About

We are Maria and Scott, inclusive, film and digital destination wedding photographers, with an easygoing, refined, photojournalistic approach.

Most of our work takes place all over New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, but we've been to several states and as far as Scotland to photograph our clients (yes that was amazing).

If you are not into stiff photos, and want to actually enjoy your wedding, we are glad you are here.
We know weddings are not photoshoots. As your photographers, we will help you enjoy as much of your wedding as possible, try to make sure you get to eat, and then receive beautiful photos to help you relieve the day whenever you hold them.

Best Vendor Ever

Maria and Scott were an absolute dream team for our wedding photography! From the moment we saw our engagement shoot photos, I knew we were in for something extraordinary on our wedding day. The attention to detail and their ability to capture the true joy of our special day were beyond phenomenal.

I had initial nerves about wedding photography because, let's face it, these are the memories that last a lifetime. Maria and Scott quickly put those fears to rest with their exceptional talent. Their ability to capture not only the big moments but also the subtle, intimate details made our wedding album a true work of art. Having both Maria and Scott was a blessing; they caught so many moments that we missed, allowing us to relive our day in the most beautiful way possible.

Maria stood out as our best vendor throughout the entire wedding planning process. Always the first to communicate, she worked with us every step of the way, ensuring that our vision was realized. I wholeheartedly recommend Maria to any couple seeking perfection in capturing their wedding day. Thank you, Maria and Scott, for gifting us with memories that will last a lifetime. You are truly the best in the business!

Amazing Photography Experience

Maria, and her husband, were the perfect photographers for my vow renewal with my husband. The entire process, from beginning to end, was seamless and easy.

When I was looking at photographers to book for our event, I looked at many possibilities and websites, but Maria's page was the only one that featured a same-sex couple, which instantly made me feel comfortable. Then after speaking to her, we meshed well and I knew she would be able to capture the essence of the day.

During the event itself, Maria and her husband were very comforting and kind. They were very professional but also flexible and able to get the job done while allowing us and our guests to have fun during the process. They were there to guide the photography of the day without adding pressure.

To top it off, the photos all came out amazing and were so beautiful!!

My husband and I loved working with Maria Silva-Goyo Photography and would recommend them to anyone in need of a kind, flexible yet very professional photographer.

Absolutely incredible!! Look no further!

Choosing Maria to photograph our wedding was one of the best choices we made. We know what it’s like to search through a ton of photographers and reviews, so if you’re reading this, we highly recommend her work! We had a micro wedding and having her and Scott there during our day felt like an extension of our group. For such an intimate event, it felt so natural to have them there. They’re extremely personable and made everyone feel comfortable and relaxed. It was so fun to work with them. The photography was focused on us having the day and timeline we wanted. Maria was communicative throughout our planning process and so helpful in thinking about our timeline, shot list, etc. From the first moment we met to our wedding day, we were so excited to work together. Our gallery is absolutely beautiful and captures the joy and essence of the day. Thank you for being the best!

The Best!!!

Maria and Scott are absolutely everything you could want from your wedding photographer!! Aside from their photos turning out gorgeous, it is a pleasure working with them throughout the whole process. When we were looking for a photographer, we wanted a balance of being present and enjoying our day while still feeling like all the important moments were captured, and that’s exactly what we got! It’s so nice looking back at our photos and feeling like they really captured it all, formal and candid. From first contact, to wedding day, to receiving our photos, each step was stress free. It really feels like we got everything we could have wanted working with them, and we’re so happy we had them to capture our day!!

our best decision!

Words can't even describe how happy we are that we booked MariaSGPhotography- Maria and Scott made us feel so at ease and captured our day perfectly! Weddings are inevitably overwhelming and having Maria and Scott by our side throughout the experience was immensely comforting and made for the best photos. My husband and I are very goofy and playful; we were nervous to be taking dramatic, serious, posed photos- but with Maria we didn't have to!! We were completely ourselves and our beautiful photos turned out looking just like us and the energy we bring. We couldn't be more grateful for these captured memories!! Thank you thank you thank you.

Stunning wedding photos, relaxed process!

We can't speak highly enough of Maria and Scott. We hired them after seeing them photograph a friend's wedding. They are highly professional and skilled, but make the whole process relaxing and fun. In addition to making our posed photos comfortable and natural, they caught so many incredible candid shots throughout the day of us, our families, and our friends. Thank you for letting our personalities shine through!!

Amazing!

We were fortunate enough to have Maria and Scott capture our engagement photos and wedding photos. I truly wouldn’t want to use anyone else. From our first call, we immediately hit it off. They are such genuinely good people and my husband and I felt amazing from the start with them. The photos of both our engagement and our wedding turned out spectacular! We couldn’t have asked for a better set of people to do our photos. I can’t wait to continue to use them in the future for any further milestones in our lives together.

Timeless Moments Captured - Extremely Positive Experience

My wife and I connected with Maria Silva-Goyo Photography through a mutual friend whose wedding photos were captured by Maria and Scott. We were looking for a photographer for our engagement party at a beautiful destination along the Hudson. When we first met with them, Maria and Scott were professional and personable. They clearly had lots of experience, which made the process so easy for us. It was completely stress free and we felt lucky to find someone that we could trust to capture these important moments with family and friends.

Fast forward to the event, the helped us stay organized and on time based on the list of photo moments that we provided them. Amongst the chaos of the event, it was clear that they were on a mission to do their job well. They captured not only amazing moments during the event, but they also pulled us aside for more intimate pictures of the two of us as a couple (my favorite ones.) They even brought a drone which was so cool and led to some amazing pictures!!!

Following the event, we were excited to receive the photos in a timely manner. They turned out better than we could have hoped.

I cannot recommend Maria Silva-Goyo Photography enough. When you want to capture your special moments and cherish the photos for years to come, you can trust Maria and Scott to deliver!

Look no further if you want the BEST!

I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed working with Maria & Scott. We were fortunate to stumble upon Maria's website during our search process, and once we viewed her online portfolio, it was a no-brainer.

Maria truly makes moments come to life in her work. She was easy to communicate with, both via email and through video call. She asked precise questions about our vision for the big day and worked with us to get the most out of our budget.

We loved her easy-going nature and ability to communicate with our families in Spanish as well. If you think you aren't photogenic, Maria will prove otherwise. When we were unsure of how to engage with each other in front of the camera, Maria made it feel like we were working with friends. While she suggested certain looks or poses, she encouraged us to be ourselves, which ultimately shined in the photos.

If you want to work with someone who has a keen eye for wedding photography, look no further. You will not be let down. Thank you Maria for blessing our special day with your talents.
