Phenomenal Experience

She was literally the best photographer I could’ve asked for. So professional and her work literally speaks for itself. I’d go with her over and over again.

Maria is the BEST

I could not have picked a better person to work with. From the start, Maria was super helpful in figuring out what coverage we needed for our wedding, and was very flexible when I decided to add additional coverage a few months out. Where Maria really stood out, however, was when things took an unexpected turn. The week before our wedding, Maria and her family came down with an illness and she wasn't going to be able to travel to our wedding. Cue the freak out, right? WRONG!! Before I had the chance to even start thinking about panicking, Maria had already found a replacement that was up to her standards and already had a plan in motion to fill the new photographer in on all our details. On the same call that she broke the news she wouldn't make it, she also filled me in on who would be there instead. The wedding day went by so smoothly and then Maria did a beautiful job editing all of our pictures and even delivered everything to us ahead of schedule. Even in a crisis, Maria was so thoughtful and forward thinking that I didn't have to worry about anything. I am blown away by the job she's done, my only regret was that I didn't get to meet her!

Still Crying

Maria was AMAZING! Our wedding day was pretty unconventional due to COVID. We had to cut back on a lot of the things that we thought we needed, so of course I was panicking and worried about how magical my day would be because it didn't seem like anything would go right. Maria was able to calm all of my worries. She worked with us during this hectic time and she was really the calmest and sweetest person. Because of our timing, we did a first look and when I tell you I was so nervous about what goofy faces or looks I was making. But Maria captured every beautiful moment on my unconventional wedding day. I still cry when I look at the pictures because not only are they gorgeous, she captured moments. Me and my husband cannot thank her enough! If you're getting married, don't miss out on having Maria taking a moment and making it last a lifetime :)
