Exceeded every expectation!

One of the most lucky and best decisions Raam and I made around our wedding was hiring Maria as our photographer! Not only did she go out of her way to make us and our wedding party/family feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera, she captured so many fun, intimate, and incredible moments. She is so organized, responsive to what you need/want and has a beautiful eye for photography. We could not be more pleased and would recommend any couple hire her. Thank you, Maria! You have such a gift!

Great experience!

We had wedding in the City Hall and hired Maria for 2 hours. She really made a most of it. We don't usually enjoy being photographed, but Maria was really nice and great to work with. She was also very quick with editing and sending the final photos. And photos surpased all our expectations! We would reccomend Maria to everyone a we would hire her again for sure!

Wedding and Family pictures

We love Maria and her amazing eye! She listened to what we wanted and so many of our guest complimented her work. She took our wedding pictures and since we knew our kids are so important to us, she made sure we got plenty of family pictures. We got our pictures back as promised and we absolutely plan on using her every year for our family pictures 😁 I also love how upfront about prices she was and how communicative she was :) I would highly recommend her!

Amazing eye for photos!!!

Maria did a terrific job with our wedding photos. I rarely ever like any pictures of myself but I was in love with every photo Maria took. She has a great eye for the perfect moments and settings, she also listens to her clients on what their preferences are and makes magic happen. We highly recommend !!!!

Wedding Photographer

Next to the venue, choice of photographer was the most carefully thought-over decision of the day. We could not have been happier with Maria’s work. Even before picking her, I went through her online portfolio and could not find a single photo in there that I didn’t like. Maria is an incredible artist, she has a great eye for color, shapes, posing and details, and you will get gorgeous photos looking like a magazine spread. She is also dedicated - she spent time meeting with us leading up to the day, attended our rehearsal to scope out the venue, and worked tirelessly during the event to capture each and every moment (with her second shooter). Here is one last anecdote I can offer to illustrate how committed she is to capturing everything. At the end of the night, we had closed the dance floor and already paid the final balance to Maria. I had forgotten to tell her that I wanted one picture on the set of rustic stairs, so, not wanting to make her unpack her camera, I simply asked a friend to snap a quick phone picture for me. Maria saw this, and to my surprise, pulled her camera back out of the bag to grab this shot (which of course turned out beautifully). I highly, highly recommend her to any prospective couple, just go through her portfolio and know that the quality of her work speaks for itself!

Excellent!

Hashem and I would truly like to thank Maria for making our day so special by capturing every moment. Maria was recommended by my wedding makeup artist Tania Salazar. Maria was very sweet and nice when we first met. The package included an engagement photo shoot, and she gave me a list of places she recommended for the engagement shoot. On the day of the engagement shoot, she took her time directing us and taking us to different places. Maria was very patient with us, making a very good first impression of her work. I asked her if she could please send us the photos quick since we were short in time to finish our wedding website and we wanted to use some of the engagement pictures, and she delivered them in less than 2 weeks. The day of the wedding she arrived at the location earlier than what we agreed on and right away she started working. She was very patient and caring thru the entire day. We are so happy we decided to have Maria capture our wedding as the photos turned out amazing. We’re in love with the photos that Maria took of our wedding. The photos are absolutely beautiful! We love every single one of them. Thank you so much for capturing the day so perfectly!

Best experience!

Maria was our wedding photographer and I can’t say enough good things about her. She was so professional: always answering emails promptly, scouting out the location for our engagement shoot, coming to the wedding rehearsal to make sure she was prepared for the wedding, showing up to the wedding early and staying late. She is also so kind and really made everyone feel at ease. I actually really don’t enjoy having my picture taken, but she made it fun and gave lots of great advice! On top of all that, the pictures turned out amazing :) We were thrilled when we received both our engagement and wedding pictures. She is so talented! She got a great variety of pictures at the wedding as well, pictures of the venue, us as a couple, pictures of our bridal party, in addition to more candid shots of our guests and lots of dancing pictures. Thank you for everything, Maria! Working with you was one of our favorite parts of getting married!

Amazing Experience

We hired Maria for our engagement photos - needless to say, we were very impressed. She made everything very fun and comfortable for two people who does not know how to pose what so ever. She even incorporated our dog into the photo which was a bonus :)

Although I wasn't able to book Maria for my wedding day, I still see myself coming back for other photo sessions in the future.
