My love for photography is my passion. I take it with me everywhere I go, I capture pictures of my daily life and I print those pictures once a month, I know it will be worth it when I'm old and look back at life. Being a wedding photographer is a very emotional/technical thing, it is a challenge to create technically correct, well-composed, perfectly lit, beautiful images all day long, every weekend. Wedding photography is not for everyone, but it's for me! I love that challenge. Bring it on!

Awarded Best of Zola
I knew from the moment I spoke to Andrea about photographing our wedding, her communication was prompt and assertive. They provided clear information about their process and timeline, and were quick to respond to any questions we had. She helped me through the craziness of having a Covid wedding! She was so helpful and supportive of any changes we had to make! On the day of the wedding, Andrea and her team were professional and organized, capturing all the important moments with an artistic eye. The photos they delivered beyond exceeded our expectations - they beautifully documented our special day with a creative and distinctive style. We are thrilled with the end result and would highly recommend Andrea de Anda Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience. BOOK HER NOW!

We are based out of north Georgia, but we LOVE to travel wherever your heart desires. If you want to know where to find us when we're not working- Jase is probably working on a dirt bike, boat, or whatever toy he's obsessed with for the week. As for me, I'm definitely at the thrift store.

Paxton is great to work with from beginning to end. I have used her for college grad pics, engagement pics, and my wedding. Communication is always great. Locations she uses are great.

I could not be more thrilled with our choice in photographer than Sound Originals! The quality of shots we received from our wedding were stunning, and that is entirely thanks to Kevin. He was so great at working with us to create beautiful, posed shots, but my favorite photos of the night are those were he captured the live moments of joy.

I’m based in North Georgia, but always happy to travel wherever the love (and the good vibes) take me...

You’re not just another booking to me.. I truly care about creating a connection, capturing your story, and hopefully becoming friends along the way (besties if we’re lucky!!

Bohemewinterphotography was absolutely perfect for our surprise engagement photo shoot. From the very beginning, Ivanna coordinated seamlessly with my fiancé to plan and execute the surprise proposal—and she captured the exact moment he asked and I said “yes.” She even flew from Georgia to Florida to be there for us, which speaks volumes about her dedication and professionalism. Her communication was quick, reliable, and incredibly thoughtful, making the entire process stress-free (even with all the secrecy involved!). She went above and beyond by scouting local locations in person to find the perfect backdrop, ensuring every detail was just right. The photos are stunning—professional, creative, and full of emotion. She didn’t just take pictures; she captured a once-in-a-lifetime moment that we will cherish forever. The experience was seamless, joyful, and truly memorable. If you’re looking for a photographer who is detail-oriented, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in telling your story, Bohemewinterphotography is the one. We couldn’t be happier.

They loved my work. I found my professional calling. In 2009, I opened the business and started officially offering my services as a professional Atlanta wedding photographer.

She captured our personalities beautifully, and the quality was above and beyond. We were also thrilled that she was able to take so many photos with our family and friends who were with us that day as well. I was so shocked by the proposal that I kept wiping the tears off my face, but she was quick to step in and help me wipe my face without losing all my makeup! We were in a slight rush to make it to a surprise dinner that my fiancee set up, but she was able to take us to all the best spots within a limited time frame. She also did a great job at suggesting poses that were comfortable for both of us. Dani is awesome and I couldn't recommend her more for your surprise engagement! :)

My husband and I got married in September in Providence, RI. I knew I wanted a photographer that was bright and colorful because of the venue and vibe of the day. I was nervous I wasn’t going to be able to find someone and would need to settle because I planned our wedding in 4 months. The original photographer I reached out to was not available and gave me Maria’s information. I was excited that she had the availability on such short notice, but once we had our first call with her I knew we had made the right decision and the day was going to be a blast. Communication up to our wedding was precise and clear. When the day came, it felt like we had known Maria and Jackson our entire lives. It was like hanging out with some of our closest friends. They made sure we got all the shots that we wanted, but also still enjoyed every second of the day. We did do a first look so it helped with picture timing but what was considered our cocktail hour (the entire night was cocktail style) they followed us around and took candida and groups when necessary. It was perfect. Not once did we feel like we had taken too many pictures. We got married on a rooftop but they also made sure that we had shots in the city streets and a large variety of locations. When we got our sneak peaks I was truly speechless (and ugly crying). I was absolutely blown away by how PERFECTLY they had captured our day. You could feel the joy radiating from the photos and the colors and clarity was unbelievable. I am still speechless and in awe of how amazing our pictures came out. Our day was absolutely perfect but Maria and Jackson for sure made it memorable with the most breathtaking pictures. They truly tell a story and how fun the entire night was. I look at the photos constantly and I don’t foresee that stopping anytime soon. We get SO many compliments from people about how beautiful they are and everyone asks who the photographer was. I 100000% recommend MTD Photo. Hands down one of the best decisions we could’ve made for the day.

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

Awarded Best of Zola
I came across Mae’s work when looking for a photographer for engagement photos in Central Park, and I was immediately impressed with Mae and knew we were going to be incredibly happy with the results. Mae responded immediately to all my questions, day or night, and took the time to video chat with me at length twice before the shoot to discuss what we were looking for in our photos. Before the shoot, I had sent her a few examples of what I liked, and not only did the photos come out exactly how I wanted them, but were even more perfect than I envisioned. The engagement shoot itself was so much fun, and Mae made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process, despite us thinking we’d both feel awkward getting posed photos of us taken. Mae truly had a vision for what poses, locations, and lighting would work, and the execution was perfect. Some of the feedback we got from our friends was that the photos looked like a magazine, and that they were “ethereal.” Even better, Mae somehow got us the edited photos back within 24 hours of the shoot. Her pricing is also incredibly reasonable given the quality of her work, meticulousness, and experience in photography, as well as the very quick turnaround time. My fiance and I truly cannot recommend her enough, and we are excited to work with her again in the future. She is truly an artist, and any couple would be incredibly lucky to work with her!

It was amazing to see how well she flowed with our videographer, and her photos truly capture the love and excitement we had! She executed my vision PERFECTLY and I seriously cannot recommend her enough!!! Claudia is worth every penny for the best day of your life!
