Your pictures were absolutely beautiful. Everyone commented that you were so unobtrusive with your way of getting such wonderfully beautiful results.

My wedding was absolutely the happiest day of my life: there were so many magical moments that I wanted to relive. Claire and Andy perfectly captured the joy of the day! They seemed to be everywhere I wanted. Every moment that was important to me (and so many others!) made it in the gorgeous photos and the sweet video. We loved the combination of still shots and the video because the memories are so complete.
Claire is absolutely delightful to work with. She helped me to think through what I wanted ahead of time and she was there every step of the way. She was never in the way of the spontaneous, but she still knew how to command a crowd (what a great combo!). She’s incredibly professional and so is the quality of her work, but she’s also personable and encouraging–just what a bride need.
We could not be more thrilled or grateful for the beautiful way she captured our special day!

Choosing Marika Photography was one of the best decisions I made while planning my wedding. You were extremely accommodating; helping me find unique locations for my bridals and engagements and making sure I got the types of pictures I wanted. The end results were beautiful, professional, and beyond my expectations. Your photos perfectly captured the personality and joy of my wedding day, and I will treasure them for the rest of my life.

I’m speechless! These photos are fantastic! We’ve been looking at them all night and just can’t decide which ones we like the best. It’ll be hard to choose which ones to print. I love them all! Thanks again for this wonderful experience.

Wow. We are seriously BLOWN AWAY by our bridal video. I fell in love with how in love Matthew and I look in this video. The song is absolutely perfect. We love it! It was all your awesome work that makes us look so great. Really, it gave me the chills and I almost started crying. It will definitely be a video that we’ll go back and watch again and again for years. Thank you so much from the both of us!

I couldn’t possibly recommend working with Claire more. She is extremely patient and easy to work with. Before our engagement session, Claire was very responsive and worked with me to choose a location to fit the aesthetic we were looking for. Claire has beautiful personal taste, too, so even when I handed over control to her, I knew I could trust her to get the classically beautiful images we were looking for. During our shoot, she gave us lots of direction and helped us feel comfortable and relaxed. The pictures turned out beautifully, too! We had almost 200 images to choose from, and everyone remarked at how incredible all of them were. After seeing how amazing our engagements pictures were, I can’t wait to see what Claire will capture at the wedding!

Claire and Andy were so wonderful to work with! They were fun and friendly and did a wonderful job making us all feel comfortable. They were also really flexible and accommodated a hectic schedule and my large family—all while staying totally calm! Claire came to our wedding venues the day before to take pictures of my fiancé and me and of our families so that our wedding day wouldn’t be so busy. She had great ideas for poses and locations. Claire’s photography and Andy’s videograhpy were fantastic. I love how their work has such great personality, lighting, and color. They really captured the mood and theme we wanted. I was especially grateful for their skill shown in the candid photos at our wedding breakfast and reception. I’m so glad we chose Marika photography for our wedding. I recommended her for my sister’s wedding as well, and she and Andy did another superb job.”
