To Shibani and Jeff's Wedding
- CHAD & JAMIE
Georgi is the one thing about our wedding that was an absolute slam-dunk; she was perfect... Her photos are candid, beautiful, and beautifully composed. Combine this with Georgi's pleasant and calming presence during what is inevitably a stressful day, and we'd strongly recommend her to anyone.
- Nami
It's important to feel comfortable with your photographer. Georgi helped us feel so at ease. That is why we hired her for both our wedding and our daughter's first birthday. Not only does she deliver a quality product but she listens to your concerns, needs and wants and accommodates accordingly.
- Justin
Georgi was absolutely fantastic. She was super responsive and very fun to work with. She caught some wonderful moments across the entirety of our wedding with very little involvement on our part. I can't thank her enough for the great memories we can now cherish forever. She went above and beyond!
Priceless! Our photos turned out stunning and we will cherish them for years to come. Georgi was really warm and easy to work with, making sure our photographer Ryan would get all the shots we envisioned. He did such a great job and really made us feel comfortable. The photos are all really unique and special.

Hello! We're a team of photographers based in New York and the hudson valley, headed by Georgi Richardson. Georgi has been an event and advertising photographer for twenty years and runs the Maggie marguerite office, as well as shooting a number of the studio's jobs.
"Maggie" was georgi's cockney Granny and "Marguerite" is her middle name. It's a made-up name but one based on her family... A large part of the studio's focus has always been on "family", so she thought it was appropriate! WE'RE A TEAM OF VETERAN SHOOTERS AND EDITORS - WITH YEARS OF EVENT, EDITORIAL AND ADVERTISING PHOTOGRAPHY, CINEMATOGRAPHY AND EDITING EXPERIENCE BEHIND US.
We like to make bright, bold imagery of people erupting into laughter, ecstatic dancing, food that looks ready-to-devour, rooms bursting with atmosphere! We are experts at capturing human joy and energy in imagery, where moments feel “real” and “ring true".
All of us bring something personal to the way we shoot, but what unites our work is our focus on creating spontaneous, vibrant imagery where people’s true expressions are captured as they enjoy the moment, where decor pops and atmosphere is captured - where a captivating story is told.
Our team is experienced yet easy-going. We bring good vibes, a sense of humour and efficiency to every shoot.
Our work has been featured in the prestigious New York Magazine Weddings' "Best Of" list since 2010, and has appeared in The New York Times, Good Morning America, The Knot, Snippet & Ink, Brooklyn Bride, Brides UK, Zagat, Food and Wine, Carats and Cake and H & H Weddings amongst many others.

Erica →
Georgi's originally from Hong Kong and is a graduate of Parsons School of Design (in Paris and New York). She has been an event, editorial and advertising photographer for 20 years. She has two kids with her husband William. Her favourite quote about life is one by the playwright August Wilson; "All you need in the world is love and laughter. That's all anybody needs. To have love in one hand and laughter in the other." Laughing is at the core of everything Georgi loves and does.
Her first professional position was managing the studio of an acclaimed Vanity Fair/Vogue/Town & Country socialite and celebrity photographer. She cut her teeth at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party and assisting on exotic, high-profile Vogue shoots.
Georgi has shot events everywhere from Rajasthan to Cuernavaca to Aspen. Her clients include British Vogue, MTV, The Intercontinental, Warner Bros Music, chef Charlie Palmer and Hong Kong Land.

Erica, a native New Yorker and mother of three, is a veteran shooter with years of event and portrait photography experience. To date, she has photographed approximately 450 weddings and been a lead photographer at the studio for over eight years.
She brings boundless energy and positivity to all her shoots. She delivers a balance of candid and posed shots to clients, offering some direction at appropriate moments (mainly during periods where portraits are being taken, but occasionally during the event itself too) as well as creating a large number of documentary imagery throughout the event.
Her images are dramatic, spontaneous and joyous!

Ryan →
Sasha is originally from Russia and came to the States to pursue a career in fashion photography. Her work has been featured in Vogue and Martha Stewart Weddings and she has been a lead shooter at the studio for close to seven years. Recently she gave birth to her first child!
Sasha is warm, patient and much loved by our clients! She brings a generosity of spirit to any event she is working at and this shows in her imagery - people want to smile when Sasha is taking their picture.
With her background in fashion photography, she is adept at offering direction to clients whenever necessary and is also comfortable shooting candid imagery throughout the event.
