Maya Lovro Photography

hooter (Ann) for the wedding day, & both of them were so great. My wife & I have both always been a bit awkward about getting our pictures taken, but Maya put us both at ease almost immediately, & we both had a great time! We’re not expecting the whole album of wedding pics for a while yet, but the sneak peek pictures they sent us are exactly what we were hoping for - they really captured the vibe of the day. As a lesbian couple, it was important to us that all of our wedding vendors were either allies or members of the LGBT community as well; Maya was one of the first vendors we booked, & they set such a high standard for inclusivity, thoughtfulness, & quality, they ended up being the standard we compared other vendors to while we were shopping around for any other wedding vendors. They’re not cheap, but they’re worth every penny (& more!), & I cannot recommend them highly enough!

our overall wedding vision. As we shaped our plans and timeline, they were so conscientious and sensitive to everyone's needs and accommodations. On the day, Maya made us and all of our friends and family so comfortable in front of the camera to bring out our most confident and hottest selves. The photos we have received are stunning and reflect the care and passion Maya brings to their work.

nts that Maya capture wonderfully!

a contract. Every piece of paperwork or payment was organized in one place and easy to refer to later on; as a bride with anxiety this gave me so much peace of mind right off the bat. Working with Maya on our engagement shoot and then throughout the wedding day was a dream. They are happy to follow our lead when it comes to capturing organic moments but are always ready to jump in and nudge us in a direction as needed. Their partner Michael joined us on wedding day and both of them were so organized and professional throughout the whole day. You can see that they get excited about the work and have passion, and that comes through in the photos they take. Send Maya your weird nuanced little details, they got so excited with us and paid attention to what made us excited so they could capture it! So far my husband and I have loved our engagement photos and the sneak peek of wedding photos we got. There are so many little candid moments that were captured and we get to see now, and we love that authentic documentary style of photography. We cannot wait to get our photos back! Maya is worth every single penny and more. I'm so glad we brought them in to our vendor team for our wedding day, and you will be too :)

ce on stylistic choices... Absolutely incredible. AND THE PHOTOS! The photos are gorgeous and feel accurate to the personalities of my husband/me. I can't recommend Maya (and Michael) enough -- book them, you won't regret it!

ut Maya made the planning process so easy! It was very reassuring to work with someone who was clearly very organized and on top of things. We met regularly with Maya over Zoom in the months leading up to the wedding and they were always available to answer questions as needed. My husband and I really wanted to take photos together at various places around the city and Maya helped us narrow down our choices and put together a schedule. Maya and their partner Michael were so accommodating and flexible on the day of, as some of our chosen locations ended up being too crowded. We were able to quickly pivot to alternates and we are incredibly happy with how the photos turned out! Neither my husband or I have a lot of experience in front of the camera, but Maya and Michael made the process so fun that it didn't even feel like we were being photographed. Even when we were all being swarmed by lanternflies, they were incredibly professional and made sure we weren't covered in bugs for the photos. They are truly the best hype people you could ask for the day of your wedding! Maya is a wonderfully talented photographer and their photos truly captured all of the love and joy of that day in such a beautiful way. We received sneak peak photos from them the next day which was such a wonderful surprise! They exceeded our expectations in every way and we HIGHLY recommend Maya for all of your photography needs. I can guarantee that you will be exceedingly happy with the results!

e that makes colors pop, and WOW! Our pictures did not disappoint! Their editing is what drew us to them, but their personality, professionalism, and expertise really helped make our wedding day so absolutely perfect & special! My husband and I had no experience with professional pictures, but Maya provided crystal clear prompts that turned into STUNNING pictures! They also sent us our sneak peek the day after our wedding, which was an amazing gift because neither of us had taken any pictures during our wedding! We can’t wait for our full gallery reveal! Maya was also very accommodating – our wedding was on Light Up Night, and we had a view of the fireworks from our venue. Maya and Michael stayed late to capture some gorgeous photos of us with the fireworks in the background! We can’t wait to see how they turned out – with Maya’s colorful editing style, we know they’re going to be absolutely breathtaking! In addition to being phenomenal photographers, Maya and their second shooter/partner Michael brought impeccable vibes to our wedding day – they matched our energy and kept it going all night long! They were never in the way, but still managed to capture beautiful moments with our loved ones. We would recommend Maya to anyone & everyone who needs professional photography services!!

