“Milly left me SPEECHLESS. Seriously. I was very intentional in the vendors I chose who would bring our big day to life. I wanted folks who were LGBTQ+ inclusive, celebrated all bodies, and let us just be our most authentic selves. Milly was all that and then some. We jived so well and you can see that in the incredible images she was able to capture. No stiff posing, no awkward prompts, just me, my partner, and our nearest & dearest doing our thing and loving on each other like we always do. Choose vendors who you like, whose work you love, and who you can trust to do what you’re hiring them to do.

Milly went above and beyond (and then some) for our day. The images are EVERYTHING. I can feel every bit of emotion when I look back on these (which I do, a lot).

There’s no one else I would’ve booked for our wedding. Milly is inclusive, supportive, down to crack some jokes, and doesn’t shy away from any idea you throw at her. ♥️”

“Milly is one of the most talented and hard working people I’ve ever met. Her photography is genuine and truly a reflection of her and the couples she shoots.

She was so flexible with me and my husband and our plans. We went from planning an extravagant wedding to an elopement, but ultimately decided on a micro wedding with just our immediate family and Milly was excited to hear we were doing something authentic to us. She immediately sent me her availability for our new time frame and we got married two weeks later.

Not only did I receive the best photos anyone has ever taken of me, but I also gained a friend. Not once throughout the process did I feel like a burden.

I lost both of my grandmas before our micro wedding and Milly showed up with soup and offered me her shoulder. I lost my dad 12 days after I got married. Milly immediately sent me all the photos she had with him in them. Not once did I ask her to, she did so out of the kindness of her own heart.

I truly mean it when I say she’s the most genuine, hard working, and caring photographer I’ve ever met. My husband and I both have said if we had to do our wedding over, hiring The Rose Reflective would be the one thing that we didn’t change.

I am forever in love with our photos from our day, and find myself gushing at every new set of couples she posts. Her photography is truly a work of art.”

— Erika Beyersdorf

“We found Milly while searching for inclusive vendors in the Alabama area. The second we saw her Instagram feed, we instantly fell in love with her style.

We met her in person for the first time the day of the wedding (we live in the Netherlands). It felt like we had known her our whole lives. She blended in with our group and made us feel like we could be ourselves. We didn't feel the need to do all the traditional poses. We trusted Milly to capture our special moments and we are not disappointed!

We received our preview pictures and they are incredible. She captured the special moments but also the little details we didn't even get to see. She has a true gift and we can't thank Milly enough. If you are looking for a photographer, this is the one.”

— Christine Cunningham

“Milly goes above and beyond to make sure whatever moment in your life is captured beautifully. She’s also one of the most inclusive humans on this planet and you can rest assured she will accept you and make you feel soooo loved! It also helps that she’s such a fun time and super talented. Can’t say enough good things. ❤️”

— Jayme Wagner

“Milly is such an amazing photographer and what an awesome person she is!

I had boudoir photos with her a few months back and she made me feel so comfortable and like a queen. She has such a wonderful personality. “

— Lindsey Bradley

“I'd give a million stars if I could. Milly is not only super talented and creative, but she's also such a kind and thoughtful person (she even played our wedding song so we could dance to it during our session!!!) She made my otherwise very awkward husband feel comfortable in front of the camera. Her style of photography is super authentic and not at all pose-y or stiff. Milly let us just wander around and captured the sweetest moments. And she does gifs! They were such an incredible addition to our already gorgeous photos. She's a gem of a photographer and you won't regret hiring her!!!”

— Meghann Kennedy

“Milly is not only an incredible photographer by craft, but your most valuable asset on wedding day. She was able to construct beautiful moments that basically just felt like playtime. Becca and I could not have asked for a more professional yet open hearted and passionate person to document the greatest day of our life together.”

— Scott Hodges

“Milly is so easy to work with, super professional, and has an eye for capturing shots/moments that not many other photographers would think of. She is so passionate and creative with her work. My wife and I just got our wedding photos back and they are purely magical. We would recommend her to everybody for any type of event.”

— Rohan Sitaram

“Milly is such a joy to work with! She makes sure you are comfortable, listens to your vision, and captures the most incredible moments. Our wedding photos are everything I've dreamed of-- natural, candid, and gorgeous. She worked our entire wedding day and kept such a positive and uplifting vibe!“

— Michelle and Johnny Dean

“There are not enough words in the dictionary to describe how happy and pleased I am with the Reflective Rose! If you're looking for the most lovely soul in the world to photograph your special moments in life, Milly is the one. She has such a passion for what she does and it definitely shows in her work. She gives her absolute all and nothing less in order to capture that raw beautiful emotion during your oh so precious moments. When I received both my engagement and wedding photos all the feelings and magic of the day came back. Milly is a pleasure to work with and we were so lucky to be able to work with her. My husband and I couldn't recommend her enough!!”

