About this vendor
Been shooting professionally for 15 years. Learned my craft in Hollywood. Shot for magazines including Entertainment Weekly, People and ESPN. I apply my knowledge and editorial skill from shooting celebrities in LA to shooting brides on their big day. The goals are the same. One, always make the star look good, and two, capture beautifully-lit moments to tell a story that is compelling and memorable. Simply put, I make brides look smoking hot on their big day, cause which bride doesn't want that?

Marla and her team are true pros! I was a bridesmaid in a wedding Marla photographed and when it came to my own wedding, she was my first choice. Not only are her photos beautiful, but Marla is easy to work with, offers great advice and makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. Though not explicitly her job, she’s also fantastic at helping you set, and stick to (!) a realistic timeline for the day.
Our wedding and engagement photos are spectacular! Marla was able to capture the beauty of the moment and our unique personalities and the resulting images we’ll treasure forever. Would 10000% recommend.
Marla and her team were absolutely amazing. We chose them because their award winning work speaks for itself. They are wonderful at using lighting for their photography. The day of our wedding was rainy and dark but I knew I had nothing to worry about because our photographer was such an experienced professional with lighting. She made us laugh during the engagement shoot and on the wedding day. She helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera and got amazing shots. She did an awesome job working with our wedding planner to get all the family portraits we wanted in the limited time we had.
We had the most incredible experience with CakeKnife Photography by Marla at our wedding. I’ll be honest I’ve been following her images for years because they are striking so having her come to our wedding was really a dream come true. Marla and her team were not only professional, but also kind, responsive, and incredibly flexible. They made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. What amazed me the most was how well Marla and her team handled a medical emergency that occurred at the wedding, ensuring that it didn't overthrow the flow of our special day. Despite the unforeseen situation, she managed to capture breathtaking images as if nothing had happened. She came fully prepared to shoot in any condition. We ended up having a sunset ceremony which turned out beautifully and family portraits when it was getting dark. She was able to capture these moments even with lack of lighting because she was so prepared. On top of her amazing skills, Marla's sense of humor added an extra touch of joy to the entire experience. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer and crew to capture our precious moments. I highly recommend CakeKnife Photography to anyone in search of stunning, top-notch photography services.
Marla, Luke, and Jason were AMAZING. We hate getting pictures taken but Marla made it fun and painless. Everyone complimented us on picking the best photographers.
Marla and her team are without a doubt phenomenal! We had both our engagement and wedding photos done by Marla and her team. The best decision we made was hiring Cakeknife as our wedding photography!! The photos are all absolutely stunning and she makes you feel completely comfortable during shoots! She is an incredible photographer and grasps emotions and people unbelievably well, my jaw dropped when I saw all of our photos, our families and friends are almost as obsessed as we are! I am so glad that we chose this team there is no one I would rather be there to capture our day! Planning a wedding in 2020 wasn't the most fun as we all know, but Marla was always there for us with any changes we had to make and had the best ideas to help with any situation. We had a smaller wedding due to COVID and she captured the most beautiful photos of every part of the short day all while helping everyone stay organized and on time. This is the photography team everyone needs to capture their wedding! We love our photos and the scrapbook she offers is to die for, its stunning in every way and is our favorite thing we have from our wedding day! Bottom line: Hire Cakeknife! This is the team you want!!
Marla and her crew are beyond amazing! They work endlessly to capture the most candid and beautiful shots of the most important day of your life. Could not have asked for a better photographer. Thank you so much!
Marla was referred to us by a colleague for our wedding, and she was the first photographer we looked at. As the groom and amateur photographer, I couldn't care less about colors or flowers, I wanted the best photographer we could find. We kept coming back to Marla's work, looking at other photographer's sites (which of course have their best work), and finding no one that could even come close to matching Marla's quality and vision. I was sold just from the website – her lighting, poses, colors, and composition were second to none, but it was important that my (now) wife got along with her. Marla took the time to sit down with us and discuss more than just photography, she wanted to get to know us, let us get to know her, and make sure it would be a good fit (in addition to explaining the process and timeline and other business stuff). My wife loved her, and we hired her on the spot not only for our wedding, but two engagement shoots. Her work speaks for itself, but we are more than thrilled with our photos, and the time spent with her was also a blast. She kept it fun, yet was always the consummate professional, did well at being invisible when you didn't want a photographer in your face, and wrangling people for a photo when necessary. Our friends and family loved her, and I don't think the day of could have gone better, making spur-of-the-moment decisions when the rain came during photos that turned out to be some of our favorite shots. Her communication was perfect, and timing was, if anything, delayed by us. The biggest problem was narrowing down the photos to be included in the album – we couldn't decide because they were all that good – and she told the story of our wedding perfectly. We were lucky to have Marla, I promise you will be thrilled with your decision to hire her.
