    Professional, knowledgeable, and gorgeous photos!!

    We got married August 2 of this year and we are so happy Marviel was our photographer. You will seriously not be disappointed. We haven’t seen all the photos yet but what we’ve seen so far is jaw dropping!!! She knows what she’s doing that’s for sure. She’s done our engagement photos too so we knew the photos would be wonderful. She’s very detailed and captured every moment we wanted. She knew angles and directed us which I absolutely loved. We highly recommend her and we will forever use her for future photo shoots or family photos. Thank you for capturing all the special moments.

    Marivel is amazing! She picked a great location for the winter engagement shoot and helped us with posing, yet truly let us show our personalities and captured our love for each other. Before the session I was hoping to have Pinterest worthy photos and she delivered! Marivel is so talented and I will use her for future shoots. I was concerned about styling for the shoot but she helped me every step of the way (and didn’t get annoyed when I sent a million outfit pictures). She responded in a timely manner to every message I sent and even sent a preview photo the next day. I even received all my photos from the shoot back in 9 days— 5 days before she said she would have them for me! Would recommend to anyone. You can tell she loves what she does, and she produces great work because of it! If photos are important to you, I highly recommend Picture Marvelous!

    Lovely Engagement Photo Session

    It was a great experience getting our engagement shots with Marivel! She took time to understand what we wanted, like having snow and trees in the background, etc. During the session, she guided us on how to interact with each other, in a way which felt very fun and natural. She had a good balance on when to let us be ourselves, and when to make slight adjustments. It was very fun prancing around in the snow together, would definitely recommend! I also like that the final shots have different light variations for us to choose from. They look very professional.

    I am absolutely in love with our photos Marivel took! She flew all the way to Lincoln, Nebraska for us, and was wonderful! She had awesome ideas for poses and locations to shoot at, and worked in the ideas for pictures that I wanted. Better than I could have imagined.

    We had a great experience with Marivel! She was always very prompt in responding to any questions we had and made us feel at ease. We actually went with her Associates Program to stay in budget and it worked out great. Her associates were really good and easy to work with. I highly recommend this option if you have a specific budget. We got both our engagement (Marivel took the engagement photos) and wedding pictures through Marivel's Associates Program and honestly the pictures couldn't have been better. Marivel was actually able to get a few shots as well and took us to the perfect location for wedding portraits. Overall, we had a great experience and highly recommend her services!

    I thought our engagement pictures were great, but our wedding pictures exceeded my expectations! I am not a photogenic person and my husband does not like a lot of attention either, but you’d never know that from our pictures. Marivel and her assistant were super easy to work with and have a an eye for detail. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.

    If you are looking for traditional wedding photos of you and your loved one and family, go to another photographer. If you want something truly unique that will blow you and everyone you show them to away, go with Marivel! I couldn't have imagined a better collection of pictures from our special day and am so thankful we chose Marivel from Wedding Wire based on reviews. The reviews are true and the results are stunning. All of my family and friends say they are the best wedding photos they've ever seen . Not only was the end result fab, but she was super responsive and accommodating every step of the way. THANK YOU MARIVEL!

    Marivel is wonderful! She is so down to earth and her photography is soft and clear. Marivel did our engagement shoot at Golden Gardens in September. She did an amazing job and caught my fiance and me at the perfect moments on camera. She will be our photographer for our June wedding as well. I am excited for her to be a part of this special event in our lives, and looking forward to what she captures on film ??

    Marivel is great! She is talented and definitely has an eye for photography. She is very responsive and answered my emails within just hours. She was very flexible, especially when I was going back and forth about a second shoot location on the day of our wedding. I decided not to take additional photos with our bridal party and just go with pictures of myself and the groom once we arrived at our venue. Marivel said this was no problem and I'm glad I decided this because I know she got some amazing shots of us.

    Post ceremony outside the church was a little crazy with both our large families wanting to take family photos. I was even overwhelmed haha! But Marivel was professional the entire time and guided everyone where to stand and look. I received "sneak peek" photos from her the day after our wedding and they're beautiful. I can't wait to see the rest in a few weeks!

    Marivel is extremely flexible and easy to get a hold of. She is very professional and responds to any messages in a timely manner, I never have to wait long for any answers to my questions. She is easy to work with, and eve though she did not directly shoot my wedding due to a family matter, she provided me with another photographer friend who was excellent to work with as well. I am very pleased with the pictures that we have been provided with thus far and look forward to working with her in the future!

