Mariana was one of our favorite people on our wedding day. She went above and beyond to keep us calm and on time as well as ensuring we were still living in the moment. She truly took care of us.

Review from Google · view on GoogleI would give 10 stars if I could! We cannot say enough amazing things about Mariana and the Butterfly Photography team! From start to finish, they were absolutely fantastic, and we were truly blown away by our photos. They exceeded our expectations in every way. Mariana has such an incredible eye and used her creativity, experience, and direction in the moment to capture so many beautiful shots we never would have thought of ourselves. We told her we wanted our photos to feel bright, light, clean, and natural, and she absolutely nailed it. Every photo feels timeless and completely us. Mariana also offers incredible value for the quality of her work. Her pricing is so reasonable and accessible, while the experience and final photos are truly top-tier. We feel so lucky to have found her and could not recommend Butterfly Photography enough! We will absolutely continue to use her for future celebrations!

Review from Google · view on GoogleWe had the pleasure of using Butterfly Photography for our wedding, and we cannot recommend Mariana enough! We chose her because we loved that she is a local small-business owner and absolutely loved her bright, beautiful photography style. From the beginning, Mariana was incredibly helpful in creating our wedding-day timeline and putting together a shot list that was efficient while still including every photo we wanted. As people who aren’t typically comfortable in front of the camera or being the center of attention, we were nervous about how the portrait portion of the day would go. Mariana immediately put us at ease. She captured so many genuine, candid moments while also guiding us through poses and making us feel completely natural in our portraits. She delivered an album of more than 800 photos just one week after our wedding, and every single photo beautifully captured the joy and emotion of our day. We are so grateful to have these memories, and we would absolutely recommend Butterfly Photography to any couple!

Review from Google · view on GoogleWe could not be happier with our experience working with Mariana. From our first conversation through our wedding day, she was professional, responsive, organized, and an absolute joy to work with. As two people who don't usually enjoy having our photos taken, we were a little nervous about being in front of the camera. Mariana immediately put us at ease and made us feel comfortable, confident, and completely ourselves. Her energy is truly unmatched. From our engagement shoot in April of 2025, to getting ready at the hotel, to our first look, and all the way through the end of the night, she brought a calming, positive presence that made every part of the day more enjoyable. She was always willing to meet, answer questions, and help us feel prepared throughout the planning process. On the wedding day, she went above and beyond to capture every important moment while somehow making everything feel effortless. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and ability to keep things running smoothly made such a difference. Most importantly, we never felt like just another client. It was clear that Mariana genuinely cared about us and wanted our day to be special. She invested so much of herself into making sure we felt comfortable, supported, and celebrated. We are so grateful for the beautiful memories she captured and cannot wait to cherish them for years to come. Hiring Mariana was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding -- and we haven't even seen the photos yet! We would recommend her to anyone without hesitation. Love, R&S

Review from Google · view on GoogleWe highly recommend Mariana to capture your special day! We’ve had the pleasure of working with her for two weddings—first my sister’s, and most recently our own in March—and both were wonderful experiences. Mariana is timely, professional, responsive, and incredibly helpful when it comes to guiding you through photos. She’s also very reasonably priced. With a large wedding party, lots of family, and many moving parts throughout the day, she kept everything organized and made us feel completely at ease. We received sneak peek photos just a few days after the wedding, followed by over 900 stunning images within a month. We truly can’t thank Mariana enough for the beautiful photos we’ll cherish forever.

Review from Google · view on GoogleWe were so very happy to have Mariana as our wedding photographer. From the first time we met her, when she took our engagement photos, she was amazing to work with, prompt, and was great at helping us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Fast forward to our wedding day, I was so impressed with her approach to the day. She was able to go with the flow in a way that helped us get all our photos done in the most efficient way, so we still had ample time to enjoy cocktail hour and mingle with our guests. This was something that was super important to us, so we really appreciated it. Mariana is so great at what she does, we put our full trust in her, and she truly delivered. We received our full gallery back just a month after our wedding and we absolutely love our photos. Our day was captured so beautifully and we are grateful to have these photos to look back on for a lifetime. We definitely recommend Butterfly Photography! Thank you, Mariana!