— Anna Briem

“Hire Milly, you will not regret it! We were about to sign a contract with another photographer for our wedding, but when we met with Milly, it was clear that her passion, kindness, and skills are unmatched. Once you’re a client of Milly’s, it feels like you’re a part of her family forever! I seriously have not heard of another photographer that goes above and beyond like Milly does. The quality of her services is truly priceless, and she truly ensures that everyone feels comfortable, safe, relaxed, and loved. Her communication and planning were incredibly helpful on our big day, and she really did an impeccable job of making sure everything went smoothly. She also picked up coffee for the wedding party, helped with boutonnieres, and did so many little things on the day of the wedding. In fact, Milly was the most helpful vendor we hired; she’s just that great! We received so many pictures and GIFs from our big day, that almost two years later, I’m still noticing little moments she captured. In addition to our wedding, we’ve had Milly shoot our engagement photos, a boudoir session, a mini-session in the woods, and we have an upcoming family session booked. Wouldn’t want anyone else to capture our milestones as a couple. The Rose Reflective is 11/10. Book her!”

— Anna Gronge

“You know when someone has a purpose-they get so fired up for everything that falls in line with that. Well taking photos, capturing love stories-THAT is Milly’s purpose. The work she has been able to create through the Rose Reflective speaks to that. It was a privilege having Milly as our guest of honor for our intimate elopement. Our pictures our only a drop in the bucket at her talent and the testament to her ability. Our wedding photos are beautiful, magical, serene, intimate-she expertly captured our essence. I could sing her praises all day long but to be honest the work, dedication, and magic speaks for itself.”

— Allyson Bergner

“Milly is one of the most intentional people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. She is so good at story telling through a lens and is constantly working on her craft. A maternity session she did for me just a few weeks before my son was born early is still so incredibly meaningful. The photos meant so much and gave me comfort to look back on while he was in the NICU. She truly cares about her clients and goes the extra mile. I’m so proud of Milly as a friend and as a colleague.”

— Alivia Cleckler

“Where to even start with how wonderful our experience with Milly was! We knew very quickly that we wanted to use The Rose Reflective for our maternity photos because of how dreamy and natural all her photoshoots continuously were. We chose a location that was out of town for all of us, and while we were familiar with the area, loved that she already chose specific spots that fit in with the vision we had so it was one less thing we had to worry about! It’s so easy to be yourself and be comfortable around Milly and I think that really shines in her work. We’re beyond thankful for all the sweet moments she captured, and can’t wait to use her again!”

— Jenna Morris

“Milly is not only a talented photographer, but also an absolute joy to work with. I found her on Instagram and loved her style, and when I reached out, she really took the time to get to know us, and I think it shows in our photos. She was available all throughout the process to answer questions, adjust our package preferences, and give advice and encouragement along the way. With Milly, you’ll get stunning photos, but you’ll also get a friend who truly takes the time to understand what you are all about and make sure your photos tell your love story. I cannot recommend her highly enough. I’m in love with our photos, and we had such a great time working with her.”

—Susan Elliott

“There’s not enough words to express how wonderful working with Milly was! She captured the most tender moments between me and my husband. She captured every moment that was special and made them permanent tangible memories. They are magic. It’s impossible to choose favorites because each picture is another word in our wedding story. I want to look at them every day.

She exceeds the word photographer in every way and she makes magic. She was the best decision for our wedding hands down. Best photographer in the state without a doubt.”

— Brie Jeffreys

“Milly was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Her work is stunning and speaks for itself. So, I will speak to her as a person, vendor, and all around delight to have around on my wedding day. Milly was hands down my favorite vendor my partner and I chose to work with. She made us feel comfortable and supported and free to do what we wanted on our day. She’s warm, inclusive, and will help you look amazing on your day. Speaking from experience because I do not know how to act in front of a camera. She even orchestrated a super fun last song dance-off with all of remaining guests to Hey Ya. Milly will go above and beyond for you on your day and that is invaluable.”

— Stephanie Strength

“Working with Milly on our wedding day was an absolute blessing! We never once felt rushed or uncomfortable. Milly gave her opinions and suggestions along the journey of planning our wedding and we honeslty could not have gotten through the day stress free without her! Her creativity goes above and beyond to get the perfect shots for your very special occasions.”

— Melanie Boyles

“I absolutely cannot speak highly enough about our experience working with Milly (The Rose Reflective). From the first time meeting Milly over Zoom I knew she was the photographer I wanted to capture our wedding day. Not only is she a wonderful, funny, creative human being. She is also fiercely dedicated to the same values as us. You will probably not find a more inclusive, supportive, and badass photographer than Milly. From our couple’s steamy boudoir shoot to the day of our wedding, I have not questioned my decision of picking Milly for a second. Her creative eye and editing style is so dreamy, so ethereal, so cinematic. I could go on forever about how amazing our experience was, but just look at her instagram and website and you’ll see her talent. 100/10 recommend.”
