THE investment OF A lifetime
THESE ARE once in a lifetime moments FOR YOU TO cherish forever
In the realm of wedding photography, I embark on a journey to encapsulate those once-in-a-lifetime moments, weaving them into a visual narrative for you to cherish eternally. Every stolen glance, heartfelt exchange, and joyous celebration becomes a piece of a timeless mosaic, carefully composed to tell the story of your unique love. Our lens doesn't merely document; it transforms your extraordinary day into a collection of memories that transcend the fleeting hours. With an artful blend of skill and passion, I strive to freeze those precious instances, ensuring they remain vivid and evocative, allowing you to revisit the magic of your wedding day whenever your heart desires.
My wedding photography seamlessly blends the artistry of editorial flair with the precision of a directive approach. Through an editorial lens, I unfold the poetic beauty of your day, focusing on spontaneous and emotive captures that tell the unique story of your love. These images transcend the traditional, adding an artistic touch to every frame. Simultaneously, my directive approach ensures that every planned detail is flawlessly captured, creating a harmonious balance between the structured and the spontaneous. My goal is not just to document, but to curate a collection that encapsulates the essence of your wedding, providing you with memories to cherish forever – a visual tapestry woven with both creativity and precision.

PHILADELPHIA,, NEW JERSEY, NEPA cinematic wedding photographer
Philadelphia & New Jersey CINEMATIC + MOODY wedding photographer
IT’S MORE THAN just a job for me
As a wedding photographer, I specialize in creating cinematic photography that transforms the moments of your special day into a timeless visual narrative. My style is deeply rooted in paying attention to every detail, from the delicate lace of the bride's gown to the intricate designs of the wedding decor. I believe that the beauty of a wedding lies in both the grand gestures and the subtle nuances, and I strive to capture it all with an artist’s eye, ensuring each photograph is a piece of art that tells a part of your love story.
I am dedicated to capturing the candid, in-between moments that often go unnoticed but hold the most genuine emotions. Whether it’s a shared glance, a spontaneous laugh, or a tearful embrace, these are the moments that truly define the day and reflect the authentic connections between you and your loved ones. My presence is both unobtrusive and supportive, allowing the day to unfold naturally while stepping in with gentle direction when needed to ensure every shot is perfect.
Beyond just being your photographer, I become the bride’s go-to girl, a new best friend, and a trusted confidant. From calming pre-ceremony jitters to adjusting veils and ensuring everything runs smoothly, I am there for you every step of the way. My goal is not only to capture beautiful images but to enhance your wedding experience by providing support and joy throughout the celebration. Together, we’ll create a collection of photographs that are as personal and meaningful as the love you share.
“Some of the biggest things that I can not stress enough, are Mae’s professionalism, organization, and talent. They are top notch and second to none. She helped us create our entire timeline for our wedding day, and went above and beyond to help us stick to it. She also came to the rescue many times, and was always there asking if I needed anything, and keep the stress down by keeping us on schedule when its so easy to lose track of time. We felt completely confident in her, and she did not stop hustling the entire day. There was no doubt in our minds that she was doing an incredible job, and she delivered beyond any expectation.”
