ABOUT MARGO & HER PORTFOLIO
Margo has done professional photography and photo restoration/ enhancement since 2005, and amateur shooting for decades and is a member of the PPA (Professional Photographers Association).
She comes from a long line of photo pros: her father was a professional photographer and art teacher in Italy and the U.S. Her maternal uncle, David M. Spear, is a nationally famous photographer with photos hanging in the Guggenheim and the N.Y. Metropolitan. Another uncle is a professor of journalism at the University of Richmond. Her grandparents were lifetime newspaper editors, international photographers and writers. Learn more here.
Margo is very talented at capturing the emotions and unique moments of the day, with creative, gentle humor and relaxed ease. Her warm, easy, familiar personality makes photo sessions enjoyable especially for camera-shy people! She also is very skilled at using computer editing to enhance the artistic value of your images. Formal portrait style photos are also available.
Since she has a journalistic photo style (storyteller) and a professional graphic artist, Margo can also make a slideshow video (on MP4 format) of pre-existing photos to tell your wedding story to others. Accompanied by a soft music background, subtle matching graphics, editing, and created with your best wedding images. Running time is 8-17 minutes. See examples, below in blue.
