Emotional & cinematic photography for couples wildly in love.

Thank you so much for thinking of me as your potential photographer, my calendar for the upcoming months is closed due to maternity leave. I will remove this notice once I am booking new clients again. Thank you so much for your understanding!

truth be told,

I’m not here to take perfect wedding photos…

I believe in authenticity. I create a relic of love as is to wildly passionate and spontaneous souls. Whether you just got engaged, are planning your wedding, or celebrating a milestone in your relationship: you deserve to remember your story, exactly the way it happened. I’ll bring the vision, you bring all the love. Deal? Deal.

“Maria is such an incredible person & photographer. She made every second of my session so personal & memorable. When my pictures came back in, I was at a loss for words. I can’t even pick a favorite!!”

I’m Maria Martins…

Iʼm Maria! I’m a wedding and elopement photographer based in the DMV region who’s passionate about other people's love stories. Hmm that does sound weird but hey- it's the truth. I thrive on genuine imagery that celebrates what makes each love unique, because I know you've got a story to tell.

“ Why does it matter who photographs my story? “

Imagine yourself years from now…. You may have wrinkles, new scars: maybe even a new color hair. But, one thing has remained the same- the way you care for each other, the uniqueness of your love. You want to remember moments as they were, and the way you felt from the inside out. I believe in authentically capturing love stories so they can forever elicit those emotions you’re feeling right now. Isn’t that what memories are all about?
