Mariana Calderon Photography

ke we just clicked, and every conversation after that put me at such ease about the whole wedding planning process. Before we'd even signed a contract, Mariana had devoted time to researching our wedding day, letting me know what time sunset would begin and when I should start hair and makeup. Mariana knows exactly what to do to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera, making you more "you"—not what a bride and groom "should" look like. Her pictures are dreamy and candid, while still including the classic shots your parents will want to hang up. She's punctual, creative, and has the best attention to detail, something that comes in handy during the planning process and is evident in all the photos you get. (Speaking of which, she was sending us sneak peeks less than 24 hours after the wedding!) When Mariana says her couple matter to her, she really means it. I feel like I walked away from the wedding day with a new friend—plus hundreds of photos that I'll treasure forever.

had some great ideas for poses while still considering our style and vision for our wedding! We absolutely loved working with her and would recommend her to others looking for a photographer for their special occasion!

he made us so comfortable, and not to mention she made us look amazing! I cannot wait for her to take my bridal photos because she is seriously THE BEST! She goes above and beyond to make your photo dreams come true, she is a true gem!

most down to earth photographer, and makes you feel so comfortable even though you may be camera shy. Our engagement and wedding photos were everything I envisioned. She is very detailed and gets to know you personally. Our family and friends absolutely loved her too! It was a pleasure having Mariana be part of our wedding! We look forward to working with Mariana again and have her capture our special life moments.

by our wedding coordinator. At first we were a little apprehensive about hiring someone without being able to meet them in person (we moved from CA to CO) and knowing that we wouldn't see them until the wedding, but Mariana squelched all our fears and concerns. She had multiple phone calls with us, took the time to learn about our love story, ask questions about what type of photos we wanted and help allay our fears about being in the spotlight for an entire day. Flash forward to the wedding day, and Mariana's personality, skill and friendliness won us over from the start. Her passion for photographer is clear, but her ability to connect with her customers is what makes her a cut above the rest. Mariana, thank you for making our wedding day amazing - we love the photos!

e and her second shooter captured our day perfectly - everyone who has seen the gallery has raved about it, and we could not be happier with how many amazing shots they delivered. We started out looking for a photographer who could capture joy, colors, and candid moments, and Mariana did all of that and more! The hard part will be figuring out which are our favorites to print, frame, and share on social media - we are spoiled for choice!

emed to be endless research, we knew we wanted to hire her after our first phone conversation. She was sweet, helpful, thorough and extremely professional. Once on site, Mariana’s approach of just blending in with our guests and capturing candid moments was exactly what we were looking for. Our wedding pictures are stunning. The shoot yielded absolutely beautiful shots that show our personality, as well as toddler’s (which was not easy!) She is also unbelievably easy to work with, both in setting up the shoot, the day of, and when she delivered the images. She is super responsive over text and email. She even sent some gorgeous teasers via text the day after. In person, Mariana is really kind and friendly. All of our guests felt very comfortable with her, to the point that she felt like a wedding guest herself. End-to-end, we couldn’t have had a better experience, nor have we ever seen a better set of wedding photos. I couldn’t recommend Mariana more!

ping it fun and encouraging us to enjoy the moment. She was willing to go the distance to capture the settings we requested by visiting and familiarizing herself with the venue before the wedding day. We would highly recommend Mariana to anyone and everyone looking for a photographer for their wedding day, and will definitely contact her for any other photography needs we may need in the future.

ove for each other. She captures all the right moments show cases your true love through the images. I am already so in love with the photos i have so far i can't wait to see the rest. She is so talented and easy to work with. She doesn't over direct you but helps direct you the perfect amount so you feel comfortable and guided. I will always use her for all future photo needs.

t to know us as a couple. That way, when it got to be time to take the pictures, we felt totally comfortable with her. Not like anyone couldn't feel comfortable with her; She is such a kind, positive, and energetic person! We were very pleased with how the engagement pictures turned out. I highly recommend her!

made our engagement photos seem like something out of a fairytale. She made us feel so incredibly comfortable in front of her camera and we had such a wonderful time with her! She sent us some sneak peak photos in less that 24 hours, and they moved us to tears. We can’t stop looking at the pictures!!!

fortable in front of the camera. She was one of the first to arrive at the venue and captured every moment, from getting ready, all the little details that she put together herself, to make sure we got all the bridesmaids, groomsmen, family photos, the private intimate first look moments, all the way up to dancing into the night! From what can be a busy and chaotic process, she made everything so natural and easy. I am beyond thankful Mariana shot our wedding and will have these photos and memories to hold on to for a lifetime.
