    I 100% recommend Macaw Experience. Priscilla was very easy to work with and so friendly. She helped my now husband coordinate our engagement and elopement. She photographed both special days, giving us tangible memories to look back to. She assisted in coordinating for my hair, makeup and nails to be done for my wedding day. Thank you so much for all you did.
