DESTINATION WEDDING & ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER—NEVADA & BEYOND

Documenting the real and raw through emotion-filled imagery.

I believe in capturing your story exactly as it is—with all the real, raw emotional moments that make it yours.

You deserve photos that are candid, comfortable, and completely YOU. 

THE TIGHT EMBRACES. THE ALMOST KISSES. THE WIND-BLOWN HAIR. THE IN-BETWEEN MOMENTS NO ONE ELSE SEES.

Nothing is more important to me than documenting moments that reflect you and who you are as a couple. Together we will preserve the moments that matter most, not only from a day but also create an experience beyond just beautiful images. I want to give you photos that bring out real feelings and raw emotions so that you can look back and relive each moment long after your day has gone and passed.

Not only did we have a ton of laughs during the shoot, but the photos also came out beautiful! Her editing & color work set the mood for our love so well. I highly recommend Maria and couldn’t have asked for a better photographer.”
