Hey, I’m Mara - the person behind the photographs.
Photographer, storyteller, professional third wheel, and firm believer that the best celebrations involve really good food, people you adore, and at least one questionable decision on the dance floor.
I’m here for the photographs you planned for, and especially the ones you didn’t.I fell in love with photography because of its ability to make something fleeting feel permanent. A look that lasted half a second. Your mom’s hand on your shoulder. The way the room felt just before everyone sat down for dinner. Your best friend already crying before you’ve even put the dress on.
Those are the things I notice. Of course, I love the beautiful stuff too. The fashion, the florals, gorgeous light, thoughtful tablescapes, a really good pair of shoes. I could happily photograph those details all day. But beautiful details mean so much more when there are real people and real stories woven between them. That balance has become the heart of my work: imagery that feels editorial and intentional, without ever losing the life inside it.
I want your photographs to be beautiful...But I want your memories to be even better.
I never want you to look back at your wedding and remember spending half of it taking photographs.
You should remember the champagne. The nerves. The hugs. The slightly chaotic getting-ready room. How your person looked at you during the ceremony….
And the moment everyone collectively decided it was time to take their shoes off.
My job is to preserve all of that without pulling you out of it.
A little more about me.
I’m a Florida-based wedding photographer with a soft spot for love, fashion magazines, and booking a flight somewhere I’ve never been before.
When I’m not photographing weddings, you can usually find me reading romance novels, antiquing, or trying a new recipe.
I’m inspired by old photographs, beautiful interiors, fashion editorials, imperfect film, places with history, and the tiny details people leave behind without realizing it.
I’m also the person who will notice that your necklace has twisted around before a portrait, carry emergency safety pins in my bag, get genuinely excited about your flowers, and probably tear up behind my camera during your vows.
I take the responsibility of photographing your wedding incredibly seriously.
I just don’t think we need to take ourselves too seriously while doing it.
I’ve told you about me… Now I want to hear about you.
Tell me how you met.
Tell me where you’re getting married.
Tell me about the dress you can't stop thinking about, the people you're flying across the world to celebrate with, and the part of the day you're most excited to experience.
Give me all the details.
I have a feeling we’re going to make something beautiful together.
