Maya, We wanted to send a massive thank you for being our wedding photographer! You were so amazing to work with on the day. Not only did you make us feel completely comfortable, but the photos you captured are more beautiful than we ever imagined!! They truly tell the story of our day and we will treasure them forever! I apologize for not thanking you sooner but I’ll be 100% honest with you…I began going through them and couldn’t continue because tears just ran down my cheeks! It was Halloween and had Halloween makeup and didn’t want to ruin the whole look lol It was a busy weekend but I finally got through them all. I wanted to take my time and I’m glad I did. Looking through them took me back to that day and was able to relive it through the photos you captured! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you! You are amazing! 🤍

Owner

My love for photography may have started when I was 6 after attending a wilderness photography class for children in Yosemite. Using disposable cameras, I was excited to see what I had captured come to life. That desire to capture beauty never left. I started taking photos professionally in 2015, and have done numerous weddings around the country since. Currently based in El Paso, Texas, I strive to have my work tell a story, capturing the emotion of a moment that will last a lifetime. Whatever your photography needs are, I am honored to be a part of it and look forward to meeting you.

We cannot recommend Maya Isabella Photography highly enough! From the moment we first connected with Maya, it was clear that she genuinely cared about getting to know us as a coupl...

e. She took the time to understand our story, personalities, and preferences, which made a huge difference in how personal and meaningful the photos felt. Maya has an incredible artistic eye—every photo she took was stunning, creative, and full of emotion. She was also so accommodating with the kinds of shots we wanted, and went above and beyond to make our vision come to life. One thing we especially appreciated was her willingness to take professional photos of all the couples at our wedding—a unique touch that meant a lot to us and our guests. She also captured some truly beautiful candid moments that we’ll treasure forever. Beyond her talent, Maya is just a joy to work with. She’s warm, thoughtful, and made us feel so special and important throughout the whole experience. If you’re looking for someone with a unique gift for capturing love, connection, and personality through the lens, Maya is the one. We’re so grateful we found her.

delight to work with, and kept an open line of communication with us. We booked her for our engagement and wedding photos, and she delivered beautiful photos each time within the stated time frame.

le experience feel seamless and fun. Throughout the day, she provided helpful guidance on how to pose, ensuring every shot turned out beautifully. What we loved most, however, were the candid moments she captured – they truly brought our day to life and showed the emotion of the day in such a genuine way. A picture really does speak a thousand words, and Maya has an amazing talent for capturing those important moments. We’re so grateful we had her by our side to document our big day. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer. 10/10!

Maya is THE BEST of them all. She truly cares about her work but most importantly her clients. I hired her for my wedding this past December & I am so happy we chose to go with her...

. The church I was having my wedding at recommended her based on a previous wedding she did at the church. They described her as professional, kind, and emphasized her work being spectacular. I can confirm all was true. As with any wedding I had issues with other vendors but the one vendor that I didn’t have any problems with was with Maya. I recommend her hands down. Any other family party or event we need a photographer we will be calling Maya back, she has earned our business from now on. If you truly want beautiful photos, with a very a professional person who cares. Maya is the one for you. THANK YOU MAYA a million times these photos will be cherished for my many decades to come. I wish you much success on your photography business. You will be successful, you have the gift of photography. Thank you again.

I cannot express enough the degree at which Maya excels in all aspects of her service. Communication with Maya was always reliable and she made sure we met up at planned interval...

s before (and after) the day of the wedding in order to be certain everything would come out as desired. What makes Maya stand out -- aside from her beautiful photography -- is that she really is a package deal no matter the degree of her service. She is on top of her business, very knowledgeable in her profession, and incredibly kind. Her personality helps brighten and relieve any stress surrounding the wedding, and the photographs you end up with will be worth every cent. Both her and Ivan (her videographer) were great at adapting to the day, as well as giving advice for the best product based on what my husband and I previously discussed wanting. They both worked with me to be sure I could get as much as I wanted within my price range in order to make my day as special as can be. I cannot fully articulate how appreciative I am and how much I recommend not only Maya, but her videography bundle.

Maya was highly communicative throughout the process from start to finish. She had several meetings to discuss agenda, pricing, what photos we wanted, and her process and thoughts...

