About

Hey, I’m Maria! I am a New York based destination elopement and wedding photographer. (duh)

I am a wife, dog mom, art book hoarder, and aspiring world travel. I’m super proud to be a dual citizen with the US and Italy and holder of a Fine arts degree in Photography from SUNY Purchase.

I have always had a strong connection to nature, enjoying hikes and camping from a young age which was very different from anyone else in my family who grew up in NYC. Growing up so close to New York City has given me lots of excitement of exploring big cities. To make sense of all of this, there is noth­ing more exciting to me than creating art while capturing a love story. Hiking up a mountain in Hawaii, navigating Tokyo’s metros, or finding a secluded beach in Sicily, I’m down for whatever adventure you throw at me!

Winter Photoshoot

My partner and I are not yet engaged but we decided together with Maria that a practice photoshoot would be fun! On a very (I mean, very) cold winter morning we met up with Maria at Central Park and immediately it felt like reconnecting with an old friend. We've never had a professional photoshoot before and she made us feel super comfortable and at ease. The photos turned out IMMACULATE and we love them! We'd recommend Maria to anyone :)

Amazing and affordable

Maria was an absolute joy to work with through the wedding process. Her packages were affordable and offered so much. We had an engagement session, guestbook, wedding album, 8.5 hours of photography and 35mm film. She helped us with our wedding timeline and held an umbrella over me while she was completely soaked from the rain. Maria is lovely, personable and down to earth. Her editing style is perfect for the moody, dramatic brides like myself. If you book her, you will not be disappointed.

Amazing experience - working with Maria was wonderful

Maria is absolutely wonderful to work with. When my husband and I were choosing a photographer for our engagement and wedding, it was important to us to find a professional who was highly skilled in their field but also someone who could make us feel comfortable and in the moment. My husband and I are not 100% comfortable in front of the camera, especially when our emotions are on display. Maria is so friendly and engaging, she really tries to connect with the couples she works with and is very accommodating in order to create a beautiful experience. We just got married on 11/11/23 and it was a stunning day. Maria kept everything running smoothly on our wedding day, even when we got a bit off schedule when it took me longer than expected to put on my wedding dress. She even helped me with my dress and later my bustle! Maria is so calm and doesn't bat an eye in the face of pressure. It helped me be a bit more calm and I struggle with strong anxiety on a daily basis. She made sure to capture all of the photos with friends and family that we wanted.

Receiving the sneak peak of our photos was a wonderful moment - we can't wait to see all the photos and re-live this day again and again. We are so grateful to Maria for capturing the special moments of our wedding day. I would recommend Maria to anyone! You won't be disappointed.
