    Efficient and Adaptable Photographer

    Mari was a fantastic photographer. She was extremely efficient and adaptable when we had some unexpected rain. Our pictures were beautiful and really captured the joy we felt throughout our wedding day. Her presence was calming and we were confident that she would get all the shots we needed. 10/10 recommend.

    Mari is the best!

    Mari did a phenomenal job with our wedding and engagement photos. She made us feel comfortable and managed to capture our relationship so well in her photos. For my husband who doesn't like having photos done, she made the process so easy and even fun! Her turn around with edits is quick and she communicated well throughout the process.

    Service and Photography Beyond Belief

    Captured by Mari has the ability to capture the moment probably better than you remember it. Our goal was to have pictures that captured the moment so we will remember details of our wedding day well into the future. She did that and so much more. Her personality, confidence, and flexibility took our experience even further. Mari even had a quick turnaround with the photos. Everyone is absolutely in love with the photos!

    Highly Recommend!

    We are so happy we chose Mari to capture our wedding day. Photographs were one of our top priorities and every single picture she took was perfect! Mari was professional, but made everything feel so personal, especially making sure she had the names of family and friends we wanted specific pictures with. She did an amazing job managing the time and getting shots of every important event of the day. Mari also did my bridal portrait photo shoot and two engagement sessions (we did a second one because we postponed our wedding due to covid--which Mari was so accomadating with). We have no regrets working with Mari. We recommend her 100%!

    Mari did an amazing job with all of our pictures! She did both our engagement and wedding pictures, and despite our wedding being in the midst of the pandemic, she was always very dependable! My husband and I don’t always photograph very well, but she was able to get so many great pictures of us, without it being awkward. She got plenty of beautiful candid shots and also helped pose us. I would definitely recommend Mari for engagement or wedding pictures. And everyone at our wedding loved her!

    Mari did our engagement photos and wedding day photos and we absolutely love them! She was great to work with and so responsive which makes planning go so smooth. She also was super organized on wedding day and knew everyone's name and did a great job directing and capturing each moment of the day.

    Mari adapted perfectly to every situation during the wedding. We couldn't be happier with her professionalism, her quality of the photos, and she was kind and considerate! I really recommend Capture by Mari.

    THE very best photographer!!

    Mari is an amazing photographer!!! She captures every moment perfectly. We were so surprised at how fast and easy family photos were after our ceremony- she had it so well organized and knew each family member by name- making the process so effortless for us. Mari sends a timeline email, and several questions about your vision, any particular pictures you are hoping for, and family dynamics a month before your wedding to make the day run smoothly. Mari is super affordable, and so kind. She takes her time in editing the pictures, and gives you sneak peeks if she has the time (We LOVE this)!! Mari knows how to perfectly capture the right lighting for her pictures, and chooses areas that will make the pictures so much more beautiful. Mari did both our engagement photoshoot, and day of our wedding photos and we could not be happier that we choose her. Mari allows for the option to have a second photographer there to help her, which is so awesome and so worth it because together they capture twice the amount of photos, and get the fine details of the day. Mari's website is very simple to navigate and it is well written so you know exactly what you will receive. We love Mari and her work and will keep working with her for future photos!!

    Perfectly Captured

    Working with Mari was one of the best decisions I could've made. A friend recommended her for our engagement photos and she was not only affordable but was able to capture the most amazing photos. My now husband-fiance at the time- and I never took pictures together other than the basic couple pictures at events, so we were nervous we would feel awkward trying to take cute engagement pictures. All I can say is Mari was so amazing at making it all just come out natural and we had so much fun and shared so much laughter and got the dreamy pictures we were hoping for. We loved her so much we decided to use her for our wedding and I cannot express enough how impressed I was with her flexibility and professionalism. Her personality is second to none. She was able to capture special moments of both bridal parties throughout the entire day and exceeded all expectations in the final pictures delivered. Mari brought a second photographer to make sure absolutely nothing was missed. My husband and I got emotional looking through all of them and reliving our wonderful day. Mari, thank you so much! I hope to work with you in the future for any of our other life events that we would like captured(bymari)!

    The perfect wedding photographer!

    I could not imagine having a better photographer for our engagement photos, my bridal portraits and our wedding day. Choosing Mari was the best decision that I have made. From the start she was very responsive, professional and so easy to work with! Mari is extremely talented and makes the process so much fun! Her calm demeanor and laid-back attitude are the perfect combination for the stress of your wedding day. Throughout the whole day Mari kept me laughing and enjoying every second. The wedding party and family photos went so smooth we were ahead of schedule and had time to attend some of cocktail hour. If you are looking for the PERFECT photographer look no further. I cannot recommend Mari enough!!!!
