Highly recommended, Mariana is very personable. We did our engagement shoot with Mariana where we learned her style and how to prepare ourselves for our wedding day. It made us comfortable on our wedding day with her and her second photographer. Our photos are everything we hoped for capturing our story of our special wedding day. We also had them do a photobooth for us.

Mariana was amazing from our initial consultation to the moment we received our wedding album. We did our engagement shoot with her as well and she captured exactly what we were looking for for. I love how she asked a ton of questions to get to know us and what was important to us. Our wedding day was a whole another story-again, because of all the questions she asked, she knew exactly what we wanted. She took total creative control of the day so we could enjoy our special day and we couldn’t have been happier with the outcome. Our pictures are gorgeous and our album is perfect. Huge thanks to Mariana and her assistant for delivering everything she promised and more.

we absolutely knew we wanted to work with Mariana when she shot my husband's sister's wedding. but we were doubly impressed with her when she shot ours! her ideas for our portraits were absolutely incredible. I love that she was so creative and wonderful! if you are getting married in the Hudson valley, I would definitely recommend her for your photos!

When I was looking for photographers, I had no idea where to begin. I scoured the reviews for local photographers, visited a half dozen websites before I found Mariana, and immediately loved what I saw. When I reached out to her with my idea for a surprise engagement, she was eager to chat details, had many great ideas, and was so excited to be a part of it.

The proposal and engagement photos were beautiful, Mariana has such an eye for detail and really knows how to use the space and lighting to capture the most amazing images. However, it was more than that. Mariana was so great to work with as well. We could tell she really cares so much for her couples and goes above and beyond for them to deliver the best services possible. Once we received our photos from the engagement, absolutely everyone fell in love with them.

When my wife and I met with Mariana to discuss her services for the wedding we left both knowing immediately she was the one. We hired her immediately and honestly never looked back. During the planning and preparation, Mariana was so responsive, organized, and supportive. She was always available to answer any question and offer suggestions.

Our wedding was no different from the other experiences with her and, in fact, it really highlighted Mariana's ability to make the absolute best of anything thrown at her. This was such a relief because I was terrified due to a bit of rain the morning of our wedding. She put us at ease, made us laugh, and was awesome to work with. She is passionate and professional about what she does but still fun and lighthearted and it shows in the simply beautiful photos she delivers. Thank you so much, Mariana, for capturing our special day and it was wonderful working with you!

I honestly don’t even know where to begin with the review! Mariana greatly exceed beyhond all of our expectation. She took the most amazing pictures. Even in 100 plus degree weather she and her assistant were both positive, happy, easy going ,but direct when they had to be (group photos). During the group pictures she quickly got them done so we could get to the party part of the wedding.

She made us feel so comfortable and calm the whole time. Although I had a schedule we just rolled with the punches when something changed, but we didn’t forget anything. Mariana helped us not be so awkward like we are. Lol She asked us different questions like what would you add to your vows ( ex I promise not to shop at micheals craft store ever day ), how did you meet, or what do you love most about each other! These questions really helped us just be more ourselves and more relaxed around the camera!

Mariana was so sweet an thoughtful asking if we needed anything at all! We got married on the hottest day of the year and Mariana still worked her booty off to get the most amazing photos. She also held up a fan for us once we got back in side to help my husband and I to cool off. Needless to say she is a full service photographer!She was silly and fun the whole time and interacted with both of us so easily.

I love her for all these reason, but mostly because she is so real. We feel like we related so easily to her.

Mariana is a photographer whom I would recommend to anyone! She is hard working, caring, sweet person, who you can tell is a master of her craft in so many ways! The way she handles herself while she is shooting, and how she relates to her clients and how her finial products come out!

We are so happy we chose to work with Mariana! She did an amazing job and was such a joy to work with! From the moment I saw the pictures she had taken of another wedding at our venue (FEAST at Round Hill) I knew she was the best choice! Mariana was professional, but also made us feel so comfortable, making it feel like we’ve known her for a long time. She is very accommodating and really listens to what you want, and does whatever she can to make it happen. I was nervous the day of my wedding because I was running late and was worried we wouldn’t be able to get all the pictures I wanted done, but Mariana quickly put me at ease and made sure we got all the shots I wanted. Everything was perfect and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome of both our engagement pictures and our wedding pictures! Mariana was such a pleasure to work with and we would highly recommend her to anyone!

Mariana did a fantastic job, she was so flexible, even accompanying us to a local orchard to take pictures there!

Mariana was a dream to work with! She was extremely professional at all times, but at the same time she was able to make us feel comfortable, as if we had known her our entire lives. She was willing to do anything to get the perfect shot; she laid down in a meadow filled with bugs in order to get the most beautiful pictures of us! She was also extremely punctual to both our engagement shoot and wedding day, and we were always able to reach her by phone or email. I would highly recommend Mariana and her team to anyone!

How do I even begin to describe how incredible our wedding experience with Mariana was? My husband and I love photography so when it came to choosing someone to capture the most important day of our lives, we wanted to make sure we got it right. (And thanks to Mariana we absolutely did!)

We first met her after she was recommended to us by our venue (Arrow Park) and it only took a few minutes for us to realize how special she was! From her truly amazing portfolios, to her exceptional creativity and most importantly her willingness to take suggestions from her clients – we knew we would not have worry about anything on our wedding day.

One of the things I would HIGHLY recommend for all brides, is to schedule an engagement session. We were able to get to know Mariana better and if there were photos taken that did not exactly capture the style we were looking for, she wanted to know so she could tweak her approach and get us exactly what we wanted! Her hard work ethic and dedication to her clients is unmatched. You really feel that she wants to capture your beautiful moments just as much (if not more) than you do!

On our big day, I was afraid that we would have to limit the places we would be able to utilize on the property (since our venue had so many to choose from), but Mariana went above and beyond expectations! It may have taken a few golf cart rides and some running, but she made absolute sure that we took each and every picture that we wanted without taking us away from the party! She even stayed late to take pictures of us at our after party bonfire!

If you are looking for a photographer that can truly capture you at your best while still making you feel comfortable, Mariana is the only choice! She was a pleasure to work with and we would highly recommend her to anyone!

My wife and I were overwhelmed when trying to select a photographer for our wedding day. There are so many to choose from when searching the internet and you only have one chance to get it right. When we came upon Mariana's web page her photos immediately stood out from the crowd as being different. The photos were beautiful, they spoke to us and she captured the emotions of the couple and the wedding day. After a short Skype call we knew we had found our photographer!
We purchased a package that included an engagement photo session which was a great way to meet and get comfortable with each other which helped things run smoothly on our wedding day. We also got many beautiful photos which confirmed we made the right choice and got us excited for our wedding day. Our package also included a photo album for those of us "old school" folks that still like to hold pictures in our hands!
After our wedding we obsessively checked her web site and our email for our photos, we simply could not wait! When we got them we were blown away by how amazing they came out, so many great photos to cherish for the rest of our lives! It is a good thing Mariana is selecting photos for our album for us because there are too many amazing ones that we will never be able to choose on our own. We received many compliments from friends and family about the style and beauty of our photos.
Mariana is so talented, so great to work with, super flexible and really captured our wedding day in a way we will not soon forget. We would highly recommend her to anyone!
