Maria Crisafulli Photography

a stuck with us for a 2 year engagement that included a postponement not once, but twice- first pregnancy then COVID. She did so in the most seamless and supportive way, and for that I am so grateful!! My husband HATES and I mean HATES having his picture taken. When I told Maria that, I am not sure she knew what she was getting into, and I can imagine it was a creative challenge for her, but guys.............I have wedding photos that make other people jealous. They are stunning. Her editing style is out of a magazine. The images that she captured makes me feel like when I look at us cutting our cake or sharing our first dance 10 years from now, we will be right back in that moment, remembering exactly what we were talking about or smiling about. I cannot say enough good things about Maria-- all around fun-loving, passionate, talented, lover of love. I would recommend over and over and over.

her editing style, but the more I looked at her other portfolios, I loved how natural all of the brides and grooms looked in all of her pictures. None of them looked awkward or forced. After emailing her initially to ask her a couple questions and get some samples, I was totally sold. She answered all of my questions in a professional, timely fashion and always left the door open for me to feel welcome to ask more. I even asked advice on the colors for the groomsmen suits, looking for what might work best with her style of editing and she was happy to walk me through that whole process! Finally, when the day of the wedding came, I was so excited to meet her to finally put a face to the name! She showed up earlier than on time to scope out good shot areas. Throughout the ceremony, I honestly couldn’t even tell she was there, she was so quiet, respectful, and professional. Within two weeks of the wedding, we got a “sneak peek” of 36 incredible photos and within two months of the wedding, we got all 400+ pictures. I honestly can’t even put into words how much I love every single picture. I cried the whole time looking at them because WOW. Just WOW. If you’re in her area, please do yourself a favor and hire her. You will NOT regret it! I can never thank her enough for capturing the most special day of mine and my husbands lives!! THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts!!! <33

board with anything we wanted for our elopement, and even arranged a custom pricing for us based on our unconventional approach. We met Maria in person for the first time on our wedding day, but it felt like we were with one of our best friends. Her photos so perfectly tell our story -- as if she could read through our souls and understand everything about us in one snapshot. And even in the midst of her moving across the country, Maria delivered our incredible wedding album in lightning speed. She is a rare wildflower in a garden of roses, and you would be CRAZY not to have her elope with you too.

our wedding day beyond perfect. I can honestly say without Maria my wedding day wouldn't have been what it was. She went out of her way and got other vendors to help me through the journey of planning our the wedding, and for that I don't know how to ever thank her. Maria is so talented and professional. Always on time and very accommodating when having to reschedule engagement photos. I can't imagine ever having another photographer.

e us feel so confident and made it so easy. She is not only so talented at her craft but she also takes the time to find out about your story and what is important to you on your wedding day. Our photos turned out absolutely stunning and we have so many favorites!! She captured all of our favorite moments and the moments that we did not even know she was around for. Maria also found the time to get all the quality photos she needed without taking away from our time with family and friends, I do not know how she did it all!! It is so clear that she is so passionate about what she does and loves her couples! We love Maria and are so happy with our choice to have her photograph our wedding day!

of the day can tend to be some of the trickiest things and Maria made so many fantastic recommendations to keep the day flowing smoothly and seamless . Aside from all the technical things Maria’s true talent is her artistic eye . She has this way of capturing everything in such a raw and simple way and it just translates magically into the photos . Myself and now husband are usually nervous in front of the camera and being the center of attention and Maria made us feel so confident and comfortable and radiant . We received SO many compliments on our photographers work . People loved the range of photos from invitation and flower details, to the church, to family formals and fun party shots . Anyone who gets to work with Maria on their wedding day is truly blessed ! Would 100% recommend !

