There you are,
I’ve been looking for you
The Experience
“I believe that marriage isn’t
between a man and woman,
but between love and love.”
—FRANK OCEAN
We’re not actually going to have a happenstance meeting at a grocery store determined by kismet, but we can plan a consultation to get to know each other and make sure it’s a good fit! Afterwards I’ll send a contract with some galleries for you to look over before fully committing for your big day.
After nailing down all the logistics and reading over some helpful planning tips for your wedding, it’s time to sit back and ENJOY IT. Shake your booty with your sweetie on the dance floor, cry while hugging your bestie… whatever happens I’ll be there capturing every moment.
Within a week of your event I’ll send you some sneak peeks to enjoy! From there, sit back and relax while I work my magic. You can expect to receive your online gallery within 12 weeks at most. You get high resolution and web sized downloads so you can treasure your photos for years to come and also have instant gratification by immediately sharing them on social media. It’s all about balance.
The investment
Hello, darlings! Chances are you’re here because you want photography that feels natural, unposed, and more than anything you want to have a laid-back wedding day and enjoy the ride.
Well, you’ve found your girl. I believe that photos should make you feel something. My goal is for you to have a visceral experience when you look back on your wedding photos, I want you to be transported to that moment and time and remember exactly what it felt like.
My style is all about capturing the moments as they unfold. I focus on a documentary style approach to best tell the story. But don’t fret, I’ll be there giving you direction and helping to pose you in a way that feels natural and completely like you. I’ve captured over 200 weddings at this point in my career and there’s not much that can faze me.
With me, you’re going to receive some damn good photos. So let’s begin.
You get to focus on living the best day of your life, I’ll focus on capturing it.
Wedding day
Whether you’re having an enormous multi-day weekend event or an cozy backyard wedding, my answer is always “hell YES.” I’ll be there to capture all the details from getting ready with your besties to getting down on the dance floor.
Some notable places I’ve captured weddings: Palm Springs, Hawai’i, Dominican Republic, Fiji, Mexico, and beyond. I’ve got my passport ready, let’s go!

Elopement
Whether it’s just you and your sweetie or with 20 of your closest friends and family, the word “elopement” has really changed from what it used to be. It’s a more intimate affair that focuses on you and your love with a celebration with your nearest and dearest.
I’ve captured elopements pretty much all the way down the West Coast and beyond. Some notable spots are: Big Sur, Yosemite, Cape Kiwanda, Nadi Fiji, etc. What I’m trying to say is that I’ll go anywhere with you!

There’s no me without you
MADDIE & AUSTIN
“Marcela is a not only a fantastic photographer but also a great person to be around. She has that gift of capturing a moment so organically. After looking through my wedding photos roughly 3 million times, I can still feel every emotion coming through. Also amazing to work with! We instantly felt so comfortable with her, and she does a great job helping people like me, who aren’t always super comfortable in front of the camera, feel confident! Truly, we had the best experience working with Marcela, we are so grateful for her and her work!!! If you are considering Marcela to capture one of your major life events, don’t hesitate!!!”
Markie & Mehran
“Marcela is amazing. From the moment you meet her, camera bag and cheesin’ smile in tow, her love for her work is gleaming and apparent. When shooting our engagement photos, she was thrilled to understand our vision and bring it to life. In addition to taking exceptionally beautiful photographs, she’s simply a true pleasure to work with. Thank you for capturing us as we are, Marcela!”
RUBY & CHEO
“The thing that drew us to Marcela (besides the beautiful photography!) was the diversity of the people she photographed. Other photographers that we looked at seemed to be too careful about choosing ‘model-looking’ clients and the content that they displayed didn’t seem genuine – too posed. Besides being an incredibly talented, passionate, and professional photographer, she is a genuinely kind, chill, humble person. I don’t think we could have chosen a better person to photograph our day.
