weddings & elopements

Weddings & elopements across Houston, 30A & locations worldwide.

it's personal

if it's anything

My clients resoundingly share that being photographed by me feels natural - they feel comfortable and safe being themselves - and, that shows in their photographs in a way they haven't experienced before - in a deeply personal way - so much so that they keep returning year after year.

It's more than just photography, it's celebrating and savoring what is real and meaningful to you. 

My approach is simple, powerful, and transformational, to simply hold the space for you to see and be seen -- as you are
in a way that rings true to you and that grows in significance with each passing year.


 

I believe in an underlying connection where what we want, more than anything else, isn't to just *remember* the moments of our past. What we want is to love and be loved as we are, to fully embody and feel into each moment. Even ironically so, in this guarded and filtered world. 

If you believe this too ... well, my friend, you have landed in the right spot!

"Marni photographed our wedding in a way that captured how the actual day felt. We are so thankful to have images where you can see our closeness and happiness in them. Even our family members (who do not usually like to be photographed) were so comfortable with Marni and loved the photos of themselves, it's such a nice way to remember our celebration with all our loved ones."

When you look back at your photographs 10, 20, or even 50 years from now, I want you to see -- and, to really feel -- the truth of your story in them.

Whether you are having an intimate elopement, or a large three day weekend celebration, I can create a tailored package just for you.

For weddings, all of our packages include a second shooter, and both film and digital photography.

Museum-grade, heirloom albums and prints are also available.

The average couple invests $9,000 for wedding photography, and $12,000 for wedding weekends.

making it official

love at first sight!

Your fully edited gallery is delivered within 8-10 weeks of your wedding; and within 3-4 weeks of your portrait session, and is yours to download, post, and share. But ... the part that will stop you in your tracks, take your breath away, and make you wonder *what even* was life before now(!?) ... is your custom-designed heirloom album, a true work of art! 

From your engagement portrait session to every detail of your wedding, I am fully engaged and invested in your experience, so that from start to finish, my team and I can do what we do best. By the time your wedding weekend, or day-in-the-life portrait session arrives, you'll be right at home with us as trusted friends.

If the feelings are mutual, making it official is simple with your signed contract and paid retainer. I accept a limited number of weddings and portrait sessions each year and do not hold dates prior to a completed contract; up until that point, all discussions of availability are tentative.

As a believer in chance encounters and love at first sight, I also know whether you make the first move or your planner reaches out to me, we each really need to feel we are a great fit to work together. So we'll talk, we'll get to know each other. and if it feels right, I'll customize a quote specific to what is important to you and your celebration.

Couples share how much they value finding their "forever" photographer in me, which is the highest honor I can imagine. Being welcomed back into your lives for years to come, through the big milestones and especially the everyday small moments, is at the heart of my work and my why.
