About Marien J Malloy Photography

Marien J. Malloy

Head Photographer

I'm Marien, a Pittsburgh wedding photographer, and if you've ever looked at a photo of yourself and cringed, I'm your girl. Most of the couples I photograph tell me they're awkward on camera, and by the end of the night they're dancing, laughing and completely forgetting I'm there... I was born in Venezuela and I work in English or Spanish, so if your families speak both, everyone gets to feel at home. A few of my favorite places to photograph in Pittsburgh are Mansions on Fifth, Embassy Suites downtown and Sheraton Station Square.

I've spent six years learning how to read people. I'll give you little prompts, keep the energy up and guide you into moments that feel natural, so you end up with photos that look like you on your best day, surrounded by your people. Before the wedding we build the photo timeline together and plan for rain, so the day runs smoothly and the light works in your favor. You keep talking to your vendors like always, and I make sure my schedule fits with theirs. Sneak peeks arrive within a week and your full gallery within two.

    Schweitzer wedding

    Marien J Malloy Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From the moment we first spoke with Marien, she demonstrated her excellent communication skills as an active listener, providing clear and courteous guidance throughout the planning process. On the day of our wedding, Marien's passion for her craft and eye for detail shone through in the beautiful photos she captured. She even thoughtfully played some of our favorite songs while shooting, which helped us feel more relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. Marien's patience and professionalism ensured our special day was documented perfectly. We could not be happier with the final album and highly recommend Marien J Malloy Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer.

    Best wedding photographer out there!

    Choosing a wedding photographer can be tricky and nerve wracking because they are capturing your special day. We had multiple calls with Marien before the wedding and discussed everything that we wanted and what we were looking for. I love that we were able to set up a payment plan too. My husband and I were nervous because we don't love to be in front of the camera but Marien made us feel very comfortable. We felt like ourselves and were laughing 99% of the time! Marien was able to coordinate all of the family and friends for photos in a timely manner. Even with five young flower girls, she managed she to get all of the images we wanted. It was raining on our wedding day and the photos still look amazing, you can't even tell it was raining! She ended up as a part of our family! Everyone can't stop raving about our photos and how beautiful they were, and how they really captured our love. Marien is a dream to work with and we highly, highly recommend her!

    Marien was an absolute dream to work with! She is so personable and does such a wonderful job making you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Both our engagement and wedding day pictures turned out so perfect. Everything felt natural and not overly posed. On the day of the wedding, Marien even arrived an hour early to figure out the best spots around the venue to take pictures. When there was a concern of rain, she had a back up plan ready to go, which helped put my mind at ease. Marien is so sweet and truly cares about her craft. She got our photos back to us so quickly, and it was emotional getting to relive our day as we looked through them. I cannot recommend her enough!

    Marien was an absolute joy to work with. From our first conversation through our wedding day, she was warm, friendly, and genuinely lovely. She made us feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera, and her positive energy was such a wonderful part of the day. Most importantly, the photos are absolutely beautiful. She captured so many special moments, and we will treasure them forever. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend her!

I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.
In my 5 years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve never cancelled a booking. In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my colleagues or my contracted assistant. I’ll also provide you with a list of photographers from the many networking groups I’m in, so you can find the perfect replacement.
My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 4-6 weeks after your wedding. Within this time, you can also expect to receive an online gallery with high-resolution image files, so you can share the photos with your loved ones and order prints.
Typically, couples book me about 13 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.
You can expect about 80 to 100 images per hour of photographing. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors.
Yes, Pittsburgh is home base for me, from Mansions on Fifth and Embassy Suites downtown to Sheraton Station Square. I also travel to nearby towns, just ask!
