"Marilia is the absolute best, and we feel so lucky that we got to work with her to capture our wedding. From our first email exchange, we knew that she understood our vision and was just as invested in the project of capturing our 150 person wedding, including extremely large extended families and friends from literally all over the world. The photos are amazing. We look like ourselves, and you can feel the emotion of the day coming through the photographs authentically. We were planning our east-coast wedding from our home on the west coast, and communication and coordination with Marilia was so easy. Her documentary style was a perfect fit for our wedding-- she captured so, so many beautiful moments, with little to no direction from us. And her eye for detail is amazing. For example, my husband and my father both wore distinctive and complementary cuff links-- without any prompting, she managed a gorgeous shot of their shirtsleeves. We opted as well for a package that included a second shooter, her colleague, Larissa. They are a natural match for one another artistically and aesthetically, and we could not be more thrilled with the breadth of the coverage that we got. Marilia helped us to prioritize the wedding experience we wanted-- we really just wanted to bask in the joy and excitement of our friends and family-- while still capturing, in incredible detail, our once-in-a-lifetime event. We are over the moon happy with of photos, and will treasure them as a beautiful reminder of our day forever."
