About

On WeddingWire since 2019

Hi!! Welcome!!

My name is Mariana, and I'm the owner and lead photographer of Sharing Life Photography.

3 things you should know about me: My ability to perfectly understand your dreams and desires, what you expect from me, and anticipate your needs; my creativity to turn every unique and unrepeatable moment of the present into art and document it; my passion for nature, photography, and people united under one concept: CONNECTION.

These skills have allowed me to specialize in creating experiences that go beyond simply capturing specific moments. I focus on couples seeking something different, unique, and intimate, providing them with an environment where they feel completely understood and secure. This atmosphere resonates with their identity, thoughts, and emotions. The success of this approach is due to the trust placed by couples worldwide. Perfectly understanding their dreams and desires means they don't have to worry about anything other than making the most of one of the most significant moments in their lives.

If you're someone who believes that less is more, we are on the same page. I believe that beauty lies in chaos, and if you think that the present moment is all that matters, and letting go is the key, then we should definitely get to know each other! In the unique experience I have for you, the special guest is Mother Nature herself, who will guide us, and we can play around her.

Best Photography and Videography in Costa Rica

We will never be able to thank Mariana and her wife enough for the way they captured our wedding on 5/4/24. We reached out to Mariana via email when starting to plan our wedding, and within days we were on a zoom call to meet each other. We chose Mariana because of her LGBT experience, as we did not want to have the awkward poses that commonly occur in LGBT weddings; rather, we wanted a more candid approach to photos for a more natural feel to the photos. It took us no time at all to realize just how special our wedding day was going to be captured, even though we had over a year to go from time of booking.
Mariana, her wife, and the affiliated videographers were exceptionally selfless when it came to finding ways to capture the perfect shot at our wedding. From standing in tall windows many stories up to walking into the ocean fully clothed, this team made every attempt possible to give us a lifetime of memories. Within 3 days, we already had our first look photos, with the remaining being delivered shortly after. We cannot help but cry every time we watch videos created from our wedding, because they are just that stunningly beautiful. You would be foolish to not make Mariana your photographer. Her kindness, laughter, and passion make for the most incredible content, and all your wedding guests will fall in love with her, too.

Stop thinking, just book her!

I can’t recommend Mariana enough! From the very beginning, she was incredibly helpful and made the entire planning process feel so much easier. Having a destination wedding is tough for a type A personality, like myself but once I spoke with Mariana via Email & zoom.. any hesitation went right out the window. Her professionalism and friendly demeanor instantly put us at ease, allowing us to truly enjoy the process of planning and even more so on our special day.! The photos turned out absolutely stunning, capturing every moment perfectly- candid and posed! She has an amazing talent for making the ordinary look extraordinary. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and delivers beautiful results, she’s the one to choose! Cheers!
