Mariah R. Photography & Film 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Des Moines, IA for additional fees

Light and bright, timeless photographs and videos for weddings and couples. ND, New England & CA based, available for travel. I describe myself as kind of Type A, kind of Type B. When it comes to photographing your wedding, I take a mixed approach of being a "fly on the wall" and guiding when appropriate. Lots of times my couples see their galleries and noticed things they had no clue even happened during the day. Candids and true documentary style photographs are what I strive to provide, as well as traditional photographs and poses.

If I could give Mariah more than 5 stars I would. She was absolutely amazing at my wedding and it could not have been a better day because of her. She caught so many details that I would have never seen nor caught with the craziness of being the bride on the big day. She made me feel comfortable and excited to take more pictures. She was open to any of the crazy ideas I had and handled everything with ease! I absolutely could not recommend more!

The rawness of emotion & human connection is what drew me into wedding and portrait photography. I am a storyteller and celebrater for the lighthearted and crazy in love. I focus on capturing authentic photographs that stand the test of time. My goal is to provide couples with one heck of an experience and images that can be cherished for a generations. One of my favorite facts about my style is that I created my own preset from scratch, and that each photo receives the dedicated time it takes to ensure that its final version is its best. The result is beautiful, sentimental photos that preserve meaningful and true-to-life moments.

Annie was absolutely amazing. I’ve never had professional pictures taken and am nervous in front of the camera. I was always worried about how my wedding pictures would turn out or if I could even afford them. Annie made both my husband and I very comfortable in front of the camera and even got us laughing. The pictures were so fun to take and I absolutely LOVE how they came out. Not only that but they didn’t cost me half of my wedding. Annie is very reasonably priced and her photos are exquisite. She helped me stay on track with which photos to take and did amazing with the candids. She also gave us our pictures in a very timely manner and I can tell she spent a lot of time and effort into the shots. We 100% recommend Annie to any and everyone, all the time, 10/10.

Classic meets contemporary and vibrant. Although I do all types of shoots, I specialize in wedding photography and all the beauty it has to offer. I prioritize in capturing the essential moments of your wedding to give you cherished memories to look back on for a lifetime.

When we had an unexpected change to our plans for our wedding just a couple weeks before our big day, I found Michaela and she was a saving grace! She was very professional, took in a few of the things that I really wanted to capture and took them to a new level, and ultimately photographed our wedding better than I could have imagined. She was extremely reasonable in price. I am definitely booking her again when we get pictures done.

I am a fine art photographer living in the United States. I am currently based in Florida and have a studio in Tampa, FL. I was born in Cuba but moved to Orlando with my large family in '97. I started my photography in 2015 but have been involved with being on both sides of the lens and learning photography since 2011. Photography remains my #1 passion and I am looking forward to all adventures that come with it. Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions

The team of photographers at Stella Studios is amazing to work with. First of all, they're quality of work as well as the quality of individuals you'll have is off the charts. Also, they have bilingual staff in Spanish if you're looking for great communication on both languages. Definitely recommend them.

Hey, I'm Larissa! (The tiny chick behind the camera probably bossing you around)I am a wedding, portrait and fine art photographer currently based in North-Eastern, Pennsylvania but I love to travel near and far. I enjoy spending time with my friends and family. I am a huge believer that laughter is a cure-all. My little Shih-Tzu, Hope, is an extension of myself and one of my favorite cuddle buddies. I am an adventurer at heart with an incurable case of wanderlust. Car rides at sunset, rainy Sundays, curling up with a book, lattes and heart-to-hearts, and soul soothing music. I'm here for it.

Awarded Best of Zola
Larissa absolutely captured our engagement shoot and our big day perfectly. The stress of the day didn’t get to us because of how much fun we had with her and her out of the box thinking. Truly would recommend to anyone who asked me for a photographer recommendation
