BEST photographer in Bakersfield hands down! Marsha is wonderful to work with. She takes her time to make you feel comfortable and produces such beautiful, candid photos. She captured EXACTLY what my fiance and I envisioned for our engagement photo session. I give my highest recommendation.Thank you, Marsha!!!

I could spend pages explaining just how amazing Marsha is! I am blessed to have her by my side to document my pregnancy and newborn photos of my two girls and now family memories! There is no one who can capture the spirit and sass of my girls like Marsha! She makes you feel comfortable and beautiful! Her artistry and eye for just the right shot shines through every click! She always has an encouraging word and her breathtaking work speaks for itself! She has captured the moments and heart of family my that will be shared for generations. Thank you so much for capturing these memories and for always shooting with your heart!

Marsha is amazing!!! Picking the right photographer was one of the most important for us since pictures/videos are what you have left from your special day. I had narrowed my search down to just a few but after speaking to Marsha on the phone, the search was over. I instantly knew I wanted her to be our wedding photographer. Not only is her work AMAZING, she is the sweetest. She made us feel so at ease and comfortable. She was always there when I would call/text her. She even had recommendations for other vendors we were still searching for!! She was always there with any questions we had all the way to our wedding day. Not only is she the sweetest person, her work is outstanding. We can truly say that we love every single one of our wedding pictures and these are things we will cherish forever. We can't thank Marsha enough and 1000% recommend her. You won't regret it.

Amazing photographer! Very personable but professional. Has a unique style and always captures the individual's personality and character. She's photographed my son, many many of my friends and has even traveled with us for a destination wedding! The personal service you get is 5 stars! You won't be disappointed! Infact you'll fall in love with Marsha's work and want to use for many life capturing events.

This review is LONG overdue but wow Marsha is hands down the BEST photographer ever!! It amazes me how incredible and breath taking my wedding photos are! They look like they came straight out of a wedding magazine! When I first met Marsha we had an instant connection and even shared a teary eyed moment in our first meeting and I knew she was my photographer. She was everything and above! Not only is she an amazing photographer but she also will do above and beyond like fixing your hair/makeup/dress/extra bobbypins/ and even helped me pick stickers out of my dress after one of our pics we took in a vineyard! Marsha is so kind hearted and professional and has the most beautiful heart and is such a joy to have around. She carries a beautiful smile along with her camera and you can ensure she will capture everything like it was a fairytale. My video crew had nothing but nice things to say about her and truly in the end Marsha became someone so near and dear to me and my husbands heart. She had a second photographer help her capture and I honestly can't tell which ones Marsha or her assistant took they both have the same creative view of capturing! Also the turn around time for my wedding pictures and album was quick and she updated me the entire time! From the engagement shoot to the wedding to the album, it was all such a beautiful experience. We are so blessed to have had the best photographer in California shoot our wedding. She was worth every penny and more!! Thank you so much Marsha, we will forever cherish and adore you. -Kiana & Terrance

Marsha gave us beautiful family photos that we will cherish forever. She captured our daughters sweet, spunky nature flawlessly. Not only are her photography skills amazing (which shows by a quick look through her gallery), but she makes taking photos fun and painless. She took great care of our daughter and two dogs, making everyone relaxed throughout the session. How can you not love a photographer who has it all? Well she is it! We have found our family photographer and look forward to working with Marsha for all of our photography needs!

Marsha deserves more than 5 stars!!!! I found The Photegé when I was looking up photographers in Bakersfield because I wanted to do a family photo session there. It made a lot of sense to find someone who was a local and knew the area and locations for photo spots.I contacted Marsha after reviewing pictures on her Instagram account and after speaking with her on the phone, there was no hesitation as I knew I wanted to hire her and work with her. I am a mother of 2 and I wanted someone who had experience working with young children. Marsha was the perfect choice because having children of her own, she was able to help me prepare for the shoot and during the shoot, she helped guide my family so that we were able to capture memorable moments that I was actually surprised came out "Beautiful" because my toddler wasn't really cooperating (picture a 3 year old hyper little boy running amuck in an open field). My toddler who is very shy to people he meets the 1st time opened up to Marsha right away and even though he was extremely hyper and wasn't cooperating, she was able to get him distracted a few times so that we were able to get a lot of family picture shots. If you looked at the pictures she took, you wouldn't have known the hard effort Marsha put in to get those shots.Thank you so much Marsha and I am definitely coming back to you for more family photo sessions!

I found Marsha as I was looking to have a photographer take multi generational photos and family pictures for myself and my family. Marsha's eye for detail and capturing spontaneous moments is amazing and I am so pleased with the end result as these photos are truly memories that will last a lifetime! I can't recommend Marsha enough, she is a true artist and professional

Marsha is, hands down, THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHER EVER. This review is long overdue, but I really wanted to find time to cover every amazing thing about Marsha and her work. She is such a pleasure to work with. She's so professional, fun and down-to-earth. From the day we booked her for our wedding, she has been nothing but sweet and supportive- making every photoshoot (engagement, wedding and family) such a fun, relaxing and positive experience for me and my family. She is a true artist who captures such memorable moments beautifully and with so much attention to detail; EVERY picture she takes is stunning. We couldn't have had a more perfect photographer to capture our wedding day. Marsha has a true eye for photography, and she takes so much pride in her work. I highly recommend her to capture your wedding day and more!

All of her wedding pictures are absolutely beautiful so I knew she had to be the one to take my sons senior pictures. She is a pleasure to work with, very flexible and quick at getting your gallery together for you. We talked about what we wanted and had a list of ideas for her and she exceeded our expectations!!! We are very happy and pleased and I promise you will be too! Thank you so much Marsha!
