Our experience with Maria was excellent! We were initially overwhelmed when trying to select a photographer for our interfaith wedding, but seeing Maria’s photos on her website made the decision easy. We really appreciated her style of photography - deep rich colors and focus on the couple. Other photographers seemed to have a lot of strange angles and washed out colors, which we were trying to avoid.
Hiring Maria was a breeze. She is responsive by email and always happy to jump on a call when needed. Part of her package included engagement photos, which were extremely helpful when putting together our save the dates and website. She is intuitive, yet also did a good job of asking us for our preferences to confirm. The wedding day was also a breeze, and Maria documented all of our key moments without being intrusive at all.
Maria’s turnaround times are excellent, and she was never late with delivering sneak peeks or the digital albums.
Finally, we also worked with Maria on the final physical photo album. She was very flexible and allowed us to have multiple rounds of revisions. She was very accommodating even when we wanted to swap out many photos for more preferred variations. It was a lot of work and Maria did not hesitate to help us develop the perfect album.
Overall my wife and I would highly recommend Maria for any event based on our experience working with her for our wedding. Thanks Maria!
Maria was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was very easy to work with, accommodating, and constantly stayed in touch with us to help us get the photos of our dreams! She made sure to answer every question we had right away, even agreeing to get on a phone call/zoom meeting as needed. She takes the time to get to know you, your spouse, and understand your wedding traditions, culture and anything else important to you.
Maria has a unique approach to her photos which I haven't seen before. She is also super patient. For example, my wife and I don't typically like posing for pictures, but Maria was there to guide us and tell us which way to look, where to put our hands, etc. As we got more comfortable in front of the camera, she let us be candid and do our own thing in order to grab truly authentic photos that showcased our love, which made our photoshoot so much more fun! At the end of the day, it felt like we were hanging out with a friend taking photos, rather that working with a professional photographer.
We had a south asian wedding which spanned multiple days. As all south asians may know, our families are not exactly the easiest to coordinate or give instructions to, especially during a wedding. Despite all the chaos, Maria stayed calm, patient and continued doing her thing. She even stayed extra time for some of the events without us asking to ensure we got all the photos we needed.
We absolutely love Maria’s work! At this point, she’s just part of our story in a way... Engagement Photoshoot, Engagement Party, Wedding Reception and Wedding Day. Her work tells a story which we absolutely adore! Highly recommend for capturing candid moments.
I knew when I first spoke to Maria on the phone that she was the right fit to photograph our wedding.
Her journalistic approach to photography is exactly what I was looking for. It's clear to see from her photos that she captures real feelings and emotions. Aside from her creative skills, she is a very kind person to work with also made my wedding day go smoothly. I felt like I made a friend rather than hiring a service.
I don't know how she manages to be everywhere at once, but she was able to capture every special moment that day. I tend to be a very critical person regarding photography since I myself am an amateur photographer. However, there is absolutely nothing I would want to change about the wedding album I received from Maria. You will be so happy if you choose her!
Going with Maria for our wedding photography was the best decision we could make!!! She was super accommodating and really nice to work with. Me and my husband are really not into posing and are super camera shy, but Maria made sure to not make us awkward with all the posing and still covered every minor detail of each ceremony. Be it the wedding rituals or cocktail dinner party, she captured everything so nicely… honestly, when everyone was busy dancing, she used to just sneak in and click and we wouldnt even realize she was around, which was really cool coz she got all the candid shots real nice. Not just us, but all our guests were also super impressed with the way she worked and the pictures were just perfect!
Maria made our engagement ceremony and pre wedding shoot experience an unforgettable one! She guided us through the whole process and everything fell in place better than we could imagine! Her communication was spot on and overall she was very punctual and detailed oriented. All of our memories were beautifully captured in still photographs! Thank you for being a part of one of the most memorable moments of our lives. If anyone is looking to hire a kind soul that absolutely loves what she does as a photographer then Maria is the one! Highly recommend!!
Maria did an amazing job capturing our wedding and she's a pleasure to work with. Although not Indian herself, she was familiar with the ceremonies, rituals, and culture. We appreciated her ability to understand everything that was going to take place and we didn't feel like we had to worry on the day of if everything was going according to plan. She communicated with us what she needed from us and followed through on all the deliverables. Her willingness to make minor changes, go with the flow, and work with our videographer put us at ease. We're so glad she captured our wedding and we can't recommend her enough. The pictures came out so beautifully!
We booked Maria as our wedding photographer based off of what we saw in her gallery and the results did not disappoint in the slightest. Incredibly communicative and a pleasure to work with. Cannot recommend her enough if you're looking for someone to snap some of the best moments in your life.
One of the best decisions my now-husband and I made for our wedding was working with Maria for our photographs. Initially, I loved her photography style from her online galleries, and I liked that she had done a variety of styles and faiths of weddings, including a lot of Indian and multicultural weddings - which applied to us.
We had a fantastic engagement shoot, and Maria was happy to walk all over the city with us and carry our things, all while getting to know us, telling stories, and teaching us how to get comfortable in front of the camera and what to do to get beautiful pictures that looked and felt natural, but that we would never have gotten without her guidance. She stayed in touch over the months until the wedding, and helped us figure out scheduling, talked through timing and plans so we could get the most photos in the most relaxed way, and then was there for our event the day before, and the wedding the following day.
Every moment was great, she and her team are lovely to work with, and every photograph was truly stunning. We then got an incredible photo album and a flash drive. I would hire Maria again in a heartbeat. We absolutely recommend her!
Maria had a natural way and made us at ease on a very busy, overwhelming day. Her professionalism and work product was one thing that we knew we could trust on - having a quality product. Maria went above and beyond and even stayed later to take individual photos with all of our friends. We really appreciated it and our family really appreciated it. Maria also arrived at the venue early and made sure you had adequate time to set up and were very professional. Would definitely recommend Maria for the reasons above and also being a very good sport, having a great collection of work and overall being very pleasant to work with. Thank you!
Maria is an exceptional photographer and collaborator! Hiring her was one of the best decisions we made. We couldn’t be any happier with how the photos turned out - they are better than what we could have even imagined. We highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. You will not regret it! She was highly communicative, efficient, and went above and beyond to capture all the moments of our special day.
We were so very lucky to find Maria and her team. From our first conversation, we instantly connected and she was able to articulate the very vision we had from our photos. She was professional yet personable throughout the entire planning process, right through to the day of. Day of, she blended in seamlessly and was there to capture every moment. Most importantly, she captured the most beautiful moments of our wedding day and her photos tell the wonderful story. We highly, highly recommend Maria and her team.
