“There are a lot of very stressful things about planning a wedding, but once you've selected Mariana for your wedding (and engagement!) photography, you know that's one thing you certainly won't need to worry about. I found Mariana through an industry recommendation, and it was an absolute pleasure working with her from start to finish. First off, her pricing is incredibly reasonable (after looking at a lot of different photographers, her pricing was hands-down the best deal out there). She is also so responsive, she will never leave you waiting on her when it comes to questions, scheduling, etc. Plus, she's helpful in so many different ways, offering recommendations for other vendors, since she lives in the Napa area and knows a lot of people in the industry.
It goes without saying that her photography is fantastic - she knows how to capture all the fun moments, as well as the serious ones, and was a huge help in determining where exactly we would take our photos for the best background, lighting, etc. But perhaps the best of all is her general attitude and personality - you won't find a nicer, more energetic person who makes the whole photographer process (which can be awkward in the beginning!) so much fun. She kept my entire bridal party laughing the whole time, and kept everyone organized (while maintaining a calm demeanor) that helped keep the entire wedding on time.
I feel very lucky to have found Mariana and have had her involved in my wedding day. I would recommend her to anyone (and have done so with many friends!) so reach out to her today before she books up!” - Natalie
