I don’t even have the words for how grateful I am for Marina! About a month before our wedding, something happened with my original photographer and I had to scramble and luckily, ...
Marina was available. I truly believe it was meant to be because she was everything I could have hoped for and more.
From the start, Marina was so professional and detail-oriented. She gave me a list of items to have ready for detail shots (which was a lifesaver!), and throughout the day she made sure me and my husband looked our absolute best. She even had oil control papers on hand and bustled my dress flawlessly, above and beyond!
Beyond her professionalism, Marina made us all feel so confident and comfortable in front of the camera. She had amazing ideas for photos, kept things running smoothly, and captured the sweetest moments. We also had a second photographer, Kendra, who was equally amazing and such a joy to have with us.
I will be forever grateful for Marina and Kendra. If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly talented but also caring, organized, and such a calming presence, Marina is the one. Truly the best decision we made! Everything happens for a reason!!
Marina did an amazing job! She went above and beyond on our wedding day. Her professionalism, calming presence, and attention to detail did not go unnoticed. She captured our day s...
o beautifully and we are so thankful to have these beautiful photos to look back on. Highly recommend!
Marina took my boudoir photos (May 2024) that I gifted to my husband on our wedding day (October 2024). Marina is amazing - she instantly made me comfortable and had the best promp...
ts to keep my face and body posed perfectly. I had so much fun and felt so empowered during our session - I instantly wanted to book another one! I received my album just over 3 weeks after our session. There was a slight printing issue (my lips and hair looked blue in a few album photos) and Marina had it reprinted and mailed at no charge; the reprint arrived two weeks after the original. Marina was sweet and fun and I would recommend her if you are considering a boudoir shoot (which you should because it was SO fun, especially during the gruel that wedding planning can be). Oh, and my husband LOVED the album - his jaw was on the floor. Thank you Marina!
We can’t say enough about how amazing Marina was as our wedding photographer. I think what stood out to us as something Marina does that goes above and beyond is making sure we are...
feeling prepared and organized going into the big day. We had an initial consultation call when we booked her and also a month before the wedding a phone call to go over the timeline and shots that we wanted. Marina was so helpful during the planning process, pointing out things we wouldn’t have thought of and just making us feel more confident going into our day. Then the day of, everything was absolutely seamless- she ensured she got every shot we spoke about (and more!!) and made everyone feel so comfortable. The cherry on top of all of Marina’s amazing service was how FAST she turned over our gallery. It was only about a week after our wedding!!! And the pictures are seriously out of a dream, she knew our vision and the pictures show that. She just went 1000% above and beyond what she was hired for. We love having these absolutely gorgeous photos to look back on our special day, they will always remind us how perfect it was. Thank you thank you THANK YOU, Marina!
Marina was the perfect person to capture our wedding! She was kind, professional, and knowledgeable, and was truly a pleasure to work with. We had an engagement shoot with her befo...
re the big day and she made us feel at ease. On the day of the wedding she was also amazing. Not only did she capture great pictures before, during, and after the ceremony, but there are some truly amazing candid shots from the party! She was also kind enough to fix my bustle after my husband stepped on it before the first dance (which also honestly made for some hilarious pictures)! I Our pictures are truly stunning and I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend hiring her for your wedding!
Marina was our photographer for our wedding and she was amazing. We had multiple meetings with her before the day to talk about what photos wanted and how the day would go. She cam...
e in the day of the wedding and took care of everything. She made sure we took photos with everyone we needed. Her organization was impeccable as she helped navigate four sets of families throughout the day. When we got our wedding day pictures back, earlier than expected, they made us feel like we were reliving the day. THEY WERE STUNNING! She helped pose us and captured the day the way WE wanted it. We absolutely recommend her for anyone in the Boston/New Hampshire area!
Marina was amazing! Not only is she an amazing photographer, but she was also so helpful in guiding us as we planned out the events of our wedding day. She made sure we got all the...
shots we wanted while also being able to enjoy all of the festivities of our wedding day. She made us and our wedding party feel so comfortable and confident, and our photo sessions were so fun. Our wedding party was raving about her! She is a seasoned wedding photographer and made me feel so at ease. I did not stress out about one thing because I knew she would keep us moving and on schedule. We were on time for every bit of the day. We are so pleased with how our photos came out. She captured the love and happiness of the day so beautifully. We highly recommend Marina!!!
