Fantastic photographer

Mara was such a fantastic photographer. She was very detailed, showed up early, and was sure to get alllll the shots, all the angles, and if she wasn't happy with a shot, she would retake it over again until she was content with her work! She was so sweet, so helpful, and just overall wonderful. We love all of our wedding photos so much. I would choose her again and again!

The best!!!

Mara was lovely to work with from start to finish. We were thrilled when we got our photos back and saw so many candid moments that were beautifully captured. She perfectly balanced candid shots with formal portraits. Mara is kind, approachable, and professional. She gave easy to follow direction to us and our family that resulted in great shots.