ing the day, and emotions, and moments WITH you!!! Thanks to her talent, my husband and I spent an entire evening alternating between laughing and crying as we eagerly poured over our photos and relived the most important and special day of our lives, in a way we couldn’t imagine! Her photos are BREATHTAKING!!! Everyone who sees our wedding photos are just completely blown away and have to ask who our photographer was!!! Most people say they’ve never seen wedding photos as gorgeous as ours!!! ....The details and moments she captured that we missed. ...The moments we hoped she caught, she did. ...The EMOTIONS of our day brought to the surface in the most beautiful way and saved for us to love forever. We couldn’t be happier with the whole process from start to finish. Maria exudes warmth and love. She takes the time and makes the effort to just “get you” as a couple before the big day. She was so comfortable and easy to work with. We feel like we truly made a friend!!! Love her to pieces!!! She is amazing with responding quickly to texts, emails, calls, social media DMs, everything lol! I think we corresponded in every fashion possible! How she handles her website, contract, payment format, etc, are all super professional and easy to navigate. My husband and I loved being able to just do stuff online and on our phones. She’s got it nailed down. She really has an understanding of how weddings work, and how they don’t, and she uses her knowledge to tailor your day in a way that maximizes your time with her. She is prompt, professional, ready to go, and fits in to the day seamlessly. We truly feel like we can’t ever thank her enough!!! We are so grateful for her, and she will forever be a fondly looked back on part of our love story! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!!

day is gets lost on you. As a Bride, I am so grateful Maria captured the details for me so I can forever cherish the beauty of the day. The expressions she was able to capture between my husband and I are moments I thought only we shared together. But she was able to photograph them so beautifully and elegantly that anyone can look at the photos and see the pure joy and love between my husband and me. My husband and I warned Maria that we are not the lovely dovey PDA type so she gave us helpful tips and role playing ideas to help keep us feeling natural while being able to photograph us in more romantic shots. I only received a sneak peek so far, but I can't wait to see all the rest of her work. Worth every penny!

g day in a way I could only dream of. Every single person I show our pictures to immediately tells us we need to submit them to a wedding magazine!! Not only are our pictures amazing, but so is Maria. She's so easy to work with and honestly, we didn't even realize she was there taking pictures of us. She made the whole "picture taking thing" so natural instead of it being work. She made us feel so comfortable and took the time to get to know us, and what made our relationship what it is today. We didn't have a videographer, but just looking through our wedding pictures we can relive the day so distinctly because of how well she captured our entire day. I cannot recommend Maria enough. Amazing isn't a good enough adjective to describe her, or her work!

dding meetings, and of course, punctual for the day of. She created a few detailed timelines for my husband and I to choose from as to how, when, and where our photo coverage would occur. She did whatever (and I emphasize this) was necessary to capture our day. My husband and I are over the moon about the moments she was able to capture, we are literally able to look at the images and feel our love and happiness radiating from them. That being said, it’s obvious Maria is able to feel those feelings my husband and I have for one another, and pour that feeling into her works of art. If I had to choose a photographer again, I would choose Maria without hesitation. Trust me when I say, there are no disappointments when it comes to her work. Oh, and she has the most wonderful, kind, caring, and warm personality.

o make fantastic recommendations about positioning, timeline, etc. She was a much needed mini wedding planner that day. My husband and I are both camera shy and had some major anxiety about being in front of the camera on the day of. Maria considered our uneasiness and was able to make the formal photos a breeze and was able to capture stunning candids. When my husband and I had enough and wanted to get to cocktail hour, Maria urged us to take a few more photos in front of this gorgeous tree. I’ll be honest, at the time I was kind of annoyed but when we received the photos back, I was beyond grateful that Maria took the initiative. Our favorite photo is in front of that tree. Thank your maria!!!

ns her photos spark in us, it's like reliving that moment over and over again. We were so lucky to have found her and she was able to photograph our day! Thank you, Maria. We will treasure these precious moments you've frozen for us, forever.

enough about Maria. We are already scheduling our first anniversary session with her! We love Maria!

top choice — her beautiful, artistic photographs combined with her sweet, fun personality really sold us. On our wedding day she was so great to work with and had a way of getting in the action without being intrusive. If you want photos that look like they are from a top magazine and are ones you’ll want to display for a lifetime, go with Maria! She is incredibly talented and truly a gem. You will not be disappointed!!