Marina is the best and we are so in love with our wedding gallery! We were so happy to have her for our June 2024 wedding at Zorvino Vineyards! We found her through their preferred...
vendors list and it was a huge benefit because Marina is so knowledgeable about Zorvino and friendly with their staff. We are so in love with all of our photos. Looking through our album, Marina captured our day perfectly as we remembered it. She was quick and efficient, but took time to show us sneak peeks on her camera throughout the day and checked in multiple times to ask if there were any other photos we wanted to take that we hadn’t yet. She captured the perfect combo of portrait/posed photos and candids. We had our engagement shoot with Marina as well, and she gave us a few pointers that really elevated our photos (we’re not people who are usually comfortable in front of the camera!). 10000/10 recommend Marina!
5☆☆☆☆☆ she captured everything perfectly. She truly is a master at her craft.
HIRE HER! FIVE STARS. CLASSIC-ELEGANT-BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS
Marina photographed our July 2023 wedding and welcome BBQ on the coast of Southern Maine during what has been historically on...
e of the rainiest seasons yet. Despite our wedding day having torrential downpours and inconsistent lighting, our photographs came out AMAZING. The quality of the photos is outstanding. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE them! Marina brings an elegant, classic, romantic, and soft approach to her photographs. She takes a mixture of classic poised photos as well as some candid shots. Marina’s personality is calming and professional. I would describe Marina’s photographic style as elegant and refined.
I knew what I was looking for – which is key to hiring the right photographer. For me – the biggest deciding factor was how the photographer edits in the post process stage. I wanted someone that does their own editing (not AI), uses just the right amount of grain to the photos (so I can blow them up and frame them) and someone that truly captures the day with a timeless approach (something that stands the test of time and isn’t following a trend). Marina met all these expectations flawlessly. I chose a plethora of pink, blue, peach, and lilac pastels for my bridal colors so I knew I needed to find someone that shoots photos with a true to life color (IE- no tinted hues). Marina captured my florals and bridal party perfectly. She edited certain pictures with a little more brightness. I love how those photos almost look ethereal. The pictures truly look like they belong in a magazine. When the rain finally stopped, Marina was quick to come delicately interrupt Tony and I to make sure that we were able to capture some outdoor shots by the ocean. These shots are some of our favorites.
Marina was responsive, tactful with asking if certain family members are OK in the same pictures, and an overall gentle and calming presence I was so happy to have by my side on my wedding day. When our Welcome BBQ got a bit out of hand – she was willing to go with the flow and got some great shots of our guests. Marina delivered all photos edited in both web format and large file format within a super-fast turnaround time! I would highly recommend going with Marina. Choose her for the full day – you won’t regret those early morning pictures with your bridesmaids. If you can, I recommend hiring her for the rehearsal dinner. It’s a great way to capture extended family portraits the day before so you can have a bit more freedom in your timeline the day of.
We loved working with Marina! She made sure to get every photo that we wanted and was so patient and fun! Highly recommend!
Hiring Marina as the photographer for our wedding is one of the best decisions I've ever made. Not only are her skills off the charts and romantic and whismical, but it is her kin...
d demeanor, fun loving energy, and expert leading skills that really made our day (both rehearsal and wedding day) the picture perfect day it was. She was relaxed and funny and sweet, and yet knew how to lead the group with a respectable command. She captured me the way I wanted to look and I think her experience with boudoir photoshoots and fashion helped the essence I was trying to create with my wedding jewelry and vibes. I really ended up wanting to be her friend and find it is no wonder such a beautiful soul created and captured such beautiful heartfelt photos of our special day. Thank you Marina! You will forever be in our hearts <3
We feel so lucky that we got to work with Marina for our wedding! Marina took our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos. She is truly a professional and knows just how to...
get all the shots that you want. We were able to use our engagement photos for our invites and thank yous, and when we got our wedding photos back (about three weeks after the wedding, much faster than I expected!!) I could have cried with how beautiful they turned out. Marina managed to capture every single detail , like she knew just what we had spent time on trying to get perfect. She sends out a worksheet to help make sure to define all the pictures you want before your wedding so you don’t have to worry about it, and believe me she has got everything under control! She kept us on schedule, got all the most important moments, and let me tell you I have never seen anyone bustle a dress as fast as she did! Marina’s work is gorgeous and I’ll be treasuring all these pictures forever.
