    Fun to work with

    I got some really good pictures. But make sure you tell exactly what you want. I missed out on some pictures that I would of loved to take with my husband. She needs to find out location before shoot would be the only suggestion

    Chor and Jeanne's Wedding

    It was a wonderful experience working with Mariela and her husband. She is very professional, yet you feel like you are with your best friend. Mariela listens to your requests, and her shots are magical. We love our wedding pictures.

    Beyond awesome customer service!

    Mariela is a true trooper! My engagement photos were a trek to get to but with Mariela’s positive attitude she made it adventurous. For our wedding day she was punctual. Her easy and fun going attitude made the day go flawlessly especially with all the must have pictures. Very professional and quick responses to any matters.

    Mariela is the absolute BEST!! Love her!

    Mariela = ASTONISHING!!
    She really is the absolute best! We can’t thank her enough! We booked our engagement session with her too and I’m so glad we did because for our wedding pictures, it was like we were with a friend. ZERO awkwardness. She made us feel so comfortable and more importantly, made us look good in our wedding pictures. On the day of the wedding, we were off to a bad start with other vendors and other people overwhelming me. I couldn’t wait for Mariela to get there because I knew that her energy was exactly what I needed to change my mood and that’s exactly what she did! It was like I couldn’t wait to hang out with my friend on my wedding day and that’s what every couple needs on their wedding day! She is honestly the best and I wouldn’t book anyone else for any future events.

    A joy work with

    Mariela was the photographer for my wedding and for my brothers, she did an amazing job at both events and provided us with amazing photographers we will cherish forever. She really listens to what you want and makes it happen, plus she works with other vendors on timelines to ensure everything is aligned through the day. 10/10 would recommend

    Astounding, Sweet, and Photographer

    Mariela captured our day so beautifully. The most enthusiastic, supportive, outstanding, helpful, and lovely photographer also happens to take the best photos!
    She went over and beyond our expectations. She created an outline for our wedding to capture all the images we wanted to preserve, even discussed lighting and the sunset time ( we weren't thinking about that). She genuinely cared and took the time to capture the best photos. She is patient, professional, and funny :). I cannot imagine my wedding date without her.
    She pays attention to every detail; was super sweet to include our dog Lucas in our portraits. We were pleasantly surprised when we received our wedding pictures and found Lucas's candid images (our dog). She is amazing!

    Mariela saved our day!

    Mariela was amazing! I highly recommend her to everyone I know. Me and my husband were in a bind and lost our photographer a week before our wedding. We were recommended to Mariela, and she helped put us at ease and got very excited with us to share our day. She was compassionate to our emergent need and even provided a second shooter (something I had tried the secure with the original photographer and could not).

    From the moment we spoke she was interested in our love story and giving us the best captured moments possible. She really did create a genuine connection with us during our short prewedding time, and made us feel like she was there to celebrate with us.

    Day of our wedding her and her assistant Chloe were a blast and caught every little detail and sweet moment. Mariela was very efficient and at ease in capturing photographable moments without disrupting the vibe, and in fact added to it. We aren’t big picture people and for that reason I really wanted as many photos as we could get, and she was able to give us everything we had dreamed up and more, and made us both feel comfortable in front of the camera.

    Mariela was a total blessing! She added so much joy and peace to our day. I would love to continue to use her services for big life moments to come!

    I thank her for all her efforts in making our day flawless, decreasing my stresses, and giving us timeless photos we get to put all over our home!

    Hands done the best!

    I wish I could find all the words to truly encompass how amazing, Mariela, was on my wedding day. Weddings can be stressful the day of especially for the bride. You always want to make sure your moment is captured beautifully just as you would imagine. Mariela did just that and so much more! She has the sweetest, loving, fun spirit that puts you at ease. My husband and I had so much fun taking our pictures. She captured our day so wonderfully with portraits as well as action shots. Isn't that what it about!? Having fun and enjoying your wedding day! I even had guests at my wedding saying how wonderful she was. I would highly recommend Mariela for all your photography needs! I'll definitely be hiring her again if I ever need a photographer in the future. Thank you again, Mariela!

    Love, Michelle & Cory Peevyhouse

    Let her to her magic and she will not disappoint!

    We came across Mariela by a venues pop up display event. She did a promo engagement shoot, for us to see her work ( for free). My fiancé and I had done engagement photos a few weeks prior to meeting Mariela, we didn’t need the photos but it was free. We had fun during the shoot, and didn’t really think much about it.

    When we got the photos, we loved every single one. In all honestly we liked these so much more than our original photos. Every photo was carefully edited and we looked so naturally posed. Without thinking twice, we hired Mariela to capture our wedding day.

