Mariana was so good to work with, and her pictures are stunning! She did such a good job managing our family and bridal party to get all the right shots and even helped direct my h...
usband and I when we felt awkward or out of place. She was such a good hype woman, making me feel so beautiful and even helped fix my makeup after I cried during my private vows. The boys worked with Bryan in the morning and had nothing but great things to say about his sense of humor and ability to make them feel calm and relaxed. We would 100% recommend Mariana & team for any of your wedding photography needs!!
Mariana was great! I loved working with her. I personally am not great with professional photos and it feels uncomfortable to me, but Mariana helped pose me explain what would look...
natural and helped me feel better. She did great running around all day behind the scenes and even when I disappeared at times and she couldn't find me she always knew where to look! She helped pose my family and bridal party and she was just great. She was professional and I loved the pictures she made. She captured our beautiful day for what I felt was a fair price for the time she dedicated to the day and experience she has. She helped look through the timeline once we got closer and gave her opinions based on her experience. She was so friendly and easy going.
I am not sure where to even begin - if I could give 10 stars I would. We were so fortunate to find Mariana and had the honor of her presence at our wedding as our photographer. S...
he was incredibly professional from the start, and took the time to listen to all of my needs (several times!!) & captured all the moments of our special day. She was on time as promised, always communicated & responded, was dressed perfectly for the occasion and was such a pleasure from start to finish! Her prices are UNBEATABLE and the turnaround is equally impressive. She shared her insight & ideas and gave us a beautiful way to thank our guests through her table dash collage. I have and will continue to recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer and can't wait to use her for future events. Thank you again for making our day even more magical!
We worked with Butterfly Photography for our March 2025 wedding and are so happy we did. Mariana is wonderful to work with, and captured our day so beautifully. Formals felt daunti...
ng because like many people, my husband and I aren't in front of the camera often, if at all. She made us feel completely comfortable, and got some incredible shots. She was able to capture our day without being intrusive. The candids are so fun to look back on, as they really capture the day perfectly. She also suggested doing a "Table Dash" during the night which allowed us to get pictures with all of our guests. I was a bit nervous for how it would work out but we trusted her and are glad we did. It was a blast, and we have pictures with all of our guests that we were able to print out and use in our thank you cards. Guests raved about the experience, and getting that memory sent to them, which would have not been possible without her advice! Not only that, but Mariana was quick to deliver our sneak peek, and delivered our images to us promptly. Would recommend to anyone!
Very professional, gave great direction, and took amazing photos. Mariana really helped capture the day.
Amazing service and quality photos! We just got married this past weekend and Mariana was great to work with. She already sent us a couple sneak peek photos and they are beautiful....
We appreciated her direction and honest feedback throughout the day. Plus her pricing is so reasonable. Would 10/10 recommend!
Mariana is a true gem. From our initial calls, to the very end when she gave me a big hug before leaving, we are so happy that we found her. She should be charging so much more. If...
you can secure her for your big day, DO IT. We felt so comfortable throughout this experience not only because Marina was approachable, but because she was instructive and direct. My bridesmaids and groomsmen kept raving about how they were never stressed because they knew Marina would pose their hands, face, body language, eyes etc. I’m big on symmetry and aesthetic and our photos are so well planned and framed. I am SO thrilled with them. When 7 groomsman had glasses on and hand in pockets, she’d make sure the 8th was mimicking them too. Our couple photos were AMAZING. I’m not super photogenic and I felt so beautiful in every single one. She felt out our personalities and adapted to them. She knew I was super particular and made the whole night about US. She wasn’t afraid to interrupt a conversation when she knew there was a beautiful sunset outside and we’d look great in front of it. She was also there every single time I turned around, which is hilarious because my husband said “no, she was following ME around.” The fact that we both felt in the spotlight all night even when we were apart, means Mariana is so incredibly thorough in her work. We got our sneak peek photos back INSANELY quick, and even as busy as she was, she still got all 900 of our photos back to us in a very reasonable timeframe. I’m so happy to have these perfect memories forever.
We are so happy with our choice to book Butterfly photography. We have never really been good at taking pictures, and Mariana picked up on that immediately and was exactly what we ...
needed. She is incredibly nice and personable, and helped us relax and get comfortable with the process of taking hundreds of photos. I can't imagine having a better person for the job on your wedding day.
