We cannot say enough good things about Maria and her photos!! She is soooo easy to work with, extremely responsive and very talented! She is so personable and truly went above and beyond to capture our wedding day! Our pictures are absolutely stunning! We cannot thank her enough for providing us with the prettiest photos of our day we will never forget!

Maria is the BEST photographer hands down! Not only is she super sweet and genuine, but she is beyond talented! My husband does not like his picture to be taken, and with wedding pictures there are obviously a ton of pictures that are taken throughout the day/night. Maria did such a great job directing him/us for pictures, was super patient with us and our wedding party/families, and made us feel comfortable the whole time. We could not believe how efficient she was throughout the day, stuck to our timeline so well, and captured the most beautiful pictures I could have asked for. After working with Maria for the past two years from engagement pictures, our elopement pictures (when we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID), and finally our wedding, I am happy to say I also gained a friend. She also delivered our pictures to us so fast, especially given the amount of weddings she had this year due to all the postponements. I would HIGHLY recommend using Maria!

Maria was amazing and gave us perfect memories of our wedding day! We have received so many compliments on our wedding photos!

Maria was professional, very communicative, and super easy to work with. From keeping us on timeline and being a boss with bystanders while we were doing our wedding party photos out in the city of Chicago, to getting us through a chaotic shot list of 35+ family photos in under 30 minutes, we do not have enough good things to say about our experience with Maria.

To anyone looking for an exceptional photographer to capture the most beautiful photos, we recommend Maria!

From the moment we got engaged and chose Maria as our photographer, she was an absolute dream to work with for engagement photos, communicating leading up to the wedding and on our actual wedding day. Maria is the most positive, kind, and truly talented person we could have chosen for our photographer! Countless guests commented on how sweet and professional she was. Maria was hands down one of the best parts of our wedding day!

If you are located in the Chicago or NYC metro areas, you will be doing yourself a disservice if you do not hire Maria Harte. She is the absolute best. She is a true professional, she has an incredibly kind and positive demeanor, she will work with your requests in any way she can, and she will deliver phenomenal photographs at an extremely reasonable price. Hiring her was one of the best decisions we made during the process.

Maria is such a talented photographer! We could not have asked for a better experience from our first meeting up until receiving our wedding day gallery. Maria is kind, thoughtful, and so personable. She made not only us feel comfortable but we received so many compliments from our bridal party and guests on how wonderful she was! She truly goes above and beyond. Her ability to capture the most raw, intimate, and important moments is truly outstanding. We were worried about getting the photos we wanted outside due to rain and a 97 degree day but she was able to work her magic and capture the most beautiful photos. You can’t go wrong with choosing Maria, we are so thankful we did!

Maria Harte is worth every penny. If you want a personable photographer, who listens to your vision and desires, she is a MUST hire. She has beautiful lighting that creates the element of timeless elegance. She has talents in detailed photos while capturing the emotions of the people on your special day. She may be small in stature, but she is mighty in heart. She is professional. She takes the time needed to listen and to get to know you as a couple. I feel that even after our special day, she will still somehow be there to support not only our marriage, but our journey moving forward.

Maria was great! From our engagement session to wedding day, she was very responsive, helpful, friendly and organized. It was comforting as Maria really invested time in our wedding events and went over the top to get to know us. We had weather issues and it took 5 times to get our engagement photos completed but she was super supportive through it all! Even on our wedding day, the weather was not ideal but she quickly came up with plan B and plan C. Not only was the finished product amazing, but her presence on our special day was so welcomed by everyone. She captured all the genuine moments, tears, laughter, nerves and pure happiness that I remember about our day. Maria is so kind, caring and professional - I look forward to staying connected and hopefully taking more photos soon!

Maria is absolutely amazing. From our engagement session to wedding day, having her as a photographer was one of the biggest blessings we encountered for our wedding. From our first meeting, she really took the time to get to know me and my husband as a couple and what we were looking for in our wedding photos. She works wonders with natural light, and captures special, candid moments with not only her professionalism but genuine care towards her couples. When it started raining during our engagement session, she immediately offered to drive into the city the following week for shots that I had wanted but wasn’t able to take due to the weather. Our wedding was at a hotel in Chicago in March, and she was able to take wonderful indoor first look and portraits for us combined with some beautiful shots outside along Chicago landmarks. We received so many compliments on our wedding photos from friends and family, and cannot be happier with our decision to work with Maria. She is the most talented, kindest individual, and she brought so much positive energy on our special day!

Words cannot express how happy I am to have worked with Maria! I first fell in love with her portfolio, then after our first meeting prior to booking I knew she was the photographer for me and my vision. Not only do we share the same name, we also are almost the same person!

Maria is extremely dedicated to her clients. She is flexible, responsive, and understanding. Maria takes the time to listen to your needs and wants. You become more than just a ‘client’ - you become a friend.

She captures the beauty of each moment and shares in the happiness of your day with you. Our pictures are absolutely stunning! Thank you for providing us with cherished images to enjoy for the rest of our lives!