    The day of the wedding, Mariela was so profesional yet so personable. She felt like a friend. My husband is usually shy during photos,Mariela had him and I laughing and just having a great time. The one thing that stood out during the whole day, was how organized she was. She had an outline printed, to make sure every single photo we asked for was not missed. When family asked to take a photo a specific way, with specific people she always went back to the outline politely.

    Mariela is super talented, she captures couples with so many styles. I however was looking for a particular style. Mariela had all our photos edited and sent to us within 3 weeks. She nailed every single photo with the style I was looking for. We loved all the photos. Every photo showed so much emotions. Every photo everyone was so natural looking. My husband and I loved Mariela’s energy and work. We are so happy we hired her.

    Beautiful experience and gorgeous photos

    Working with Mariela was such a fun experience! Our photos turned out gorgeous and during the whole day she made me feel like the most beautiful bride. She has an eye for beauty and helped bring everything together. I would chose Mariela over and over again to capture my photos especially for such an important day. I can’t thank her enough!

    Amazing Photographer!

    Mariela went above and beyond! She even arrived early to take some extra photos. Her work is amazing and she is an all around great person. She is professional and communicates throughout the whole process. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to photograph our wedding! We are in love with our photos and revisit them often to this day!

    Pure Magic and Light

    Mariela and Demetrious were so warm and welcoming and kind from the very start! We felt like we were lifelong friends from the first phone call. It was such a joy to meet them, to work with them and have them in our lives! They’re so fun to work with! They’re professional, but also exactly what you need for all the stressful times. They help plan every detail as little or as much as you want, they’re there for you always. I am honored and so happy to have had them with us on our journey and we hundred percent recommend them!

    MCP is the best choice for your wedding photographer and videographer by far! Mariela and Demetris are both wonderful people and amazing at what they do! Making sure that I had a photographer and videographer was a great choice but choosing MCP was the best choice; they captured my wedding so beautifully and I now have amazing photos and videos to remember the day forever. They are professional, yet personable and keep you updated throughout the entire process. My experience with them has been wonderful and I cannot recommend them enough!

    My advice for couples who are trying to decide whether to book this vendor or not is to look no further. My wife Kelly and I were originally drawn into working with Mariela and her husband Demetrius because of their work. Their photography and videography portfolios quickly out shined that of all of the other photographers and videographers we had visited and reviewed. It doesn't take long to recognize that their work looks like that which you would see in any reputable magazine or advertisement. The images they create are absolutely beautiful ... composed yet natural and with a clarity that reassured us that they were true professionals. We were then blessed with the good fortune of meeting them in person and realizing that we had hit the jackpot. Their personalities, ability to lend direction, reliability, and fabulous sense of humor all came together to make working with them the best experience we ever could have asked for. Mariela and Demetrius were truly helpful in helping us get some of our questions answered (whether they related to their services or not) and in helping us find other vendors they thought also held their same high standards. My wife and I look at what they have done to capture the most important day of our lives and step back in awe. They truly understand the importance of the day and you will see that within each interaction with them. We are so fortunate to have worked with this awesome duo and without any reservation recommend them highly. Thank you Mariela and Demetrius Campbell ... you are appreciated more than words can express.

    We would give Mariela 100 stars if we could! She is the perfect package. Not only is she an extremely talented photographer who cares deeply about the quality of her work, but she also goes above and beyond to make her clients feel comfortable. Her warm, open personality makes working with her a fun, enjoyable, and very personal experience.

    Our first meeting with Mariela and her husband Demetris was over coffee. We enjoyed their company so much we immediately knew we would hire Mariela as our photographer. A huge bonus was that during the initial meeting Mariela provided us with some awesome local vendor contacts and made our wedding planning so much easier!

    From engagement shoot to wedding day, Mariela was genuinely interested in learning about us as a couple, and her authenticity showed through in the way her photos perfectly represented each of our personalities and our relationship.

    On the day of our wedding Mariela and her team (including her equally awesome husband Demetris) were organized, super helpful, and efficient. She and her second shooter fit right in with our family and friends, made sure everyone was relaxed and comfortable, and documented each and every special moment with professionalism and an artistic eye.

    We are so thankful to have found Mariela and believe she played an essential role in fulfilling our dream wedding. If you are looking for a wonderful photographer to capture your special day look no further, you have found the one! Mariela is a truly special, one of a kind person and we cannot thank her enough!

    Mariela and Demetris are simply amazing! We were immediately at ease with them and cannot be happier that we found them. Our engagement shoot was so much fun and Mariela really understood when we said that we didn't want anything "posed"- (I had worried about that)- but all the photos turned out so great, so much better than we could imagine. Not only are they professional but they are really supportive and want you to have the very best wedding experience. They have great personalities and we cannot wait for our wedding next month! You can't go wrong with them!

