Her work alone truly speaks for itself but the true value here is the way she shows up for each of her couples.

ELOPEMENTS
When I tell you that I love an adventure, believe it. Wherever you want to go whether it's downtown Chicago or to Italy, I'll see you there! The feels of just the two of you (or maybe a few more of your favorite people) escaping away celebrating your love story is priceless. Eloping is so perfectly intimate and being able to capture those moments for you would be an honor.
ELOPEMENT COLLECTIONS BEGIN AT $2,000 + travel fees
You know the people you instantly feel at home with? You have an immediate connection and soon they feel like someone you’ve know forever, that’s Mayah.

KIND WORDS
“she brought our vision to life in a way that exceeded our expectations."
Mayah is warm, friendly, and professional. On our wedding day, she took the lead to ensure we captured all the key moments without the day feeling like just a photoshoot. Mayah's hard work, dreamy and moody editing style, and attention to detail resulted in photos that are simply perfect.
— stephanie + austin
"you can really feel the love that she captures in her work."
Not only is her work incredible, but the attention to detail and the personal relationship she fosters with her clients is unmatched.
— carly + alec
“It truly felt like having a friend behind the camera, which allowed us to relax and really be our authentic selves..”
Mayah not only captured beautiful moments but actively contributed to ensure the day was going smoothly. Her communication and direction was so on point and our whole wedding party was in such admiration of her!

Can we order prints of your images or does that cost extra?
You can easily order prints through your online gallery! If you're looking to order an album, this is also something that I can assist with. Prints + Albums are an additional add-on/cost. You will have a print release, so you can print anywhere else as well!
Does the photographer retain the copyright to the images? Does that mean we can’t share them?
Yes, the photographer retains the copyright to the images. This means that I am the sole-owner of the images and am the only person who can edit/modify any changes to them. You are more than welcome to share and post the edited images on social media provided to you once the gallery is complete.
How do we pick photo locations?
If you aren't sure of where you'd like to take your photos, I can be of assistance! You'll complete a questionnaire which will then help me understand the vibe you're going for. I will then send over a few locations from you to choose from.
How do you deliver photos?
Your galleries will be sent via an online digital gallery. With the digital gallery, you're able to download high resolution images as well share the gallery with your friends and family.
Do you give unedited versions of the photos or the RAWs?
No. They do not reflect or represent my work so they will not be provided under any circumstances.
Can we share our images to social media?
Of course!! Share away!! I would love to see your posts, so don't forget to tag me. :)
