My entire life, I have always been an artist and super creative. I have been shooting for a little over 9 years now. WOW it feels so weird saying that. I am so honored to get to do what I do everyday and I seriously wouldn't have it any other way. I started off with a little point and shoot camera where I took photos of my friends to make them feel beautiful and then continued to grow and grow to where I am today. I am naturally energetic and will be your #1 hype woman throughout the entire day.

Sami was the most amazing photographer. She was so fun and easy to work with. Her photos were GORGEOUS. I had the most amazing experience working with her and her team. I would recommend her 10/10.

Steph was everything I could have wanted and more. She was with me from 10 in the morning until 10 at night, and she captured every moment! Anytime I would think to grab her for a photo she would just APPEAR. She was amazing at capturing all the small moments that go missed. She caught the joy and excitement from our family and friends. She was extremely courteous, positive, and offered great suggestions for photos as well. She was wonderful to work with and was very quick to respond back with any questions. This woman ran up and down a flight of stairs, quietly, during my ceremony to catch every different angle. She is committed to getting that perfect shot and she delivers. She's AMAZING!

Kim worked with us for our wedding at Phipps Conservatory. From the start of our inquiry with her she was professional, responded quickly, and answered all our questions. Up until our wedding day, we had to make multiple changes to the schedule of the day to meet logistics, and she was flexible about it, which was so appreciated. On our wedding day she was extremely professional, kind, worked with our family well, and had a real eye for when and where to take photos. I am very introverted and the wedding day itself was overwhelming to me in ways, but her presence as our photographer was wonderful and calming. I couldn’t recommend her enough!

Maya Lovro Photography

My name is Maya (they/them), and I'm a queer, love-obsessed photographer operating out of Pennsylvania and traveling all over. I specialize in weddings and elopements, especially non-traditional, LGBTQ+, and multicultural celebrations. I am the 'picnic elopement in the woods' or 'weekend campsite celebration' or 'screw it, let's get married at a Waffle House' photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
Maya is one of the most wonderful, genuine, and detailed photographers I've ever met, and I've worked with a lot of photographers in my line of work! My partner and I chose Maya first for our engagement photos because of their dynamic, warm style, and ended up enjoying working with them so much that we decided to book them for our wedding! My partner is quite shy and doesn't enjoy his photo being taken, but Maya made him feel so comfortable and confident. We are an LGBTQ couple, and Maya made us feel so valid and loved expressing who we are. Maya was so communicative throughout the whole wedding planning process, and constantly provided us with resources to help us with our general planning. Maya and their co-photographer took so much care and detail on the day of the wedding to get every small detail to every huge moment. Everything worked like literal clockwork, everything felt super chill and fun, and even shooting large family photos (with way too many cousins) ended up being a breeze! Maya truly cares about their work, especially their clients. We could not recommend Maya enough!!!

The quiet glances, the bursts of laughter, the tears of joy—each frame is a memory, preserved forever. — Caz Isaiah

After our first photographer fell through, we found Caz and luckily he happened to be available on our wedding date. From the very first contact, he was incredibly responsive (super important to us), friendly and professional. His work looked great so we were excited - then we found out he was featured in Vogue! We were stoked. He was amazing to work with on the wedding day - punctual, friendly, got all the requested shots, and the whole bridal party loved him. We got our pictures back today - and they’re so much better than we could have dreamed of. It’s no wonder he was featured in Vogue - his work is artistic, candid, and beautiful. Thank you Caz for giving us such beautiful memories so we can relive the best day of our lives.
