Book Maria if you want to cherish your wedding photos!

Maria is the absolute best!! From our engagement shoot to our wedding she was incredibly responsive, helpful, kind and fun to work with! Not to mention she is extremely talented! She was so helpful on our wedding day; helping to keep things running smoothly, supporting us and bringing her calm presence to a busy day. We are in love with our photos and will truly cherish them forever. Looking forward to having her capture more of life’s sweetest moments ahead someday!

Proposal & Proposal Party Photos - Maria is the best!

Maria did our proposal photos and they were amazing. She was so flexible, fun, kind, and comfortable to be around. She knew how excited we are to get them back, that she turned them around and sent them to us so quickly. We had a party with family after the engagement, and she walked back to the house (and shot great pictures on the way) with us and shot at the celebration too. She is very responsive and made things so easy. Book her! You won't regret it.

10/10 Would Recommend!

We are spreadsheet people, and we definitely had a spreadsheet going when it came to selecting a wedding photographer. Not only is it a significant cost, but you don't get a re-do, so you want someone you can trust. We didn't want overly-posed pictures, and we didn't want to feel like we were performing for a camera - we just wanted someone to help capture the memories of the day in a really authentic way. And that’s exactly what we got with Maria. We loved her documentary style and the warm feel of her photographs. Both the engagement shoot and the wedding album turned out so, so beautifully. On top of that, she was super flexible when our dates changed and we moved venues, even though that involved more travel for her. Our photographs came back pretty quickly, and downloading the files was super easy. Thank you so much, Maria!!
