Mo Davis Photographer | Reviews

Most wedding photographers take photos of weddings. Mo does not. Mo tells stories.

What’s the difference? The difference is that you will not have just 10-20 highlight photographs that you love. Instead you will look through your gallery in awe at how each photo stands on its own. This is more impressive given that Mo shoots only film. Imagine being so good that you don’t edit in post, but simply nail 700+ shots that tell the full arc of a day. That was my gallery fr om Mo. Photo after photo capturing people as they are, moments as they were.

The difference is that you will tell Mo at your introductory meeting the feelings you want to capture in your wedding, and months down the road she will deliver to you a set of photographs that, impossibly, contain the energy you had aspired to. (These were, for us, as abstract as “gravitas and solemnity” “magical, ethereal, fairytale” “elegant”—and yet there these are, plain as day, in our photos.)

The difference is that Mo lets the story unfold while also crafting it. The photos will be your day, just more artfully told. Here are some concrete examples: most of the photos will be you and your loved ones, candid—but sometimes she’ll guide you to some improbably gorgeous shot and guide you—walk by here—ok--got it. She may tell your make up artist to make adjustments because you will otherwise look washed out in photos. (If so, she will be correct, as she was for me.) You worry your venue is tricky with shifting lighting, and she arrives a day early to scope out so she’ll get the best light the day-of. Your mom will say the chairs look better in the photos than they did in real life. And so on.

Mo is a storyteller whose language is photography. She is unparalleled in what she does. She is warm and lovely as a summer breeze, but absolutely ON on wedding day, wh ere she becomes an artist in her element; a professional in her zone. Arguably insanely, I looked at 200+ photographers before finding Mo. I went through all the best-of lists, all the message boards, you name it. Now I have my gallery in hand and can say — I feel beyond lucky she was my photographer. May you also be so blessed!

Three words: Mo was AWESOME! As a man, I wanted selfishly to not pay much for wedding extras that can get expensive such as flowers, photography, etc. Mo Davis was worth every penny. Mo's attentiveness and attention to detail were second to none. She attended all our events and made it extra special for my wife and I taking pictures of everything and everyone she could. And they were beautiful pictures too. She genuinely listened to our requests and our ideas. Not only did Mo take beautiful photos of our families but also intimate photos that chronicled our wonderful weekend. She took pictures of the flowers, invitations, our rings, food and cake displays, just to name a few. She was everywhere. Best of all, she was really quick to get our pictures to us. We were totally amazed at the quality and quantity of pictures capturing everything from the most priceless moments at social events to exquisite group photos to the prettiest detail of close up shots. She was everywhere and got it all. Plus, Mo is one of the nicest people we met on our journey into marriage. A true treasure! PS...I was able to include some photos that I had saved on my iphone. The grooms cake, my father and I, my bride and I post ceremony...

We have been lucky enough to call Mo not only our photographer, but an extension of our family for over five years. Ever since we met Mo to photograph our wedding, we made the decision that she would always be our photographer for everything we do...from personal celebrations (weddings, maternity, newborn, etc.) to our business (Mo also does our professional photography and is a critical piece to a fundraiser our business holds each year...donating a lot of her work to help our cause!), Mo has and will always be our go-to photographer. To be clear, we don't only use her because of our personal relationship. We use her because her work is impeccable and unique...paying attention to every detail to commemorate the special moments in our life or bring a vision to reality...we use Mo because she, in our humble opinion, is the best and we are so grateful to have her in our lives! My recommendation is that if you want someone who really wants to understand you and your vision, who is an absolute genius behind the lens, who will help you remember and cherish those special moments...all while finding a new lifelong friend/family member...well, Mo Davis is your gal!

Working with Mo Davis is a photography experience unlike any other. Her unique eye and intuitive direction culminate to provide you with one-of-a-kind memories frozen in time. While I worked in the bridal industry for five years, I watched her talent flourish, bringing forth some of the most stunning wedding photos throughout the southeast. She then styled and directed my maternity photos, leaving me with some of the most creative shots I ever could have imagined. As a bonus, her energy and kindness are unparalleled! I will forever recommend using Mo for any important occasion in your life. There is only one Mo Davis!!!

I have had the distinct pleasure now of booking Mo for various events over the years and to say she is an incredible talent and gifted artist is an under statement! She is the most passionate photographer with an artistic eye in front and behind the camera. Mo, is creative, a natural, relaxed, fun, candid, genuine, kind and so easy going she makes you feel like every job is so important to her! She is simply the best… and also gives great advice! If you want the very best… she’s your gal… and if that isn’t enough… you will most likely have your fabulous images in 24 hours. My clients were and are blown away with her work and the turn around.
