Her knowledge of Sedona was impressive, and she guided us to the most stunning locations that perfectly captured the beauty of the day. She listened to our expectations of our day and put together the MOST comprehensive planning document with SO many options to choose from."
"She eliminated hours, I mean HOURS of research."
We found a photographer, a cheerleader, and a connection in Maria. She was our biggest hype woman that day. It made our confidence soar. There's just something about Sedona itself. Then pair that with someone who has a true passion and love for their work like Maria.... MAGIC.
"Maria delivered a set of elopement photos that brought tears to my eyes…
She had a great eye for detail and was fantastic at coaching us through poses, making us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. She is a gem and kind soul with incredible talent and cares for the success of the day as if it were her own.