myself staring at them all day every day, and I always find new favorites every time I look. You are truly an amazingly talented individual and were a blessing on our wedding day. You have this calming sense about you, that makes you so easy to work with. I felt so confident knowing you were the one to capture our day, which made me much less nervous. I had so many details, that I worked so hard on, and you didn’t miss capturing a single thing! I had a patient the other day that I took care of in the hospital. He was 90 years old. I looked at the end of his hospital bed and sitting on this nightstand was such a timeless wedding photo of him and his wife when they were only 24, so happy and so in love. It was their 65th wedding anniversary, but she had passed away some time ago. I broke down in tears in front of him. I realized how lucky I was to have our wedding photos that you captured, to look back on when we are ninety years old and still so in love just like they were. I think into the future and how some day Matthew and I will be showing our children, and then their children these wedding photos. It gives me the chills thinking about it and being able to show them every detail from our day that you captured so perfectly. You are such an incredibly gifted photographer, and Matthew and I were so lucky to have met you. You are so professional in every aspect. You know when the groom comments that he feels comfortable around the photographer, that you are doing your job right. Because let’s be honest, guys HATE taking pictures. Haha. From our engagement photos, the planning process, everything in between, and then the wedding day, you nailed it! The dream wedding I had in my head was portrayed through your photography perfectly and you went above and beyond. You captured creative details and people’s emotions through beautiful photos. They tell such a wonderful story and take me right back to that magical day every.single.time. We consider ourselves extremely blessed. Not only did we get the most amazing wedding pictures, I also gained a great friend! We love you Maria, you are the best! Never stop following your dreams! We are excited to see what the future has in store for us, and we can’t wait for you to capture many more of our memories as a family! Best, Courtney and Matthew (The Dillon’s)

d out on my wedding day, trying to get everything done and Maria was patient and understanding. And she did one heck of a job!!! I love the way she sees things and people and moments! I love the intimacy and the feeling her pictures have. They tell a story and make you feel something special. Thank you for telling our story so beautifully. We couldn’t be happier. We love you!. �

e we booked, Maria was always quick to answer any questions I had (I think she answered every single email that I sent her within the same day, and often within a few hours), and she met with me any time I wanted to go over the details, which I think we did about 3 times due to questions and changes that came up. She made sure to touch base with us multiple times as our wedding got closer, and on the day of, she was right on time, and getting our photographs with her was so, so easy. She made sure to keep us on schedule to get all the photos that we wanted, but she still made it really fun! And in just under 2 months, we got our photos from her, and we just love them!!! The are bright and colorful and capture so many little moments that happened, like when my grandma (who walks with a cane) danced on her way out of our reception. We couldn't be more pleased. If you have the chance to book Maria, I highly recommend it!

and care towards the bride, groom, and all the wedding party showed right from the beginning. When I got engaged , we chose Maria to do our engagement photos and our wedding coming up this summer. Our engagement pictures were perfect! The first date we picked for our photos ended up being flash floods right before we were going to start. Maria waited in the parking lot with me for an hour to try and wait out the rain on her own time , in hopes that it would pass for pictures. I was upset at first, but she suggested we wait and reschedule for better weather and better pictures in the end. I was so glad for her advice and that she truly cared so that we would end up with what we envisioned. The end product was everything we dreamed of and they were given back to us in a timely manner. She was so fun to work with and was very professional. My fiancé even made a comment when we were done that he felt very comfortable around Maria when she was photographing us (which means a lot because no guys usually loves doing this photo thing). Maria just photographed our wedding in June, and OH MY GOODNESS. The sneak peek pictures we got back blew me and everyone else away. They looked straight out of a bridal magazine. Some of the best wedding photos I ever saw, and they were MINE! I can't say enough good things about Maria as a person and photographer. BOOK HER! you will no regret it, and you will have the best wedding photos to cherish forever!
