You're planning a day that's rooted in tradition but has zero interest in taking itself too seriously, a wedding that your friends and family are still texting about a week later; California beauty, color and whimsy, and a dance floor that gets destroyed as soon as it opens. You value laughter caught mid-cackle over "now chin-up and smile!" and you want a photographer who can read the room, be the calm during the chaos, and photos that transport you right back to your wedding day - a little wild, a little sentimental, all you.

about MAYA ROSE
"She is so down to earth, easy to work with, and has a gift to make you feel comfortable.
With the belief that you shouldn't have to be anyone but yourself, I bring a calming presence and true authenticity. My use of film and digital imagery meets the needs of the moment, from the unexpected tears to the jam-packed dance floor. I believe in presence and truth over posed perfection and I promise to be the anti-dote to wedding-day chaos.
