"Just to be clear the pictures are amazing but the relationship behind it is even better!"
JENNIFER & SHAWN
Marianne went over and beyond what we were expecting from our wedding photographer!! Our wedding was last min and she came highly recommended by another friend photographer who was already booked for our date. So we took a leap of faith and went for it! She was so accommodating, and very professional! When I met with her she was very sweet and warm towards me and my kids! It's not ideal to bring small children to discuss business of any sort, but I was left with no other option, and Marianne made it work! I'm very greatful for that!! She held my hand and walked me through everything, explained everything to me... There was never a point where I didn't know exactly what was going on! I was already extremely impressed before the wedding day!
Wedding Day- Wow.. Just wow.. Her and her assistant did such an amazing job! Just to be clear the pictures are amazing but the relationship behind it is even better! Me and me husband were both so relaxed... It didn't feel strange or awkward.. She and her assistant Jess had us cracking up the whole time! (Made some pretty awesome pictures) she gave us great direction to get "the shot" and other times it was just us being us and she was able to capture that beautifully! I didn't give her a lot to work with and I'm still amazed by what she was able to do. My whole family just loved her! I just love her!! I would highly recommend her to anyone!!! Thank you Marianne!! I'm so glad the photographer was booked or else I never would have met you!!! ❤️
"Not only was the final result exactly what I wanted, but Marianne was wonderful throughout the whole wedding process."
AMY & MICHAEL
Our wedding photography was one of the most important things to me in the whole wedding process. Marianne delivered. Her pictures are stunning, bridal-magazine/print journalism worthy. I will run out of wall space before I run out wedding pictures I want to hang. Not only was the final result exactly what I wanted, but Marianne was wonderful throughout the whole wedding process. Our engagement session was a great primer for the wedding day. And on the wedding day, despite horrible weather, her and her team figured out picture locations while being conscious of our timeline. It really helps to have experienced professionals surrounding you on your day, especially when you don't have a wedding/venue coordinator.
"Our guests haven't stopped talking about our wedding photos."
KRISTIN & JUSTIN
Marianne and her team were such a pleasure to work with. Marianne was great throughout the process and we loved her from our very first meeting. She has great ideas and so much talent and she also makes sure that your personality shines through as well. All of the photographers were on time and balanced photos between practical images and beautiful, artsy images. I also found Imagery by Marianne to be a great value in a very competitive market! No other photographers offered as much as she did at this price point.
"Our pictures turned out beautifully, and we've received endless comments on just what a great job Marianne did!"
Christine & Geno
I would recommend Marianne to anyone who asked - her skills, talent, professionalism, and kindness far surpassed what we expected. Marianne is a true professional through and through, but is also extremely personable and friendly and puts you at ease. I was anxious about having my picture taken all day, but Marianne (and her team) made the process as easy as possible, and the results were amazing - our pictures turned out beautifully, and we've received endless comments on just what a great job Marianne did! She's got such a great eye for detail and I'm so happy we chose Marianne to photograph our big day - I can't say enough about her and her work.

EXPERIENCE
I have photographed over 300 weddings!
I have been photographing weddings for over 12 years and have worked with the best of the best in this industry.
I am continuously taking workshops and going to conferences to stay up to date on the latest and greatest trends and industry standards.
Why Choose me?
PRIVATE STUDIO
Local clients are welcome to come to my home studio for a consultation. A lovely private space full of stunning heirloom products for us to review and chat about my work and your timeline preferences.
TIMELESS STYLE
My photographic style is warm, natural and rustic chic. No need to be nervous, I walk couples through a few go-to poses and when you are comfortable, I will just turn into a fly on the wall. Giving you an action to do and hanging back, allows you to truly be yourselves so do not appear to be stiff or look unusual in front of the camera.
PERSONALIZED
Prior to the wedding day, you will receive an online questionnaire where I will learn more about your day: from how many people are in the bridal party & family photos to your timeline and important addresses.
