“She captured not only how our wedding looked, but how it felt–the quiet, emotional moments, the laughter, the chaos, the joy.
from Elena & Jack
Your celebration is shaped by the people and places that matter most:
Whether you’re getting married in a tent in your grandparents’ backyard, riding to your reception on your family’s lobster boat, or saying your vows at the same garden estate as your parents’ 30 years ago, your photos will focus on connection, emotion, and family, captured in a classic New England style.
What it's like to work with me
"When the weather suddenly turned just before our outdoor ceremony, I turned to Maria. She reassured me it would be beautiful either way and was ready to shoot rain or shine. The rain cleared just in time for a stunning ceremony, and I’ll never forget comforting and reassuring she was."
