seal the moment

allow me to help capture your special memories

HI!!
I'm Mariela, a North Carolina-based couples, and wedding photographer with a heart for wild love stories, belly laughs, and all the moments that make your relationship yours. Wether you're saying "I Do" in a stunning venue, on a mountain, in a backyard, or anywhere in between I'm here for it, camera in hand, heart wide open. 

 Photography isn't just my job, it's my way of celebrating love in all its messy, magical, emotional glory. I don't just show up to take pretty photos (though, we'll def get those!). I'm here to tell your story the way it deserves to be told. With heart, intention, and connection.

I'm so pumped you're here! Truly, it means the world that you're even considering letting me be a part of your day. You bring love, I'll bring the snacks, bobby pins, and 1,000% energy.
LETS MAKE MAGIC TOGETHER!!

It was so easy to work with her and she makes sure people feel comfortable. Her work is beautiful and I love the energy she brings and she is the sweetest.

got questions?

Can we add and extra hour to our package later?

Do you travel for weddings?

Do you protect our photos?

Your photos are 100% protected. I start doing so by bringing to camera bodies to your wedding. In the unlikely, but unfortunate situation where the camera malfunctions, I'll have a back up. I also have dual card slots, so when taking each image, a copy is written into the second SD card. Once i am home, I also back the up on an external hard drive.

I do! Travel fees depend of the location, and distance. 

Absolutely! All the information about overtime and the hourly rate is listed in the contract, or I'd be happy to go over that with you!
