    Could not be happier!

    Do not hesitate to immediately book Mary as your photographer. I cannot say enough good things about her. She was very communicative, listened and delivered on exactly what we wanted. We wanted to avoid our wedding photos showing any wedding day jitters or being too posed and we were amazed at how relaxed Mary made us feel. She managed to turn the picture taking into a good time for all. Only down side I will say is you will have so many wonderful photos to go through that it will be hard to choose your favorites!! I wouldn’t hesitate to use Mary again for future events.

    Thank you so much for your kind review! I absolutely loved your wedding and getting to capture your long awaited day 😍
    You were both such a dream to work with and your love is very evident in your photos 😍

    Wonderful to Work With!

    Mary originally did our engagement photos back in 2018, and we loved her so much, she was our first choice for wedding photographer! She is easy to work with and makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I love all the photos she's taken of us and am so thankful we chose her to capture our memories.
    Mary is easy to get ahold of, more than reasonably priced, and she delivers photos timely (she had our preview photos the next day!).

    Mary Berrien Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much Taylor! It was amazing to be a part of your gorgeous winter wedding at one of my favorite places. You and David are definitely meant to be! I love your mysterious foggy pictures so much 😍😍😍

    So happy we went with Mary for our wedding!!

    Mary shot our wedding August 21, 2021, and if we could go back in time, we'd hire her again every single time! She went way beyond our expectations both in her craft and her amiability. She was professional and clearly knew her stuff, but was also so approachable and fun to hang out with. She was a seamless extension to our special day. Oh! And she sent us sneak peaks THE VERY NEXT DAY which is huge, and the photos we've seen so far are just pure magic. She didn't just capture the events of the day, she captured the feelings of the day, and that's exactly what we hoped for. Plus she convinced us to do the first look and that was a great addition and we're so glad we did it. 10/10 would recommend Mary!

    Mary Berrien Photography's reply:

    Emily + Austin!! I loved your day!! Not only was the scenery stunning, but your love and connection were palpable- your vows so heartfelt, and your photos turned out beautifully because of it. (also the gluten free pizza bar was * amazing * )

    I loved working with you both, and your families and friends 🧡

    Awesome Experience!

    Logan and I had a really great experience working with Mary! Our wedding was quite a bit bigger than her norm, but she was willing to work with us and did such a beautiful job. She was very enjoyable to work with and super helpful with the process leading up to the wedding. We could not be happier with the photos!! Highly recommend Mary Berrien Photography!

    So flexible and puts you to ease!

    Mary was so flexible and accommodating to our many wedding changes and photo requests. We have a big family and she helped us get shots with everyone. Her personality made us feel very comfortable and she has a great eye for where the best shots can be within the venue. She was the perfect balance of grabbing us for photos and letting us do our thing at the wedding. I would definitely recommend using Mary for your wedding (or other types) photography!

    Thank you guys so much- you were an absolute dream to work with! I’d take your wedding/engagement photos every day of the week and I hope I get to see you guys again!!

    Outstandingly helpful and great quality

    My now husband and I are extremely awkward. We don’t do well with staged pictures. Mary took both of engagement and wedding photos. Starting with the engagement photos she found a location that was not only a place my husband and I love but a place that photographs well. She made the process go well, playing fun music and having us relax and act natural. The pictures came out great! We stayed in touch she helped me craft a timeline for day of. She send an adorable email the day before calming my nerves. We’ve not received all of our wedding photos yet, but the ones we do have are amazing! She did a great job capturing us and our guests.
    I highly recommend her for all of your photography needs. I can’t imagine anyone else for our big moments.

    Mary Berrien Photography's reply:

    😭😭😍😍
    Jessica! Thank you so so much for this! It means the world to me that I was able to be what you hoped for in a photographer! I had such a fun time with you guys, and I’m in love with your photos! Can’t wait to deliver your gallery!!!

    Wonderful experience!

    Mary is amazing to work with and she is so talented. Our pictures turned out beautiful and she was great working around our large wedding party and even larger families.
    I was lucky to be able to experience her work in advance with my sister-in-law's wedding and his family's photoshoot. She was great then and she was great for our wedding too.
    You absolutely should choose Mary! She is incredible!

    Mary Berrien Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much Annie! It’s been such a pleasure to be able to be around your family for so many special life moments- I feel blessed! Your wedding was beautiful, and I’m so happy you love your photos 🥰

    Absolutely Amazing ♥️

    Mary did an amazing job capturing every single detail, smile, tear and laugh. She went over and beyond not just as a photographer but as a genuine person, From helping me not faint to getting the wedding organized. I absolutely recommend her ♥️

    😭😍
    Thank you so much Autumn! I loved being a part of your beautiful wedding by the river! Your little boy added so much joy, and I’m so glad I could be of help when you almost fainted in your dress! I hope to see you guys again!! Big hugs!