We hired Marina as our photographer because we liked her photography style and her experience at our venue, LaBelle winery. Marina helped keep us on schedule and got several great ...
shots on our wedding day. However of the over 1000 photos that were taken that day, my husband and I didn’t get a single photo with our grandmothers on our mothers’ side. My grandmother is truly devastated that she doesn’t have a photo with her granddaughter on her wedding day. It was an extremely hot day which made it harder to take photos outside, but I just wished Marina would’ve reminded us to get grandparent photos later that night. We did enjoy working with Marina but because of what happened, I think I would’ve picked a different photographer.
To say that Marina takes beautiful pictures would be an understatement, and she is honestly so kind and great to work with! She’s a total pro, gives great direction, and went above...
and beyond in helping us all to stay on schedule as well! She was able to provide us with both pictures and video, and my husband and I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out!
Marina is amazing! Her work is incredible and we were wowed by the photographs from our day. She was incredibly responsive and had our photographs to us much sooner than we expect...
ed. Marina took such incredible care of us on our big day. From keeping our timeline on schedule, to keeping pushy relatives in line, to taking my veil off at the end of the night, she ensured we never had to worry. We loved working with her throughout the entire process and would highly recommend her to anyone!
Marina was the most amazing wedding photographer. She has the kindest heart and takes the most beautiful pictures! She went above and beyond to capture my wedding day and I'm still...
in awe everytime I look at the incredible photographs she took! Her editing skills are unreal and her ability to take the most candid and heart warming pictures make me so happy that we chose her as our photographer! I highly reccomend Marina to help capture your special day! I
We found out about Marina through our venue's preferred vendors list. She was very accommodating . She was very familiar with our venue which made taking pictures a breeze. Marina ...
took excellent photographs and even sent the proofs in the cutest gift package for us. I would highly recommend Marina Z Photography.
Marina is absolutely amazing!! We worked with her for our engagement photos back in October and for our wedding in May. She is truly incredible at what she does. Photos from both s...
essions came out BEAUTIFUL! We have received so many compliments on how great our photos look. Marina has such a keen and creative eye. She puts thought into each photo she takes. Marina also edits her photos in such a unique way. Our photographs stand out so much and I'm so so happy with how they came out. Marina is so easy to work with and very professional. I highly recommend her!
Marina's work is absolutely amazing. She shot my wedding photos in July 2015 and everyone has told me they look like they should be in a magazine (and I agree!). She is so incredib...
ly talented - she listens closely to what you want, gives good direction, and will go to great lengths to capture a shot! She has a fantastic eye for photography and, while you might not know what she's doing while she's photographing you, when you see the final product, you're blown away. I wanted editorial style shots, which is not typical for wedding photos, and Marina completely ran with it. She went above and beyond to capture the feel I wanted for our photos. She did such an amazing job, in fact, that my brother and soon-to-be sister-in-law booked her for their upcoming wedding! Marina is a true artist and I highly recommend her to anyone who wants stunning photos!
My husband and I were beyond impressed with Marina's talent, professionalism, creativity, energy, and dedication to capture every special moment of our wedding. We loved working wi...
th her- right from our very first meeting with her, to the final minutes of our wedding, she was vibrant, down to earth, and so sweet. At our wedding, she was everywhere! I saw her capture every single memory- both big and small- that made our wedding wonderful. My husband and I have complete confidence that our photographs will be amazing, and we cannot wait to see them and relive our wedding over and over again!! Thank you so much, Marina, for being such a huge part of making our wedding stress-free and a day that we will be able to remember for the rest of our lives!
I found Marina on Wedding Wire almost a year before our wedding. She was quick to respond to my emails and since we live in Chicago was completely fine with skyping so we could "me...
et" to see if she would be a good fit for our wedding. From the second we started our chat we knew she would be perfect. She was sweet and professional and answered all of our questions in less than an hour. We decided that since we would be heading home to New England for Thanksgiving that we would do an engagement photo session with her so we would know what to expect from her on our big day and so we could see what her final product looked like.
We were supposed to meet in NH the day we flew in for a shoot outside but the weather was horrendous and we had to reschedule. We only had a few days and given the holiday I was afraid we wouldn't be able to find a time. Marina was very accommodating and agreed to meet us in Boston for a shoot along the Charles River instead that Saturday. It was freezing but Marina worked quickly and when we had our photos 3 weeks later we were thrilled with how they turned out!
