“When searching for vendors we were having a hard time. We wanted not only the perfect style but the perfect personality to share our special day. Mariana answered all of my questions, built the perfect package for us and genuinely became a friend. There's nothing easy about planning a wedding and definitely not during covid and fire season here in California. I knew after one phone conversation that I wanted her to be our photographer and the engagement session only solidified that I had picked the perfect person. My now husband is super impatient and the last thing he was looking forward to was photos. The day of our engagement session the smoke was horrific and the original location ended up being closed even though it said open everywhere. We winged it and followed Mariana's lead. She lead us to an amazing spot and captured the most beautiful photos all while keeping my better half engaged in the shoot and having fun.

When it came to our wedding our venue cancelled 6 weeks prior and she gave me a ton of amazing leads on venues. The day of she showed up and instantly all of my bridesmaids were commenting.. "You're photographer is so fun", "I just love her personality", "Where did you find her". She was the perfect fit to our day and her second shooter was just as wonderful.

Mariana is all things professional. She's timely, responsive, kind but she is so much more than that. She is passionate, fun, and encouraging. I knew there would be tons of uncertainty with all the changes to our day but I knew I didn't have to worry about her and that peace of mind was priceless.” - Rachael
