Style and Approach Hello there!
I’m Maura (pronounced “Mara”…..it’s a long story involving a Pittsburgh accent and a lot of confusion): indigenous Cheesehead, Irish transplant and Chicago based wedding and lifestyle photographer.
More than anything else, I believe that everything about your wedding experience should feel absolutely amazing and every one of your incredible photos from the day should bring it aaaalll back!
You should focus on having an absolute blast celebrating with those you love most and leave the rest to me! I’ll be sure to capture those fleeting hugs, the laugh-until-you-cry moments, all of your carefully chosen details and the odd stray happy-tear all while helping you and your fiancé stay in the moment and enjoy the living heck out of your wedding day!.
Honestly, my greatest high comes from making people happy (hello middle-child-syndrome ;-)! The fact that I get to do this on what are the most important days of your lives is incredible. And to do it while creating art in real time through the documenting of your most powerful moments?! It’s a dream come true and no amount of pinching myself will make me fully believe that I get to do this for dozens of people each year.
The result of all these shenanigans?!