The photos came out AMAZING, and she made sure to get every single variation and location that we asked for. I highly recommend booking Butterfly Photography for your wedding!
Mariana is AMAZING - a true miracle worker, very talented photographer, and a wonderful and kind person. She did my family portraits and I was SO HAPPY with the entire experience ...
from the initial inquiry stage, to photo shoot day, to the review of our finished photos. Highly recommend butterfly photography ❤️
I truly don’t know how to put into words how amazing our photos came out. Mariana was absolutely amazing. She is so reasonably priced and she has a great turn around time. Not to m...
ention we got over 750 pictures back. I keep looking at our pictures and I get to relive our wedding day all over. I had asked Mariana if we could do a particular shot, our venue had a loft that over looked the dining room, so I wanted yo get a group photo of everyone. Mariana, did not hesitate, and truly captured one of the best photos we certainly will cherish forever. She is absolutely amazing, super nice and personal. Highly recommend her and her work! Thank you so much Mariana!
I am so grateful for Mariana at butterfly photography! We got married at Foxwoods casino & had the request for only indoor pictures! Mariana scooped out the casino looking for the ...
best place for everyone to take pictures! She is incredibly hands on when it comes to posing for pictures making sure everything looks perfect & her attention to detail did not go unnoticed! She advocated for me (the bride) for what I felt most comfortable doing which was very appreciated! Her professionalism& communication throughout it all helped immensely with the chaos of planning a wedding! I will recommend Butterfly photography to everyone!
My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Mariana for our wedding a few months ago, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the results! Something we really loved was how she...
helped us throughout the day with how/where to pose for a photo, or she would grab us for a photo when she had a vision of something that would look nice. Her attention to detail and keen eye for composition are truly exceptional, resulting in a stunning collection of images that beautifully tell the story of our special day.
Throughout the entire process, Mariana was incredibly organized and responsive. The turnaround time for receiving our photos was impressively quick, and the quality was outstanding. The clarity, color, and emotion captured in each image were beyond anything we could have imagined. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had her as part of our special day!
Mariana was the BEST! She was professional while making us feel totally comfortable in front of the camera (which isn't natural for us). Couldn't have asked for a better person to ...
capture our wedding day!
I have been telling anyone who will listen about our amazing experience working with Mariana. My husband and I don’t know how and where to pose for photos. She told us exactly what...
to do and our photos are beyond what we had hoped. Our wedding parties are even raving about their photos. We are so grateful that our day is forever beautifully captured. Thank you so much!!!
Mariana was excellent at our wedding. We are so pleased with her work. She is responsive, adaptable, and has an excellent eye for photography. We got married on a farm and we weren...
't sure which parts of the property would look best for photos. Mariana took the reigns with locations and posing us and the pictures we've seen so far are gorgeous. She was calm and direct which helped us during couples shots and also when helping all of our family members pose for group shots. She sent us a sneak peek not even 24 hours after the event completely unprompted and it was so wonderful. We look forward to seeing the full batch. I can't recommend her enough!!
We highly recommend working with Mariana! She is professional, experienced, and kind. She makes the whole process seamless and made our day so smooth and timely. She was very flexi...

Mariana was incredible! She was so helpful with everything for our day. The pictures came out beautifully and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you so much for all of your help Mariana!
Working with Butterfly Photographer was an amazing experience! She listened to all my ideas and even offered suggestions when I couldn't think of places to have our engagement phot...
o shoot at. She was able to accommodate our engagement photo shoot on the 4th of July and got our photos to us within a couple weeks. For our wedding day, she arrived right on time and even suggested we go to a local park so our wedding photos would look beautiful and memorable as our venue didn't really have greenery for our photos. We received our wedding photos exactly one month after our wedding and they are absolutely stunning! I can't thank Butterfly Photography enough for her beautiful work, communication, understating and timeliness. I would definitely recommend her!
We hired Mariana for our wedding which just happened on October 23 2021. She is very responsive, friendly and the prices are very good. She is reliable and even let my 3 year old ...
grandson hold her camera with her to take a few pictures. I can't wait to see the pictures when they are ready. I trust she will do a fantastic job with them.
