Maria and Scott were an absolute dream team for our wedding photography! From the moment we saw our engagement shoot photos, I knew we were in for something extraordinary on our wedding day. The attention to detail and their ability to capture the true joy of our special day were beyond phenomenal.
I had initial nerves about wedding photography because, let's face it, these are the memories that last a lifetime. Maria and Scott quickly put those fears to rest with their exceptional talent. Their ability to capture not only the big moments but also the subtle, intimate details made our wedding album a true work of art. Having both Maria and Scott was a blessing; they caught so many moments that we missed, allowing us to relive our day in the most beautiful way possible.
Maria stood out as our best vendor throughout the entire wedding planning process. Always the first to communicate, she worked with us every step of the way, ensuring that our vision was realized. I wholeheartedly recommend Maria to any couple seeking perfection in capturing their wedding day. Thank you, Maria and Scott, for gifting us with memories that will last a lifetime. You are truly the best in the business!

Maria is the best!!! From the moment we met her we knew we were going to love her and her husband, Scott. Her photos are absolutely beautiful and perfectly captured the day as we remember it. Maria is also such a kind and hard-working person and it’s been a pleasure working with her and getting to know her. -

Maria and Scott are absolutely everything you could want from your wedding photographer!! Aside from their photos turning out gorgeous, it is a pleasure working with them throughout the whole process. When we were looking for a photographer, we wanted a balance of being present and enjoying our day while still feeling like all the important moments were captured, and that’s exactly what we got! It’s so nice looking back at our photos and feeling like they really captured it all, formal and candid. From first contact, to wedding day, to receiving our photos, each step was stress free. It really feels like we got everything we could have wanted working with them, and we’re so happy we had them to capture our day!! -

Amazing! The photographers you’ve been looking for…
Look no further for a wedding photographer. Right off the bat, we were impressed with how quickly and efficiently Maria was with responding to all of our emails. She was easy to communicate with through the whole wedding planning process and was so flexible with my crazy schedule. On the wedding day, Maria and Scott went above and beyond for us! Our venue was under construction and they did everything they could to give us our dream wedding pictures. The pictures are gorgeous regardless of the time of day, which shows how skilled they are in dealing with different lightings. My husband and I are awkward when it comes to posing, but Maria and Scott made us feel so comfortable and helped style us in picture perfect ways! I can’t say enough how kind and professional Maria and Scott are. They are truly the best! -

Amazing!
We were fortunate enough to have Maria and Scott capture our engagement photos and wedding photos. I truly wouldn’t want to use anyone else. From our first call, we immediately hit it off. They are such genuinely good people and my husband and I felt amazing from the start with them. The photos of both our engagement and our wedding turned out spectacular! We couldn’t have asked for a better set of people to do our photos. I can’t wait to continue to use them in the future for any further milestones in our lives together. -

Maria and Scott were AMAZING. They were so friendly and personable and made you feel at ease, especially on a crazy day like your wedding. Maria was so helpful with different poses and such (since we never get professional pictures taken, we’re clueless). They arrived on time and even stayed later than planned to make sure we had tons of pictures. The preview pictures were so beautiful. I can’t say enough about Maria. You need her!! -

Stephanie Sent on 03/26/2017Maria was absolutely wonderful to work with! I contacted her a little late in the game, but I am so glad I found her! She was so sweet and patient with our big group. Our wedding day was freezing and she was able to improvise and still get wonderful photos inside. Her lighting quality and style was exactly what I was looking for! She has a great eye for capturing really sweet moments that are natural and not posed. They were some of my favorite photos she took. I would recommend Maria to anyone in heartbeat! Thank you, Maria!!! -

Josephine Sent on 09/11/2019The best wedding photographers that anyone can wish for
You will not be disappointed when you hire Maria and Scott. They did our our engagement shoot which came out amazing but their expertise really shown through during our wedding day! They were so much more than our photographers. They helped us with our wedding day schedule, helped to corral our family the day of, helped to put on my husband's boutonniere and so much more. They were such an integral part of our wedding and I couldn't imagine our day without them. To top it off, the photos came out stunning! My family said that we looked like models. -

My husband and I had a photo shoot done for our fourth Wedding Anniversary. Maria and Scott we're amazing. They made us feel super relaxed and gave the gentle encouragement we needed to get into the moment. We really wanted to capture our connection on film, so to speak, as we didn't have any professional photos from our original Wedding day. When we got the photos back, we sat together, and while listening to music looked through the photoshoot. It was exactly what we hoped for. With happy tears going down my cheek, I saw our love, our connection, right there, captured in time, in photos for us to share with our families and for us to be able to reflect on for a lifetime. I can't recommend Maria enough. She has a natural talent and is a wonderful person to top it all off. ❤️ -

Incredible photographer and person
Maria was the first vendor we booked after we found our wedding venue, since we were looking for specific things in a wedding photographer: a documentary/photojournalism style with natural-looking color grading; expertise in beach and daytime photography; and experience photographing LGBTQ+ couples -- and all of this within our budget. Maria checked all our boxes and even boxes we didn't even think to look for. She was so flexible and responsive in all our interactions with her, and even adjusted our timeline to include meeting up with us for sunset photos several hours after our daytime reception concluded. She surprised us with polaroids at the end of the day, which we were able to display at home right away, sent us a large number of sneak peek photos a few days after our wedding, and even included a montage video set to our processional song with our full gallery. Probably the best part of working with Maria (and Scott, her second photographer) is that while she is very professional, she is also down-to-earth and lets her personality shine through in all her interactions with her clients and in her web and Instagram presence.
Since we knew our wedding photographer would be right up close while we experienced some of the most special moments of our relationship, we needed to feel like we somewhat knew and could trust that person, and we definitely felt that level of comfort with Maria and Scott. I'm someone who is very awkward whenever a camera is pointed at me, but they captured moments when I wasn't even aware of them shooting. When we received our gallery, looking at the photos brought us right back to our wedding day. We're having trouble narrowing down which ones to print or post, we love so many of them! If you're looking for photographers for your wedding who will work with you and are just kind, friendly people, we can't recommend Maria and Scott highly enough. If we ever have any other big life events we'd like photographed in the future, we'd reach out to them in a heartbeat. -