    Amazing!!!!!

    Mary was absolutely incredible! She is such a genuine and wonderful person and so easy to work with. She stuck with us throughout all of our changed wedding plans because of Covid and didn’t skip a beat. We’re so happy with our photos and so happy we had the opportunity to work with her. 12/10 recommend!

    Simply the Best

    I don't even know where to begin!
    Mary Berrien went above and beyond the call of duty to capture our wedding.

    The wedding we had originally planned pre Covid was a 300 person affair with guests traveling from all over the world; but when a global pandemic changes your plans you have to adapt. It turned into a backyard event with 15 guests and countless others on zoom - Mary was there to capture every wonderful moment for us.

    Mary came highly recommended from an old friend who really helped us out in our hour of need. When plans continued to evolve due to the changing tides of the restrictions Mary rolled with the punches and continued to be a fantastic person to work with. Changing locations back and forth and back again didn't phase her in the slightest.

    She was a joy to work with and took a couple who usually doesn't take great pictures together and gave us some amazing memories we'll cherish forever.

    Whenever we are able to celebrate how we originally planned, Mary Berrien will be there again to capture those moments as well.



    Mary Berrien Photography's reply:

    Brian!!
    You’re killing me 😭😭
    It was SO fun to work with you and Leah. You were genuinely one of the kindest, most easy to work with couples ever.
    I can’t wait to see you for your big party when we can!

    Mary is Amazing

    We are so happy we chose Mary to do our elopement pictures. She was very accommodating and kind. She made two people who feel awkward in front of the camera feel comfortable and she got so many amazing pictures. She caught so many moments in the day that we’re glad to be able to look back on forever.

    Mary Berrien Photography's reply:

    Kelsie! Thank you so much ☺️
    I had so much fun at your beautiful elopement in Sisters. You and Cole were so sweet together, and I’m excited for your future!

    Fun amazing time with Mary,

    Mary was incredible!! She did my senior photos, family photos and I knew she was going to take my wedding photos!! She was there early, had so many good ideas and shots. What’s so sweet about her is that she’s always willing to take ideas from you! Super sweet lady and the photos turned out SO perfect I look at them at least once a week!! Thank you so much Mary!

    Incredible

    No review will ever do Mary justice. She took the most breathtaking photos of my wedding. It’s very intimidating choosing a photographer for your big day. These are what you have to look back on forever and ever. I am completely blown away and the photos take me right back to my special day. She was so professional and great at getting everyone together and in place on time. I give her a lot of credit for making the day as smooth as it was. I am so thankful for the recommendation of Mary Berrien Photography. I HIGHLY suggest her. 💕

    Love love love her!

    I found Mary through another wedding planning app and thank God I did! She was so wonderful to work with from getting a quote all the way until the end of the wedding day. The photos she took are so beautiful and capture the emotions so perfectly from everyone there! My new hubby and I hate getting our pictures taken but she made it such a fun experience! I can't wait to get all of the pictures back.

    Beach Elopement

    Mary Berrien was the BEST photographer, I would not change a thing! She is very talented and captured the passion, emotion and love that we shared on our special day. She took the time to get to know us before the wedding and helped us to plan for the scenery and weather. She made our beach elopement truly unforgettable!

    Very pleased - flexible, creative, discreet

    Mary listened to what we wanted to remember from our day and was well prepared on the day. She captured wonderful memories from getting ready, the ceremony and the reception afterwards. She was so discreet, but it was a joy to have her with us. Mary was flexible and truly interested in giving me the best possible experience and photo results.

    Thank you so much for your trust in me, in allowing me to be a part of your special day. It was truly my pleasure! I hope to see you again soon!

    Practically Perfect in Every Way

    Mary took our wedding photos and now has taken our family photos. For our wedding she was calm while also taking charge to keep things moving with a big wedding party. She selected perfect venues and locations for exquisite shots. She also knew how to get great photos of my camera shy husband.

    fast forward to our family photos.. With 2 toddlers with VERY short attention spans she was able to capture a plethora of adorable photos. She suggested to take them in our home and I Couldn't be happier with the outcome. Thanks to Mary, we finally sent out a chirstmas card.

    10/10 would recommend!

    And thanks for having me back to capture some moments with your sweet family. ‘In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun’. Definitely true in the case of spending time photographing your family 🧡
    Hope to see you again soon.