    She was absolutely the best! Awesome work (pics and video) but of equal importance, her and her husband were so nice and personable. They made the whole experience fun and we felt they were part of our wedding group. I would highly recommend for any photography or video needs. Just a great person!

    I would recommend Mariela and Demetrius in a heartbeat. They have a way of capturing every moment so gracefully you don't even realize they are in the room.

    They delivered everything we asked for and so much more. They are incredibly talented and truly the best "vendor" we worked with throughout the whole wedding process.

    Not only are they ridiculously talented, they are fun, down to earth and passionate about their work!

    We have found our photographer for life, that's for sure.

    We met Mariela at a bridal show in Los Angeles not expecting to find our photographer there! Since my husband is a designer he was being very particular about the photographer we were selecting for our wedding but when he saw Mariela's portfolio we were instantly impressed! Mariela was very professional, warm/friendly and accommodating. She helped us select and customize a package that fit our needs and our budget. The fact that she wanted to take the time meet with us and get to know us before our engagement shoot showed that she really cares about making her clients happy and wants to make the experience very personal. For our engagement shoot she was very flexible and willing to go to 3 different locations we selected (that were not in close proximity by any means). On our wedding day we were running tight on time before and after the ceremony to get all of the bride/groom and family photos taken but she kept calm and was able to capture some beautiful shots! Overall it was a wonderful experience working with Mariela and her husband Demetrius (videographer) for our engagement and wedding shoots and I would highly recommend them for a wedding, photo session or for any event!

    First and foremost, Mariela and Demetris made my wife and I very comfortable upon our initial meeting. They were very personable yet professional and if actually felt like we were old friends. Normally, I would be put off by doing engagement photos, but Mariela ensured me that they would not be corny. AND THEY WEREN'T!!! During the actual wedding, everyone in our entourage loved Mariela and Demetris. At times we didn't even feel like they were there, and other times they blended in naturally. We love the candid shots they took of our special night, as well, and look forward to seeing the final product of our wedding album. I'm sure it will be something to cherish for a long time.

    Mariela and her husband Demetri are two of the most talented photography/video duos in this area! I had worked with them once before and when I recommended them to my clients, Connie Marie and Ramon Flores, they treated them like gold. Their pricing was reasonable, and their work was stunning! Mariela Campbell Photography will give you an incredible collection of innovative, creative and beautiful photos and video that you can treasure for a lifetime!

    I am a florist and I have to say that Mariela was extremely professional, friendly and very responsive. She took amazing pictures of our work and shared them with me a week later. This was the first time in my career that a photographer actually sent me the pictures without me having to bug her myself. The pictures look absolutely amazing and I can't believe that they are of my work. I would definitely recommend Mariela to all my brides and would love to do business with her again.

    I met Mariela and her husband (the team behind the photography and videography company) at a bridal show in SoCal about a month before the wedding.
    Mariela was approachable and easy to talk with. I told her about our wedding and that I wanted to sit down with her and speak to her about my needs. She got in touch with me again after that to schedule a consultation. At the consult we discussed my budget and I told her what I really wanted -I showed her certain scenes that I wanted captured, what kind of feel I was looking for, etc. We also communicated throughout via email as the day got closer. Mariela was always quick to respond and I felt she understood what I needed. She even went out of her way to help me with a timeline -I was a DIY bride- for photos on the wedding day.

    Finally on the day of the wedding, she arrived extra early to take photos as we were prepping. It was kind of chaotic and I just showed her where things were and while we were pretty much all over the place, Mariela was very professional and managed it all so well and took the photos I had asked.

    Our photos photos were delivered within the time promised. And prior to that, there was a lot of communication between Mariela and I, as well a sneak peek on her blog which was lovely. When I finally got my photos I was pleased that I chose Mariela as our photographer. She captured so many great moments that it's kind of hard to choose. There were also a lot of unexpected photos, especially portraits of my husband which were great! For me, it's nice to have individual portraits apart from couple and group ones.

    All in all, I highly recommend Mariela Campbell for photography services. Mariela worked within our budget and was honest and upright about the costs. She's very easy to work with (and goes above the call of duty) and there is no lapse in communication with her. I'm very pleased with her photographs as they captured the moments that were important to my husband and I.

    My new husband and I search all over Los Angeles for the perfect photographer. After meeting what felt like every photographer in town our wedding planned had us call Mariela. Right off the bat I knew she was what we were looking for! Her pictures are not your typical boring walmart quality pictures. Not only did she capture all our important moments, but you can really see the emotion and love in them. Mariela even went as far as to help us create our dream film inspired engagement shoot. Out of all of our pictures I really could find 1 I didn't like. We trust her implicitly and look forward to working with her again!
