I work with couples who want to have fun, feel like themselves, and look incredible doing it. I keep things relaxed, a little playful, and never over-posed.

My motto is fun first, never stress. I’ll guide you when needed, step back when it counts, and make sure your day feels just as good as it looks.

If you’re into honest moments, good energy, and films that don’t take themselves too seriously, you’re in the right place.

I'm here for the unexpected candid  

"Maria was AMAZING to work with! She made the whole experience feel sooo comfortable and fun, which was exactly what we needed. Especially for my boyfriend who is typically camera shy. We wanted a video shoot to capture us on a “date” San Francisco, and the video turned out so beautiful and romantic and captured every little moment perfectly. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to remember this day."

Heirlooms

Here are some of my family heirlooms. Whenever I see them, I feel so much pride. They fill me with love, strength, and a deep connection to where I come from.

I’m honored by the responsibility of creating digital heirlooms that families can treasure for generations, and I don’t take that lightly. I feel incredibly lucky to create something that can become a part of someone else’s family story.

                     has been part of my life for as long as I can remember.

What began as making short films with friends grew into a lifelong passion. That same playful energy is still at the heart of what I create, helping the process feel fun and relaxed.

My background in documentary production shaped how I see storytelling, and through studying abroad and experiencing different cultures, I fell in love with capturing traditions, celebrations, and the moments that bring people together.
