Melissa A. Sent on 07/16/2023Elegant, romantic, colorful photos. Highly recommend
I am so happy we picked Marina and am forever thankful for the photographs she produced. Marina photographed our July 2023 wedding and welcome BBQ on the coast of Southern Maine during what has been historically one of the rainiest seasons yet. Despite our wedding day having torrential downpours and having to change the ceremony location the day of (and our whole photography timeline) our photographs came out AMAZING. Marina was quick to adjust to the new plan (which included only indoor photos for most of the day). The quality of the photos is outstanding. I absolutely LOVE them! Marina brings an elegant, classic, romantic, and soft approach to her photographs. She takes a mixture of classic poised photos as well as some candid shots. Marina’s personality is calming and professional. I would describe Marina’s photographic style as elegant and refined.
I knew what I was looking for – which is key to hiring the right photographer. For me – the biggest deciding factor was how the photographer edits in the post process stage. I wanted someone that does their own editing (not AI), uses just the right amount of grain to the photos (so I can blow them up and frame them) and someone that truly captures the day with a timeless approach (something that stands the test of time and isn’t following a trend). Marina met all these expectations flawlessly. I chose a plethora of pink, blue, peach, and lilac pastels for my bridal colors so I knew I needed to find someone that shoots photos with a true to life color (IE- no tinted hues). Marina captured my florals and bridal party perfectly. She edited certain pictures with a little more brightness. I love how those photos almost look ethereal. The pictures truly look like they belong in a magazine. When the rain finally stopped, Marina was quick to come delicately interrupt Tony and I to make sure that we were able to capture some outdoor shots by the ocean. These shots are some of our favorites.
Marina was responsive, tactful with asking if certain family members are OK in the same pictures, and an overall gentle and calming presence I was so happy to have by my side on my wedding day. When our Welcome BBQ got a bit out of hand – she was willing to go with the flow and got some great shots of our guests. Marina delivered all photos edited in both web format and large file format within a super-fast turnaround time! I would highly recommend going with Marina. Choose her for the full day – you won’t regret those early morning pictures with your bridesmaids. If you can, I recommend hiring her for the rehearsal dinner. It’s a great way to capture extended family portraits the day before so you can have a bit more freedom in your timeline the day of.

We loved working with Marina! From the moment I spoke with her on the phone about choosing a photographer I knew she was the one. She is personable and professional, and made us feel so comfortable while we had photos done! She captured every moment of our day at Zorvino Vineyards and was so much fun to work with. Her photos came back within DAYS which was amazing- looking back at our day while it was fresh in our minds was extremely special. We can't thank her enough for capturing our amazing wedding day! -

Marina is incredible; look no further for amazing wedding photos!
Marina is an amazing photographer. Not only is she wonderfully kind, she captures the most beautiful pictures. Our wedding photos were absolutely perfect, and it was all thanks to Marina!
From the very first time we spoke with Marina, we knew she was our photographer. My husband loved her artistic eye for beautiful shots, while I loved her editing and style. During our first call, she won me over by being so knowledgeable about wedding photography, a true expert at the top of her industry.
She was very flexible when we wanted to travel to RI for our engagement photos (a place that was special to us) and we were so excited about that. She is willing to go above and beyond to make sure you are represented on your special day.
I cannot say enough about Marina except I hope she is available on your day! Look no further for a wonderful photographer!

Lindsey Sent on 10/02/2016Everything was excellent! All the pictures came out amazing and far beyond what we could have asked for. After working with Marina twice now as members of a wedding party and as the Bride and Groom, I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for the best product and results. Thank you so much!! -

Melissa Sent on 10/23/2015For my husbands gift I really wanted to do a Boudoir session. I found a lot of local photographers and read a lot of different reviews. When I talked to Marina she made me feel really excited and calmed me down. I was really nervous about booking it and also really nervous about doing it. When I first got to her in home studio I was nervous and anxious. I got changed and Marina took it from there. She showed me different things to do, how to pose, and what looked best. Her suggestions were spot on and half way through I was a lot more comfortable. After the session we sat down to pick pictures. I was in shock at how great they came out and that it was actually me. She sent over the book in the time frame she said and I loved it. My husband loved it too. Marina was really sweet and so great to work with. I would recommend her for anyone looking for something private and comfortable and great pictures. -
User1789462 Sent on 09/01/2014Marina was wonderful - very professional and friendly - she helped add to the fun of our day. She made great suggestions, was patient and considerate and she even brought a ton of props for an impromptu photo booth just in case.
Marina has a great eye - she is a very talented photographer. Finally, she was quick to send us our photos right after the wedding and continues to be a pleasure to work - despite her busy schedule she finds the time to follow up and respond to questions in a timely manner.
We felt very lucky to have found Marina and to have her with us on our wedding day! -
