Reviews of Maria Villano Photography
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
Maria was a punctual, professional and a calming presence at our elopement. Most importantly though, she captured our wedding with immersive photographs that provided a window into that moment for our own memories as well as for the multitude of friends and family who were not present.

Couldn't imagine our wedding day without Maria
Maria was absolutely amazing and I couldn't imagine our wedding day without her. Due to COVID-19, we downsized our wedding and had to find a photographer on short notice. Maria was extremely easy to work and quickly helped us put together a plan for the day.
On our wedding day, she knew exactly what to do, and helped put both us, our families, and our guests at ease—and we all had so much fun with her! And the pictures are amazing!

Maria is amazing! Laid back, easy to work with, but incredibly organized and talented
Maria was an excellent photographer and so easy to work with. We booked well in advance and got a free engagement session out of it--we weren't planning on engagement photos but are so glad we got them. not only did we get some lovely photos, but we got an opportunity to work with Maria which was helpful for the day of. Maria is so incredibly organized, i loved that everything was done online. she sent us a questionnaire in advance of the wedding day asking about all of our families names, relationships etc that made everything go smoothly. we were worried about the amount of family portraits putting a drag on the day, but she bossed everyone around (in her chill, friendly manner) and got those done in a flash! Her photos are absolutely beautiful, and she captured little details and put everyone at ease. She even helped with keeping our schedule between the getting ready-first look-ceremony, which took place at three different locations. She has great energy and is low key! I 100% recommend her, especially if you're not totally sure how you feel about having a photographer follow you around on one of the most emotional, busy, amazing, stressful days of your life. I uploaded photos she took of our engagement session, because i don't have the wedding photos yet--it's only been two weeks since the wedding. I have seen a preview though and they are GORGEOUS!
