Mariana was wonderful to work with! We reached out to her on short notice and luckily she was able to accommodate us, as well as talk before the big day to make sure everything ran smoothly. I think she captured the Autumn vibe of our ceremony ...

After Mariana took photos for my best friends engagement in 2022, when the time came for myself to get married and have a Central Park ceremony, I knew exactly who to get. Mariana is an expert in capturing the special moments, both expected and...

unexpected. She captured the beauty of our relationship and stayed true to the classic feel we were looking for. Her photos hit the nail on the head of being both modern and timeless. She effortlessly led us through a variety of fun poses and prompts to get a wide variety of playful, fun-loving, sensual and romantic photos. Mariana is also an expert on working on the fly, navigating a venue like Central Park like it's her own backyard. On the way to meet my partner for our First Look moment, she shot me a text to let me know where to meet us near Gapstow Bridge because foot traffic increased and she instead found the most beautiful nook for us. She graciously worked with various park-goers to get us the best photo spots, and then later quietly moved throughout our ceremony space to get those in-the-moment moments that we'll treasure for our whole life. The work speaks for itself, but the person behind the camera is even lovelier!

Any questions?

which is insane!), and she was SO nice and patient. We got stuck in traffic too, and she used the time to scope out the area and figure out the shots to get, really just such a professional. During the shoot itself she coached us really well, made us feel comfortable and caught our goofy moments. She edited them in less than 24 hours (also insane) and we woke up the next day with GORGEOUS pictures. Even our photographer friend said "wow she did much better than I would have". Just book Mariana, she is not only a warm, kind person but an absolute master of her craft!