. She was very organized and prepared, having a list of suggested shots and ideas that worked well with our own. The day of the wedding she was amazing! She showed up early and prepared, was very flexible on time and location, came up with some amazing shots and poses on the spot, and even stayed late to make sure she got the best photos she could. After the wedding, her review of the book was incredible. She has a wonderful eye for design and shots, and the layout of the album was exactly what we were thinking of. Maya is a delight. She has a fantastic creative vision, and we were very lucky to have found her. Having her as part of our wedding was a great choice, and we highly recommend her to anyone, for any photography you might want done. We can’t wait to hire her again for maternity shots, as well as other family photos in the years to come.

ease through her excitement to photograph us. She did not give off any, "this is a paycheck" vibes. When we got our pictures back, my wife and I loved them all. She was able to capture every moment that we'd want to remember. Her online distribution system worked well and easy to navigate. If we had any questions she would respond in a timely manner. All in all 10 out of 10.

n firsthand the skill and dedication required to capture a wedding, Maya's work immediately stood out to me among the many I've encountered. Her rare blend of rich, natural colors and exquisite composition creates images that are both timeless and deeply personal, surpassing anything I could have imagined for our wedding. From our initial Zoom meeting to the detailed prep before our wedding, Maya's customer service was impeccable. She was not just a photographer but a guide, helping us navigate the complexities of wedding planning with ease. Her thoughtful and organized approach made us feel confident we could fully immerse ourselves in our special day. On the day of the wedding, my wife and I mentioned to each other that we had made the right choice. Maya’s presence made us feel we were in capable hands to capture the memories we were living. However, despite knowing we liked her, there was nothing like seeing those first sneak peeks shortly after the wedding. When we saw our photos, we were left truly speechless. To this day, we are so glad the stars aligned, allowing us to experience one of the most important days of our lives through the lens of Maya Isabella Photography. Beyond her photography, Maya's all-around expertise shone through. She assisted us in selecting vendors and coordinating our creative team, demonstrating her versatility and commitment to our overall experience. In summary, Maya Isabella Photography was the best choice we could have made for our wedding. Her work is more than photographs; it's a journey back to those beautiful moments. We're forever grateful that our paths crossed with Maya's. To any couple searching for a photographer who can capture the heart of your wedding day, look no further than Maya Isabella Photography. Maya, thank you for turning our memories into masterpieces. Your talent and dedication are unparalleled. We couldn't have imagined our day without you!

She was there early and even stayed after her slotted time to make sure we got the best photos in the light we had available (White Sands wedding!). The editing was phenomenal but it still remained authentic and real. Maya was such a joy to be around. Her energy was infectious and she was such a pleasure to work with. I’m so thankful she chose us in return of us choosing her!

From meeting with us before our wedding, to our engagement shoot, and finally our wedding day, she was incredibly sweet and made us feel comfortable the entire time. We knew we could trust her to capture everything so beautifully without any reservations. Maya exceeded all of our expectations for what we could ever wish for in a photographer/videographer and would book her a thousand times again. It is easy to see the passion Maya has for her work as she always has a smile on her face, behind the camera. The photos she takes are candid and natural while still having a glam factor. In addition to our wedding she also did a doggy studio photoshoot (very adorable). She is multifaceted and her skills can be seen across settings and occassions as well. The moments Maya captures will truly live a lifetime. We are very grateful to have met her. THANK YOU, MAYA❤️

That’s how we knew she loves what she does. She offers a lot especially if you don’t know what to ask for. Highly recommend.

Do yourself a favor and book Maya Isabella Photography as your photographer for any event needing one! Her work is dazzling and personalized. Before our wedding, she asked us what ...

kinds of moments/scenes we would want pictures of. Maya got every shot that we requested and more! They were all beautiful, and she posed us and captured other moments that we didn't know we needed until we saw the photos. I don't even like having pictures taken of myself, but on the day of the wedding, my favorite part was taking photos with Maya behind the camera. I suddenly felt so comfortable in front of the camera because of Maya's overall bright yet comforting personality. Planning a wedding is stressful as it is, not to mention the stress on the actual wedding day. But rest assured that if you have Maya Isabella Photography doing the photos/camera work, it will all turn out perfect. Plus, her rates are so good too, are you kidding me! Maya Isabella Photography is the total package.

I had a scar on my left hand that Maya was able to photoshop out, and it was seamless. To anyone looking to hire Maya, do it. I would hire her again for any photoshoot.
