PORTFOLIO

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.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND MAYA! Not only did she capture photos that fully encapsulated the essence of our wedding but she was so easy to work with every step of the way from inquiring, to booking, and then delivering our photos. She has a very calm and helpful presence which is really great on your wedding day.

Hannah + Justin

“Maya is truly the best. Her photos speak for themselves, and she goes above and beyond to make your experience a good one! She knew when to take charge and when to let the right moments unfold. We felt so comfortable and natural being photographed by her. Can’t recommend her enough.”

Lizzie + Jack

“Maya truly stuck out to me as being exceptional – from her professionalism, creative direction, and ability to stay on track through the craziness that is wedding day. I would absolutely recommend her to any couple searching for a photographer!”

Emma + Ben

“She was a joy to be around all day and was also direct with us when we needed to knock out pictures quickly. Her effort throughout the day (and at our rehearsal, which I highly recommend people hiring her for additionally) was unmatched, and I cannot wait to see our full gallery!”

Sarah + Marc

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 vow to be the antidote to wedding-day chaos.
