About this vendor
And I mean it, my job as your photographer is to make you fall in love all over again with your person. That mushy-gushy-butterfly love, that fiery-burning-I can't-live-without-you love. Come wedding day, I will capture the moments that will show exactly that. I like to make my beautiful couples feel like they are just hanging with another friend instead of being bossed around by a photographer. That is how we are going to document those real moments. So, lets get down to it. Visit my website + we will talk the details.

We are so grateful for Mari! Our wedding and engagement photos are stunning. When we struggled with what to do with our hands or how to pose, Mari made it easy and was very helpful...
. Mari has an easy-going personality and she’s insanely talented. Everyone commented at how calm and gracious she was in midst of all the wedding craziness. Thank you, Mari, for the beautiful photos that I can treasure forever!
Mari is like a summer thunderstorm. You know, those big, booming, beautifully terrifying storms with flashes of bright lightning and rain that drowns out everything? To where you c...
an't really see, so you just have to stop and marvel at it? If this kind of storm were a person, it would be Mari.
Mari is so full of vibrant life, so open, and so wonderfully human. All of these aspects of her personality and her heart can be seen in her photos.
I was apprehensive at the thought of having a photographer come to our home to take pictures and I was worried I would look stupid, or feel stupid during the process.
Not with Mari.
She knew exactly how to get those sweet, sweet candid moments, that aren't itchy or staged. She made me feel empowered and I know she made my partner feel the same. She made us feel comfortable. She took time with us and went above and beyond what I ever expected or thought I would receive from a photographer. She became our friend.
I feel like I'm stumbling, but it's hard for me to put all of my gratitude and wonderment into words. I cannot describe how electrifying it feels to look at the photos she took for us and to know that I'm going to love them for the rest of my life. To know that when my partner and I are gray, we will look back at these photos and be able to pinpoint a precious, important time in our lives.
I am so grateful that we will get to remember and see these special moments through Mari's lens.
If you're searching for a photographer for any important time in your life, you've found an unbelievably perfect one in Mari.
I just received all the prints from Mari’s work. We hired her after a long, well researched review.
She is the most artistic, talented photographer I ever worked with. She is extre...
mely professional and easy to work with. In a world where we are invaded with a large number of phone pictures or cheap camera pictures,
Mari distinguishes her self by a superbe quality image taken by a unique artistic eye with an amazing sweet sense of capturing special emotions. I would definitely work with her again, in fact we are booking another session during her travels in California.
Mari is absolutely AMAZING! I knew the minute that I got engaged that I had to have her photograph my wedding. xo
Mari was the absolute perfect photographer for our engagement photos and wedding photography. She was kind, patient, and so sweet throughout the entire process. Mari was quick to r...

We could not have asked for a better photographer! She captured off of the details of our wedding and we know that we will cherish her photos forever. Thank you, Mari!!
Mari is amazing! Her photos capture natural moments and never look posed. My husband and I are not photogenic, but you would never know it from our photos. Mari does a great job gi...
ving her clients exactly what they want. I would recommend to her anyone! I absolutely love every photo she’s taken for us.
Mari and I met serendipitous at our engagement when she was waiting for another bridal party to arrive. Since that day she has been awesome. Her style is more artistic and candid. ...
She's willing to take the "grandma" photos too, which everyone needs! On the day of our wedding, she was very directive (without being bossy) and on top of it. I would definitely recommend.
Mari was amazing to work with. She is so creative and talented. For reals - don't know how she got such amazing pictures of two people who are as awkward and crazy as us (at least ...
we're fun haha). Mari is super professional and captures the best moments of your special day. 5 stars alllllllll day.
Mari is an amazing photographer! We used her for engagement photos and for our wedding. We could not be happier! Mari was professional and fun to work with. She helped both me and ...
my husband feel comfortable. She was easy to work with and loves what she does. Also, her pictures are to die for! I would recommend her to anyone that needs a photographer!
I would highly recommend By Mari Photography as your go to wedding photographer. Her talent and love for photography shows in her work. Her ability to capture the perfect moment in...
time and turn into a true work of art is undeniable. I could go on forever about her talents, but the proof is in her work.
She’s not only extremely talented, but she really livens up the evening and makes everyone feel relaxed and picture perfect. She gives amazing deirection and can make the average joe, like myself, into a model. Seriously, proof is in the pictures because I’m not photogenic AT ALL.
She’s organized and sticks to the schedule; every brides dream!! She meets with you prior to the wedding and lays everything out there in a timeline format, so you feel confident in the photos you’re getting. You do need to do your homework and decide who you want in what photos, so Everyone knows ahead of time that they are needed for photos and when.
Talent, direction, organization, and a love for her job. What more can you ask for!? She is great to work with and I know you won’t be disappointed. Seriously, there’s no denying the talent and raw beauty in her work. I have hundreds of beautiful memories captured in time of one of the most amazing days in my life thanks to Mari.
My husband and I had Mari take both our engagement and wedding photos--and we are thrilled with the results! As a vendor, Mari was wonderful. She sat down with us to discuss her co...
ntract before we signed, she made it clear when payments were expected, and was VERY responsive to my messages/emails. On the day of the wedding, Mari and her second shooter arrived at the venue right on time and led us, our wedding party, and immediate family members through the previously agreed upon poses with ease. The results of our wedding photos were breathtaking! Not only did our posed family pictures turn out wonderful, Mari focused on catching our candid moments and did so perfectly. We were married several months ago and we are still being contacted by family and friends with compliments about the photos. We are so happy to have these photos to share with friends and family for years to come!
We’re blessed to have had her take our pictures, we have had countless complements and inquiries on who took them. We would not of had the best day of our lives taken by anyone el...
se!!
I wouldn't want to work with anyone else for my wedding! Mari photographed the proposal (with ninja-like discretion) and our engagement shoot and made them both so much more enjoya...
ble than I was expecting. My fiancé and I had a blast during our engagement shoot as Mari had us dancing and running on the beach. Her photographs are breathtaking and she has a great eye for perfect lighting and intimate shots, while making you feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera. I've had so many friends asking who our photographer for the proposal was! I cannot wait for her to photograph our wedding, her work is beautiful!!
My husband used Mari for our engagement and wedding photos. There aren't enough words to describe how amazing Mari is. Her attention to detail, creative mindset and passion for wha...
t she does is evident in each and every single picture she takes. Her ability to make shy people comfortable in front of the camera is one of her many strengths, in addition to producing countless breath taking pictures. Her talent for capturing raw emotion from event goers is what makes her photos so beautiful. She uses the couple's venue to her advantage and always finds the best places for unique pictures at all times during your event, no matter if it's raining, sunny or humid. Her turn around time is quick and she is always available to answer questions or concerns. My husband and I are so thankful we chose her to capture our special day and we highly recommend Mari to all future couples!
Mari takes beautiful pictures and is so easy and fun to work with! She did our engagement photos, which we loved, and our wedding day, which she posted a preview of in days and the...
