About

Sacramento, Lake Tahoe and San Francisco Wedding Photographer Mariea Rummel is an award winning wedding photographer serving California and destination locations.

It’s the expression on his face when he first sees his bride, the moments leading up to the first kiss, sweet tears of joy, loud laughter, the way you both gaze at one another thinking to yourselves, “You are the luckiest person in the world!” I am the artistic storyteller behind the lens capturing your day’s true emotion. I’ll even step in to make you laugh; relieving a case of the jitters or to fix your hair. But most of the time you’ll find me nearby capturing the essences of your fairytale moment by moment… timeless photograph by photograph.

Best Value

We were so overwhelmed with photographer vendors and their pricing. What stood out about Mariea is that her packages offered more than any other vendor at almost the same rate. The fact that we got a second shooter AND a photo album made for us was a no brainer when we signed with her. She was so easy to work with on our wedding day. She is super professional and knows exactly what she is doing, especially at Saureel Vineyards! We cannot recommend her enough.

The wedding photographer that every couple deserves.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Maria. She did an exceptional job and displayed true professionalism throughout the entire process. From our engagement session up in Tahoe, to our wedding day in Elk Grove, she was extremely friendly, easy to work with, and made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. She even put up with the unfriendly September heat on the day of our wedding without a single complaint haha. The quality of her photos also exceeded all of our expectations—every moment was captured beautifully and with so much care. We are beyond thrilled with the results and highly recommend her or anyone on her team to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and personable photographer. Thank you Maria, for perfectly preserving these special memories for us. We will be forever grateful for the time and energy you invested into helping to make our wedding day the best day ever, and for capturing our favorite moments so perfectly so we can revisit them for years to come. Thank you again - Dustin and Janelle.

Absolutely wonderful!

Mariea was absolutely wonderful to work with - extremely professional and easy going. She was flexible and creative on our unexpectedly rainy wedding day, and ensured all our photos were beautiful! We highly recommend, and would use her all over again.
She also recognizes that most of us are not used to getting our photos taken professionally, and gives such helpful direction in how to stand and pose!

We are extremely thrilled and happy with the many many photos we have of our special day!

Above and Beyond our Expectations!

Our wedding day wouldn't have been the same without Mariea and Kurt there to capture the moments throughout the day. The two of them were so sweet, professional, and made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. The photos (all 1,000 of them) turned out beautiful. Their attention to the details, their enthusiasm, and positivity made them a joy to be around. We truly couldn't have picked a better duo. The turnaround time was impeccable. They are extremely timely and prompt, and it was greatly appreciated, especially around the holidays! Highly recommend and plan to work with them on future events and milestones. Thank you thank you thank you!

One word: Perfect

Mariea is one of the most professional and organized photographers I have had the pleasure of working with. Along with the professionalism and organization comes genuine care for your event and how it is being run. We consistently felt taken care of and she is extremely proactive. She and her photographers are very adaptable and have bubbly personalities that make things fun and entertaining. We felt extremely comfortable and taken care of at all times. Photographs are beyond what we expected. We will be recommending her business indefinitely to all of our friends and family. If I could give 10 stars, I would.
