Best Photographer Ever!

As I've mentioned to literally anyone who will listen to me, Mariana is an insanely talented photographer and an absolute gem of a human. From our very first phone call, it felt like we just clicked, and every conversation after that put me at such ease about the whole wedding planning process. Before we'd even signed a contract, Mariana had devoted time to researching our wedding day, letting me know what time sunset would begin and when I should start hair and makeup.

Mariana knows exactly what to do to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera, making you more "you"—not what a bride and groom "should" look like. Her pictures are dreamy and candid, while still including the classic shots your parents will want to hang up. She's punctual, creative, and has the best attention to detail, something that comes in handy during the planning process and is evident in all the photos you get. (Speaking of which, she was sending us sneak peeks less than 24 hours after the wedding!)

When Mariana says her couple matter to her, she really means it. I feel like I walked away from the wedding day with a new friend—plus hundreds of photos that I'll treasure forever.

Incredible photographer!

Mariana was such an amazing photographer for our wedding! She is incredibly warm, kind, and made us feel so comfortable taking photos on our wedding day. She brought a very welcoming energy while also keeping everyone on time and being very professional. Her work is beautiful, and we are so grateful to have her photos and all of the memories of the day! We highly recommend her!

The best of the best!

If you are looking for a photographer to capture your memories perfectly, look no further! I cannot say enough good things about Mariana. From our first initial phone call after getting engaged I instantly knew she was going to be the one. From engagement photos to the big day- she was our biggest hype woman and knew exactly how to make us feel comfortable, relaxed, and like ourselves. We received our engagement + wedding day sneak peaks right away (& they were perfect), and the rest of the photos came shortly after. You can tell Mariana is experienced and amazing at what she does. She knows how to guide the day and keep to a timeline while still getting amazing shots and keeping a calm environment. She is a great communicator- She would answer an email, phone call, or a text at any moment during the entire wedding planning process. She truly gives her ALL (& then some!) to her clients. She exceeded our expectations and we cannot thank her enough for everything she has done. She made our special day that much more special. I would recommend her a million times over and over again!!

The elopement photographer of our dreams

We absolutely loved working with Mariana for our wedding! She was incredibly friendly and made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. It felt like we had known her forever! On top of her professionalism and talent, she went above and beyond by driving me (the bride) to the venue in her own car when my transportation fell through. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer to capture our special day, and we hope we get to work with her again in the future. Highly recommend!

Best Photographer EVER!

My husband and I couldn't recommend Mariana enough. She was by far the best and most memorable vendor from our wedding day. From the very beginning, she was truly interested in us as a couple and made us feel special, comfortable, and heard. She cared about us and our vision, she was an excellent communicator, and she made our wedding day so much fun. Our guests and wedding party still talk about how much they loved her. And not to mention the photos were BEAUTIFUL! She was amazing at sending previews the day after the wedding so we could share which was so unexpected but appreciated. I can't wait to use her again in the future!!

Best in the Business!

Mariana is by far the best photographer we could have imagined for our wedding night. She is (obviously) amazingly talented behind a camera, but she became a staple of our wedding night. She captured the best moments and the guests raved about her presence. I could not recommend a better photographer and person to capture the big day.

I was also very impressed with her communication throughout the entire process. From the planning and prep, during, and after the wedding while she edited the pictures. All around she’s the best in the business!

Angel Photographer!!

Mariana, is the best! I cannot picture this day and how it turned out without her being a part of it. She is so talented, she was creative and fun with the whole process too and it all turned out so beautifully. Not only did she capture our wedding so stunningly, (the pictures speak for themselves), her personality was everything we needed and more! She made me feel so comfortable in front of a camera, she was always 2 steps ahead and she made the whole day go so seamlessly. We also used her to photograph the night before and it was a different style of photography than the wedding and we loved it! We cannot wait to use her again for next life event ;)

Amazingly talented kind upbeat photographer!

Stunning. Editorial. Candids. Details.
Mariana was the perfect choice for our wedding and I’m so glad we had the fortune of her being our photographer!! Her packages were laid out in an easy to understand format and she went above and beyond with everything and did so with a positive, joyful disposition. Everyone loved working with her and everyone loved the end results as well! Her photographs are stunning. My mom printed out every single photo (1000+!). She also notices the children and impressively catches those fleeting adorable moments. She was very organized and was always asking us what we wanted and never told us we “should” do something a certain way. She made everything easy and not stressful at all which is exactly the kind of person you want on your wedding day! She also did bridal portraits at her home studio which was the perfect day for my hair and makeup trial. I wouldn’t change anything. The only hard thing is picking our favorite photos, but you can always just print them all like we did. 😆

A Dream Wedding Captured

Our wedding day was nothing short of magical, and a huge part of that magic was thanks to our incredible wedding photographer Mariana! From the moment we met her, we knew we had found someone truly special.

Not only did she capture the most breathtakingly beautiful images of our special day, but her positivity, fun-loving spirit, and bubbly personality were like a ray of sunshine that kept our stress at bay. Even in the scorching heat, she effortlessly wrangled our boisterous bridal party with a smile, making it all seem like a breeze.

Her enthusiasm was infectious, and it radiated through every shot she took. She made us feel completely at ease, allowing us to be ourselves and truly enjoy every moment. She has a remarkable talent for turning candid moments into lasting memories, and we couldn't be happier with the results.

If you're looking for a wedding photographer who not only captures the essence of your day but also adds joy and positivity to every moment, look no further. We are forever grateful for her incredible work and her wonderful spirit. She truly made our wedding day even more special, and we can't recommend her enough!

Absolutely Amazing

Incredibly delinquent in this review, but saw it was undone and needed to give Mariana her credit.

Incredibly professional, incredible photographic vision (if that’s a thing), but Marianna’s pictures from our engagement shoot and wedding are my go to if I ever want to show how good I can look in a photo.

It’s been a few years, but thank you Mariana!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
