Worth Every Penny!!

Connie is everything you could ask for in a wedding photographer and more!

From the moment we started working with her, she was professional, organized, personable, and an absolute joy to be around! Over the course of two days, she flawlessly photographed all four of our wedding events, capturing every important moment with incredible attention to detail.

What impressed us most was her ability to navigate and photograph our two very large immigrant families with ease. Managing large family groups can be challenging on its own, but Connie handled everything seamlessly while making everyone feel comfortable and included. She made a genuine effort to capture photos of all of our guests and paid special attention to our VIPs (our grandparents, parents, siblings, and bridal party) ensuring that the people who meant the most to us were beautifully documented throughout the weekend.

As an interracial couple (Vietnamese and Nigerian), we also appreciated her ability to photograph a wide range of skin tones beautifully. Every single person looked amazing in our photos, and the images feel natural, vibrant, and true to life!

Beyond her talent, Connie brought such a positive energy to our wedding weekend! She was friendly, calm, and confident, which helped us feel relaxed and fully present during each event. There was not a single time I had to worry about what our photography timeline or list was because Connie was so prepared!

Looking back, choosing Connie was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. The memories she captured are priceless, and the quality of her work speaks for itself! She is worth every penny, and we would recommend her without hesitation to any couple looking for an exceptional, amazing photographer!!

Great photos and experience

Connie was the best! So easy to work with and made us feel comfortable right away. She led us through our engagement shoot - we were a bit nervous and they turned out amazing! She was a pleasure to have around on our wedding day and we are so excited to see the final product.

Amazing!!!

Where to begin - Connie and her team are truly the best in the game! They went above and beyond for us, and we felt completely comfortable and confident from start to finish thanks to Connie and her team. Connie is, without a doubt, one of the sweetest and most genuine people you will ever meet. She is incredibly professional, organized, and so easy to work with.

She was communicative and supportive throughout the entire process. From receiving the initial quote to the finalization of the gallery, she never stopped answering our questions and always offered helpful recommendations to make everything run smoothly. The photos turned out absolutely amazing, better than I could have ever imagined! I would gladly work with Connie again and highly recommend her services to anyone looking for an exceptional experience and stunning results.

Framed Our Day Beautifully

Working with Connie Marina Photography was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! She photographed both our engagement session and our wedding at Artifact Events, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Connie is incredibly energetic, positive, and makes you feel instantly at ease in front of the camera. Her photos are not only stunning, but they truly capture the emotion and joy of the moment. She was organized, communicative, and such a calming, fun presence on our big day. We are so thankful for her and can’t recommend her enough!

The best experience

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Connie for both our wedding celebration and a portrait session with my husband before the party, and I truly cannot say enough good things about her. From our very first interaction, she was incredibly professional, kind, and organized. She made the entire experience feel seamless and joyful.

Not only is she beyond talented, but she is also one of the sweetest people we’ve met. She made us feel so comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera, which really came through in the photos. Every image captured the emotion, love, and little details so beautifully—we are absolutely in love with the results!

Working with her was one of the best decisions we made during the wedding planning process. If you’re looking for someone who is both gifted and a joy to be around, I wholeheartedly recommend Connie. We are so grateful for the memories she helped preserve!

Engagement Shoot!

We worked with Connie for our engagement shoot. She was incredible to work with and captured the moment I got down on one knee beautifully! Something I really appreciated is just how effortlessly she would get the shots we wanted. It never felt like there was a: stop, pose, wait loop of taking photos. She was also very quick to get us sneak peak shots which was amazing. I would highly recommend!

Amazing working with her! Highly recommended!

If you dont want to worry about your photography logistics, Connie is your person. Having her in the wedding team was the best decision, she takes the lead in so much of the planning and guidance that she removes a load from your plate! I loved that she respected the contract and timelines for everything so much! Expectations were beyond exceeded because she made us feel super comfortable with the photos, poses, and everything you can see natural portraits on the event day. I adored the fact that I didn’t have to chase her for anything, and she was on top of everything. Highly recommended and I will definitely be hiring her again in future events!!

Amazing photographer for multi-day wedding!

We worked with Connie and a number of associate photographers for our multi-event Indian wedding and everyone was amazing to work with. Connie and her team were very detail oriented and made sure to capture all the photos we wanted leading up to the wedding day. They did a wonderful job coordinating with our planners and making sure both my husband and I were at ease when taking our portraits as well as group photos.

One thing I especially admired was the detailed timeline created for the wedding day. Without the coordination of her team, our day wouldn't have been the same! Thank you so much Connie!

Connie is the best!

It was such a pleasure to work with Connie for our engagement shoot, rehearsal dinner, and wedding day. She made both of us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and kept the mood very fun and light. Connie also understood our vision for the wedding and captured it perfectly. We spent many days researching for the best photographer and Connie was it! Her professionalism, diligence, and positive energy truly sets her apart from the rest.

We were so lucky to have her as our photographer for these special moments. We can't wait for the next opportunity to book her again! Thank you, Connie!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I loved working with Connie! Prior to the wedding she was very responsive to my emails and was easy to work with. I had some suggestions to change the photography timeline around and she was very receptive and open to feedback based on my knowledge of the venue. She also made a point to visit the venue in advance to scope it out which I was impressed by. On the wedding day Connie was calm and relaxed while still staying on top of the photography schedule. She handled the few hiccups we had (not her fault) with grace and professionalism. We just received the photos back and WOW - they are stunning. Honestly some of the best I have seen. Hire Connie for your event and you won't be disappointed!!
