Mariana took pictures for our engagement shoot in Central Park, and we couldn't be happier! She guided us through different poses and made us feel comfortable throughout the session. The finished photos were edited really well. She's down-to-earth and great to work with. We will be using her services for our wedding next year, and we highly recommend!
We love Mariana and her photography work! She did an amazing job keeping things light and fun on our wedding day and at our welcome party. She got so many beautiful shots and was a joy to work with. She even overdelivered on her gallery timing and expectations. Highly recommend!
Mariana is amazing! When we reached out to her, she responded very quickly and provided us with all the information we needed. During the actual shoot, she brought us to many different areas in Central Park so we could have a variety of pictures to choose from. We also really appreciated her teaching us how to pose and what positions to take since it was our first time. Most importantly, Mariana made us feel very comfortable posing for pictures and we had a great time!
Any questions?
Choosing Mariana for our special day was one of the best decisions we made! Mariana and her team were absolutely amazing kind, polite, and incredibly talented. They were professional from start to finish, capturing every special moment with such artistry and attention to detail. The photos and video came out absolutely stunning, and we couldn’t be happier with how they captured our day. We’re so grateful for these beautiful memories and highly recommend Mariana for anyone looking for a wedding photographer!
Mariana was such a pleasure to work with! My husband and I did an engagement shoot with her and then decided to have her shoot our wedding as well. We had an intimate ceremony and dinner style “reception” this April (2024). She made us feel very comfortable and we loved the photos she took! I can’t wait to work with Mariana again in the future for major life events :)
My husband and I were delighted to have Mariana as our photographer for our wedding. She was very professional, organized, very kind and flexible. She made us feel very comfortable when taking pictures and guided us with patience, making the process as seamless as possible. She sent us our pictures on time and they are beautiful! Our friends and family loved her work as well. We would highly recommend Mariana for your special day!
Muchas gracias Mariana! :)
My Fiancé and I recently took engagement photos in Central Park with Mariana, and we absolutely LOVE them! Mariana did such an amazing job! She really did a whole lot with our session and she was great at directing us for poses and prompts. She made us feel comfortable and confident. Her style of photography is so elegant and romantic. Her edits only enhanced the photos! The quality is amazing! I highly recommend taking photos with Mariana!
Professional, kind, accommodating, all the best words to describe Mariana! She is the sweetest photographer and the best NYC has to offer. Truly will recommend her to everyone and anyone!
As most couples we were nervous to choose our photographer, but as soon as we first spoke to Mariana, we knew we would be in great hands. She was very easy to communicate with, and really understood our vision for our photos. We were in love with the photos we received, and it was like we got to relive our wedding day. Mariana knew many areas in the neighborhood where we could pose and get some candid photos. She was constantly looking for the right shot, but was able to stay hidden and in the background. She even took some discreet photos in the church despite being restricted in doing so. Mariana was extremely friendly and personal with us and made our day even more special than it was. Don't hesitate to book Mariana for your wedding, she's the best !
We could not recommend Mariana’s services more! She is an absolutely amazing photographer and most importantly such a kind person who is so easy to work with. We met Mariana for the first time when she photographed our proposal and then chose to work with her again for our save the dates, rehearsal dinner, and wedding. Her candid, artistic style is unmatched and we are so happy with the photos from all of these occasions.
When choosing a wedding photographer, there is so much worry around picking the right person to capture these forever photos. If you want someone who not only has tremendous talent and skill but also makes you feel so comfortable to show your authentic love - then Mariana is the person for you!
Mariana is professional, communicative, and flexible. We could not be more more happy with our photos and hope to work with Mariana for more big life events in the future!
Mariana & her team are truly the best. Super responsive and fair pricing.
Tatiana showed up early for our micro-wedding and was super helpful throughout the event and captured so many perfect moments. Our gallery was delivered within the disclosed timeframe, which was appreciated and worth the wait!
Mariana was great to work with. She was able to guide us and made us comfortable the entire photo shoot. We booked an engagement shoot and were so nervous about the poses but with Mariana we were in great hands! I would highly recommend her. She is very professional, friendly, and the shoot turned out great :)
Mariana is an amazing photographer with a unique style. She made us feel really comfortable during the whole process of shooting our engagement pictures. Her editing and compositional choices are really unmatched! Her communication and professionalism was fantastic. Hire her!!!
