Marella,
We all love the pictures you took. They are beautiful and the lighting was awesome. We will cherish them forever, you were so sweet to work with us and obviously you are awesome at what you do. Thank you so much for making our vacation special, and we have had tons of compliments on our pictures.
Sincerely, Judy

My husband & I booked Marella for her photography services in North Shore, Oahu HI for a 2015 October wedding. She was very patient and flexible with us, as we changed the contracted time a few times based on our reception event change. She came down to our wedding location and was punctual. She arrived with an upbeat and fun attitude. Marella was wonderful with coming up with unique photo ideas and involved our friends who joined us for our wedding ceremony. When we received the photos we fell in love with them. She captured the genuine emotions of love and fun in our photos. We appreciate her dedication and passion in her personality and photography. Thank you Marella

If you want high quality, absolutely amazing photography that captures all the emotion of your wedding day… choose Marella!

We hired Marella and one of her partner photographers, Michelle, for 2 hours right before, during and after our wedding ceremony. She shot an awesome assortment of in situ photos as well as organised a whole host of posed shots.

We also hired her for a 2 hour photo safari which gave us unbelievable photos of great sights including China Wall, Makapu'u, and a beach park.

We couldn't be happier with the breadth and quality of photos taken by Marella and Michelle. (Not to mention we're two dudes, and she never batted an eye, in fact she would often push for nuzzling and kisses). Outstanding.

Just 1 word... AMAZING!!
I absolutely loved working with Marella for our wedding. We had a destination wedding in Kualoa Ranch, it was really hard to plan a wedding from Seattle, but even from our 1st contact, Marella was flexible and easy to work with! She is always on time, responsible, and professional over the email communication. On our wedding day, she worked tirelessly to capture all picture every moments. And the important part, her price is really reasonable :) You can just get a quote and compare it, it's worth for unlimited beautiful pictures!!
I would strongly recommend Marella Photography to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. Thank you very much for your great work, Marella!

It was a pleasure working with Marella as my wedding photographer. She was great at responding to my emails and offered to meet in person to discuss my event. She offered to meet a little earlier than the ceremony start time in order to take advantage of the daylight near the venue. She was very friendly and great to work with. My wedding party was getting a bit restless after all of the photos but she was very patient with us and very professional. She also had an assistant photographer there also. I was so glad to have Marella at our wedding to capture our special day.

It was a pleasure to deal with Marella right from the start. She was prompt at responding to my emails, and was a great at helping us decide on a beach. Her pricing was very reasonable compared to other photographers I looked into and her photography was just as good if not better. All you have to do is have a look at her website to know she loves what she does. It shows in her work. The day of the wedding came and she was everything we had hoped for. She was very friendly and knew what she was doing. It was a great day! We just received the photos and to say we are pleased is an understatement. The quality and creativeness of the photos is incredible. We are so happy that we went with Marella. Do not hesitate to hire Marella. You will not be disappointed and will have many wonderful photos of a very special day!

Marella came highly recommended from friends of mine who had used her as a wedding photographer and I was 100% onboard to work with her from the get go!

I loved the way that she composed our shots - she was always looking around the environment for diverse and interesting ways to capture us. We got married on Waimanalo beach on New Year's Eve, so there was obviously a TON of beautiful light and atmosphere for her to play with.

I loved the way that she took the time to capture not only the physical details of the wedding, but quiet moments between guests - some of my FAVORITE pictures from the wedding are pictures of friends and family that she was able to capture when I was off absorbed in the rest of the affair!

She not only works magic with color and lighting in the tropical setting, but she's a sweetheart to boot... She totally fit in with the crowd and did a fantastic job of being a part of the wedding... Meaning that the photos did not feel like they were taken by an 'outsider' - there was a very natural, comfortabe feel and the finished products are as stunning and professional as can be...

Use her! You won't regret it...

Choosing a wedding photographer is not easy, but once we went with Marella photography everything went smoothly and far surpassed our expectations. Marella followed me (the bride) throughout the day, starting with pre-wedding photos which I am so thankful for because these are memories I will cherish forever. I can't imagine having felt more comfortable in front of any other wedding photographer. I wanted a photographer who had an eye for capturing beauty in every moment. Marella was it! Whether you know exactly what you want or just want someone to take charge and make it happen, Marella does a superb job. I couldn't have asked for more from our experience. In fact, she recently did our first baby pictures!

We were delighted not only with Marella's demeanour when we worked with her, she was just so sweet throughout the day, but she listened and executed my requests of her, whilst also providing her professional and creative eye on the day, using quality equipment.
The end result was timely (as promised) photos that have great composition and many viewers have commented on how original they throught her photos were. Some candid and some posed.
I personally don't think that her website does her justice, she delivered many photos that were much better than what she has displayed.
I have already recommend Marella to someone else I know needing a photographer in Hawaii.

Marella has a unique eye that captures beautifully intimate moments. I highly recommend her to anyone for not only wedding photos, but family photos, pregnancy shots, birthdays, and any other special event. She is extremely talented and I couldn't have asked for better photos from our wedding!
