Small Weddings

The party you’ve always dreamed of.

Can you picture it? All your favorite people (or up to 75 of them) in one place; someone’s definitely going to cry during your vows; all the hugs, selfies, and echoes of “congratulations!”; celebrating your commitment to each other while also honoring the other important relationships in your life.

Don’t even worry about the details, I’ve gotchu. From photo timeline planning and vendor recommendations beforehand, to dress fluffing and memory capturing on your big day; I’m here to serve you in any way.

“We could not be more happy with our decision to have Maria capture our special day! From the first meeting, to viewing our album, and everything in between, she made the whole experience a dream. She was so personable and fun to work with...We are over the moon with our wedding album and I know that we will always treasure these special memories captured by Maria.” - Austin & Katie

FAQ’s

  • I hear some variation of this pretty frequently, but don’t worry, everything about the experience I offer is meant to help you relax and be your best selves in front off the camera.

  • Absolutely, just tell me what you need! I have an entire wedding planning guide which you will receive once booking is completed. And I'll also help you create a custom photo timeline for your day.

  • Short answer, as much as you’d like! When it’s time for me to capture you on one of the most important days of your life, I want you to feel like you’re being photographed by a friend.

  • I tailor the energy I bring and directions I give to you as a couple and the kind of experience you want to have. I am not the photographer who will pose you from your head to your toes, but I won’t leave you wondering what to do.

  • I’ve spent years gaining experience photographing in a wide range of conditions, so don’t worry if it’s overcast, rainy, or the sun is come and go. Wind and even a little bit of rain not only adds unique character to images but it can also make for a really fun time! The weather in North Idaho is unpredictable at best, so rolling with what the day brings is part of the adventure.
