“I had a small, intimate wedding with the #1 goal of remembering as much of my wedding day as possible. I didn’t want to be stressed or busied. I wanted to take in every moment.
Maria created an environment to allow for what I wanted and captured just that – a day that we could remember perfectly and beautifully. I look back at my wedding pictures way too often and literally feel transported back to all of these moments that Maria was able to capture of myself, my husband, and our family and friends.
Maria was very professional to work with, extremely timely and very communicative — three things that are a MUST when booking your wedding photographer.
I told Maria to do whatever she wanted as far as wedding shots went and I was very pleased. She’s got a natural eye and is great at directing people in what she needs them to do/emulate through a photo. Additionally – she shoots people with darker skin tones so beautifully. I point this out because not everyone is able to do this and its something you should consider when looking for a photographer (if you fall into this category like I do).
Not only did I have Maria shoot our wedding, we had a huge party months later that I also flew her to Texas for because we just had to have her again.
If you made it this far in my review you should understand by now that I loved having Maria as our photographer and I’m very confident that you will too. Go book her asap!”
“Maria Newman is one of the most talented photographers you could work with — her images are super clear and balanced and also capture the feeling of the occasion perfectly. She takes extra effort to get to know who she’s working with and puts forth tender care and attention to detail throughout every step of the way. My wife and I feel profoundly fortunate to have had Maria photograph our wedding and strongly recommend her for your consideration. Many photographers can take pretty pictures but few can tell a story the way Maria does. Maria has a gift with visual storytelling and we will cherish these images from our wedding day forever.”
“Maria captured our special day perfectly! We couldn’t be happier with our stunning photos. They truly embody exactly how we wanted our wedding to feel and how we will always remember the day- intimate and warm with fall feels. Maria was super easy and nice to work with- she is compassionate, genuine, calm and passionate- such a lovely presence to have around on a crazy and overwhelming day. She was so smiley and kind to our guests, several guests commented on how great she was. On the day of she was always in the right spot at the right time yet blended in perfectly so she never felt like someone working. There was a moment when dinner was starting and the rain clouded sky lit up just right and she was able to quietly whisk us away to capture my favorite pictures of the day… totally unplanned and un-posed action shots of us running around. SO perfect. With almost 150 guests and only one of her she somehow managed to photograph every one of our guests at some point throughout the day. Maria is incredibly talented and we highly recommend her, and in fact we already have!”
“I can’t say enough about Maria. From the very beginning of my planning process, she was incredibly kind, helpful and by far my favorite vendor. Her work is ridiculously beautiful and she is a joy to work with. We had an intimate wedding with under 40 guests and Maria felt like one of our closest friends. All of our guests commented on how great she was and our sneak peak photos are blowing everyone away. She definitely went above and beyond for us and we are so appreciative of her. Cannot recommend enough!”
“I cannot recommend Maria enough! An entire paragraph could be written on how talented she is, but her gorgeous images speak for themselves. She makes magic happen at weddings, catching all the details and in-between moments, and delivers such beautifully authentic photographs. It was a lovely experience working with her, and so reassuring to know that, through an already stressful time, we were in good hands. Thank you, Maria, for capturing all the love at our wedding! We will cherish these photographs for a lifetime!”
“Maria is the absolute best! She’s so sweet and incredibly talented. If you’re looking for a photographer that can capture the moments and emotions of you day through a collection of candid photos you’ll cherish for the rest of your life, you found her. We really felt like we were able to live in the moment and experience the emotions of the day without having to stop for photos. We are in love with the photos! It’s like reliving the day every time we look through the album. We can’t recommend her enough!!
“Thank you for everything! You exceeded all of our hopes and expectations! I loved getting to know you at MyMoon’s bar the night before. By the time we were taking photos it already felt like we were old friends. You were so calm during the rush of the morning, and I cannot thank you enough for that! You made the day feel like a breeze and you made the photoshoots feel so natural. You have such a beautiful heart and your adventurous spirit, mixed with your stunning ability to capture the mood of any moment makes you a total treasure! We’re beyond grateful and honored to have had you photograph such a special day.”
