My names Maria and I’m a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in beautiful Connecticut. While I’ve been photographing professionally for the past four years, my love for the camera started long before that—it’s truly been a lifelong passion.
What began with capturing graduates’ milestones quickly blossomed into a full-hearted dive into the world of weddings. It’s been a whirlwind journey, filled with joy, growth, and unforgettable stories—and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

I graduated from Western Connecticut State University, receiving my bachelors degree in professional writing. I am currently on track to receive my Master's in Fine Arts from WCSU in 2026.
Being a writer has inspired my style of photography. My photos have been romanticized as "filmy" and "authentic".
I specialize in documentary style and editorial photography. Candid moments are my bread and butter!
If you are interested in photos that showcase emotions and love, let's work together!

Unfortunate for my bank account, I was diagnosed with "wanderlust" at a young age. I've had the privilege of visiting multiple countries and meet so many new people. Some of my favorite places I've visited are Florence, Paris, Portugal and Holland!
Experiencing new foods, spontaneous adventures and overall exploration is a true passion of mine.
Next abroad adventure--> Costa Rica in April!
If you have an event and are in need of a destination/travel photographer, look no further!
