    Best photographer :)

    Anneliese was absolutely amazing! Her package was extremely affordable and she was a delight to work with. My wedding photos were everything I wanted and more. Thank you!

    Anneliese is an amazing person and such a great photographer! She made our engagement photos fun and made our wedding even better! She knew where to get all the great shots at. She also was helping fix my dress all night to make sure it was perfect! Thank you Anneliese! Would recommend 100%

    Cannon Wedding 10/10/2020

    I can't say enough about Hannah. She was very flexible and was able to work through a rough, last-minute planned photo-taking session. She was extremely nice and sweet. She took amazing photos of us. I can't wait to see the final product. Hannah also worked around my nephew who was using a go pro to do some wedding videos. She didn't have one complaint about it and my nephew told me she was very nice and gave him his time too! I would highly recommend her. Prior to the wedding, I spoke with Analise who was very professional and kept me in the loop of how the day would go and when Hannah would show up, and what would be happening when she did show up. I didn't have a wedding planner and did not know what to expect, so this was very helpful. Thank you both so much. Hannah thank you for all your understanding and hard work throughout the day. We appreciate you!

    Photography by McDonough's reply:

    Thanks for your kind words Stacey. I forwarded them on to Hannah. I will call you when we have everything ready.
    Anneliese

    Couldn't have asked for a more perfect photographer

    I cannot express how thankful and happy my husband and I are that we had Anneliese and Hannah do our photography on our wedding day!

    We met Anneliese pre-COVID and we knew she was going to be amazing. We got married at Meredith Manor in Pottstown, and she knows the grounds there so well, and was able to get the most beautiful pictures along with the videography. They are everything and more I could have asked for. They arrived early to get pictures and video of me and my bridal party and family getting ready and stayed with us through almost the entire wedding reception and got some of the most priceless pictures and videos!

    I have had so many people compliment our wedding photos and honestly cannot stop looking at them myself. I am forever grateful for Anneliese and her team for capturing our wedding day and those special moments.

    Easy going and kind

    In the midst of the biggest day of your life when everyone is looking to you for things, it makes a huge difference when you have people that are so easy to work with. Anneliese was so sweet and our photographer Dennis, was absolutely wonderful. Dennis was so patient and kind every step of the way, making our pictures effortless. He was everywhere, capturing everything. He was always concerned with us having whatever we wanted and any time I went to look for him, he was right there. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

    Affordable family-run photography business

    We loved having Anneliese and her father photograph our wedding! The open air photo booth was perfect and guests loved the high quality photographs. We also loved the affordable pricing and non-intrusive style of capturing our wedding moments!

    Went way above and beyond!

    Anneliese was the sweetest woman I’ve ever met. She knew exactly what I wanted and I didn’t have to ask for a single pose or shot because she just had the eye for it. She was so patient throughout the entire process and was quick to get back to me. I highly recommend.

    Simply the best!

    Anneliese and her assistant Tina were simply the best. They arrived early and stayed from beginning to end. The photo packages they offered were very reasonably priced and professionally done. They were professional and courteous and did well with all the guests. They went above and beyond our expectations. Thank you for making our special day even more special!
    We highly recommend them for your special day! Thanks Anneliese!

    Anneliese was amazing! From our initial meeting to the wedding we could not have wished for a better photographer! She was delightful in every interaction we had with her, felt like we had known her for years. Our engagement pictures were a great time and turned out wonderful and the wedding was absolutely perfect. She knew all the right positions and spots to have our memories captured forever! Absolutely amazing, would not have changed a thing!

    Anneliese went above and beyond. I couldn't of asked for a better photographer. She does not boss you around (put your arm here and move this way or that) it feels very natural when she is taking your picture. Everybody in my family absolutely loved her as well. She even helped me understand my day of coordinator when I was confused on some things. She knows what she is doing and will help you answer any questions you may have. You get your pictures back in a timely manner. Definitely get more than what you pay for with Photography by McDonough.

    There are not enough good things I can say about Anneleise. Firstly, I met her at two separate bridal shows and liked her both times despite not remembering the companies name so it definitely was fate! Second, she travelled all the way to Philadelphia to capture our special day. Although it down poured the day of the wedding she worked quickly before the rain so that we could have our family and couple pictures outside. When I was overwhelmed she took control of the situation and took me and my fiancé away for private time and pictures. Not only are the pictures beautiful but she worked with me and my husband to get all the shots we wanted. Finally, her packages are fantastic, affordable and well worth the price!!!

    Anneliese was our first choice from the beginning! She has gone above & beyond to meet our expectations. We wanted our engagement photos done at the beach & she was willing to drive down to Delaware for no extra charge! Luckily, her father actually lives down there & ended up doing them for us. Both her & her father are so sweet & very professional. We have no doubts she will be just as amazing on our wedding day!

    I cannot say enough about Anneliese! She was absolutely amazing! From the start, our engagement photo shoot went off without a hitch and everyone loved the pictures. I am confident the wedding pictures will turn out even better. Anneliese went above and beyond any expectations one could have in a wedding photographer. She not only helped me get ready at my parents, but amongst all the craziness kept a cool head and helped keep me calm. She acted as another bridesmaid, going around the house to make sure everyone had their things when they were running late, showing me the radar as the storm looked to pass through right at the skin of our teeth before the wedding ceremony (outdoors), bustling up my dress the countless times it came undone and there was no bridesmaid in sight. Thank you is hardly enough justice as she played a big part in making our wedding everything we could have hoped for.

    We used Mcdonough photography and it was the best decision. We ever made. Analise was so professional and really helped guide us through the whole day. She too different ideas I had but she really knew where to go and what positions to put us in. I loved my photographer and highly recommend her to anyone looking for one !

    McDonough was so easy to work with and the photos turned out perfect! Anneliese did out engagement photos and got the most beautiful shots while trying to get us out of the cold December air last year. Jen took the photos at our wedding and was so good about getting the shots and, again, getting is out of the cold. Not only were the posed shots great but the action shots were fantastic as well.

    We also had a videographer. Initially I was unsure about having one, however, after my Maid of Honor's mother passed two days later unexpectedly, I'm so happy now that we have that footage. It puts things more into perspective about how nice it will be 20 years from now to have video of family and friends that may no longer be with us.

    Anneliese was wonderful! :) From our engagement pictures, to our wedding day and all the questions in-between, she was so helpful and sweet. We loved all of our wedding pictures and were so thrilled with how they turned out. We had a very large family and Anneliese made sure we got all the pictures we wanted and kept everyone on track for family photos.

    We highly recommend Photography by McDonough! :)

    I would highly recommend this photographer. We had Anneliese for our engagement and wedding day photos.
    She went above and beyond for us from helping us incorporate my dad who passed in our wedding to having our dogs on our cuff links as a way to have them there a well. The work was beautiful. My husband is not easy when it comes to pictures but she made him enjoy all the time we took for pictures. So many pictures we have having a hard time pick what we want.
    We never felt pushed or rushed. Kept track of everything for us and made sure that when it snowed on our engagement shoot that we would still get great pictures for our guest book (we were married in spring), and it was the truth it was amazing!
    Honestly the best pricing, very professional, always easy to reach and very flexible as my husband and i do not have alot of time off together.

    Looking for someone please use this family team!!!

    Anneliese was our photographer for our wedding, and my husband and I could not have been happier. She responded very quickly to emails and answered all of the questions that we had. She was very accommodating with poses that I wanted (check on Pinterest ladies!) and was very attentive throughout the whole day. The price was incredible- you cannot beat it! 100% recommend this company for photography services.
