I don’t even have the words for how grateful I am for Marina! About a month before our wedding, something happened with my original photographer and I had to scramble and luckily, Marina was available. I truly believe it was meant to be because she was everything I could have hoped for and more. From the start, Marina was so professional and detail-oriented. She gave me a list of items to have ready for detail shots (which was a lifesaver!), and throughout the day she made sure me and my husband looked our absolute best. She even had oil control papers on hand and bustled my dress flawlessly, above and beyond! Beyond her professionalism, Marina made us all feel so confident and comfortable in front of the camera. She had amazing ideas for photos, kept things running smoothly, and captured the sweetest moments. We also had a second photographer, Kendra, who was equally amazing and such a joy to have with us. I will be forever grateful for Marina and Kendra. If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly talented but also caring, organized, and such a calming presence, Marina is the one. Truly the best decision we made! Everything happens for a reason!!

Marina did an amazing job! She went above and beyond on our wedding day. Her professionalism, calming presence, and attention to detail did not go unnoticed. She captured our day so beautifully and we are so thankful to have these beautiful photos to look back on. Highly recommend!

Marina is the best and we are so in love with our wedding gallery! We were so happy to have her for our June 2024 wedding at Zorvino Vineyards! We found her through their preferred vendors list and it was a huge benefit because Marina is so knowledgeable about Zorvino and friendly with their staff. We are so in love with all of our photos. Looking through our album, Marina captured our day perfectly as we remembered it. She was quick and efficient, but took time to show us sneak peeks on her camera throughout the day and checked in multiple times to ask if there were any other photos we wanted to take that we hadn’t yet. She captured the perfect combo of portrait/posed photos and candids. We had our engagement shoot with Marina as well, and she gave us a few pointers that really elevated our photos (we’re not people who are usually comfortable in front of the camera!).

I am so happy we picked Marina and am forever thankful for the photographs she produced. Marina photographed our July 2023 wedding and welcome BBQ on the coast of Southern Maine during what has been historically one of the rainiest seasons yet. Despite our wedding day having torrential downpours and having to change the ceremony location the day of (and our whole photography timeline) our photographs came out AMAZING. Marina was quick to adjust to the new plan (which included only indoor photos for most of the day). The quality of the photos is outstanding. I absolutely LOVE them! Marina brings an elegant, classic, romantic, and soft approach to her photographs. She takes a mixture of classic poised photos as well as some candid shots. Marina’s personality is calming and professional. I would describe Marina’s photographic style as elegant and refined.

I knew what I was looking for – which is key to hiring the right photographer. For me – the biggest deciding factor was how the photographer edits in the post process stage. I wanted someone that does their own editing (not AI), uses just the right amount of grain to the photos (so I can blow them up and frame them) and someone that truly captures the day with a timeless approach (something that stands the test of time and isn’t following a trend). Marina met all these expectations flawlessly. I chose a plethora of pink, blue, peach, and lilac pastels for my bridal colors so I knew I needed to find someone that shoots photos with a true to life color (IE- no tinted hues). Marina captured my florals and bridal party perfectly. She edited certain pictures with a little more brightness. I love how those photos almost look ethereal. The pictures truly look like they belong in a magazine. When the rain finally stopped, Marina was quick to come delicately interrupt Tony and I to make sure that we were able to capture some outdoor shots by the ocean. These shots are some of our favorites.

Marina was responsive, tactful with asking if certain family members are OK in the same pictures, and an overall gentle and calming presence I was so happy to have by my side on my wedding day. When our Welcome BBQ got a bit out of hand – she was willing to go with the flow and got some great shots of our guests. Marina delivered all photos edited in both web format and large file format within a super-fast turnaround time! I would highly recommend going with Marina. Choose her for the full day – you won’t regret those early morning pictures with your bridesmaids. If you can, I recommend hiring her for the rehearsal dinner. It’s a great way to capture extended family portraits the day before so you can have a bit more freedom in your timeline the day of.

We loved working with Marina! From the moment I spoke with her on the phone about choosing a photographer I knew she was the one. She is personable and professional, and made us feel so comfortable while we had photos done! She captured every moment of our day at Zorvino Vineyards and was so much fun to work with. Her photos came back within DAYS which was amazing- looking back at our day while it was fresh in our minds was extremely special. We can't thank her enough for capturing our amazing wedding day!

Marina is an amazing photographer. Not only is she wonderfully kind, she captures the most beautiful pictures. Our wedding photos were absolutely perfect, and it was all thanks to Marina!

From the very first time we spoke with Marina, we knew she was our photographer. My husband loved her artistic eye for beautiful shots, while I loved her editing and style. During our first call, she won me over by being so knowledgeable about wedding photography, a true expert at the top of her industry.

She was very flexible when we wanted to travel to RI for our engagement photos (a place that was special to us) and we were so excited about that. She is willing to go above and beyond to make sure you are represented on your special day.

I cannot say enough about Marina except I hope she is available on your day! Look no further for a wonderful photographer!

Marina's work is absolutely stunning. She photographed my sister's wedding in 2015 and it was an easy decision to hire her for my wedding this year. She is a true professional and her talent really shines through her pictures. Marina was always responsive and extremely flexible when we had to reschedule our wedding three times due to covid! She made being photographed all day easy, comfortable and fun! It's easy to tell she has a true passion for photography and you won't be disappointed by choosing Marina!

My husband and I wanted to write a review for Marina because she truly did an amazing job and we loved working with her!! I had booked her through a friend who’s wedding pictures I loved. We first met Marina when we were doing our engagement photos. She knew the perfect spots and poses. The shoot did not take a long time and the photos came out amazing!! She managed to get the perfect shots and they came out better than we could of imagined. When planning the wedding she was always very easy to work with and responsive to emails and calls. She helped us plan out where to take our photos, which made me feel much more relaxed on the wedding day. She was very professional and got all of the shots that we asked for. She made sure that everyone was where they were suppose to be and was very prompt with everything. We are so happy with our engagement and wedding photos and I would highly recommend her to other people!

From our engagement shoot to our wedding day, Marina far beyond exceeded our expectations!!! For our engagement shoot, we were nervous as we weren't sure how to pose as we wanted our photos to look natural and she helped us to immediately relax and feel comfortable. She guided us through poses so that we knew exactly what to do and our photos came out amazing!!!! On our wedding day we were already comfortable with Marina and knew we were in amazing hands! She went above and beyond and kept us (along with our wedding party) on track! I received many compliments on how amazing Marina was from our bridal party. Our wedding photos took our breath away....we are so thankful that we had Marina and her team to capture our day. If you are looking for a photographer for any reason I could not recommend her more!

Marina is amazing! Her work is incredible and we were wowed by the photographs from our day. She was incredibly responsive and had our photographs to us much sooner than we expected. Marina took such incredible care of us on our big day. From keeping our timeline on schedule, to keeping pushy relatives in line, to taking my veil off at the end of the night, she ensured we never had to worry. We loved working with her throughout the entire process and would highly recommend her to anyone!