Fast forward to August 2014 for our wedding day! Marina showed up on time, even a little early and was there every second that I needed her from 2pm to 10pm. She got the most beautiful shots of all the girls and was able to capture some great candid moments! She had an assistant working with her who was able to get photos of the guys getting ready so she could stay with me. Again she worked quickly which was great because we were about half an hour behind in getting ready!
At the church she did a fantastic job as well. What I liked best was that I never noticed she was there! Some photographers can get in the way of the moment but she was completely unobtrusive yet managed to capture all of the photos we needed! After the ceremony she was patient as our giant families took turns posing for family portraits before we took the shots of the bridal party. She was quick to organize groups of 50+ people and the photos turned out perfect.
I had found several shots of bridal parties on pintrest that I liked so I had sent them to her in advance for ideas of what we wanted. She managed to get almost every single one I had asked for as well as others that we didn't! Our favorite photos are of just my husband and I that we didn't plan on taking. Marina looked across this open lawn just as we were about to leave to go to the reception and said "The lighting is perfect right here! Come with me! We have to get this!" I'm so glad she said that because those particular photos are stunning!
At the reception, Marina had a backdrop set up with props that everyone enjoyed! I only got in a few of them as we were so busy dancing but it was a huge hit for my guests! Marina also had asked us what we were doing for our first dance. My husband isn't much of a dancer and were weren't going to do anything too crazy but Marina suggested that he dip me at the end of the song. Thankfully he did so without dropping me and that photo is priceless too!
She really knows what she is doing and I will recommend her to anyone I know getting married in that area! She is efficient, professional, and has a great eye! We even got our photos back exactly 3 weeks after our wedding as promised! Thank you Marina for everything! We will be keeping her in mind for family photos someday!
Marina is amazing. She captured every little detail and you can really tell that she has a lot of experience doing weddings. She had some great ideas and incorporated some really...
cool interviews into the video - which I cannot wait to see the final product, I am sure it is perfect! Thank you so much for being there for everything on our wedding night - (she definitely stayed a lot longer than she had to).
Marina was simply AMAZING at our wedding. Throughout the chaos she kept a smile on her face, directed us where to go, helped me with my dress, kept my dogs off me and the maids, di...
dn't seam stressed - which helped with my stress, and waited for me at my house for over an hour while we were late at the salon...she was silly and professional at the same time. She got great shots because our chemistry was wonderful! She did more than your average photographer by helping me through the ceremony and with all the rush. I would recommend Marina to ANY bride - she is a PERFECT choice AND nicely priced :)
Thank you for all you did for us on our special day Marina!

My husband and I knew we wanted Marina to be our wedding photographer from the moment we met her. We were very impressed by her professionalism and her warmth in our initial appoi...
ntment.
She really took the time to explain the details of her services, she looked for unique photo opportunities the day of the wedding and was a delight to be around on such an important day.
Marina Z is a rare gem in the wedding photographer business. She is a wedding photographer who is extremely talented, creative and passionate whom at the same time will not settle...
for anything less
then perfection and will go to great lengths to get the perfect shot (including standing up on benches at high angles) and whose personality is a nice mix of professionalism and authenticity. She was our wedding photographer for our summer wedding and the
photographs she took were absolutely breath taking and she truly was able to capture the magic of our day. I highly recommend Marina Z for your wedding photographer. With so many choices out there for wedding photographers and many who are not forthright, look no further then Marina Z for someone who is talented, completely honest with you and who also has very reasonable pricing. She is very quick to
respond to any questions via email, which I really appreciated during the entire wedding planning process. She also had the ability to put me at ease on my actual wedding day and had amazing suggestions for fun poses with my wedding party. She did a great job of "herding"
our families together for photos afterwards as well. After our ceremony she took a series of photos around the garden and inside a historic building of just my husband. It made us feel like the only couple in the world, it was a very romantic time to have the photos taken right after the wedding and these photos came out amazing.
Most importantly, she was able to meet me and my bridesmaids very early in the morning at a salon for "work in progress" photos, this was quite amazing because it was so early and Marina arrived with her assistant fully awake, aware and ready for the day. Marina Z and her
assistant did a great job of shadowing us all day with photograph taking, and I never felt they were to invasive or distracting at all. Also, the addition of the photo booth at our reception was a blast! Many of my guests took advantage of the booth and the pictures came
out hilariously good. I am still in awe of how good the photos came out and was a joy to share the photos with my wedding guests as well.
I will no doubt look at these pictures many times, and will always remember how lucky I was to have found Marina Z as my wedding photographer.
