Real Life Fairy Godmother

I got in contact with Maria in an interesting way. I was looking to have my wedding in Disney Springs but knew nothing about Disney's photography rules outside of their own services. I had asked a support question in a Disney support chat and ended up getting kicked out of it! Maria ended up reaching out to me about my question and provided so much insight from her own personal experience as well as insight based on connections she had with photographers in the area. Before she even mentioned she was a photographer herself, she was such a huge help because I was incredibly lost. I strongly believe finding her was fate because not only was her photography style perfect for a Disney wedding, but her organization, knowledge and overall welcome personality created so much more than beautiful images to last a life time. Maria and Matt also helped us create amazing memories and take so much stress off of my shoulders. Maria is very hands on with her photography and provides guidance to positions and actions to create in the photos which was a huge help because I would not have known what to do! My whole family is so grateful and I really could not have imagined this journey leading up to the Wedding day without Maria being a part of it!

What a fun and wonderful photographer!

Maria was absolutely amazing every step of the way! From our initial consult to follow-up questions, she was super responsive and worked with us very well to help us both with our engagement session and our big day! I couldn't have asked for better photos for either day and will absolutely use her for any future events!

Worth more than 5 stars!

Maria is so organized, bubbly, and so kind. She is a wonderful photographer for any occasion. I have loved working with her on weddings and I hope to work with her in the future. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer. She is worth more than 5 stars in my book!

Beautiful photos from an amazing photographer!

I cannot recommend Maria enough! As the owner of my wedding planning business, it is crucial to work with an experienced photographer who not only takes beautiful photos, but who understands how a wedding day flows. We have seen it where the photographer does not know how to keep the day moving and it's not fun for anyone.

Working with Maria was WONDERFUL! She was great with communication prior to the wedding, had a photography timeline I could build the entire wedding day timeline around, and she was punctual and efficient with her time - not to mention, the photos were absolutely STUNNING! I knew from looking through her portfolio prior to the wedding that the photos were going to be beautiful, but what I didn't know was how much I was going to love working with her. Immediately after working with Maria, I added her to our Preferred Vendors List.

If you are a couple on the hunt for a wedding photographer who is down-to-earth, captures beautiful photos, and will ensure your wedding day flows beautifully without any issues, look no further. Maria is your girl! Maria, I can't wait to work with you again in the future!! Creating Joyful Moments Event Planning & Design loves you!! XOXO, Chloe

We had such an amazing experience with the MMP team!

We highly recommend Maria and her team for anyone looking for a wedding photographer! We could not be happier with her work for our wedding and engagement photos. In every aspect, she went above and beyond. Some examples of this are the wonderful guides she sends out, kindly helping with posing to make everyone look their best, having someone there to take behind the scenes videos which she shared on social media, and more!

She is also incredibly professional and really added to our day. She captured every moment of our wedding beautifully, and we had multiple family members and friends comment on her beautiful work as well as her kindness and professionalism on our wedding day! When we received our “sneak peek” wedding photos back, we were so happy and truly loved every single photo. She was extremely prompt with her delivery of our full wedding album, and the pictures were all beautiful. Booking Maria as our photographer was one of our best decisions we made for our wedding, so don’t hesitate to book Maria for your wedding photography!

Excellent job - loved maria

Maria did such an excellent job helping my husband and I prepare for our wedding day. From the detail work, to her taking on as a coordinator role to help us with what we wanted, she always was there by text, email or phone call. One concern I had was our reception and venue did not have very much light. I didn’t know how pictures would turn out. Maria said it wouldn’t be a problem and reassured me. Looking at the pictures from our venue and reception, I couldn’t even tell that the room was dark; she did such a great job on lighting. I LOVED having her as our photographer and I can’t wait for our children to one day be photographed by her as well. She was open to our ideas for photos and we even got our dog in photographs as well.

Best Wedding Photographer

This is way overdue but Maria was fantastic from start to finish for our wedding and engagement photos. My husband isn’t big on photos and was really nervous about the posing. She told him what to do every step of the way. We got so many photos from our engagement photos to our wedding photos my computer could barely handle them! I love that we got all the images in color and in black and white. Color photos are my favorite but black and white is great for prints in the home. Maria has a wonderful personality and is one of the kindest people I met during my wedding journey. Her style is impeccable and I can’t imagine my wedding photos any other way. I recommend Maria to every person getting married. She’s a steal for her pricing with what quality and quantity of work you receive.

Simply amazing!

I can’t write enough good things about Maria! She was extremely professional, prepared, and even accommodating when we had to postpone our 2020 wedding due to COVID. Our wedding pictures are beautiful and we already have them all around our house. Can’t recommend her enough!

An easy yes

I fell in love with Maria’s photo style and after one phone call knew she was the right hire. Throughout the planning process Maria was always responsive, helpful and never made us feel like any of our questions were a burden. Maria and her second shooter were both so friendly which really did make taking so many pictures so comfortable. Our pictures turned out amazing and we could not be happier we with our choice of photographer.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
