I can’t recommend Maria enough, we booked late (well it felt late to me) and she took away all the stesss of wondering from our first zoom meeting. She was chilled and relaxed and I knew immediately we would get that on the day (which is exactly what we wanted) on the day we got so many lovely moments captured and every guest couldn’t praise her enough. I have photos of everyone who attended, in lovely relaxed settings which was the whole vibe of the wedding. ‘Special Kudos for jumping up four stairs over my dress to run to grab my engagement ring from where I had left it when I was already late.!’ Maria truly felt like part of our wedding and all the photos show that people were relaxed around her. Book her. If you can. You won’t regret it! More...

If you are considering Maria stop considering and hire her to shoot your special occasion.
I cannot of asked for a more thoughtful, enthusiastic and hilarious photographer to have for my big day.
She made me and my husband feel wonderful, she went above and beyond staying later to get the photos we wanted at our reception.
She made me laugh and smile on one of the most stressful days we've been a part of.
Most importantly she was incredibly empathetic towards the loss of my MIL shortly before our big day. My only regret is not being able to find the time to write this put sooner!
Her work speaks for itself, you will not regret hiring her.

Our photos are exactly what we wanted candid yet still elegant and beautiful.
Maria made us feel at ease even when were not used to posing at the camera.
She is one the the easiest people to get along with, she would think of amazing ideas that we never could. Thank you for the amazing pictures, moments I'll remember forever! 💕

If I could leave more stats I would, me and my wife hit the jackpot having her as our wedding photographer
Not only does her personally shine through and just so easy to get along with, she goes out of her way to get the best photos, goes abov 100percent and is just a really nice person
If you want the best for any occasion then I couldn't recommend this person enough.

Maria was absolutely fantastic! She photographed our wedding at Shustoke Barn in October and the pictures are absolutely wonderful. Maria was able to capture truly special moments between us and our guests. Maria was very helpful, calling us and keeping in touch in the run up to the big day to make sure things were exactly as we wanted. She has a beautiful photography style and we would absolutely recommend her for your big day! Thank you to Maria for giving us those memories to look back on and cherish. More...

We were let down by another photographer for our daughters outdoor photoshoot and contacted Maria. She got back to me straight away and fitted us in on the day we wanted. My daughter is only just 2 and can be shy with strangers at first but immediately Maria got her laughing and we got all of the shots we had wanted and more. Really pleased, thank you. More...

Maria was amazing, not only our photographer but she went beyond the role of photographer. She helped get the bridesmaids organised, helped to move all my things to The bridal suite and much more. She had a challenge with so many bridesmaids and Paige boys to photo but she didn’t get annoyed or fed up that many shoots needed more than one attempt. She is nice and friendly and made effort to talk to guests. I 100% recommend, We are hoping to book in more photo portraits in the near future. I can’t thank you enough Maria. ????❤️ Xx More...

We got married at Fazeley Studios in Digbeth on 1st April 2018 and Maria was fantastic! We had an initial meeting over the telephone where she introduced herself and we discussed timings and what we would like on the day. Maria was fab with her communication throughout the lead up to the day meaning that the day itself was relaxed and organised. I’m not usually someone who is confident being the centre of attention, and particularly having photos taken, but Maria’s bubbly personality really put me at ease! Our photos look amazing and I think she really captured the style of the wedding. We couldn’t recommend enough for anyone looking for a wedding photographer! X More...
