Portland Wedding Photographer for Sincere, Refined Love Stories

A Professional Observer, If You Will

I'm Maria, a Portland-based photographer with over 15 years of experience and a particular affection for the fleeting, often overlooked details that make our lives so vibrant and unique. I like to think of photography as a form of translation, I'm here to write down your day in photographs, so that every time you return to your album, you can immerse yourself in the extraordinary day shared with your favorite person and your community. My recipe for this is a blend of documentary observation and editorial sensibility. I prefer being everywhere without drawing attention to myself. And while you're my main focus, I also capture everything you don't get to see: the look in your parents' eyes as you say “I do,” your college friends doing shots and cheering you on, or your best friend telling their plus-one they knew this was exactly what would happen the moment you two met. All those little moments you might otherwise never get to see.