Mariana was extremely helpful with planning and executing my surprise proposal. She was very detailed and thoughtful, making sure my fiancé and I felt very comfortable throughout the photo shoot. She gave me advice on certain areas I suggested and was able to walk the site beforehand to make sure the background would fit my needs. I highly recommend anyone looking for a proposal photographer to hire Mariana!
Mariana is fantastic to work with - her photos are stunning and captured exactly what we asked. She listened, guided us with ease, and captured our event with memories for a lifetime!
I was lucky enough to have Mariana and her team by our side on our wedding day. We had a small wedding so we really wanted our photos to feel as intimate and special as it was. We were so pleased with how beautifully candid and intimate our photos came out. They were punctual, creative and we couldn't have asked for more. We enjoyed their company on our wedding night. Thank you so much!
Mariana was wonderful to work with! Enthusiastic, prompt and creative, she captured our micro church wedding beautifully, working through a small space constraint and timing constraints to produce beautiful memories of our day. Would absolutely recommend working with her! Thank you Mariana!
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 so perfectly. Thank you Mariana!
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!
Mariana was so great to work with. Not only is her work amazing she is also a pleasure to work with. Her aesthetic and thoughtfulness about each photo is amazing. She made taking pictures enjoyable and painless. She will deliver a gallery that is reflective of your whole day, and each shot was even more beautiful than I could have imagined! My only regret is that I should have booked her for more time!
Mariana made our wedding day so special. She was a delight to work with well organized, friendly and highly responsive. Her second photographer was super kind as well. On top of everything, Mariana’s personality while working made it possible for us to act natural in front of the camera. There isn’t a single picture we don’t LOVE. Highly recommended!!
Mariana is a fantastic photographer and so wonderful to work with, every step of the way. She's incredibly easygoing as well as professional and experienced, particularly with wedding photography. It was very easy to communicate with her before the wedding. On the day of, it was like we had known each other a while because we felt so comfortable around her! She has an amazing eye and takes sensitive, beautiful photos. We loved the pictures we posed for AND the candid shots she got! Mariana sent us a well-curated, extensive gallery of photographs in very little time, all of them high resolution and easily downloadable. We truly can't believe how lucky we are that we got to work with her! She made our day feel extra special and we are so grateful that she was a part of it. We HIGHLY recommend hiring Mariana for any event but especially for a wedding!!!
Mariana is a spectacular photographer! She made our wedding day so special and comfortable. She was a real pleasure to work with, organized, attentive, caring, and a real pro. Our photos are stunning and we hope to use her services again and again!
We love our wedding photos from Mariana! They came out perfect, variety of different angles and options to post for social media. She was very responsive and professional throughout the process leading up to the big weekend. Would highly recommend! Another friend of ours decided to go with Mariana for their wedding too
Mariana was an absolute pleasure to work with. She took some amazing photos of my wedding and was able to capture all the moments I never want to forget. I highly recommend her to anyone, especially for weddings! Turn around time was quick as well which is a plus somehow you manage quality, quantity, and time!!! How is that even possible!
I want to thank you immensely from our part. The photos are AMAZING, we still can't believe how beautiful they are.
It has been a wonderful experience to be able to have your help on this special day for us. Thanks to these beautiful photos we will always have a precious memory of this special day in our lives. Thank you for helping to make everything Perfect.
Mariana was wonderful to work with! She is warm and friendly and her calm demeanor immediately put us in a good mood and headspace for our photoshoot. She turned an experience that can be a little daunting (for people that are not used to posing for hundreds of photos) very relaxed and fun, and that came through our pictures in such a lovely way. She has a great eye which allows for beautiful, unique photos and she gives tons of direction to ensure you are not standing awkward or slouchy. Our photos came out better than I dreamed of, and I know it would not have been the same with someone else. She's the best!!
Mariana is heaven sent for me and my partner. She is very accommodating and prompt in her reply to our queries. She managed to squeeze us on a last minutes booking too.
When we requested to have a video chat to discuss on our plans, we immediately clicked, it is as if we’ve been friends for a long time. She made us feel very comfortable during our wedding shoot and made sure that we were having fun as well.
She captured our pure emotions that day. After showing the pictures to some friends, they were all praises! All the raw emotions clearly shows on the photos.
If you want someone to capture your special moments or just have a fun shoot, I highly recommend her, you’ll just not have a photographer but will definitely earn a friend too!!!
Great photographer to work with. Mariana was energetic, engaging, and a lot of fun! We love our pictures! Would highly recommend Her to family and friends.
