Maria is the best!
Maria from Maria Burton Photography was an absolute dream to work with from the very beginning. She expertly guided us through the wedding planning process, even going the extra mile to help us map out our wedding day timeline. Drawing on her wealth of experience and keen understanding of weddings, Maria effortlessly captured all the important moments on one of the most significant days of our lives.
With a sizable wedding party of 24 individuals, Maria showcased her exceptional ability to manage and organize our lively group while still bringing out the best in each of us for stunning group shots. Her talent for wrangling our rowdy bunch with grace and finesse truly impressed us.
Beyond her impeccable organizational skills, Maria's photography speaks volumes. Not only does she excel at creating beautifully composed, posed shots, but she also has a remarkable eye for candid moments that hold deep meaning for us. The way she effortlessly transitioned between directing us and capturing those genuine, heartfelt moments left us in awe.
Throughout the entire process, Maria's professionalism and skill shone through, ensuring that our wedding day photography was nothing short of spectacular. We are so grateful for her dedication and the timeless memories she has immortalized for us. Maria truly exceeded our expectations, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to any couple looking to capture their special day with grace and artistry. -

Leah D. Sent on 07/10/2024The most amazing photographer we could've asked for!
We could not have been happier to have Maria as our photographer for our wedding on Block Island in June 2024! From the very first phone call, Maria was someone who was extremely easy to talk to and completely understood our vision. She is incredibly warm, thoughtful, professional and communicative, and not only was it a joy spending our wedding day with her, but the photos were exactly what we had hoped for! We could not recommend her enough, and look forward to working with her again in the future! -

We had the best experience with Maria, she paid great attention to detail and helped us execute our vision for photos perfectly. She was very flexible and had a positive attitude throughout the long hot day. We have started getting our pictures back and couldn't be happier with them. I absolutely recommend working with Maria, she enhanced our wedding and captured everything we could've asked for. -

Quite simply Maria is the BEST OF THE BEST! Maria photographed our June wedding in Newport, RI, and was an absolute joy to work with. From our first interaction over the phone, to our incredibly fun and laidback engagement session at the Cliff Walk, to our wedding day at The Bohlin in Newport - Maria was the loveliest person to be around and her photos beautifully captured the joy of the day. Not only was she extremely organized leading up to the wedding and a calming, capable presence during the day itself - she took the time to learn our family member's names and kept our entire (large) wedding party AHEAD of schedule! She personally knows the Newport area so well so she was able to recommend the perfect locations for our wedding portraits (avoiding the crowded touristy areas). Only 3 days after our wedding she sent us the most BEAUTIFUL sneak peek shots before we left for our honeymoon. Maria's photos truly brought us to tears and beautifully captured every little detail of the happiest day of our lives. -

Maria was hired to photograph my Rhode Island wedding. I had full trust and confidence in Maria from the start and she fully delivered on all my expectations. We woke up the morning after our wedding and Maria had already delivered 20+ pictures to our e-mail and within 2 weeks after the wedding we had 175+ photos of our day! Maria was timely, organized and got all the photos requested. Maria was also helpful during the wedding planning process providing recommendations of other vendors who helped suit the vibe I was looking for hair/make up, DJ, etc! Maria was great to work with and I would book her future occessions! -

Maria was amazing!!!! Throughout the entire process she was incredibly warm, professional, attentive, and a joy to work with. From the first engagement photo session when we met her, it felt like we had already known her longer than we had! Maria has a very relaxed and calming presence that was the perfect demeanor to have by my side on the wedding day which can be so frenzied and stressful. She truly understood the vibe we were going for, and took beautiful photos that read natural, candid, and full of light and captured our day in a truly beautiful and natural way. Cannot recommend Maria highly enough!!! -

Maria is SIMPLY THE BEST! I cannot recommend her enough. I came across Maria Burton through my photographer search after looking for days and days for the right fit and speaking with many photographers. I immediately fell in love with her natural light and beachy style on Instagram. Even though I couldn’t meet Maria in person, through our phone conversation I enjoyed her calm demeanor and the amazing fact that she is BOTH creative and HYPER organized. I was incredibly impressed by my initial phone call with her and this was just the beginning of realizing how amazing she was! She even helped me find other vendors including my month of planner and florist… she is super knowledgeable about other vendors and everyone she recommended were also incredible to work with!
Leading up to the wedding, because we live far away we couldn’t meet Maria until a few months before our wedding for our engagement photoshoot. When scheduling, we were dealing with tricky weather. Maria has plans A, B, C and D for all weather conditions and was incredible at communicating via email/text leading up to the session. When I ultimately made the decision to postpone, Maria offered to meet in person to get to know each other and go through our schedule and key pictures… she went above and beyond to make this meeting happen and was so comforting for my Type A self!
In terms of organization, Maria put together a precise schedule with our planner and had all of our “must have” shots down. Throughout the wedding weekend Maria kept us on time (but in a calming/not demanding way). She managed to fit in our entire shot list of the “must haves” and even found a way to get our “nice to have” shots… which is SUPER impressive given we had a wedding party of 20+ people and 20+ family members. We got to enjoy every minute of our wedding because we were on time, including attending our cocktail hour. Just like our engagement session, she had plans A, B, and C for all weather types and was super helpful in putting together ideas for a great shot location list.
I was super nervous about being awkward in front of the camera but Maria has an incredible way of putting couples at ease. She actually made us laugh and be super comfortable in front of the camera. Quite simply she is someone you want to hang out with on your wedding day. She has an amazing sense of humor and very calming demeanor.
In terms of the output… the photos are STUNNING! I get so many compliments on her photos. They are incredibly timeless, natural, and just so New England! She is great at capturing both posed (but they look very natural) and candid photos. Her and her assistant also managed to take incredible pictures of so many guests… it was really fun to review the huge gallery of photos after the wedding because we got to see some moments that we missed but she managed to capture. If you are wavering, I highly recommend you go with Maria… she is the best! -

