Extremely personal and personable!
Maris did a phenomenal job working with us for our wedding photos. She was the first photographer I saw that really advertised being inclusive, and that was really important to me. Being able to meet with her ahead of time for an engagement shoot really helped my partner and I get comfortable with being in front of the camera, and really helped us to make the most of our time on the wedding day. She really advocated for us to have the day that we wanted, and was just an all around joy to work with. We got our teaser photos back lightning fast too, and they were so emotional to see, she did a great job capturing our special bond. Thank you Maris!! -

Maris is amazing!
Maris took both our engagement and wedding photos. She was so fun to work with and our photos look incredible! She was dancing along with us all night and made everyone feel super comfortable while taking photos. I would definitely recommend Maris to anyone looking for a photographer! -

Perfectly Wonderful
Maris was amazing. Her personality fit well with ours, and made it clear to us that she was there for us. Not only did she listen to our input, she encouraged suggestions. We loved working with her and her shots are stunning. For reference, we had a fall wedding and she captured the foliage perfectly. If you're looking for an outdoor photographer, Maris is more than great. -

Wedding photographer extraordinaire
Maris was such a pleasure to work with, from the moment we booked her for our wedding through to the end of our big day! She is organized, professional, and dedicated to her clients. She is a visionary, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for any photography needs, particularly for their wedding. Our wedding attendants all raved about her and how attentive she was. We even have her booked for a family portrait session coming up and are so looking forward to working with her again! 10/10! -

Fun & Professional!
Maris is an incredible photographer who perfectly balances fun with professionalism! She did a great job wrangling all our family members together for pictures after our ceremony, and was great with the little kids too. She's super receptive and open to your thoughts about pictures, posing, and even moods/editing ideas of the photos. She really cares about your experience and wedding as a whole, and we would recommend her one million times over! -

The BEST wedding photographer, hands down.
Maris is a PHENOMENAL photographer. I am so glad we booked her for our wedding photos. Her communication is on point, from first contact to booking services/signing contract to the day of the event. She has a great personality and asked great questions to get us the shots we didn't even know we wanted but now know we couldn't do without. We had a super long engagement and met with her a little over a year before our wedding to do Save the Date photos in lieu of engagement photos. It was a great experience and we knew we were in good hands.
On the day of our wedding, she collaborated seamlessly with our videographer and the venue owner to make things as easy as possible for me and my bridesmaids. She even got my nieces to smile and stand still for our group photo, which is unheard of!
My bridesmaid who has been in/attended approximately one thousand weddings (love you, Sarah!) said Maris was the best photographer she'd ever worked with. I agree wholeheartedly.
Maris has a great eye for composing an awesome photograph and it was so nice to be able to trust a professional to get things done. She gave great instruction and made it so easy for us. She's also super fun to be around! She really goes above and beyond to make things as perfect as they can be. 10/10 would recommend! -

Simply Perfection!
Maris did an AMAZING job at my wedding! She was able to work with us from the get-go since we were not in the area to take engagement photos with her. She made it so easy on our end to make sure we got the photos we needed without stressing about it day of. She had incredible energy the whole day, and everyone at our wedding kept complimenting her work. I would HIGHLY recommend having Maris photograph your wedding! -

Outstanding!!
Maris is WONDERFUL! My husband and I were supposed to have our wedding in August 2020. It was postponed to 2021 due to covid, but we got married anyways on our original date. Not knowing what the future would look like and if we’d ever be able to celebrate with our friends and family, we hired a photographer and videographer for our August 2020 mini-wedding. Unfortunately, we had a completely disappointing experience with those vendors. Feeling discouraged, I began looking for a new photographer in February 2021 for our August 2021 wedding. I immediately found Maris and was so excited! I LOVED the way she communicated. She listened so closely and so patiently to my past experiences and really took it to heart as she prepared for our big wedding in August 2021. She went above and beyond in learning about my husband and I, what our hopes and dreams were for our photos, what is meaningful to us, what specific things we wanted captured, etc. She even bought a special lens to capture the sparkle of my dress better because she knows how much I LOVE sparkle!! She also did an “engagement” photo session with us a month before our 2021 wedding. We had the best time getting to know her! This helped us tremendously as we felt so comfortable and excited to work with her on our wedding day. Maris and I communicated a ton leading up to the wedding day, and she did not forget anything! She remembered every little detail and pose I wanted captured. She continued to communicate beautifully with us on our wedding day. I LOVED that she showed me pictures she took throughout the day to make sure I was happy with what she was capturing. She paid super close attention to my insecurities throughout the entire day and made sure she was capturing photos that made me feel beautiful. She also brought her second photographer, Gary, along with her, who was awesome! Maris and Gary worked together perfectly and truly contributed to the joy of the day. My family and bridal party raved about Maris and Gary all day! We LOVED their creativity, their joy, their professionalism, but also their fun personalities! We cannot recommend Maris and Gary enough and can’t wait to see our wedding photos!! -

Professional and Talented
Maris did an amazing job with our photography. She was professional, gave easy to follow directions, and had a good eye for how to make us look our best. Reasonable prices, excellent outcome. -

Never received photos
I hate to leave a negative review, but I feel it's necessary due to my experience regarding our wedding photos. It has been over 24 weeks since our wedding on November 11, 2024, and we have yet to receive our photos.
Since February 1, 2025, I have attempted to contact the photographer, but all I have received are automated replies. This lack of communication is incredibly distressing, especially after such a wonderful experience on our wedding day.
Update: We received all of our colored photos today and the quality is amazing. Maris did a wonderful job. -

Do not hire this photographer!
We hired Maris Plymale for our wedding in May of 2025. We did not receive our completed wedding album until January 20th, 2026. We went months without hearing from the photographer or getting an update. When we requested an update we were met with pushback. We do not recommend Maris Plymale Photography for a day as precious as your wedding day. -

Photos MIA
We hired Maris as our wedding photographer after seeing the beautiful photos on The Knot. Our contract stated a 12-week delivery timeline, with the understanding that timelines could possibly change by some. However, it has now been over 25 weeks (6 months) since our wedding, and we still do not have our full wedding gallery…
Maris was hired for four hours of coverage on our wedding day and we paid in full before the wedding. After the wedding, communication from her became an issue almost immediately. We did not receive a response, or even see our preview gallery until 13 weeks after our wedding, and only after repeatedly reaching out essentially begging to see them. We are still missing all photos taken after the ceremony, which represents approximately 2 hours of coverage.
What is very troubling is that while Maris cannot complete our gallery or reply us, she continues to actively post other sessions and advertise her services on social media—despite not completing or even sending the unedited photos when requested after not wanting to wait anymore back to clients that have paid in full.
After more than 25 weeks without our full wedding gallery, this experience has left us feeling extremely disappointed and concerned about the lack of communication and follow-through. No couple should have to experience this after hiring a professional photographer.
After reading additional reviews, I discovered that other couples have reported similar issues involving long delays, lack of communication and resolution. I wish we had known this before booking. This photographer has deprived us of precious, irreplaceable memories with our friends and family. We are extremely concerned that we may never receive or see the photos taken following our ceremony.
Since we have not heard anything, we have been so anxious we are not going to get our full photos backs. The last thing we wanted was to leave a bad review, but being we have given many opportunities to avoid this we feel like we have no other options. We hope this can be resolved.
