There’s nothing better than getting a front row seat to watch two people entering the next chapter of their lives together. It’s a special experience, and I love the rush that comes with watching big and little moments naturally unfold. I’m here to capture your unique relationship and give you tangible one-in-a-lifetime memories to cherish forever.
It’s easy to get lost in scrolling through wedding inspiration on social media, but here’s what I’ve learned from photographing countless newlyweds - no couple is alike and no wedding is alike. Your photos should feel like the two of you instead of following along with the latest trends. I’m committed to giving you photos that capture raw and authentic moments because those are the ones that matter. Your natural chemistry and a little guidance is all you need to create stunning memories to look back on for years to come.
Whether you’re planning a multi-day wedding experience or a one-day celebration, I’m here to capture all of your favorite memories. With my photojournalistic approach, I’ll blend seamlessly into your event so you can forget the camera is there and focus on enjoying your time with family and friends. I’m ready to tell your story and give you tangible moments to hold onto for a lifetime.
There’s no better way to warm up to the camera than by having an engagement session with your partner. This time in your lives together can feel stressful with the pressures of planning your wedding, but it’s important to capture these early memories. Treat your session like a fun date night and get lost in enjoying each other’s company. It’s also the perfect time to get to know my style in preparation for the big event.
I’m Maria, an experienced wedding photographer specializing in South Asian weddings. As a child, I developed a passion for the arts and culture that only continued to grow with me. After studying photography in college, I decided to pursue wedding photography and have never looked back. I’ve found this path to be more fulfilling than I ever imagined possible, and have settled into my personal photojournalistic style over the years. I love photographing moments that unfold spontaneously. these are the magic moments that tell the story of you and your partner, and I’m honored to document a piece of your history together. If you’re looking to capture your love in a way that feels authentic and creative, I’m here for you.

Maria was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was very easy to work with, accommodating, and constantly stayed in touch with us to help us get the photos of our dreams! She made sure to answer every question we had right away, even agreeing to get on a phone call/zoom meeting as needed. She takes the time to get to know you, your spouse, and understand your wedding traditions, culture and anything else important to you.
Maria has a unique approach to her photos which I haven't seen before. She is also super patient. For example, my wife and I don't typically like posing for pictures, but Maria was there to guide us and tell us which way to look, where to put our hands, etc. As we got more comfortable in front of the camera, she let us be candid and do our own thing in order to grab truly authentic photos that showcased our love, which made our photoshoot so much more fun! At the end of the day, it felt like we were hanging out with a friend taking photos, rather that working with a professional photographer.
We had a south asian wedding which spanned multiple days. As all south asians may know, our families are not exactly the easiest to coordinate or give instructions to, especially during a wedding. Despite all the chaos, Maria stayed calm, patient and continued doing her thing. She even stayed extra time for some of the events without us asking to ensure we got all the photos we needed.
After the wedding, Maria stayed in constant communication with us regarding our album. We went through multiple revisions before finally getting the album of our dreams. My friends and family to this day are singing praises about how magical our photos look. I have been sending Maria's contact information to all of my friends and family who are looking for a photographer. I can't thank her enough for all the work she has done to make my wife and I look and feel special during our time together.

I knew when I first spoke to Maria on the phone that she was the right fit to photograph our wedding.
Her journalistic approach to photography is exactly what I was looking for. It's clear to see from her photos that she captures real feelings and emotions. Aside from her creative skills, she is a very kind person to work with also made my wedding day go smoothly. I felt like I made a friend rather than hiring a service.
I don't know how she manages to be everywhere at once, but she was able to capture every special moment that day. I tend to be a very critical person regarding photography since I myself am an amateur photographer. However, there is absolutely nothing I would want to change about the wedding album I received from Maria. You will be so happy if you choose her!

Going with Maria for our wedding photography was the best decision we could make!!! She was super accommodating and really nice to work with. Me and my husband are really not into posing and are super camera shy, but Maria made sure to not make us awkward with all the posing and still covered every minor detail of each ceremony. Be it the wedding rituals or cocktail dinner party, she captured everything so nicely… honestly, when everyone was busy dancing, she used to just sneak in and click and we wouldnt even realize she was around, which was really cool coz she got all the candid shots real nice. Not just us, but all our guests were also super impressed with the way she worked and the pictures were just perfect!

Maria made our engagement ceremony and pre wedding shoot experience an unforgettable one! She guided us through the whole process and everything fell in place better than we could imagine! Her communication was spot on and overall she was very punctual and detailed oriented. All of our memories were beautifully captured in still photographs! Thank you for being a part of one of the most memorable moments of our lives. If anyone is looking to hire a kind soul that absolutely loves what she does as a photographer then Maria is the one! Highly recommend!!

Maria did an amazing job capturing our wedding and she's a pleasure to work with. Although not Indian herself, she was familiar with the ceremonies, rituals, and culture. We appreciated her ability to understand everything that was going to take place and we didn't feel like we had to worry on the day of if everything was going according to plan. She communicated with us what she needed from us and followed through on all the deliverables. Her willingness to make minor changes, go with the flow, and work with our videographer put us at ease. We're so glad she captured our wedding and we can't recommend her enough. The pictures came out so beautifully!

Our experience with Maria was excellent! We were initially overwhelmed when trying to select a photographer for our interfaith wedding, but seeing Maria’s photos on her website made the decision easy. We really appreciated her style of photography - deep rich colors and focus on the couple. Other photographers seemed to have a lot of strange angles and washed out colors, which we were trying to avoid.
Hiring Maria was a breeze. She is responsive by email and always happy to jump on a call when needed. Part of her package included engagement photos, which were extremely helpful when putting together our save the dates and website. She is intuitive, yet also did a good job of asking us for our preferences to confirm. The wedding day was also a breeze, and Maria documented all of our key moments without being intrusive at all.
Maria’s turnaround times are excellent, and she was never late with delivering sneak peeks or the digital albums.
Finally, we also worked with Maria on the final physical photo album. She was very flexible and allowed us to have multiple rounds of revisions. She was very accommodating even when we wanted to swap out many photos for more preferred variations. It was a lot of work and Maria did not hesitate to help us develop the perfect album.
Overall my wife and I would highly recommend Maria for any event based on our experience working with her for our wedding. Thanks Maria!

We booked Maria as our wedding photographer based off of what we saw in her gallery and the results did not disappoint in the slightest. Incredibly communicative and a pleasure to work with. Cannot recommend her enough if you're looking for someone to snap some of the best moments in your life.