ng for us, and Maya was amazing. We also used bold fall colors, and Maya's photography captured that beautifully. They were always quick to respond to questions and made the whole planning process very simple. Maya and their second shooter were so much fun to work with while still clearly professional and in charge; we were laughing with them all day but still ran right on schedule! They were also great and very patient with older family members. They got us preview images very quickly that were STUNNING. We will always recommend them for any professional photography needs!

the decision to use them for our wedding even easier! Maya's second shooter was also AMAZING and they were both so fun to be around! We got our sneak peek the night of our wedding which is amazing and everyone loved them! Would highly recommend Maya for all photography needs!

amazing Maya and their team is. We had to pivot a few times on the day of our wedding due to some unforeseen circumstances and they adjusted quickly. Not to mention Michael was able to wrangle some crazy groomsmen. Overall, their personalities are wonderful, their pictures are amazing, and I would highly recommend anyone and everyone to use their services.

ur guests commented how friendly Maya and their team was at the wedding. My husband and I had never had professional photos taken before this, and Maya made us feel so comfortable and relaxed throughout the wedding day and leading up to it. We got a sneak peak of our pictures and we are in love with them and cannot wait to see the rest!! We are so glad we went with Maya Elaine Photography.

worth the investment. From day 1, Maya was fantastic! They truly became our friend and not just our photographer for our wedding. From the little things that Maya remembered, to the sweet emails and messages we received for over a year while planning. They helped with our timeline, they helped keep the day flowing and made everyone feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We unfortunately were not able to do a engagement session with Maya, but somehow Maya made us feel like we've known them for years. If you want the personal touch, Maya is the perfect photographer for you! Maya is so professional, inclusive to all and by far our best wedding decision (besides marrying each other). We received so many compliments from family and friends about how impressed they were with Maya! Maya truly has found her calling and has the perfect eye for photography. The photos we have are so vibrant and perfect in every way! We cannot wait to relive the most magical day with all of the photos from Maya and her partner Michael. Hire them! You will not regret it!!

e reception. The pictures they took really captured the joy of the day, they are incredible!

nd this vendor to help you make memories.

race gay couple. Maya went above and beyond with those expectations. Their photos really captured the magic of the day, and Maya was very efficient, professional, and helped bring out the best reactions during the shoots around Pittsburgh. We are hoping to hire them again for a Michigan reception next year, would highly recommend to anyone looking to get married, regardless of scale.

nd beyond to get every moment of our day. They helped a ton with planning. We love Maya. Choose Maya.

l, timely, and incredibly fun to be around!! We even had a little mixup with family photos, and they worked through it with ease and grace. They never stressed anyone out either, which is HUGE for an event as big as a wedding. I honestly would have loved having them there as invited guests, photography aside! I’d be remiss to not mention the final photos—we have received a handful of edited photos to share with family, and they are GORGEOUS. Everybody we’ve shown them to has commented on how beautifully they turned out, and oh my god they really did!! Maya is absolutely worth every penny you pay for them and more. I cannot recommend them enough for your photography needs!!! ❤️❤️❤️

. I'm a bookworm, and they brought old book pages to use in one of the detail shots. -I love the way our wedding photos incorporate color. -My partner and I are both ridiculous, and Maya was able to catch so many shots of us making each other laugh. Those were our favorites. Our personalities really came through in the photos. -The album we ordered came out so well.

ew pastor when we had a list minute cancellation!

e re-scheduling and venue changes, the coordination with other vendors, and other challenges we had along the way. Our photos turned out so gorgeous and they really understood our style and vision. As a queer photographer themselves, they understood that we had some non-traditional aspects to our wedding that we really wanted to celebrate. After our wedding they did a great job of letting us know when to expect photos, and took extra care to make sure everyone could access the photos. Maya is a great photographer and would highly recommend to a friend.

aya listened to our ideas and captured the real feel of us, highly recommend!
