I focus on raw and authentic moments. I’m very intentional about drawing out emotion and creating a story. Your experience with me is important. I want you with stomach muscle pains from laughing so much and overall feeling happy and excited to see the love we captured.

Kati was so easy to work with the entire process. She was responsive to all my crazy request and was always down for whatever. She felt like a friend the entire day even though I had just met her. I have got so many compliments about my gorgeous pictures that she had taken and they are scattered throughout my house. I loved her so much I have booked her numerous time after and have had the honor of her photographing some huge moments in my life that I will forever be thankful for. I will always have these gorgeous pictures to help me remember these moments in my life!

We're Jaira + Jesse. We’re equal parts homebodies and avid travelers. We had a traditional wedding, and while it was the right decision for us at the time, looking back it could’ve been so much more intentional, focused on us + our relationship, and the things we’re the most passionate about. Because of that, we have grown to be super passionate and dedicated to helping couples create elopements and intimate weddings that are the truest reflection of themselves in the places that inspire them the most and documenting that for them.

Jaira and jesse have been 2 of our favorite people for a long time and to have them take our engagement and wedding photos was such a dream. The engagement pictures felt like just going on an adventure with our best friends on top of a mountain. And our wedding photos we were able to be ourselves and they captured all of the best moments. We look back at all our photos at least once a month and are always in love. They are truly incredible at what they do and I can’t recommend them enough. If your looking for a laid back, down for anything photographer these are your people too!

Maya Moves was created for the couples who don't want to look like they've taken months of classes, but also don't want to just sway in place the entire time. The 1 hour lesson starts by reviewing details about your wedding. The recommended length for the dance is short, 1:30-2m. Then, you will learn how to stand comfortably together & 3-4 signature moves (typically a dip, and other moves that fit the vibe of your song). You won't learn traditional moves, like the box step or the waltz, but rather easy moves that beginner dancers can look good doing. Maya Moves offers private wedding lessons, both in NYC and over Zoom.

Maya is an amazing teacher! She really made it so easy for me and my husband. She understood exactly what we were going for and helped us decide on the perfect moves and length of time for our first dance. We felt so comfortable up there and our guests loved our dance!! Thank you Maya!!

We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

Awarded Best of Zola
Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.

Just the most professional, warm, friendly, and proactive team we could have wished for. They were especially great at communicating with us in the lead up to the event and along sure we had covered everything in advance. I would recommend them one thousand percent for a bride or event host who wants a team that honors the vision and has impeccable judgment when situations arise (as they always do!) on the fly.