Mariana was so lovely to work with for our engagement shoot! She was communicative, kind, funny, and made us feel very comfortable the entire shoot. I highly recommend her!!!
Mariana is the best! Great service from start to finish in what was a life changing moment for me and my partner and a pleasure that Mariana was part of it! Highly recommended!
Mariana is an awesome photographer! Very easy to work with and her aesthetic is gorgeous :)
We actually had the honors for getting a family photography done by her. We just had a baby boy and these photosession meant a great deal emotionally to us. She was as loving as she could be to our baby and gave us the most beautiful shots of me and my husband and our family pictures. She’s the most patient, creative and sweet photographer you’ll ever meet.
I am so glad that I stumbled across Mariana’s Photography. I contacted her two days before I wanted my Photoshoot, and she squeezed me in her schedule. On the day of the Photoshoot, she never rushed us when taking the photos. She was patient, funny, energetic, and engaging. I can’t say enough about how professional she is and the quality of work that she provides. I was so pleased with my session and final photographs, that I will continue to use her in the future!
Mariana Soto Photography made one of the best days of my life last a lifetime.
Mariana is very caring, profesional, she acknowledges every little detail. Mariana ensured my bride and I would love these pictures time after time.
If you’re looking to share one of the most important days with someone who will care as much as you, Mariana Soto is your go to.
Thank you! We’re so happy!!
We LOVED Mariana! We had an engagement photo shoot planned with a friend who's a photographer, and as soon as we landed (we flew into NYC for the shoot) my friend told me he had a fever and couldn't do it. We were able to get Mariana day of (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!
Mariana was a dream at helping with a last second engagement shoot booking. Cordial, flexible and the upmost professional. The pictures were gorgeous and we were more than impressed with her talent and quick turn around. Absolutely recommend!
Working with Mariana was such a pleasure. She helped us pick a great time and spot for the surprise proposal! She was also very punctual and captured the best moments of the engagement.
I absolutely loved all the pictures she took and I'm glad I made a great friend!!
Thank you so much for everything ❤️
Mariana took photos for my best friend’s proposal! She arrived early and helped me setup for their proposal. She was highly invested and very easy to communicate to! Her photos were wonderful and she delivered them promptly! I highly recommend her for couple photos!
Mariana is one of the unique talents in the world that you so rarely get a chance to work with. She is both professional and fun and willing to go above and beyond to making that special moment in your life that much more memorable. Her creative energy is the true source behind her talent and we can't wait to work with her again.
I just really love to have her on the day of my proposal!! She really make us feel comfortable and we couldn’t be more happy for the result! The perfect accomplice for the perfect day! I don’t know how she does to capture the feeling and who you really are in the pictures and that’s what I love the most. Thank you so much! I can wait to have you on our wedding day 💕
Mariana was great. Professional, on time, and was great at directing us through all of the photos. And, of course, the photos turned out beautifully! We received our photos the day after the shoot, which was great so that we could share with our family and friends so quickly after the event.
Mariana is a wonderful photographer. She's also an awesome human being. We shared a wonderful day with her capturing moments from our wedding day in City Hall and Central Park. Thank you Mariana.
Mariana is the best! From the moment that I saw her website, we knew that we had to work with her. She has a sweet and kind personality. She has a great sense of detail and captured some really precious shots of the two of us. We are so happy that we had the opportunity to have Mariana capture our engagement and wedding celebrations. Mariana is the real deal! I promise you will not have any regrets working with her.
She was amazing! The best photographer we could hire on our most special day. Great communication, she’s very sweet and professional.
From the beginning until the end we felt a connection with her that made us feel very comfortable and relaxed.
Love our photos her style in color and black and white.
Thank you Mariana!
We can't be more satisfied than after Mariana sent us our wedding pictures, she saved all the unforgettable moments of the best day in our lives, the passion and dedication for her job was reflected on those photographs, we will definitely contact Mariana again for the next family event.
Mariana was definitely the best photographer we could ever hired! She knew all the details of what we wanted even before we mentioned them to her. She has so much experience in the filed that you feel that even the most clueless couple (like us) will be able to have the best wedding picture in the world! She was also very supportive and flexible with some special requests for pictures we had in mind and she made them possible. I would definitely recommend Mariana to EVERYONE! She is the best!
Mariana was fantastic and captured the moments of the day in a beautiful way. Her professionalism and ability to put everyone at ease while photographing were especially appreciated. It was a terrific experience and the end results speak for themselves.
