The pictures were lovely
I usually hate pictures of myself. I'm always so self conscious and hate how I look in them all the time. But my wedding photos made me feel beautiful. She caught so many beautiful moments that can never be repeated and the candid moments are now forever there. Pre wedding she was so helpful in getting things moving. I had no idea what to do I felt overwhelmed but she helped guide me through it, straightforward about what she needed from me. She is so easy to talk to so asking questions etc was super easy.

Amazing! Don’t hire anyone else…
Wow… honestly that’s all I can say.
Maria was professional from the beginning and was so easy to work with. We have never taken professional pictures but she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. If not for her, we would have had awkward poses and looked uncomfortable.
She made sure I got all the shots I wanted and even had some great suggestions.
Her positive and happy personality made her a pleasure to work with and I hope to use her services again.

Maria the photographer review
Maria was an excellent photographer. We did the 8 hour package which included a free engagement session. For the engagement session she went a little overtime at no additional cost so we could get photos at two different locations in canmore and the photos all turned out great. She is a very nice, fun, professional photographer. We have already received some sneak peak photos back from the wedding (under a week later). These photos look even better than the engagement photos! They turned out excellent. I am excited to see the rest of the photos and know they will turn out great. She is quick to respond and has a way of showing connectionin her photography. I would recomend Maria to any of my friends and family in need of a photography service.

It was so wonderful to have Maria as our photographer for our wedding. She made us feel very comfortable and we really enjoyed the whole process. Maria definitely knew what she was doing and we loved her style of photography. Maria was also prompt and responds quickly to any questions that arose. Overall, Maria captured the most beautiful moments of our wedding and we couldn't be happier.

Very friendly and professional
Maria was so lovely and amazing to work with! Both my husband and I are not used to taking pictures so she helped direct us and made us feel at ease. Our entire family loved working with her during the wedding ceremonies. It's obvious she researched the venues and our cultural/ religious ceremonies prior to the event so that all the important moments were captured. The pictures all turned out so beautiful!
