ALL ABOUT mariah

I create photographs that preserve the feeling of your favorite moments—so you can hold on to them, forever."

the Vision

I was the girl with a camera in hand on the yearbook team, chasing the in-between moments and trying to freeze the feeling of what it meant to be there. I didn’t know it yet, but that was the beginning of a lifelong love for telling real stories through photos. When friends started asking me to take their engagement photos, I fell head-over-heels for capturing giddy, can’t-wait-to-get-married love. And there was no turning back.

Since 2015—when my mom and I bought a camera ‘for the family’ and I never gave it back.

About MARIAH

A few years later, I was planning my own wedding—in the middle of COVID. I remember the stress, the uncertainty, and the constant pivots. But here’s the thing: when I look back at my photos, I don’t see any of that. I see sunshine, laughter, and the moment I married Seth surrounded by people who hadn’t seen each other in months. My photos remind me that it was beautiful. It was meaningful. It was ours.

That’s the kind of experience I want for you. I want you to look back on your wedding photos and feel every good thing all over again—the joy, the tears, the hugs, the love. Because no matter how wild the planning gets, this day is about so much more. And it deserves to be remembered for what it truly was.

At the heart of it, I do this because I believe memories matter. Not the posed, picture-perfect ones—but the real, fleeting ones you never want to forget. The moment your dad sees you in your dress. The way your partner squeezes your hand during vows. The tearful hugs, the quiet nerves, the loud laughter. These are the moments that become legacy—the ones your kids will flip through someday and say, “Wow. Look how in love they were.” I photograph weddings so you can hold onto what it felt like to live your favorite day.
