About

Rooted in Tampa Bay, Florida, I photograph everything from small intimate destination weddings, to large traditional weddings. My style of photography is deeply rooted in photojournalism and the result is emotion-filled photographs using nothing but natural light and use of a strobe only when it's dark. I pride myself on being a full-time photographer who will do everything to capture the essence of my subjects, whether they be a family of 10 (fur-babies included), a couple's first steps walking down the aisle hand in hand, or a beautiful landscape. I live and breath photography and hope you enjoy taking a look at my work!

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or if you would like to hire me for a shoot or to photograph your event!

Everyone tells you how important your wedding photography is, but I never believed it until Maria! She shot both our engagement photos and the entire day of our wedding for a price that far exceeded our expectations, while also staying within our budget.
Her sense of humor, knowledge of her craft, and easy going attitude put everyone at ease so the pictures look as we felt, comfortable!
Her expertise of sunset photography is next to none. She was able to capture the gorgeous natural beauty of the scenery, while also focusing on the wedding party.
I cannot speak enough to how she helped coordinate and keep the flow of our schedule( which all brides can appreciate staying on schedule) on time to not make anyone feel rushed or pressured to get the shots in!
Within 2-3 weeks ALL of our photos were posted, with access to purchase on her website, and to share with our family and friends.
I never had to wait more than a day or two to hear back from her with questions, which again is always appreciated!
Maria made our special day even better, and will now be remembered forever with all of the amazing photography she blessed us with!

We absolutely adore Maria. Her work blew us away and she really made sure to take attention to the details we asked for. She not only made a great impression on us, but to our guests as well. We received so many complements from our family and friends about her. She is truly passionate about what she does and you can really see it in both her work, and how she works. Oh, not to mention her photography is absolutely blew us away. I cried my eyes out reliving my wedding through her photos and I am so happy we were able to have her do our wedding. Thanks Maria!!

The first things you'll notice about Maria is her beautiful spirit, and her enthusiasm for the art of photography.

We felt an immediate vibe that she'd be the prefect photographer for our wedding day. She spent the entire day taking great photos that captured moments we weren't even aware of. We were comfortable leaving it completely up to her to do her thing and she does an amazing job. I wanted some specific posed photos with family and friends and she was happy to do anything requested with a beautiful smile. Maria captured so many fantastic shots to preserve our perfect day.

Finding the right professionals to trust on such an important day is not an easy task. I loved her photos online but it wasn't until we met with her that I knew she would be the person to trust with capturing our day and exceeded our expectations.

I go by first impressions and knew Maria was the right choice and we couldn't have been happier with her friendliness, patience, and most importantly, talented photography.

I had the pleasure of working with Maria in October 2016. As a wedding coordinator, it is not uncommon to work with vendors that aren't easy going or true "team players", but Maria was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was flexible and easy to coordinate the timeline prior to the wedding, and worked amazingly well with myself and my assistants to make for a perfect evening for the newlyweds. I hope I get the pleasure of working with Maria again in the future!
