Mariana was the BEST!

Mariana did the most fantastic job capturing our wedding! My now husband and I are incredibly awkward individuals for pictures and she was able to make us feel comfortable and capture the day beautifully! We wanted more candid photos and real memories to look back on and Mariana was able to take all of our visions and feedback to produce the perfect photos from our wedding! I’d recommend her to anyone!

Highly Recommended!!

I am not sure where to even begin - if I could give 10 stars I would. We were so fortunate to find Mariana and had the honor of her presence at our wedding as our photographer. She was incredibly professional from the start, and took the time to listen to all of my needs (several times!!) & captured all the moments of our special day. She was on time as promised, always communicated & responded, was dressed perfectly for the occasion and was such a pleasure from start to finish! Her prices are UNBEATABLE and the turnaround is equally impressive. She shared her insight & ideas and gave us a beautiful way to thank our guests through her table dash collage. I have and will continue to recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer and can't wait to use her for future events. Thank you again for making our day even more magical!

December Wedding

Mariana was great to work with!! Great attention to details and took the time to listen to what I wanted. We had several check in and conversation before the wedding. She also made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. Thank you Butterfly photography for capturing our special day!!

Copper Beech Bliss

Mariana was a joy to work with! From the moment my now husband and I had our initial meeting, I knew we were in good hands, and she kindly worked with us in the days leading up to our wedding at The Copper Beech Inn to confirm what we were looking for and would like to see in our final photographs.

On the day of, Mariana's talent for orchestrating photographs and infusing an otherwise hectic time with good humor completely calmed my nerves, and the final images--of which there are many--look exceedingly polished while also conveying the joy of our nuptials.

I'm incredibly grateful for her professionalism and would recommend her to all future brides without hesitation.

Best Photographer I Could Have Asked For!

Mariana was so helpful. She took beautiful pictures, listened to what I thought/wanted while also sharing her opinion and expertise. She was patient and flexible but knew how to take charge so I felt less stress the day of.
Every single photograph she sent to us was beautiful and we love them all. She took detailed notes on which photos we would want taken, how we wanted them to look, etc. and she always got back to us in a very quick and friendly manner. We would absolutely hire her again and cannot recommend Butterfly Photography enough!

Beautiful pictures and wonderful experience!

Mariana is an amazing photographer! My husband and I are not huge photo people so she really helped us with poses that worked best for us. She was calm, supportive and made the experience fun. We used her for our engagement photos and wedding day photos. We had a wedding party of 18 including me and my husband. She was able to control all the rowdy guys and had great banter with the girls.

The pictures came out absolutely AMAZING! These pictures are everything I have ever wanted in my wedding pictures. Such great memories were captured that we now get to cherish forever. The pictures are so bright and crispy. We had a beginning of fall wedding and the colors in the photos are breathtaking.

We would recommend 1000x to anyone!
