This husband and wife team know a little something about love and special moments. Five years strong into their marriage, they have combined their creative talents to make your wedding story part of their own. Simplifying the process for securing quality photo and video with a united vision for your wedding experience, Mari Harsan Studios represents the best of both worlds under one contract. Friendly, supportive, responsive… Mari and George look forward to meeting you and making your wedding epic! Striving for ever greater heights, Mari Harsan Studios utilizes the latest technology and techniques to enhance the art of wedding portraiture and video. Every effort is made to bring out the optimal vision of your wedding while retaining the candid, unexpected moments that you’ll always cherish.
“Working on weddings has brought George and I closer together. It reminds us of when we were married and how that felt. As a couple, we understand what the bride and groom are going through emotionally and we’re sensitive to that. For us, capturing weddings is personal. We really feel it… and we always want to be at our best on a wedding shoot.” — Mari Harsan
Taking the lead, Mari handles principle photography, while George directs the videography with a talented crew behind them. Their shared creative vision represents the benchmarks of precision and quality, while tapping into the imagination and spirit of what a wedding can be visually. The results speak for themselves with image upon image, frame upon frame, of the magical and extraordinary. The perfect marriage of photo and video.
“There is a timelessness and elegance to wedding photography, which now extends to wedding videography. The movement of the camera, the music, the editing, the tempo, the color, all create a feeling. It’s a shame to call it a ‘video,’ as the look and feel is more like a movie. I see my work as weddings films.” — George Bucur
Like an artist and his canvas, George (a seasoned editor) works all the angles to make his wedding ‘films’ truly epic. From an aerial drone that slowly sweeps wide over grand vistas to tight close ups and low angles that reveal subtle details and textures, his “moving picture” is like a visual score that hits all the high notes. The perfect compliment to Mari’s emotive photographs. Creating a storybook fairy tale in one click, Mari, with unbridled enthusiasm, works tirelessly to get “the” shot. The dress, the shoes, the ring… all the little details come to life in her images. But most importantly, above all else, is the couple.
“I love detail shots. When all the elements come together, it’s like magic. Clean, vivid, wonderful! The light and ambiance perfectly balanced… But the shots that really make me feel good are when I see the love between the couple. When I see them enjoying this moment together and I have captured that. It’s that interaction that I crave to see. And the moment I get it, everything else falls away.” — Mari Harsan

Professional Network & Endorsements
A beautiful fall wedding at the Historic Rockland was filmed by RIMAS FILMS. And here I had a great opportunity to work with a professional and talented Mari, Mari Harsan Studios. Mari was a great addition to the team of vendors. And she went out of her way to make sure the bride is happy with every shot as well as including all the guests and bridal party. Mari worked the venue great and had amazing ideas for a beautiful newlywed photoshoot! Mari is easy to work with, she has brilliant sense between professionalism and friendliness. I enjoyed working with Mari Harsan Studios and I hope we can work together again.
I love working with Mari and her husband. I've been privileged to work with them over the years. They even provided one of the videos of my work for Wedding Wire.
