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!!

Total package
Maria is not only professional and talented but she is kind and generous with her time and skills. She was extremely easy to work with and every image she captured was more beautiful than the last. I would recommend hiring her to shoot any important event that you want to hold the memories of forever.

Perfectly captures us
It doesn’t get better than Maria. She has perfectly captured the most important moments of my life so far - from my engagement, to my wedding, and now my maternity photos. Before every shoot, she works with me to provide personalized recommendations for styling, location, and timing. She is an amazing photographer and over the years has become a close friend, which makes our photo shoots even more special. I look through each album regularly because it brings me back to those incredible moments and memories. I can’t wait to have her take more pictures of our family as it continues to grow. Maria is the absolutely BEST.
