We had the pleasure of working with Mara for both our engagement and wedding, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the start, she made us feel incredibly comfortable. She was not only professional but also genuinely friendly, making the entire process enjoyable. One of the things we appreciated most was how well she captured natural and organic moments. Our wedding was quite large, with many guests, and she handled it all seamlessly, ensuring that everyone was included in the photos without missing any important moments. The candid shots of our first dances were particularly special. Communication with her was excellent; she was always responsive over text/phone and even helped us put together the timeline of photos, calling us a few times to ensure everything was perfect. To top it all off, she was quick in delivering our photos, allowing us to relive our special day sooner than we expected.

Mara was such a fantastic photographer. She was very detailed, showed up early, and was sure to get alllll the shots, all the angles, and if she wasn't happy with a shot, she would retake it over again until she was content with her work! She was so sweet, so helpful, and just overall wonderful. We love all of our wedding photos so much. I would choose her again and again!

Mara took our photos for our wedding and we could not be more thrilled with the outcome! She’s highly professional and kept everyone comfortable and timely which is so needed on a busy wedding day! Her pictures captured our day better than we could imagine and I’ll recommend her to any and everyone from here on out.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Mara's work! She did my wedding on Sept 16th, 2017, and she was incredible! During the entire time she was professional, on time, and enjoyed her work! She took gosh knows how many pictures, but was never in the way. Unless we were doing the pictures right after the ceremony or for our individual couples pictures, I never knew she was there. From the preview pictures that I've received to the final pictures, i was not disappointed!!! Her assistant, Peyton, was also amazing! They worked well together and had amazing ideas on where to shoot and what poses to do, we couldn't be happier with how our best day was captured and preserved! I would definitely recommend hiring Mara for any event!!! Thanks again for everything you've done!!!

Mara was lovely to work with from start to finish. We were thrilled when we got our photos back and saw so many candid moments that were beautifully captured. She perfectly balanced candid shots with formal portraits. Mara is kind, approachable, and professional. She gave easy to follow direction to us and our family that resulted in great shots.
