Working with Marina was super easy, and photography for our small wedding went seamlessly - she was on time and communicative in general. I’m super happy to recommend Marina to others and very thankful we have beautiful photos to remember our wedding my day. She must have some magic to get a shy and “bad in photos” bride to have photographed amazing!

Finding the perfect photographer was one of our top priorities when we were planning our wedding, I could not be more thrilled with Marina, not just as our photographer, but also as an amazing person!

From start to finish, she was incredible! She captured both our engagement shoot and wedding and I was floored by the results every single time. Our wedding was no easy task: a bridal party of over 20 and a large guest count could've been overwhelming, but Marina handled everything like an absolute pro. She was calm, composed, and extremely organized ensuring everything ran seamlessly.

Throughout the entire process, she was exceptionally responsive and reliable, a vendor I never had to worry about. I trusted her completely and she delivered flawlessly every time. Aside from being incredible easy to work with, the quality of her photos are amazing!! I love her style, she has a true talent. I highly recommend working with Marina, she's the best!

I found Marina on Instagram in early 2023 looking to do an engagement photoshoot at the DC cherry blossoms. She was responsive, knowledgeable about posing and direction, and my partner and I loved how the photos turned out. When we started planning for our small wedding in Aug 2024, we knew we wanted Marina to return! We scheduled a quick call to go over the timeline and she gave valuable advice on having a list of all the combination of family and bridal party photos. Her pricing was incredibly fair, offering exceptional value for the high quality of service provided. On the day of, she arrived on-time, started taking photos of the invitations/details/dresses right away, and provided expert guidance and time-management throughout the entire day for our family and bridal party. Further more, we got some edited sneak peaks after just 24 hours of the wedding! Marina's dedication in making sure the perfect shots are captured and listening to our vision is unmatched, and we cannot recommend her enough for couples and families alike in the DMV area.

Marina is by far a top notch photographer. She offers a rare combination of accommodating to clients, reliable, efficient, direction, environment and pose choices, and of course, beautiful photography. Marina was about to direct a large wedding party flawlessly. She also did our engagement and bridal photos as well! All photos were delivered within the time frame. She provided us a few previews as well. (Within a week after the wedding!) Marina is a no-brainer when it comes to selecting a photographer.

(Wedding Date: 1/25/2020)
Working with Marina was truly a pleasure and a blessing. From the onset, she was incredibly responsive and flexible to our needs (as we had booked her quite a while in advance). She graciously met us at the venue multiple times to ensure we were on the same page with our visions. Marina was genuinely eager to get to know us and our families and it truly showed in her day-of involvement as well as in her work. On our wedding day, I can honestly say that I am not sure we would have been able to pull it off if it weren't for Marina. She was incredibly organized and knew everything she wanted to do to keep us (mostly) on track with our timeline; I knew that I did not have to worry about forgetting something because she was so on top of it. Our final pictures are an absolute dream; the quality and professionalism of the moments captured are priceless. Marina's passion for her work was transparent throughout her time with us and we are incredibly grateful to have worked with her. Thank you so much for being there for us and capturing our moments!

Couldn’t have asked for a better experience before, during and after my wedding. Marina met with my husband and I prior to the wedding to get a feel for our style and personalities. On the day of the wedding she captured so many amazing moments from getting ready, first look, ceremony and reception. She has a very friendly personality which was calming on such an emotional day. She sent us our photos on a usb and had an online gallery available to share with family. The pictures all turned out great- now the hard part is deciding which ones to print and frame! Hope to use Marina in the future to capture other big life events. Highly recommend!

She was awesome very sweet and her work is fantastic!

Marina photographed our wedding on September 3rd and did an amazing job! We found Marina while looking through pictures of other weddings at our venue, Woodlawn Manor. I was immediately drawn to her beautiful, natural light photos and was thrilled that she was available for our wedding day.

Marina was nothing but kind and supportive throughout the entire process from our very first email. We were impressed with her professionalism but also with her genuine interest in getting to know us as a couple. Everything we have received from Marina has been beautifully presented. We were so surprised and pleased after signing our contract to receive a sweet thank you package with chocolate and tips for what to wear to our engagement photo shoot.

Regarding the engagement shoot, she had great ideas and was extremely flexible with rescheduling when we were plagued with bad weather. She made sure that we were prepared in the weeks leading up to our wedding with a timeline and list of pictures that we wanted.

On the day of, she was perfect. She captured everything we wanted and kept us to our timeline so that we were able to enjoy our special day. She was always there if I needed a picture, and yet she blended right in and didn't feel like the paparazzi. When we looked through our pictures, my sister commented that it seemed like there were two photographers with all of the different angles she was able to capture. We don't know how she did it! The pictures turned out beautifully. Marina did a wonderful job posing us in a way that felt natural and easy. She also captured many wonderful candid shots of the event. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. Thanks again, Marina!

Marina is SO talented and so sweet! She is an absolute pleasure to work with and takes beautiful pictures! She recently did engagement photos for us and will be doing our wedding photography as well. I cannot wait!
