Bold & Romantic

My signature editing style is bold, romantic, and true to life. With consistent luxurious tones. A little bit of grain, and a whole lot of detail. All galleries include a mix of color + black & white images.

nostalgia lover.

My approach is documentary-style.

I absolutely guide you through portraits and important moments, but I allow many moments to happen naturally, capturing your wedding day in an honest way. Prioritizing authenticity over a perfectly curated image.

This means that your moments are captured the way that they are actually happening, and steering away from "creating" moments or faking things - while still offering guidance and direction as needed.

carefree and romantic.

We would be a great fit for each other if the following describes your wedding day:

  • You want to be intentional with your time, feeling fully present, without feeling rushed.

  • You want your portraits to be a reflection of your true personalities as a couple - through natural and comfortable posing.

  • You want to go with the flow of the day + and lean into authenticity.

  • You love the idea of photos of the in between/fleeting moments - like the way the sky looked on your wedding day, your spouses hand on your lower back in a moment of affection, or your guests watching you from afar.

  • You love artful images + want an editorial touch to your photos.

I had the most incredible experience with Marybeth. It felt so natural having her shoot us even though our wedding was so unconventional and involved traveling all over New York City. She made us feel so comfortable and hyped up and we ended up just having the best day. For how easy breezy she is and how relaxed it felt her pictures came out so incredibly elevated and beautiful. I feel like they could be in a magazine. I'm so grateful to her for making my wedding day one of the best days ever.

client love

We could not be happier with our wedding photos. From the ceremony to the reception, across multiple locations everything was captured beautifully and effortlessly. It was an extremely hot NYC summer day, and despite the heat and logistics, they were calm, professional, and on top of everything. They did an incredible job capturing not just the big moments, but the in-between, emotional, candid ones that truly bring the day back to life. The photos feel natural, timeless, and full of energy. We are so grateful to have these memories documented so perfectly and would recommend them without hesitation.

My fiancé and I took a big chance having an outdoor ceremony at the Montauk Lighthouse in April. We ended up with 50mph winds (legit not an overreaction). Marybeth was an absolute superstar — she stuck with us through every hiccup and somehow made the wind look like a special effect in our photos. Each photo of us and our small group is perfect — fun, vibrant, and filled with so much love. Marybeth almost got blown away a few times but never missed a beat!! Thank you for being the best, and for capturing the best day ever
