    Couldn't be happier

    We decided to change photographers halfway through our wedding planning and decided to go with Mariah. It was one of the best decisions we made. Leading up to the wedding, Mariah helped my clueless self to make a timeline and logistics for the photos before and after the wedding and was impressively quick to respond. She helped to make everything run smoothly on the day of and was flexible with the schedule when I was ready too and getting antsy. Her and her 2nd photographer were so nice and went above and beyond to get great shots. Throughout the whole day - from getting ready to the end of the reception - they were constantly clicking away, but they were never annoying or in the way. They caught so many shots that truly captured our personalities and silliness. The icing on the cake was how enthusiastic they were to have a photoshoot with my dog :)

    Amazing! Talented! Experienced!

    Mariah was great to work with! She made a picture schedule and we adjusted as the day went on. She has a great eye for picking backgrounds and how to make every picture beautiful. Would work with her again!

    So anazing!

    We met Mariah at a Bridal Expo in Indy. Being newer to the area and not knowing anyone, my now husband and I were leery about choosing the perfect photographer. We wanted someone who would do an excellent job, was reasonably priced, but most importantly, who made it easy and enjoyable. We found all of that with Mariah. We were impressed with her work and her keen eye. She made the engagement session fun and the wedding photos flowed so easy with her. She became a friend to us. If we could go back and do it all again, we would choose Mariah again and again, hands down! We highly recommend Mariah for all your photography needs!

    Wow!! We booked Mariah for both our engagment and wedding pictures. (And coming from someone who typically hates pictures of themself) let me tell you, they are AMAZING! Not only are her staged pictures incredible, but she has a wonderful eye for those real-emotion cadid shots as well. Professional, dedicated, and courteous. You will not be disappointed!

    Sterling Expression's reply:

    Hi Brooke! You and Rob were amazing to work with. I loved meeting your dogs during the engagement shoot and your wonderful bridal party made the wedding so much fun!

    Absolutely fantastic, everything turned out even better then my expectations. The quality was astonishing. The turn around time after was phenominal. Very quick. We even enjoyed some of the creative touches in photos that really brought out the feeling and captured the real essence of the moment.

    Mariah and Aireauna were amazing to work with for our wedding! I would highly recommend :)

    Sterling Expression's reply:

    Hi Sadie! You and David were amazing to work with. Such a beautiful couple and very fun wedding! Getting rained out isn't so bad when it makes for great picture opportunities. Anytime someone compliments a photo of you, I proudly tell them that they were taken in a bathroom!!! :)

    Mariah was great. I am so happy with how our photos turned out. She was great to work with and had a lot of great ideas for photos. She had a quick turnaround for photos even though it was a busy season. I highly recommend Sterling Expression.

    She was wonderful! The pictures came out gorgeous. She was great with posing and getting pictures that were cute but not cliche or kitschy. She was very flexible with timing and day of ideas.

    Mariah and her assistant were AMAZING. I didn't really know what to expect when we first started talking, but she asked enough questions to know exactly what our style was and was really great at giving us direction along the way. I never thought someone could make it look easy to corral my side of the family when it was time for photos. They're usually so rowdy and loud! :-D My pictures are beautiful and I'm going to love them forever. THANK YOU, MARIAH!!!

    My wife Matilda and I hired Mariah based on a recommendation from a friend. She was around all day and made sure to cover every little thing. She was very nice, very caring for what we wanted and was amazing with her return time. Her price was the best value we found for the beautiful photos we got back.

    Sterling Expression's reply:

    Thanks for the great review Andy and Mati. You are so much fun to photograph!

    Mariah and her extra cameraman were extremely friendly and flexible the whole day. They bent over backwards to get every picture that we wanted taken. They were incredible to say the least. And they worked their butts off and were with us the whole day, from getting ready until the end of the reception. We even did an offsite photoshoot for the bride's side!!

    Mariah is a wonderful, kind, and overall fantastic person! She has a passion for photography like no other and will do everything and anything to get the best shots for any event! She took photos of my hectic family and they came out perfect :) She does well with whatever requests are made, makes sure you have lots of options, and all at a great quality with care. I was also surprised, as many reviews have said, by how fast we got out photos back; it truly shows her dedication to each client's wants. Thank you again, Mariah!

    I would recommend Mariah for all your photography needs. She is fantastic! Not only at weddings but for any event. I used her for family photos as well and I will continue to use her as long as she is available.

    Thank you for the review Cassie! You and Xavier are wonderful and I can't wait to work with you again.

    In all aspects of work, Mariah is not satisfied unless achieving the highest standards. Works relentlessly to improve skills and knowledge, and the quality of work output. A pleasant, outgoing personality who always gets on well with others. Mariah has outstanding artistic skills, bringing creativity and originality to the task. Always succeeds in explaining ideas clearly. Others find Mariah easy to understand. She also has the ability to listen carefully to what others are saying, to understand and then to respond appropriately. Conversations with Mariah are two-way.

    She will always willingly and successfully try to do what is required, even if it means performing tasks that are not in the job description or if required to do extra work unexpectedly. Polite, courteous, respectful and charming at all times and in all situations, without being obsequious. Unfailingly courteous even when dealing with a difficult person or situation. Regularly produces creative, original ideas or plans well-attuned to the needs and capabilities of the organization, and producing clear benefits. Always eager to take on a new task, whether hard or simple, and tackles it diligently, without question or complaint. This positive attitude inspires others too.

    Mariah and her partner are very easy to work with and really pays attention to what style of photographs you want - artistic, etc. Mariah was perfectly willing to travel from Indiana (also where I'm from) to Georgia for the wedding and didn't even charge us extra. Very go with the flow and snapped candid shots whenever she got the chance. She was constantly snapping photos and I barely had to give her any direction. A couple of the finished pictures were a bit blurry or an angle that I didn't find very flattering of myself. 99% of the photos were absolutely beautiful though and we are so pleased with the quality of her work. She was straight forward with the timeline for getting the photos ready for us too. Thanks Mariah!!!

    Sterling Expression's reply:

    Hi Deanna! I loved working with you and Arturo. It was an amazing day catching sun between the storms in Georgia. I try my best to work with requests and decide whether a client would want a certain photo in their final edit even if it was an unflattering candid, maybe because it was a very special moment. I am glad to hear that over all you were happy with our services. Thank you for the review! We love capturing love!
