About

Destin Wedding Photography, also serving Santa Rosa Beach wedding photography. Also available for worldwide travel.

I'm that girl. You know, the one who loves the light that dances, lives to laugh with joy, and documenting with her camera the vibrance and bliss of your love as it sparkles.

My eyes always seek out for the the lavish light, stunning beauty, subtle nuances and heartwarming emotions that encompass your story through each frame.

Creating irresistible heirlooms and building lasting relationships brings a song to my heart and passion to my art….it's Pure Love Documented.

For the last 14 years I have made my home in the Florida Panhandle and been a Destin photographer. I use the experience of my previous life as a full-time newspaper photojournalist and Pulitzer nominee to document each wedding day. Although I love Destin, Alys Beach, Seaside, Rosemary Beach and all of our South Walton communities, I have an irristiable love of travel and adventure and love destination weddings too.

When you are ready for your story to be told in all of it's captivating beauty, call me.

I work with many photographers and I have to say I'd recommend Mari - in a heartbeat - to any bride seeking an outstanding top notch photographer. Not only is her work phenomenal but she is extremely professional and sharp. Mari does not miss a beat.
