Beautiful photos plus a fun and nice human!

My partner and I had very little opinions about our wedding other than we wanted our photos to be good. Everyone's preferences about style are different, but we found ourselves nit-picking some of the first vendors we looked at because the people didn't look like themselves. Thankfully, we found Marie; when we looked at her website, we knew she was who we had been waiting for, from her sample galleries to her "about me" section of her page. Before we booked her, we had a chat for over an hour about our wedding but also just about ourselves. She is a gem. For our engagement shoot, she took two awkward people who had never been photographed, made us feel comfortable, and produced STUNNING photos. Before our wedding, she made sure our shot list was inclusive of everything we wanted to capture. On our wedding day, she arrived early and made the whole day feel easy, fun, and not forced. Her second shooter, Christina, was just as lovely as Marie. We even had Marie drive her first golf cart (and not crash)! We put our trust in her about what the best places to shoot were and what the posts should be and WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED. She also worked great with our videographer and even asked us day-of if there were any last-minute shots to capture before she left. Her work speaks for itself but booking Marie means you will get a genuine and kind person on the other side of the camera.

Engagement Session

Marie did an engagement shoot for my fiance and me and we could not be happier for how the pictures turned out! We were on the beach for almost two hours and got to take pictures in a few different places for some variety. She was very helpful in making the pictures seem fun and playful and less staged. She was super flexible and easy to work with and would definitely use her for our wedding if it was in California! I would recommend her to anyone for any photography needs you may have!

Wedding Photography

Marie was beyond amazing on our day! After our initial photography company filed for bankruptcy, we had to find a replacement. We couldn't be happier with Marie! Losing that first photographer was a blessing in disguise. We are both so grateful to you for your wonderful photography, your kindness and your patience. Everyone at the wedding was saying how great she was, and she kept us on schedule while managing to take amazing photos even though it rained a little on our day! Thank you so much!!

Capturing authentic love stories for heart-centered couples.

We believe in the power of human connection - in authentic moments shared with those we love. We believe in the power of positivity and choose joy intentionally. We also believe representation matters, black lives matter, and pronouns matter (mine are she/her). We believe water is life and mother earth is hurting. We believe that god is love and love is love. That everyone, of any ethnicity, gender, age, size or faith is worthy of love - of celebrating and sharing love. Not only are you invited and welcome, but we are honored to help you tell your story.

Marie has such a talent for photography, and a super contagious energetic soul. She would work through the wedding day without hesitations and would make beautiful photos of it. Marie is very professional and considerate with other vendors. And what I love the most is that she would go above and beyond for the clients to make them feel comfortable in front of the camera. I'm grateful, and happy I found her to help me out during busy wedding season.
