Max doesn't just take great shots, he makes you feel comfortable on your special day. He has pure natural talent with great work ethic. Max creates a vibe that not only gives you phenomenal pictures, but in those moments you don't even realize your taking a picture. You are having the time of your life and he captures it for you and creates a memory of a lifetime. Max gave us memories we will cherish forever. He scouted our area before our wedding to deliver the pictures we wanted, but also suggest ideas we would never thought of. It's not just the talent and knowledge he has, but the little details he pays attention to , takes your pictures to another level.

We loved working with Max! He is very professional, friendly and takes awesome pictures! He captured all of our favorite highlights and guests exactly (and better) than we imagined. He also turned our photos around quickly…which is rare for many photographers! We were very happy with his photos. He has a great eye and you will not be disappointed! We highly recommend him for weddings or any other event that you have.

Max is a fantastic photographer! Our pictures are unbelievable - Max seemed to be everywhere at once, taking TONS of bride/groom pictures, but also capturing all of the little moments our guests experienced. Max was very flexible with timing and he did a great job of managing pictures with both sides of the family. Our pictures are stunning!

We chose Maximilian Franz for a corporate event. Pretty dull stuff, right? When we saw his photos, we were stunned at how beautiful they were. His perspective, composition, lighting, focus and variety of shots were all exceptional. Also, he is very easy to work with, and truly dedicated to getting all the shots you want, as well as those you might not have imagined! Top notch, very satisfied!

We used Max for our surprise wedding and could not have been happier with his services. We decided to get married last minute and was able to book Max quickly and at a great rate. He was excellent throughout the entire event - getting photos of me and my family, as well as great candid moments. The best part was that he sent me a few preview photos the next day, and all were fantastic! We cannot wait to receive the rest. Thank you Max for capturing the best day!

Maximilian (Max) Franz did an amazing job taking our engagement photos as well as the photos capturing our wedding day. We had so many compliments from friends and family about his ability and creativity to capture great moments. Max also made the experience fun and he is very easy to talk to and work with. We highly recommend Max to anyone who needs a great photographer and we will use him again in the future for any professional photos we need taken.

Maximillian captured our wedding with skill and professionalism. I couldn’t have asked for a better partner on my wedding day

Max is EVERYTHING you could want in a wedding photographer and I cannot recommend him enough! I knew I wanted him to be our wedding photographer when we got engaged because I had worked with him before – including for my best friend’s wedding. In fact, it was so important to me that I cleared the date with him before we booked the date with our venue and I’m so glad that we did! Max really takes the time to get to know you and understand who you are as people and a couple so that he and his team can capture exactly what you want to make sure you have the most beautiful memories of your wedding day. For example, I was stressed out by the thought of creating a “must-have” photo list and he told me that was fine as I wasn’t paying him so that I would have to create a list of pictures for him to take (although if that is what the couple wants, he’s happy to do that too, as he did with my best friend – who also has the MOST gorgeous pictures). Instead, we talked about w... Read morehat, generally, was important to us and Max’s instincts are so incredible and he’s so experienced that he captured the day perfectly – including making sure that we had all the pictures that might typically go on a list as well as the very essence of who we are as a couple. He also scoped out the hotel, venue, and surrounding areas beforehand so that he already knew where we could take beautiful, unique photographs – including grabbing my husband and I for a few minutes during golden hour to take some AMAZING pictures in the fading sunlight. He and his team also didn’t stick out the way some photographers do – they blended as part of the wedding which I think is part of what makes the photos they are able to get so special. Bonus? About a month before our wedding I decided that I wanted a videographer at the wedding to create a short “highlight” video – and he got me an amazing team he worked with before – for THOUSANDS of dollars less than anyone I found. Bottom line: choose Max if you want a stress-free, amazing photographer who will make sure that your photographs are everything you could imagine to capture your special day!

Max was amazing. He captured every raw moment in the wedding from tears to laughter. He got our pictures back within the week of the wedding

My husband and I were thrilled with our decision to have Max Franz photograph our Baltimore wedding. Max made sure to meet our goals for our wedding day, while capturing beautiful pictures in the process. One aspect that was most important to us was that we did not want to have a first look. Other photographers I spoke with suggested we re-consider for the sake of our pictures. Max was different; he didn’t push us towards incorporating a first look! Max assured us he could capture all of the images we wanted (including formal photos) in an efficient way. He definitely delivered on the wedding day! Max took pictures at 4 different locations on our wedding and had a calming presence throughout the whole day! Our photos turned out incredible, and we will continue to cherish them for years to come. Max said we would have TONS of photos, which he was right! Max had great communication, meeting with us in person a few times, and he was easy to reach anytime I had a question. His e...

Max did an amazing job! His pictures were incredibly creative and beautifully shot. This is a day you will want to remember forever and I highly recommend Max to make that happen.

I've known Max for a long time and have always been very impressed with his work as a photographer. When I got engaged, I knew that he was the one I wanted shooting the wedding, and as soon as I showed his portfolio to my fiancee, she agreed. We were thrilled when he was available and willing, even though the wedding was several hours from his usual geographic area. Max was a complete professional from our first meeting throughout the process, he got everything we wanted and a whole lot of stuff we didn't know we needed. He answered every question we had and his pricing was completely transparent and fair. During the wedding, he was incredibly easy to work with and gracious to all of our guests, including the super annoying ones who wanted to tell him how to do his job! We could not be more thrilled with the photos we got back and cherish them to this day. Thanks Max!

Max was a great photographer to work with! We were lucky and got his information after seeing gorgeous photos from our friend's wedding the summer prior. He has a great eye for detailing, location, and lighting. We ended up with a variety of great photos from both our engagement session and the wedding itself. He was open to our location suggestions, and did his own research on best vantage points at each place. Thank you, Max, for capturing our special day in such a beautiful way!

I have recommended Max to everyone I know! He’s wonderful! His pictures were gorgeous and the book he and his wife designed was special, unique, and I love displaying it. He was very available while I was planning and helped make suggestions for picture plans. He was fun and kind during the reception and I barely noticed him out on the dance floor but we have tons of great pictures of dancing. Hire him before someone else does!
