your wedding photography experience is like my favorite recipe -

your intimate wedding experience

it takes a pinch of planning, a dash of time, and a whole lotta love

Let’s do this together! 

Your wedding day should be an expression of you and your partner's love story, nothing else.

I know we just met and all, but I hope you already feel like we’re old friends. 

Because that’s what you deserve on your wedding day.

Someone who is as invested in your story as your guests & loved ones. A photographer who knows when to take charge to direct you two or when to step back and let moments unfold. A wedding guest who laughs with you at the bad dancing and tears up at the vows you wrote yourselves. A vendor who values the little details that you treasure so much. A past bride who has been through a wedding day and knows just how overwhelming it can feel. A friend who feels like a safe space. 

I promise to thoughtfully capture your day, but also to help you fully experience it. 

No heavy editing to squash the raw beauty of your day. Instead, just sentimental, candid captures that tell a story. No need to worry about feeling awkward, my easy direction and laid-back approach will make you feel comfy, cozy

Heartfelt, natural photos

But only when you need it! With 3 years of experience photographing weddings + elopements plus planning a wedding of my own, I can help you effortlessly plan and navigate your day. 

expert advice

From inquiry to album delivery – my goal is to make this as easy as possible for you. Weddings can bring a bit of stress and chaos, but not in the photography department. Enjoy your day! I’ll document it so you can relive it forever.

ease & comfort

Remember when I said we’re friends now? Well I meant it. So I’ll never feed you bullshit, push you toward something you don’t want, or give filtered opinions. 

no blowin' smoke

You’ll receive guides that take out the guesswork and stress Googling while planning your wedding or elopement! Inside you’ll find everything from building your timeline to preparing details and more! Client tested and approved.

 If you want a great laugh, good vibes, and a comfortable experience while capturing your special moments, she’s your girl!!

Maura has always been my go to girl for photos. We’ve loved having her capture our family moments and I knew I would love having her as our engagement/wedding photographer. SHE DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Our wedding photos are beautiful and it’s so nice to have these memories to look back on forever.

-Liz and Nate

Maura has taken MANY of our photos and every experience has been nothing short of amazing. 

She has shot single photos of myself as well as my husband and I couple photos, engagement photos and she’s recently taking some of our most precious photos our gender/baby announcements and also we or first family session. She’s kind, caring, gentle and really makes your feel beautiful in front of the camera especially for someone like me who is extremely self conscious. Every time i receive a gallery from Maura, i am blow away at how every photo is amazing, i have to admit I cry every time. If you’re looking for a photographer who put hers clients First and will provide you with photos you can cherish forever, I HIGHLY recommend Maura!

- Masee and Noah

"Maura is fantastic! I have worked with her several times and plan on using her again."

Her photos are gorgeous and she makes you feel so comfortable/confident. I love that she sent us sneak peeks before she sent the full gallery. I ordered prints from her and got them very quickly. 10/10 recommend.

Photos - after absolutely everything - are the things that live on. After death, family changes, new beginnings and sweet times that have passed - all you've got to remember these moments by are pictures. 

That's why I care so much about what I do - you and your story - these are not things I take lightly at ALL when someone chooses to invest into working with me. Sentimental moments deserve a tangible space in your lives and I truly want you guys to have the best wedding day.

So whatever that looks like: bringing your dog along with you, dress how YOU want to look and what makes you feel like YOU, visit someplace new, visit somewhere sacred to you two, get married in your parents' backyard - anything. 

Don't please anyone else but yourselves. This is all for you. Come as you are, whoever you are. You are free to take up space here.

Photos are what remain