Maria is nothing short of amazing! She photographed our wedding in Newport in October 2021. From the outset of our communications, she was friendly, easy to contact and professional. Our photographs were AMAZING and we could not be more pleased with our experience. We also purchased our wedding album from Maria, which was similarly perfect in every way. Run, don't walk, to hire Maria! You will not regret it! -

Maria is truly amazing. she is fun, professional and captures the moments of your day perfectly. Myself and my husband felt so comfortable and ourselves on our wedding day and during our engagement photos. The photos are STUNNING. She was on top of every photo we wanted of our day and is great at helping get family members together for the extended family photos!! Made it seamless to ensure we could enjoy as much of cocktail hour as we could. Already received so many AMAZING pictures less than two weeks out from our wedding!!! So happy she was part of our very special day! Thank you!!!! -

Maria was such a wonderful photographer from start to finish. We had a great scoping call where we made initial plans and she answered all of my bride panic questions with confidence and ease.
On the weekend of our wedding she managed to work with changes to our plan, multiple venues, and other vendors in such a collaborative way. She knew every member of our bridal party's name and got every shot that we requested (and about 9 million more that we love as well).
The final results are engagement, welcome party, and wedding photos that we will cherish for a lifetime. I'm already excited to work with Maria on eventual family and maternity shoots when the time comes. -

Maria was PHENOMENAL throughout the entire process. We booked her for our engagement photos + wedding way back in 2019. I was thrilled with how our engagement photos came out. I told her my vision and that I wanted our dog to be included. I even asked for some location suggestions - and we picked the most beautiful little spot in Padanaram, MA. Then COVID hit and we had to postpone our wedding. She continued to check in and make plans for our new 2021 wedding date. She was extremely professional, organized and so easy to work with! Our wedding party was floored that she took the time to learn their names too! She is so quick with getting the photos back, and I really appreciate the sneak peeks that she sent a few days after the event. The BEST decision was hiring her to capture our special day - I would recommend her over and over again -

Maria brings so much more than just a camera to your big day!
I cannot say enough good things about Maria and recommend every work with her. I saw a previous wedding she had shot and just knew we had to have her. She truly makes every single wedding look sunny, joyous and magical. We also wanted someone who would keep us calm and roll with any last minute schedule changes which believe me, we had plenty. She totally delivered from making our chilly windy engagement pictures look great, postponing our official reception by a year, and also taking the time to shoot our elopement with only four days notice. With each session her turnaround time was stellar and they came out better than expected. My husband and I are both so appreciative to have had Maria as a part of our wedding day and our pictures could not be more perfect! -

We looked at a lot of photographers for our wedding by their photos and narrowed it down to a few. We hired Maria because of her direction, temperament and knowledge of amazing locations to photograph. She was so easy to work with, had great communication and knew exactly what she was doing at all times which made our experience amazing. We cannot recommend Maria more. -

Look no further!!
It is hard to put into words what Maria was able to give to us by being our wedding photographer. From the very first time we spoke, I could tell her style would jive well with mine. Calm, thoughtful, and obviously captured beautiful shots. Maria did a few of my girlfriends weddings already, so I knew her work was fantastic. But what I most appreciated was her calm nature, ability to keep everything moving, incredible talent of remembering everyone's names (!), and just general demeanor on the day of. I was a bit nervous, and also didn't have a wedding planner - so having Maria there for almost every step of the day was so helpful. At one point in the day, she urged us to do sunset photos. In the moment, I wasn't sure I wanted to pull away from the celebration, but THANK GOD she prompted us to do them. These would be the MOST beautiful shots of the day - and she knew it. I cannot recommend Maria enough. If you are looking for a calm, sweet, and incredibly talented photographer that will leave you in complete awe at your photos and perfect memories of the day, look no further. -

Maria. Is. Amazing. We cannot put into words how thankful we are that we had her at our wedding to capture our day! She is as real as it gets, so down to earth and unbelievably talented. She made us feel so at home all day it was just perfect. I can say without hesitation that as long as we live in New England we will have a forever photographer. :) -
