We cannot say enough wonderful things about Viva La Marx Photography. Marixa did an amazing job photographing our engagement as well as our wedding. She is very passionate about her work and the incredible quality of her photos speaks volumes about her skill and attention to detail. My husband and I could not be happier with our pictures. We would absolutely recommend Marixa for any photography needs you have! Thank you for capturing such beautiful memories that we will treasure forever! Selina & James

First, for the sake of transparency, I did not end up using Viva La Marx, BUT I still wanted to review Marixa on her professionalism, willingness to help, and her portfolio is beautiful. She was one of the first photographers that I reached out to and she really helped to fan the engagement-excitement flame! Her response time to all my emails was very quick and she seemed excited, herself! She wanted to meet in person to showcase her work, which I found to be very ambitious and energetic of her. She clearly loves her business and puts a lot of effort into it. Unfortunately, I felt like I wouldn't utilize her full talents with my pay scale, and thus it was not meant to be. And that's in no way a reflection of her prices, rather than an insight into my inability to break our budget. We ended up going with a friend of the family (which is what our budget allocated for, realistically) so it wasn't that we decided AGAINST her, more than just going a different route. I believe anybody lucky enough to work with Marixa for their wedding will be in great hands and enjoy her personality. Just based of a few hours of discussing her work and some email conversations, she seems like a sweetheart. Best of luck to you, and also Viva La Marx!

Marixa was recommended to me by my wedding planner and she was a fantastic choice. She kept things natural with good use of light and was able to incorporate the surrounding trees/plants into the shots like a wanted. Her photos have a bright, clean feel and everything looks very organic. This is exactly what I wanted. Additionally, she was affordable and easy to work with. My husband and I were so pleased to work with her for our wedding of about 90 people.

Excelentes fotografías, muy precisas en momentos muy espontáneos, me gustaría que se tomara la libertad de tomar una mayor cantidad de fotografías. Pero el trabajo es muy bueno.

Marixa was one of the photographers that was actually in our budget and we were surprised by looking at her portfolio because she had such quality work. After receiving the photos from our wedding day, we were more satisfied than we could have even imagined! Having pictures to capture this day forever was one of my TOP priorities while wedding planning. These memories will last with us forever and Marixa definitely exceeded our expectations! Not only did she get all of the important "typical" photos that cannot be missed, she also caught so many moments we didn't even think about wanting to capture. Everyone in my family bragged about how they saw her running around and getting everything during the reception afterward! She was constantly moving and taking pictures of the big moments but my husband and I barely even realized she was there. She caught every moment without us even knowing it and got absolutely hilarious moments of everyone dancing and having a good time. I think that was one of my favorite parts: as fast as the day goes, it is hard to notice if everyone else is enjoying themselves, but thanks to all the photos Marixa got, we have plenty of proof :)

If anyone is looking for an AMAZING photographer that I believe has quality of work of the vendors at least twice her price range, Viva La Marx Photography is for you! You will absolutely not regret it! :)

My wedding day photos came out beautifully. She definitely took stress away, allowed us to enjoy our day, and managed to get both formal and candid photos. I would recommend for any type of occasion.

Me and my husband were highly satisfied on the quality and overall out come of our wedding and engagement photos. Viva La Marx Photography captured stunning candid photos that we will cherish a lifetime. She was able to capture and replicate ideas that we have discussed in previous meetings, allowing us to have fun while shooting with her. My husband and I are both shy people and she was able to make us feel comfortable, and just laugh, which we loved. I will most definitely hire her again for future milestones .

Looking for wedding or event decor or know someone else that is? David and I are selling a bunch of the decor from our wedding and would love for it to go to someone we know! Would be happy to bring any of the items to the Houston or Austin area the next time we are in town if someone there is interested in buying.

Marixa shot my wedding in a predominatly photojournalistic style, capturing more candids than poses. I prefer this approach and definitely recommend her if you tend to get stiff or self-conscious in front of a camera. Your wedding day will fly before your eyes, you can trust Marixa to catch all the little moments. I know she has shot multiple weddings after mine so I know her time management and on-site problem-solving skills are sharp. Believe me, you will need some sort of direction the day of your wedding and if you don't have a wedding planner or a maid of honor your photographer usually tends to keep things on schedule. You have invested a lot of time in your wedding, and I fully recommend and trust that Marixa will not only be worth your investment but preserve it for you and your future generations.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Marixa is wonderful! She has been helping me with weddings for a couple of years now. Most importantly, I can trust her. Second, her images that she captures are amazing. She has an eye and goes that extra step to go above and beyond for each wedding she is apart of. She really pays attention to detail and finds the humanity in her subjects to bring forth in her images. I have seen her portraits as well and they are simply lovely. She really knows how to bring out the interaction between loved ones. She is a joy to work with and you'll probably walk away gaining a friend as well. You will not be disappointed if you hire Viva La Marx Photography!

Marixa is amazing at what she does. She has worked as a valued second shooter for us for several years now. She cares about her clients and her work. She's a try artist and it shows through her work. She's always looking for new inspiration and scoping locations to find the perfect place for photos shoots. I can't say enough good things about Marixa and any couple would be lucky to work with her!

I have had the pleasure of working several weddings and events with Marixa at Viva La Marx as my second camera and I as hers. She is my go to when I need a second camera because I can trust her completely with capturing a wedding in a well, organized and timely manner all while putting her own artistic style in to the images she produces. She is where I can't be, giving the bride and groom different angles, moments and style of their wedding day. We work and coordinate well with each other and share the same interest in making sure the bride and groom get the best experience from their photographers before, during and after their wedding day. :)
