“We worked with Mariana for our engagement session and wedding day, and I cannot emphasize enough how much my husband and I love working with her. We originally had our wedding planned in 2020, then 2021, and we finally had our wedding in 2022. Throughout those crazy times and rescheduling process, Mariana has been so understanding and the best at communicating with us. Even though we only communicated via call, text, or email, we already felt like she cares about us because she's very responsive and supportive throughout the process. Fast forward to our engagement session at Bodega Bay, it was the first time we worked with her in person. The weather at that day was so unforgivingly cold, windy, and foggy but Mariana with her positive, supportive, and encouraging attitude was able to made the session so fun and memorable for us. Throughout the session, Mariana was always so attentive. She made sure that we both feel comfortable and to let her know if we want to take a moment to warm up. After the session, my husband and I agreed that we cannot wait to have her on our wedding day. During the wedding, our family and friends also mentioned that they really loved the working with Mariana and her team. The feedback that we got is that she was able to make the atmosphere so creative and fun, which really help us, the not so photogenic people, feel so comfortable and great in those photo sessions. She is willing to go above and beyond to get those creative shots and angle to make sure that she got the best out of every moment. A month later, we got our gallery and they are AMAZING (yes - the one from the foggy engagement session day turned out so great too!) If you are looking for a photographer that is professional (responsive and has a quick turnaround time), radiates great positive energy (understanding, fun, caring) and can capture those important moment in the most timeless and beautiful way, Mariana is the way to go!” - Beth
