Seasoned with weddings
We hired Maria for our wedding and chose the Heirloom package. When it came time to schedule our engagement shoot, she was incredibly flexible and made the whole process so easy. On our wedding day, Maria did an amazing job capturing every moment. She even helped keep things running smoothly by checking in on our schedule and gently coordinating when something was supposed to be happening.
Maria is truly one of the kindest, most flexible people I’ve ever worked with, and she’s an absolute hype woman in the best way. I will be recommending Moda Images to everyone I know and will definitely continue using her for future photos.

Maria was amazing. She was the perfect photographer for us. She helped us take the traditional wedding photos but then, let the majority of our photos be candid like we asked. And they are turned out amazing! We captured the traditional wedding photos and all the fun of the day. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone.

Maria took absolutely beautiful pictures at my daughter's wedding so much so that we re-hired her for our family photo's less than a year later. Both her and her daughter Indie are...
very professional and friendly. Maria was there from before the I do's with the ladies getting dressed all the way through the reception. My daughter did not want her fiancé to see her before the wedding so Maria managed to take group shots of the groom's party together and then the bridal party together before the wedding all the while making sure no one saw each other in advance. I would highly recommend Moda Images to any bride and family for their photo's as we will continue to use them.

We are both really happy with the entire process and especially with how the photos turned out! She even wrote us a tentative timeline for the day to ensure we had time to get all of the photos we wanted and made sure we were able to get any specific shots we wanted! I can’t recommend Maria enough!

Maria was truly the best photographer we could have asked for for both our wedding day and engagement photos! She has such a gift for guiding us into the perfect poses and finding ...
the most beautiful locations. She was so flexible and easy to work with when it came to scheduling and choosing the time and place for our engagement session. Best of all, she delivered our photos quickly—and they were absolutely stunning. We couldn’t be happier and would 100% recommend Moda Images!

el for my wedding. Our first in personal meeting was for our engagement shoot, I was feeling a bit self conscious and she made me feel so comfortable and beautiful. She allowed a change of outfit and even got the bloopers of my husband holding a blanket to change in the park lol.
Then came my wedding, Maria made sure to capture every detail she knew I worked hard on. Throughout the wedding she asked if I wanted specific photos and made sure I got them. She is the perfect balance of down to earth and professional, even laughed when my groomsmen got a little rowdy. Not only did she take stunning photos she assisted with anything that went a little wonky, and we definitely had some mishaps. She reminded me that those moments are what make the best memories and she was completely right.
To say that I would recommend Maria would be an understatement. Her photos speak for themselves, her personality is just a bonus! I absolutely love our photos and cannot wait to work with her again.

I’m sure we asked more than 50 questions and she had an answer for every one of them in a timely and professional manner!
