My wife and I cannot recommend Maria and her beautiful photography skills more highly. We absolutely loved our images from our special day. Maria skillfully captured our venue, our guests our day and "us" perfectly. Maria simply and beautifully caught every little detail, that we painstakingly planned and put together, without being intrusive at all. We can't thank you enough. More...

My wife & I can’t recommend Maria highly enough. Her work is stunning! We’ve had so many people say that they are some of the nicest wedding photos that they’ve ever seen. Traditional or fun, natural or casual shots can be taken. She was so discreet throughout the day, we forgot she was there the majority of the time. Thank you Maria for capturing the emotion of our day. We’ll treasure them for ever. Emma & Nic Jennings More...

We had our engagement shooting with Maria and she was extremely helpful as we both felt a bit awkward at first.
She did an amazing job, the pictures turned out to be great, therefore we are even more excited about her doing our wedding photography.

Maria captured our day perfectly and we absolutely love every photo. They are the perfect memories of such a special day. She took the time to get to know us beforehand and we felt so relaxed when she was taking our photos on the day. Thank you so much Maria!

We booked Ebourne Images for our wedding in September 2018 - we couldn't be happier! Maria was amazing in the lead up to the big day, and was fantastic on the day too! We are delighted with the photos which captured the day perfectly! We would have no hesitation in recommending! More...

I honestly cannot recommend Ebourne Images enough. Maria was the perfect photographer for our wedding, capturing beautifully sentimental moments as well as the more comic ones. She certainly has an eye for the moment with real attention to detail and a mix of stylish and candid images. Communication was excellent, with Maria always being very forthcoming and helpful with enquiries. Thank you so much for everything you did to capture our special day! More...

We had Maria as our wedding photographer back in December last year and were so glad that we did. The lead up to the day was very well organised and we felt very looked after and very confident that all the images we were after would be captured. Even though a lot of the work is very natural and 'in the moment' there were a few formal family pictures we were after too, so Maria made sure that everything that we wanted from the pictures was clearly noted down and was very good at capturing everything on the day. On the actual day we started off getting ready at my parents house which was a little cramped and busy with so many people floating about but we barely noticed Maria half of this time as she was very subtle at capturing photos of everyone getting ready which was perfect in this environment and in fact throughout the day. Through the day Maria was great at capturing photos of everyone looking natural and in the moment (don't know how else to describe what i mean) which was exactly what we were after. The pictures of me and my husband in the 'couple shots' are absolutely amazing and I have to keep double taking them as they look like they are out of a magazine and its not us!! The quality of the pictures themselves are outstanding. We have friends who we have recommended who've now booked. Because of this we received some extra photo books as a thank you gift which was such a lovely touch. We can't recommend Ebourne images enough. Thank you so much again. More...

We were so pleased that we chose Maria as our wedding photographer as she was really professional, friendly and produced lots of wonderful images. We had a consultation before the day, regular email contact and our photographs were ready very quickly. The album and thank you cards that she produced were beautiful. On the day, we felt so comfortable with Maria and were confident that she would take some lovely photographs for us to remember our day and we were not disappointed. We would highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for a photographer. Thank you so much! More...

The most amazing photographer who worked so hard for us. Maria had her own amazing ideas and was happy to listen to my input on what kind of photographs we were looking for. The pictures she has taken will be treasured forever and we will look at them with fond memories. The album we have been given is beautiful in itself. Thank you so much for everything Maria, we could not have asked for a better photographer! More...

I met Maria at a wedding on New Year's Eve and knew immediately she'd be perfect for shooting my wedding later in the year. It was a great decision to ask her. The quality of her pictures is amazing, and we loved the contrast between the colour and black and white. She was the consummate professional throughout and didn't intrude on the day at all. I can't recommend her highly enough. Harriet and Liam McCann More...

We hired Maria for our wedding on New Years eve and she was fantastic from start to finish. I chose her because of the detail and atmosphere she captures in her photography which stood out and we loved the results. She was a pleasure to work with , replying straight away to any queries and we only had to wait a few days after the wedding to see our photos online which we were free to share with friends and family. We also ordered one of her beautiful albums which she prepared and sent out in no time at all. We couldn't have asked for more and would not hesitate to recommend Maria and Ebourne Images. More...

Maria photographed my wedding on the 4th June and like the other comments I was absolutely over the mood with every single picture. They were all wonderful. There wasn't one I wasn't happy with, so much so that we had to expand our album because we couldn't choose between them! Maria managed to capture all the special moments so effortlessly and handled everyone in our crowd perfectly...which I'm sure wasn't always easy! I could not recommend her highly enough. It was such a pleasure to have her at our wedding. Thank you so much Maria Szekelyhidi XXX More...

What do you love most about your job?
Being an artist requires dedication and imagination. I have twisted myself into some weird and wonderful positions to create that perfect angle. The years of yoga has proved very handy! I have dangled out of a two-seater plane at 2,000 feet to capture a pilot wedding. They took to the skies above beautiful South Coast to celebrate their wedding day. However I did suffer from a fear of flying but determined to get the shot. Having a camera to focus on, I achieved the desired result. I also think it cured my flying phobia! It's a cliche, but each wedding really is different. At the wonderfully bonkers venue of Fawley Hill, I had my ear licked by a curious alpaca as I lined up a shot and on another occasion I literally got ants in my pants after accidentally laying on an ants nest. Anything can happen on the day. I'm always ready to adapt and that's why I love my work.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have always been imaginative, be it with a camera or a paintbrush. I started drawing from the early age of three. My life-long love affair with the camera started when I was only ten years old. As a little one, my dearest toys were a film camera that belonged to my Dad and a self-built camera obscura. My playground was the photographic darkroom within my loving family house.
Why should our clients choose you?
As a qualified member of the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers (SWPP) you can be assured your wedding memories are in safe hands. In 2018 I was proud to achieve my SWPP Associate qualification, meaning I am among the elite 5-10 per cent of wedding photographers in the country.
