Maria did an amazing and detailed job capturing all of the special moments in our wedding and our son’s baptism!
From the very start, she was extremely easy to work with, very professional and detail oriented.
The day of the wedding and baptism, we did not have a single worry or concern in terms of making sure special moments were captured because it was all being taken care of.
When we got the photos back, we were extremely grateful to have worked with Maria. The photos were more than we could have imagined, with every single detail captured beautifully!

I met Maria at the wedding of mutual friends, where she was the photographer, and I really liked her work. Later on, Maria photographed my wedding and engagement, and we also had individual photoshoots.
Maria is super professional. She assists with everything from selecting outfits with references to helping with timing for photos and suggesting the best album format and cover.
If you have trouble posing, that's not a problem either, as Maria always guides you on how to stand, position your hands, turn your face, and so on. This is often relevant for men, as sometimes taking photos can feel like a disaster, but with Maria, the process is smooth and comfortable.
All the photos are wonderful, the editing is beautiful, and the finished photos are delivered on time, which is equally important.
Besides being a great photographer, Maria is also a wonderful person. She is very easy to communicate with, and you don't even feel the photographer-client boundary; it's as if your best friend is taking your photos and showcasing you from the best angles.
My sincere recommendation, as you will be completely satisfied with the result. If you want cool, high-quality, and most importantly, lively photos that best capture the atmosphere of your celebration, Maria is definitely the one for you.

Maria is the best photographer we have ever met. Posing is really hard for me and my wife but she made sure the whole process so easy. She is very detail oriented, and pictures turned out to be so well, we could not even imagine we would look that great. She is very nice and positive person, and it really helped during doing the photoshoot. Working with her was a huge pleasure, and we will only book with her for any occasion in the future.
My husband and I got to know Maria before our big day, and we were lucky to receive some incredibly beautiful love story series from her. So, when it came time to pick a photographer for our wedding, the decision was a no-brainer.
We're thrilled that Maria was able to capture some of the happiest moments of our lives. The photos, editing — everything was spot-on and done with a great sense of taste.
Working with Maria was a breeze, even for us, who aren't always comfortable in front of the camera.
I highly recommend this photographer; she did an amazing job!
