Marcy (she/her)
Marcy is a remarkable photographer because she truly sees people. It is her heart’s desire to capture your memories in the most authentic, and beautiful way possible. She is keen on detail and what she captures is absolutely breath-taking every time. Marcy is special and a caring soul, therefore she is a photographer you can be confident in. She first fell for photography when she became a mom more than 25 years ago. As her children have grown, so has her photography. It thrills and surprises her that what began as a hobby has become a true passion. Now her favorite aspect of using her camera is to show someone how truly beautiful they are in every setting.

Ellie (she/her)
Greetings from a 25 year old extroverted introvert who feels deeply, loves relentlessly, and serves passionately. I am married to my best friend, training for my first marathon, and converting a 1998 International School bus into a tiny home on wheels! My soul feeds on genuine connection with others, saying "yes" to life and new experiences, and chasing my wildest dreams with my hubby. If you need someone on your wedding team who will crack a joke to help you relax, fix that last strand of hair stuck in your eyes, or smile and laugh with you until it hurts; look no further! I LOVE to laugh and giggle with our brides and grooms, and make the most of turning your favorite moments into forever memories. Connecting with our couples is one of my absolute favorite parts of this job!
Shooting your wedding is not just another day in the office for me - it is an honor that will never be overlooked. I will cherish your day as if it were mine again. I vow to do everything in my power to capture your day in the fullest and prioritize your values on that day as if they were my own.

He loves the challenge of finding the beauty in the mundane and using this to only strengthen him as a creative. In fact, his interest in photography began with an iPhone. Now as a professional Jon appreciates the beauty of profound moments like weddings and the emotion-filled engagement sessions. Jon admittedly is obsessed with capturing life through the highest quality images. He is talented, passionate, and eager as a photographer. Jon makes the most of every session and situation by capturing images to be proud of and cherish as a keepsake.

Morgan (she/her)
Morgan is C.Mae's family, couples, maternity, and newborn photographer. As a Mother of 2, Morgan understands how important capturing family moments are. C.Mae has actually captured all of her life's biggest moments including her engagement, wedding and a maternity shoot with her firstborn.
Morgan's full-time job is in Sales for a Boston-based Tech company. So joining C.Mae not only allows her to use her creative side but she loves being able to capture family's biggest moments just as C.Mae has for her. Morgan's favorite photos to capture are authentic, real-life candid photos- the way a child looks at their mom or dad, a 2-week-old's little smirk or the way a newly engaged couple looks at one another with such love- those moments to look back on for years to come.

Tyler (he/him)
I am a laid-back and easy-going guy bitten by the creative bug sometime during my final years of high school. I've had a camera in my hand since then and have fallen in love with capturing the special and intimate moments of a wedding day. From the artistic aspects of operating a camera and getting the perfect shot, to the intricacies of capturing the perfect audio and putting together a seamless edit that effectively tells your love story. These are the things that get me up in the morning -- coffee too, of course -- and keep me up at night thinking of what my next film will be like.
I tend to stay calm and relaxed (we all know most wedding days could use some more of that), but know very well when to kick it into gear and GET SHIT DONE.
I am beyond blessed to have spent the last few years married to Ellie, my best friend and another one of the photographers here on the C.Mae team. We spend our free time traveling, golfing and playing tennis, and of course, playing and snuggling with our dorky dog Jude <3.

Lauren (She/her)
Growing up, my sisters and I practically lived behind our mom's video camera. We created countless home videos – the kind that bring instant smiles every time you press play. That's the feeling I want to give you: those genuine moments, captured with the same meticulous care I've always poured into my projects. I believe that spark of childhood joy still shines through in my work, ensuring your wedding day is preserved exactly as you remember it – authentic, joyful, and wonderfully you!
As a fellow 2025 bride, I truly understand the magic of this season. I'm living my dream, balancing my own wedding planning with my passion for capturing love stories. And when I'm not behind the lens, you'll find me snuggling my two beloved cats – my purrfect stress relievers! I bring that same love and care to every wedding I capture, ensuring your memories are cherished for a lifetime. And to finish on fun fact about me - I have cried at every wedding I've ever worked!

Hey I'm Mikaila! I have been involved in the wedding industry since 2018 and it is the greatest joy of my life to be a part of so many milestones for people everywhere! It is something I will never take for granted to be trusted with your most important memories. I am excited to be helping out the C.Mae team with the backend editing of your memories and also working alongside your lead photographers as your second photographer! In my free time you can find me at a workout class or a hot girl walk when it's nice out in Wisconsin, trying out a new restaurant with my Husband, traveling to new places, or watching Wicked for the millionth time. :)
