GET TO KNOW MARIE
Sun-kissed mornings and salt-tousled evenings — that’s where my heart comes alive. I believe in effortless elegance, in laughter that echoes down cobblestone streets, and in savoring the beauty of what’s right in front of us.
Start by describing what makes your work or art come alive. What fuels your creativity or passion? Maybe it’s the laughter between two people in love, the calm before the ceremony, or the quiet beauty of everyday moments.
Then, paint a picture for your readers. What do your days or sessions feel like? What sights, sounds, or emotions define your brand’s world? Give them a sense of place, like they’re right there beside you — hearing the sea, feeling the breeze, seeing your art unfold.

I’m a Maryland wedding photographer with more than a decade behind the camera, combining thoughtful direction with the instinct to recognize when a moment needs room to unfold. My work blends fine art composition, editorial portraiture and documentary storytelling, from the quiet anticipation of a wedding morning to the last song on a crowded dance floor.
Beyond weddings, I bring that same intentional approach to maternity, newborn and family sessions throughout Maryland, Washington, DC and Northern Virginia.
ARTFUL DIRECTION.
HONEST CONNECTION.
