Couldn’t have wished for a better photographer!

Maria was top notch from start to finish; from our first meeting, I knew there was no sense in even interviewing another photographer, she was personable, funny and professional. Before the wedding, she even went above and beyond - not living in NC, she even helped us scout a location so that we could fill out our beach permit! Our wedding day was perfect, and Maria captured every minute beautifully; she knew exactly how to position us for stunning portraits. I cried when I received our preview, and was even more stunned when the entire collection came through!

We are in the Outer Banks often as we have family in Avon, and we will 100% be hiring Maria again for family portraits in the future - I wouldn’t want to be photographed by anyone else!

Couple photoshoot at OBX

One of the best photographers we got an opportunity to work with. We booked a beach couple photo session and pictures exceeded our expectations. Maria not only directed the poses, she just made us look gorgeous. It was an amazing experience. I would highly recommend her👍🏻👍🏻 She’s just so good at what she does. Now we have a gallery to cherish and be obsessed with. The next time we are in OBX would love to and would work with her again.