One of the most important decisions that has to be made for your wedding day is what photographer to go with. The photographer is in charge of capturing those special moments and truly putting together an amazing time line of your special day. I was referred to CakeKnife Photography by my makeup artist who had personal experience with this company with her own wedding. I looked at her pictures and photo album and fell in love with the creativity of the photos, the use of lighting unlike the traditional wedding photographer, and the way she really captured the moment.
Upon speaking with Marla for a consult prior to booking, owner of CakeKnife Photography, I felt very comfortable with her and she was very thorough in asking me what exactly we wanted. The day of the wedding she was very professional while at the same time so personable with my friends and family. We felt like she was one of the group which made the tiresome photo taking process that much easier. Her energy and dedication was seen though all of the images she captured.
Another thing that I liked about her is that she was very timely in her delivery of all of the wedding pictures. My friends and family love the website that she set up that allows you to log in with a password and see all of the pictures. I will definitely use CakeKnife Photography in the future when we have our first child's baptism and I would suggest their services to anyone. Spectacular job and a pleasure to work with!
Marla was absolutely wonderful, I cannot say enough positive things about her and her work. From our initial meeting, to the engagement session all the way to the wedding she was an absolute pleasure to work with. I told my husband from the 1st time we saw her work that she is would make us look amazing and she did just that. Her technique, use of lights, ability to capture that perfect moment, and just overall professionalism was stellar! I am beyond pleased with our pictures and feel so blessed that we have these to look back on for a lifetime. If you are looking for someone to capture those special moments, make you feel and look beautiful and give you the greatest gift beautifully captured memories of your wedding Marla with CakeKnife Photography is you girl. Choosing to go with Marla was the best decision we made. Trust me, when the day is over and you can’t remember all of the details or even piece the day together Marla’s pictures will remind you just how magical the day was. You will be thankful and proud that years from now you can look back on these photos and relive that special day over and over again!
We are so happy that we decided to go with CakeKnife Photography for our wedding. Marla and her assistant were truly able to capture the emotions of the moments throughout the day and night. They were professional and fun to be around. My husband and I are very pleased with the overall quality of the prints. We highly recommend CakeKnife Photography.
If you are looking for a photographer that will make you and your wedding look absolutely amazing, then Cake Knife Photography is the way to go. She is professional and friendly and makes everyone feel comfortable. Her photos are unreal! I have gotten nothing but compliments on the photos from our wedding. She is unbelievable!! I am in the wedding industry and will be recommending her to every bride!

Marla did an outstanding job! She was working with a restricted budget but managed to produce photos beyond my expectations. Her pictures are a mixture of formal and informal capturing the feel an personality of the wedding! The shots are beautiful and carry the emotion of the day. Her professionalism and friendliness were the perfect match for our special day.She was willing to meet with me ahead of time and even afterwards and was responsive to my vision for the day.I will use her again!
Marla was amazing at chronicling not only the visual aspects of our wedding, but capturing the feelings as well. Being able to look through our wedding album and not only remember, but relive the moments that meant so much to us is extraordinary.
I knew once I saw Marla's portfolio I was going to be happy with how my wedding pictures came out. But I didn't realize HOW happy. She went above and beyond to capture everything I wanted and more. It's always nerve racking having a new person at the most important day of your life, but Marla fit right in. All of my guests enjoyed talking with her and working with and and said she was such a pleasure. Never got in the way of guests trying to also take pictures. She really helped a typically stressful day not be stressful at all! I would highly recommend her for any shoot that needs a true professional! I will definitely be using Marla in the future for family shoots. She is truly extraordinary!
