Maria Alexander Media

Working with Maria was a once-in-a-lifetime experience! The images she creates are not only outstanding but genuinely investable! Timeless, elevated, and something you want to come back to again and again. Maria has a rare ability to make you feel completely at ease in front of the lens, and it shows. The photos feel effortless and authentic; you never worry about looking awkward, overly posed, or “not like yourself.” Somehow, she captures your character, your excitement, and your essence in a way that feels deeply personal. These are, without question, some of the most flattering photographs I’ve ever had taken, and I say that as someone who is very critical. Working with Maria is an experience in trust, artistry, and feeling truly seen. Her work has been featured in notable publications, yet she never once leads with her success. Her confidence is quiet, and it’s entirely backed by the quality of what she delivers.

We chose Maria before we picked our venue. My fiancé and I agreed photography was the most important of all vendors. My maid of honor did a lot of research, narrowed down to 30 local photographers. We played a game with her research, she copied and pasted over 100 wedding photos from each of their sites and I was looking at hundreds of random wedding photos in a word document. Three photos really stood out to me. I knew whoever shot these images I would have to decide between to be our photographer. Turns out all three were Maria’s shots! I took my mom along the first time I met Maria. We were both in awe of her work and who she was as a person. When I saw her prints I secretly thought to myself, “Wow could I really have a beautiful image like this with my husband and I in it?” It seemed unimaginable! A lot of artists you meet may have amazing work, but lack of personality. Not only is her work stunning, she gives off the best vibes. When you meet people with a good heart who are loving life, everything around them is that much better. Why would you not want someone like that shooting your special day when you are surrounded by everyone you love? Her energy enhances everything and she will make you laugh so much! Maria will never get in the way, she is a photo-ninja. Turn your head, she’s on a roof for a better angle. There is nothing rude about her- even when you have a family member trying to get the best angles & cutting her off, Maria makes it work in a pleasant way. She will help you with questions beyond photos for your big day-she has a lot of experience and literally knows everything about weddings! She was pretty much our coordinator. Her team is filled with laughter, smiles and are good genuine people. Your husband will actually enjoy your photo time together! And to me, the best part of booking Maria is that you will have someone on your special day who truly sees and appreciates the beauty in everything- but the best part is that she captures it!
