Working with Maria was a once-in-a-lifetime experience! The images she creates are not only outstanding but genuinely investable! Timeless, elevated, and something you want to come back to again and again. Maria has a rare ability to make you feel completely at ease in front of the lens, and it shows. The photos feel effortless and authentic; you never worry about looking awkward, overly posed, or “not like yourself.”
Somehow, she captures your character, your excitement, and your essence in a way that feels deeply personal. These are, without question, some of the most flattering photographs I’ve ever had taken, and I say that as someone who is very critical.
Working with Maria is an experience in trust, artistry, and feeling truly seen. Her work has been featured in notable publications, yet she never once leads with her success. Her confidence is quiet, and it’s entirely backed by the quality of what she delivers.

Maria made us feel comfortable and we had fun during the process! We took pictures on the beach during a harsh time of day for light but she still knocked it out of the park! We love our photos and enjoyed having her at our engagement party for pictures too. She was a great addition to our party and now we have beautiful memories thanks to ForgetMeNot Photography!

Picking Maria was a great decision. Them team was really polite an on point. They worked fast and everyone had a great sense of humor, so we enjoyed it a lot. We also loved our pictures, they got so many in a short amount of time.

We chose Maria before we picked our venue. My fiancé and I agreed photography was the most important of all vendors. My maid of honor did a lot of research, narrowed down to 30 local photographers. We played a game with her research, she copied and pasted over 100 wedding photos from each of their sites and I was looking at hundreds of random wedding photos in a word document. Three photos really stood out to me. I knew whoever shot these images I would have to decide between to be our photographer. Turns out all three were Maria’s shots! I took my mom along the first time I met Maria. We were both in awe of her work and who she was as a person. When I saw her prints I secretly thought to myself, “Wow could I really have a beautiful image like this with my husband and I in it?” It seemed unimaginable! A lot of artists you meet may have amazing work, but lack of personality. Not only is her work stunning, she gives off the best vibes. When you meet people with a good heart who are loving life, everything around them is that much better. Why would you not want someone like that shooting your special day when you are surrounded by everyone you love? Her energy enhances everything and she will make you laugh so much! Maria will never get in the way, she is a photo-ninja. Turn your head, she’s on a roof for a better angle. There is nothing rude about her- even when you have a family member trying to get the best angles & cutting her off, Maria makes it work in a pleasant way. She will help you with questions beyond photos for your big day-she has a lot of experience and literally knows everything about weddings! She was pretty much our coordinator. Her team is filled with laughter, smiles and are good genuine people. Your husband will actually enjoy your photo time together! And to me, the best part of booking Maria is that you will have someone on your special day who truly sees and appreciates the beauty in everything- but the best part is that she captures it!

Maria captured every moment of our wedding day! And what is shocking: she did it in 4 hours!!! Let me start by telling you that we didn’t have a big budget for our wedding, but we really wanted a good photographer. When I found Maria, I loved her work right away, but was’t sure if we could afford her services. I emailed her just in case. And she was so nice! She said that she can make it work and promised to get everything in 4 hours. I really wanted to believe it and I’m so happy I did! She got everything: the first look, the pictures of my husband and I, us with our families, the ceremony, all the bridesmaids and groomsmen together and separately, me alone, my husband alone, lots of candid shots, all the decorations and she even captured some dancing! And it all turned out amazing!

We hired Maria for our wedding on lake Como in Italy. We really wanted her to be our photographer, and asked how much it will be to go there. And she traveled there for free, we only payed for the pictures! She was the best! We love all of our pictures! She came to the villa a day before to see all the good places to take pictures and knew everything on the day of our wedding. We had just a small ceremony and then dinner with closest family and friends. If you are planning a wedding abroad, Maria should be your photographer!

Maria is absolutely amazing! She photographed our wedding reception dinner on Coronado Island, CA. She was so sweet, professional, talented and detail oriented. She captured such special moments and I am forever grateful that we found her! She helped make the process of planning a destination so easy and stayed in total contact with us before and after our wedding to make sure everything for perfect and that we were 100% happy with our wedding photos. We HIGHLY recommend her and cannot wait to schedule with her again for our growing family photos!

Maria was awesome during my wedding day! She knew exactly what she was doing and made our picture taking experience very smooth! She is very energetic, friendly and has a great sense of humor! She was so easy to work with! My husband and I are beyond grateful and thankful for what she delivered. I would definitely recommend her for any kind of photo shoot you might need!