    Marivel was awesome! She took great engagement pictures and amazing wedding photos! She captured everything I wanted at the wedding, which was great. My husband and I are not super comfortable in front of the camera, but she managed to make us look like we knew what we were doing! Usually I cringe at photos of myself, because I'm over critical, but I liked almost every single picture from the wedding. Everyone who I've shown the pictures to has raved about them. One person said, "They look like they came straight out of a wedding magazine!" Marivel also did a beautiful presentation of the photos to us after the fact, which was fun. We're really looking forward to getting our photo book back!

    Marivel is a fantastic photographer. From our first meeting, she was fun, friendly, and provided everything we could have wanted. We had a great time on our engagement photo shoot and got plenty of high quality shots that we treasure very much. During our wedding, she was there taking shots of everything and was fantastic in both capturing moments and directing people when it came to planned wedding party and family photos. The pictures are gorgeous, and we know we made the right choice for our wedding!

    The ONLY reason I gave a 4.5 for quality of service is just that after the wedding I realized that we didn't get a lot of family portraits, that I wished we had. I was so frazzled day of that I didn't realize we weren't getting pictures of like half our family! I think in the future, Marivel, maybe ask your clients to provide you a set list of who they want pictures of, so that way you can make sure day of that you get all the pics the couple wanted! That being said, you were WONDERFUL to work with! Super friendly, very professional, never in anyone's way! Our pictures turned out beautiful. I would absolutely recommend your services to another couple who is getting married! We still get compliments from people on how our pics turned out! So THANK YOU!

    My fiance and I wanted an outdoor engagement photo shoot because we both love the mountains and nature. We were also looking for the earliest session we could get as the wedding was nearing. Marivel responded to me within hours of contacting her and was available for a session the same week even though it was on a public holiday. She suggested great snowy places for the shoot. Being a nature person herself, she was willing to shoot at the Rattlesnake Lake with us in spite the of snowy conditions on the day. We loved the pictures she clicked and so did our family and friends! We ended up using one of the pictures on our invite.

    In the end, we spent about $800 total for 3 hours of photos at our small wedding. We had no enegagment photos so our wedding pictures were even more important to us. She expressed no interest in meeting with us or even speaking over the phone before our wedding. She just had us fill out a survey online. We did get her to have a phone call though. She seemed to resent the fact she was even there and was not very friendly, which made us uncomfortable during our photos. She didn’t follow instructions and only got about 3 or 4 blurry pictures of our guests during cocktail hour even though we specifically requested that in the survey and in person. Even the pictures we did get were mainly of people’s backs and blurry. The guests were available for photos during cocktail hour so I am not sure why photos were taken of rose bushes instead. she tried to sneak out and leave 30 minutes early and I asked if she had everything and she said she did so I said it was ok. We didn’t realize she had taken no photos of the cake yet and almost no photos of our guests during cocktail hour. If she had let us know this then we would not have been ok with her leaving early. The cakes were out for pictures if she had stayed until she was supposed to. She should have told us this when we asked if she had everything. We tipped her when she left because we didn’t realize all the details (decorations, cakes, cocktail hour) she missed and trusted she had done her job. It looked like she did minimal editing of our photos after the fact, like no basic cropping. Some of them were just blurry, like photos of our rings. I also believe she has a certain type client she does cater to and we weren’t it. I don’t feel like we got the same experience as other people in these reviews but I hope it doesn’t happen to someone else since you can’t go back and fix it after the fact.
    Some of the photos she did take were good and we are glad to have them.

    Picture Marvelous Photography's reply:

    Hi Karen,
    I am shocked to hear that you feel this way, and I am very sorry that this was your experience. I had a wonderful time at your intimate wedding, and you both, as well as your fun guests, were very sweet and welcoming to me. I did not anticipate that you were feeling this way at all, especially as I did receive a tip from you both at the end of that night when you excused me to head out early. I would never want anyone to feel uncomfortable or treated differently for any reason, and I constantly work with clients of all shapes, sizes, gender, ethnicity, etc and have always loved the opportunity to do so. I do wish that the cake had been out while I was present, and that guests were available for reception photos, however rather than argue with it, in the end what matters most to me is that I apologize for making you feel this way and I am glad to see that you are still able to enjoy the images and share them with family and friends on social media. I truly wish you both the best!
