Sarah + Mike

“As I've mentioned to literally anyone who will listen to me, Mariana is an insanely talented photographer and an absolute gem of a human. From our very first phone call, it felt like we just clicked, and every conversation after that put me at such ease about the whole wedding planning process. Before we'd even signed a contract, Mariana had devoted time to researching our wedding day, letting me know what time sunset would begin and when I should start hair and makeup.

Mariana knows exactly what to do to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera, making you more "you"—not what a bride and groom "should" look like. Her pictures are dreamy and candid, while still including the classic shots your parents will want to hang up. She's punctual, creative, and has the best attention to detail, something that comes in handy during the planning process and is evident in all the photos you get. (Speaking of which, she was sending us sneak peeks less than 24 hours after the wedding!)

When Mariana says her couple matter to her, she really means it. I feel like I walked away from the wedding day with a new friend—plus hundreds of photos that I'll treasure forever.” - Sarah
