When I photograph a wedding day, my priority is you. My process is intentional and involved; this is more than just a “job.” Inquire and let me show you all that is included, such as an engagement session, a second shooter, and a beautiful complete online gallery!
If you’re looking for specific coverage, send us an inquiry and we can chat about a custom package.
An engagement session is included in all wedding packages, however, if you would like to schedule an photoshoot for you anniversary or just to capture the chapter you're in, we can absolutely do that!
Capturing each chapter of your journey is exactly what I love doing. Whether your next chapter is a maternity or a family session, my goal is to capture your best memories with authenticity and joy. Reach out and let's dream up your session!
When I capture a wedding day, my priority is your story. Reach out and get to know myself and my process – it’s in depth and I am involved at every step of the process. I’m here to serve you.

Every moment of your wedding day is intentional. My photography and the way I document these moments is the art behind it – I highlight the natural colors, the sunlight, warmth, and nostalgia created. This documentary approach I take is what allows me to capture your story with all of its elegant, wild, love-filled moments.
Dante says "the love which moves the Sun and the other stars," referring to the awe-inspiring notion that the love that created our very universe is gracefully gifted to us from God, within a marriage. What you see in wedding photos is both beautiful visually and also divinely beautiful as a relationship gifted to us from above. Your marriage should be honored as such.
Your wedding day is filled with moments that mean the world to you. They tell your story. As your photographer, I’m here to capture the little details that hold significance to you. From an intentional ceremony, to ringing in your marriage with a loud, rowdy, and energetic party – I’m here for it.
We’ll discuss your wedding-day vision, your design themes and ideas, and any other details. But most importantly, we’ll talk about your story – how you met, your favorite things about each other, your hopes and dreams, all of it!
If we’re a perfect fit together, I will send over a contract & invoice; this will include all the logistics and information you need to know about how the booking process will proceed! A 50% non-refundable retainer is required to secure your date!
This meeting will be happen 2-4 weeks before your wedding. At this meeting, we will go over final details and I will put together a wedding day timeline with each photo opportunity so your day runs seamlessly.
For regular sessions (engagements, couples, families, etc.), you will receive your photos within one to three weeks. For weddings, you will receive your photos within 4-8 weeks. If you need your photos faster, we can discuss this when booking and make sure we arrange something that checks your boxes!
Much of my artwork and process is defined by my editing process, and for that reason, I do not send edited photos. In the same way, a painter would not give you a half-finished painting; I would not be satisfied only giving you a half-finished product, and I hold my work to a high standard. If you are unsure of my work, you can see full galleries on my ‘recent work’ page to get a complete grasp of my editing style!
I do not use Photoshop to edit your face or body or to dramatically alter your surroundings. My packages include color editing and light retouching, as well as minor cosmetic tweaks when needed, such as blemishes, sunburns, etc. I will also remove anything in the backgrounds of images that diminish the photo, such as trash, construction, etc., as best as I can.
I would LOVE to travel to photograph your wedding! My work has taken me all over the country, from SoCal to Vermont, and I am always up for a new adventure. If you are getting married in a bucket-list destination, send me a message, and we can discuss a massive discount!
After we discuss what you’re looking for in a wedding photographer and make sure that we are a good fit, I will send you a contract, which allows you to sign and pay a retainer. This secures your date and from there, we schedule your engagement session and begin timeline planning! WOO-HOO!
Everyone feels this way when taking their engagement photos, and it is totally normal! I will help you when picking what to wear, creating a mood board, picking a location that is significant to you, posing, etc. until we make sure that you are 100% comfortable and happy with your photos. Ultimately, if you are with your honey, you’ll probably forget that I’m there and that’s the goal!
We were absolutely blown away by Markella's photos of our magical day. She captured the genuine spirit of all members of the wedding party, us as excited newlyweds, and our guests. She directed me and my husband in our poses so that we didn't have to ever wonder what to do with our hands, where we should be looking, and they came out stunning. She was extremely prompt and efficient, always responding to emails and texts quickly, eager to help and excited about our day, which in turn made us even more excited. She got us our photos back in record time, and we can't stop looking at them! Her energy is warm, welcoming, positive and fun-- which is contagious and further reflected in our photos. I would recommend Markella for any wedding of a family member or close friend, because I know how wonderful of a job she would do.
Markella was hands down one of the best decisions for our micro-wedding. Her personality is unmatched. Her commitment to getting the perfect pictures is incredible. She took a commanding lead and knew how to direct us to get stunning shots. She has great communication skills and an even better energy. Although we only had 14 guests at our microwedding, her presence was natural as if she was an old friend. Since we had a destination wedding in a different state, we had never met her before, but it didn’t seem that way. She radiates positivity, and makes the perfect hype woman. We felt so lucky to have her there. Her experience shows in her professionalism, and in her work. Every picture is beautiful, and gets compliments from everyone. She got our pictures to us in record timing. I could not recommend her enough, 6/5 stars.
Markella was absolutely wonderful to work with. From the outset to our big day, working with Markella was an ease. Her friendliness and patience were on full display the day of our wedding. For our wedding, my wife and I wanted to take individual photos with each and everyone of our guests. It wasn't easy but Markella was there to guide us through the whole process. We must have taken about one hundred different photos. This was on top of the many many other photos she took that day. They all came came out amazing, we love all of them. There is one we love so much that we are in the process of getting framed to hang in our living room. Thank you Markella, we couldn't have done it without to. To anyone reading this, we would highly recommend Markella to photograph your wedding and capture it beautifully.
Markella is a category all her own. She is kind, patient, creative, and so prompt. She did our engagement and wedding photos that we will cherish until the end of time. She is detail-oriented and passionate about her art. She is literally open to any and all ideas! If I ever had a question or suggestion about anything, she was all ears. I would highly recommend Markella for any photography needs.
