I’m Mary, a Los Angeles + Austin-based wedding photographer capturing love stories since 2018. Your wedding is a precious milestone that goes by in a flash. So why fake anything for the camera? Would you rather be worrying about photos all day or feeling totally alive to take it all in? My style is a blend of documentary and editorial - capturing real, unscripted moments while also creating effortless, polished, artistic images that reflect your unique style and personality. If you're looking for authentic storytelling over the performative culture of the wedding industry, you're in the right place.

Awarded Best of Zola
OMG—where do I even begin?! Mary is truly incredible. The sneak peek alone had us in tears (happy ones!). It was better than anything I could have imagined. She captured every emotion, every little detail, and the overall vibe of our wedding perfectly. My husband and I were absolutely glowing looking through them—we felt the joy from that day all over again. She used both film and digital photographer to capture the magic! Not only is she insanely talented behind the lens, but she’s also the sweetest human ever. It’s so clear how much love she puts into her work. She made us feel so comfortable, natural, and genuinely seen on our big day. If you’re thinking about booking her, do it now. I’m so grateful she was part of our day. Thank you, Mary!!

I’m a thrift shopper who loves cozy blankets and good pasta. Now that I'm a mom (of twins!), I'm reminded every day of how important the little moments are and how important it is for me to capture them before they're gone! I like to think that my style is natural and genuine :) I smile big, love to laugh but also might cry at your first dance.

Emily was amazing! My wife and I loved all our pictures from her and Angel! Emily was punctual, professional, easy to communicate with, and really personable. The wedding was a blur at times that it was so awesome to see what other guests were doing because of the pictures. We recommend Emily over any photographer. We also highly recommend getting a second shooter. We could not be happier with our pictures!

If you have a coordinator I will immediately reach out & work with them to make sure we work as a team. I also have a list of vendors and venues if you need any suggestions.

I'm not just a photographer - I'm your calm in the chaos, your timeline wrangler, and your personal hype woman. I am a documentary-style photographer with a soft spot for messy hair, golden light, and real connection. I’m here for the wildly in love who want their day captured honestly with a touch of editorial magic. My approach is laid-back but intentional — think more feeling, less stiff posing. I believe the in-between moments are just as important as the big ones, and that your photos should feel like you. If you're planning a wedding full of meaning, movement, and magic, I already love you. Let’s make some art out of your best day ever.

I absolutely loved working with Raizah! She was very responsive and creative in thinking through the planning of our shoot—from makeup to outfits, she was my guide even when I was freaking out! Her passion and enthusiasm led us to some amazing adventures over two days in Yosemite as we captured a special moment in our lives. The photos were beyond what I could have hoped for or even imagined! Her work is truly magic; the experience and the photos are something you’ll hold onto forever.

I have a love for travel and I'm obsessed with my dog and two cats. I enjoy lots of raw, sassy humor and a little bit of sarcasm. Tequila is my go-to... all the margaritas please! The desert is where you’ll find me on any given day. There’s something so magical about that place, am I right? I love learning the little weird things about my couples and bringing out the corkiness. We all have it! If you like what you’re reading, maybe I'm the one!

Awarded Best of Zola
I knew I wanted to work with Kellie after she did my friends wedding video a few years back. We had a tight budget and she worked with us to create a highlight video for our ceremony so that we could have a video of the most important part of our day. She is very professional and came up with unique shot ideas (detail shots, dancing, active poses, etc.). The video turned out beautifully and feels unique to us and our special day. I am forever grateful for the experience I had with Kellie and the video she created for us. She is so driven and talented! Highly recommend and if you are debating getting a video or not (as I know it’s not in everyone’s budget) I would advise you to just go for it as I can’t imagine not having the video. I would have regretted it so much! Just do it…and go with Kellie too, she’s the best!

I cannot recommend Nick enough! He did both our engagement and wedding photos. He is incredibly talented at what he does! He listens and is super patient. (At the time, we had a wiggly 4 year old daughter that he understood had a limited attention span!) We didn't want a ton of still shots of us...and he still managed to get the most important ones on our wedding day. He knew we wanted to capture the fun/touching moments of our day and he did just that. Additionally, our engagement photos were so beautiful too! We plan to use Nick throughout the years as our family grows...thank you so much for locking our most precious day in time!

Hey there! I'm Paul, a husband to my high school sweetheart, a proud father of three, and always up for a new adventure. These roles deeply shape my passion for capturing genuine human connection through my documentary wedding and lifestyle photography. While I'm based in Southern California, my love for unique stories takes me wherever your celebration unfolds. I'm here for those who truly value authenticity—couples and families looking for their story to be told with intention and a deep understanding of what makes their connections special. I believe your life's biggest milestones are meant to be relived, not just remembered.

Paul Mark was the best wedding photographer we could’ve ever asked for. Our wedding looked 10x more beautiful through his lens. Literally. He really took the time to get to know my husband and me beforehand to figure out our styles and get a feel for us as a couple. We genuinely feel as though he’s one of our friends now! His editing and overall vision is incomparable. He is so SO talented. In simpler terms, he’s just the best. I would 10000% 10/10 recommend. Our photos look like they belong in a magazine! Thank you again, Paul, for everything! You’re great!!

Hey, I'm Alex! A sappy, soulful, empathic human who believes #loveislove, all relationships are uniquely special, and both sides are your good sides with a little confidence and a built-in cheerleader (aka me).

Coming from a big family with lots of personality (hellooo I'm the oldest of 8), I "get" what you're feeling as you plan this wedding and I'm here ensure you LIVE FULLY on your wedding day.

Talented. Professional. Fun. We feel like we struck gold with Alex as our wedding photographer! We wanted a photographer that could do it all: capture real emotion, help create some editorial moments, and deliver fantastic family portraits - and we got that and more with Alex. We are so happy with the results! We’re also so glad we did an engagement shoot prior to our wedding. It allowed us to get comfortable being in front of the camera and when it came time for our wedding day, it felt like Alex was just one more friend in the room who just happened to be capturing every special moment.
