Amazing service and quality photos! We just got married this past weekend and Mariana was great to work with. She already sent us a couple sneak peek photos and they are beautiful. We appreciated her direction and honest feedback throughout the day. Plus her pricing is so reasonable. Would 10/10 recommend!

Mariana is a true gem. From our initial calls, to the very end when she gave me a big hug before leaving, we are so happy that we found her. She should be charging so much more. If you can secure her for your big day, DO IT. We felt so comfortable throughout this experience not only because Marina was approachable, but because she was instructive and direct. My bridesmaids and groomsmen kept raving about how they were never stressed because they knew Marina would pose their hands, face, body language, eyes etc. I’m big on symmetry and aesthetic and our photos are so well planned and framed. I am SO thrilled with them. When 7 groomsman had glasses on and hand in pockets, she’d make sure the 8th was mimicking them too. Our couple photos were AMAZING. I’m not super photogenic and I felt so beautiful in every single one. She felt out our personalities and adapted to them. She knew I was super particular and made the whole night about US. She wasn’t afraid to interrupt a conversation when she knew there was a beautiful sunset outside and we’d look great in front of it. She was also there every single time I turned around, which is hilarious because my husband said “no, she was following ME around.” The fact that we both felt in the spotlight all night even when we were apart, means Mariana is so incredibly thorough in her work. We got our sneak peek photos back INSANELY quick, and even as busy as she was, she still got all 900 of our photos back to us in a very reasonable timeframe. I’m so happy to have these perfect memories forever.

We are so happy with our choice to book Butterfly photography. We have never really been good at taking pictures, and Mariana picked up on that immediately and was exactly what we needed. She is incredibly nice and personable, and helped us relax and get comfortable with the process of taking hundreds of photos. I can't imagine having a better person for the job on your wedding day.
The photos came out AMAZING, and she made sure to get every single variation and location that we asked for. I highly recommend booking Butterfly Photography for your wedding!

Mariana is AMAZING - a true miracle worker, very talented photographer, and a wonderful and kind person. She did my family portraits and I was SO HAPPY with the entire experience from the initial inquiry stage, to photo shoot day, to the review of our finished photos. Highly recommend butterfly photography ❤️

I truly don’t know how to put into words how amazing our photos came out. Mariana was absolutely amazing. She is so reasonably priced and she has a great turn around time. Not to mention we got over 750 pictures back. I keep looking at our pictures and I get to relive our wedding day all over. I had asked Mariana if we could do a particular shot, our venue had a loft that over looked the dining room, so I wanted yo get a group photo of everyone. Mariana, did not hesitate, and truly captured one of the best photos we certainly will cherish forever. She is absolutely amazing, super nice and personal. Highly recommend her and her work! Thank you so much Mariana!

I am so grateful for Mariana at butterfly photography! We got married at Foxwoods casino & had the request for only indoor pictures! Mariana scooped out the casino looking for the best place for everyone to take pictures! She is incredibly hands on when it comes to posing for pictures making sure everything looks perfect & her attention to detail did not go unnoticed! She advocated for me (the bride) for what I felt most comfortable doing which was very appreciated! Her professionalism& communication throughout it all helped immensely with the chaos of planning a wedding! I will recommend Butterfly photography to everyone!

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Mariana for our wedding a few months ago, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the results! Something we really loved was how she helped us throughout the day with how/where to pose for a photo, or she would grab us for a photo when she had a vision of something that would look nice. Her attention to detail and keen eye for composition are truly exceptional, resulting in a stunning collection of images that beautifully tell the story of our special day.
Throughout the entire process, Mariana was incredibly organized and responsive. The turnaround time for receiving our photos was impressively quick, and the quality was outstanding. The clarity, color, and emotion captured in each image were beyond anything we could have imagined. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had her as part of our special day!

Mariana was the BEST! She was professional while making us feel totally comfortable in front of the camera (which isn't natural for us). Couldn't have asked for a better person to capture our wedding day!

I have been telling anyone who will listen about our amazing experience working with Mariana. My husband and I don’t know how and where to pose for photos. She told us exactly what to do and our photos are beyond what we had hoped. Our wedding parties are even raving about their photos. We are so grateful that our day is forever beautifully captured. Thank you so much!!!

Mariana was excellent at our wedding. We are so pleased with her work. She is responsive, adaptable, and has an excellent eye for photography. We got married on a farm and we weren't sure which parts of the property would look best for photos. Mariana took the reigns with locations and posing us and the pictures we've seen so far are gorgeous. She was calm and direct which helped us during couples shots and also when helping all of our family members pose for group shots. She sent us a sneak peek not even 24 hours after the event completely unprompted and it was so wonderful. We look forward to seeing the full batch. I can't recommend her enough!!

Working with Butterfly Photographer was an amazing experience! She listened to all my ideas and even offered suggestions when I couldn't think of places to have our engagement photo shoot at. She was able to accommodate our engagement photo shoot on the 4th of July and got our photos to us within a couple weeks. For our wedding day, she arrived right on time and even suggested we go to a local park so our wedding photos would look beautiful and memorable as our venue didn't really have greenery for our photos. We received our wedding photos exactly one month after our wedding and they are absolutely stunning! I can't thank Butterfly Photography enough for her beautiful work, communication, understating and timeliness. I would definitely recommend her!

We hired Mariana for our wedding which just happened on October 23 2021. She is very responsive, friendly and the prices are very good. She is reliable and even let my 3 year old grandson hold her camera with her to take a few pictures. I can't wait to see the pictures when they are ready. I trust she will do a fantastic job with them.

Mariana was the absolute best to work with! She was extremely professional and I swear she was flying all over my wedding. I loved how flexible she was. The shots came out so beautifully. The candid photos of the reception literally look like a concert. I'm so in love with everything and I'm so happy we chose her as our photographer! If you want someone who will capture great memories I would definitely go with Mariana. Her work is absolutely awesome!
