About Maria Orlova photography
Maria Orlova photography
Hi, thank you for stopping to read about me! I’m drawn to weddings for the emotion and meaning that unfold in a single day. With over 15 years photographing celebrations big and small, local and overseas, I bring a calm presence and gentle direction so you can stay present. I blend candid moments with editorial portraits so everything feels natural, cohesive, and effortless. My goal is for you to have the photos you dreamed of, ones that bring you back to the happiest day. If you want someone experienced, genuine, reliable, and fun, I’d love to talk! I take a limited number of weddings each year, please reach out to confirm availability.
Every couple celebrates differently, and my approach reflects that. Some want more direction, others barely notice I'm there. I'll meet you where you are, helping when it's needed and stepping back when the best moments are unfolding on their own. The result is a wedding gallery that feels refined, personal, and unmistakably yours.

Magical & Colorful Forest elopement
Maria was the perfect choice for our forest elopement photography. From the very beginning, Maria's communication was clear, friendly, and timely, putting us at ease as first-time photo subjects. Her artistic, professional, and sensual approach to capturing our special day was exactly what we were looking for. Maria was great at directing us - we were nervous and didn't know what to do with our hands or how to pose, but she helped make everything look and feel natural while having so much fun! Maria is a super talented photographer and also a great director. We worked with her for our elopement and also for our small wedding dinner a month later, and her photos now hang all around our house, reminding us of these special days. Hiring Maria was by far the best decision we made for our wedding. Can't wait to work with her again!

I am so glad I picked Maria for our wedding photography. She did an amazing job! Even during a stressful time, and through the rain on our wedding day, she was calm and found a way to take beautiful pictures. We absolutely love them and wouldn't change a thing! Thank you Maria!

Absolutely stunning photos!
Maria Orlova Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. Her communication style was direct and understanding throughout the entire process when we were talking about my vision for the photos. The quality of her work was truly stunning - she has an incredible editorial eye and captured so many candid, natural moments that we will cherish forever. Maria was extremely professional, on time, and direct when communicating with both my husband and I as well as our family, which I was so grateful for. She was extremely helpful in time management and making sure that all of our photography needs were met on the big day. I cannot recommend Maria Orlova Photography highly enough - they helped make our wedding day absolutely perfect!
