“These works of art speak to every reason why I wanted to hire you in the first place – the gorgeous lighting, the emotion, the attention to detail. All of that together with the pleasure it has been working with you throughout this whole process, we feel so lucky to have had such a wonderful experience with a top-notch photographer. “
“I have been over here brimming with excitement since you sent the gallery and have been anxious to write you a note expressing my gratitude, if words can even do it justice. These photos were the highlight of my week, and I know they will always be my favorite things and the best photos of my life. Needless to say, I am so obsessed and beyond happy with all of them!
There are so many stunning images and I deeply appreciate your artistic edits/crops on many of them. I love that they look so genuinely like us and represent the emotions we truly felt on that day. We keep saying we want to relive our wedding over and over again, and thanks to your talents in capturing the candid, realistic moments, we can get pretty darn close!
In my experience, it’s not common to find a wedding photographer who looks through the lens with so much care and connection as you do, I’m so happy we found you and you agreed to photograph our day! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for these photos, each one is a treasure we will cherish for a lifetime.”

“Picking Maren was one of the best vendor choices that I made through the whole wedding planning process! On a day where emotions are running so high her calm nature allowed me to feel so comfortable.”
“Maren was so wonderful to work with from the very start. She is quick to respond and gives a lot of good feedback in how to properly set up a day of timeline. Her assistant was also a joy to work with and she took amazing photos of my infant son which is no easy task! Picking Maren was one of the best vendor choices that I made through the whole wedding planning process!”

“Choosing Maren as our photographer was our best decision. We got more from her than we even knew to hope for. Her pictures beautifully and delicately captured all of the emotions of our day. We will treasure our photos forever.”
“Our wedding would not have been the same without Maren! Her pictures beautifully and delicately captured all of the emotions of our day. Maren is also delightful herself. She made the process of everything so easy, comfortable, and happy for us. She navigated the quirks of our extended family relationships seamlessly, and she was a joy to spend the day with. Count yourself lucky if you get to use Maren for your own special day!”

We’re so thankful to have our memories so beautifully preserved!”

“Having Maren as our photographer was absolutely one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. I reached out to her on a whim, because I had seen her beautiful work from a friend’s wedding and loved her style more than any other local photographer. To my complete surprise, she said yes and was able to work within our limited budget. I was so grateful. Her pictures turned out amazing, and she is so sweet to work with. I really feel like she captures the best in you, and the mood and joy of the whole day.”

“Maren photographed our wedding just two weeks ago and after looking at the 100 preview photos she sent us, we know we made the right choice! The photos are so beautiful and exactly what we wanted. Maren picked all the right moments to capture, she always made us and the rest of our wedding party/guests feel comfortable and was incredibly easy to work with.”

“Maren is such a gracious, talented photographer! She captured one of the most precious times of my life and gave my family and I the opportunity to relive each moment through her photos. I cannot thank her enough for the time she dedicated to my big day. My husband and I are so fortunate we found Maren for our wedding! I could not recommended her photography services more highly to any future bride!”
