Marcia and Fonnie were so wonderful to work with on our wedding day. I’m not someone who is generally comfortable in front of the camera and was nervous about having my picture taken, especially at 6 months pregnant, and it was just as easy and fun as can be. And the photos came out so beautiful! I was just hoping for a couple where I didn’t look terribly awkward and now I cannot even choose a favorite to frame, there are so many stunning ones! I’m so thankful for such a lovely experience 💜

When we first talked to Marcia, we warned her that we were not photogenic, which she laughed and said about a third of the people she photographs says that and not to worry. And boy, was that accurate! Every single photo was beautiful and captured the happiness we felt. There were some ceremony shots where we said, "Was she wearing an invisibility cloak?! Was she running around like the Flash?!" because she captured so many different angles and moments and we had no idea she was getting those pictures. She even managed to get a great picture of my sister who was FaceTiming in to see the ceremony! I told my friend who is engaged I wished we could fly Marcia up to New York for her ceremony because she is the best photographer in the biz. Talent aside, Marcia is a genuine light and brought such excitement and joy with her, and her passion was palpable. So grateful we were able to meet and work with her.

We cannot recommend Marcia enough! From our very first communication, it was clear that we were in the hands of a true professional. She took the time to understand our vision and preferences, making us feel comfortable and excited about our big day.
On the day of the wedding, Marcia and her daughter Krislyn were not only punctual and organized but also incredibly adaptable. They blended seamlessly into the background, capturing candid moments that truly reflect the joy and emotion of the day. Their ability to capture the essence of our love story in every shot is something we are forever grateful for.
The preliminary photos exceeded our expectations! Each image is beautifully composed and tells a story. We especially love the photo she captured of my husband “dipping” me while the second line played in the background. It was clear that Marcia has an incredible eye for detail and a genuine passion for photography.
Communication throughout the entire process was fantastic. She kept us updated and made sure we felt comfortable every step of the way. We truly felt like we were working with a friend rather than just a vendor.
If you're looking for a wedding photographer who is talented, professional, and genuinely cares about their clients, look no further than Marcia- Ibay Photography.
We are beyond thrilled with our experience and cannot wait to share our beautiful photos with family and friends. Thank you for capturing our special day so perfectly!