Where is even the best to start describing Maria & Scott as photographers?
Let me start by saying, if you are just looking for someone to simply capture a few photos for your wedding or special event, Maria and Scott are not the right photographers for you. This is because they are SO MUCH more than photographers, the way they make you feel comfortable in front of the lens, or in the in-between conversations between photos leads them to feel more like friends and family than just your wedding photographer.
These are two of the most incredible human beings that I have had the pleasure of coming across and every day I think about how lucky I am to have found them; again not only as photographer but as friends, which is what I would consider them now.
I will shout their names from the rooftops if anyone asks for photographer recommendations and every special event from here to the end of my days will be captured by Maria & Scott -

Maria was absolutely perfect for our special day. She was very flexible with our time line (we had to move up our wedding date last minute). She was professional and respectful of the wedding party and guests’ space. We didn't even know she was there, yet she captured every moment of our wedding. We felt very comfortable with Maria as she is kind and easy going. By the end of the wedding she felt like part of the family. The quality of the photos are top notch and the black and whites are just breathtaking. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer. -

From our first interaction, we knew that Maria and Scott would be the perfect photographers for us. Their website provided a user-friendly atmosphere, which is SO important when you are planning a million things for your wedding. Maria was always readily available to answer any questions that we had and just helped us to navigate through the wedding process. At our wedding, Maria and Scott fit perfectly into our family and friends and interacted in a professional but friendly manner. Our family could not say enough about them and how wonderful they were to interact with. Maria was quick to provide a sneak peak of our wedding day and a few short weeks later, our entire gallery to review. I expected amazing pictures but Maria completely exceeded our expectations. The pictures were AMAZING and she really captured who we are as a couple - which is so perfect. I could not recommend her enough! -

Maria and Scott are a DREAM. TEAM. From the very first time I contacted Maria (2 years out from our wedding!) she was kind, responsive, and thorough. We were planning a mini destination wedding and Maria did not even hesitate in saying yes to joining us on our little adventure! She consistently responded to my many emails, helped us plan our engagement shoot locations and outfits, our wedding timeline, etc. etc. etc. You name it--Maria helped us with it. Scott consistently made us laugh, held my flowers and my dress and my water on the wedding day. They truly go above and beyond for their clients.
For starters--Our engagement shoot that was only supposed to last 1 hour--ended up lasting 4. Maria and Scott kept us laughing the entire time and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. They are both so passionate about what they do, and that shines in the way they carry themselves. They even held our dog for us when he was being just a littttle bit crazy during the shoot.
I think the most important piece of information about Maria and Scott (besides their absolutely incredible work--that speaks for itself) are just that they are GOOD humans who care so much about other humans. For example, Maria went out of her way to take photos during our engagement shoot of a family who were trying to get a selfie right in the direct sunlight...then promised to email them to them for free. She also sent us a surprise photo book after our wedding after she checked in on us nearly everyday when we were going through a hurricane on our honeymoon. These are just two examples of how incredible of a person Maria is.
We hired them for our wedding, but I really feel we made lifelong friends. We will never hire any other photographer again. Our family has even used Maria and Scott for their photos as well. We will forever cherish the photographs Maria and Scott took for us. Thank you, thank you, thank you. -

Nikita Sent on 11/24/2019Our forever photographer
October 4, 2019 was literally the best day of my life. Elisa and I could not have picked a better photographer! Everyone said during the planning process to make sure you get a good photographer because your wedding photos are really the only memory you’ll have of that day and it is the absolute truth. Maria and Scott not only captured every single moment but the photos they took literally made me feel like I was reliving my wedding day. Me and my now wife ;) in almost every single photo feel the love and emotions all over again. They both are just the most absolute sweetest people and are amazing at what they do! They never missed any of the important moments and made the awkward photo taking process 10x easier lol. Our wedding photos are officially a piece to my heart and we will forever cherish them ❤️ Even after the wedding Maria and I have stayed in contact and already have our next photo shoot setup but this time with our fur babies! From engagement photos to wedding to now fur baby photos we will use them for EVERYTHING and I can’t wait till we need you guys for a maternity shoot! Elisa and I will always be grateful of you two ❤️ You guys deserved 10 stars but they only allowed me to give 5 🤣🤷🏼♀️💕 -

Captured the best day ever!
We were blown away with our experience working with Maria & Scott for our wedding. From day one, the process was easy, and we really enjoyed talking with Maria. She helped us realize what we wanted and helped us determine the style of photos we wanted which turned out exactly how I wanted. Through the laughter and tears of our big day, Maria kept the energy up and people engaged the whole night. Toward the end of the night, we got into a big group hug with Maria and Scott and we got to see a few dance moves. Our photos are filled with genuine smiles and you can see our love exude. We cannot them enough for capturing memories from the best day of our lives. -
