    Amazing Experience

    My husband and I got engaged back in August of 2021, and knew that we wanted to get married in South Florida. We were referred to Maria Glassford and after our first call I knew that she was the only photographer for me! Maria came with ideas, suggestions, and an organization that made planning our first look, family photos, and timeline a breeze. Maria captured the most STUNNING photos - I have never felt more photogenic in my life. I HIGHLY recommend her for wedding photography needs. Thanks for sharing your magic with us, Maria!!

    Absolutely amazing!

    Maria and her team are the total package. I had to postpone my wedding and my original photographer wasn’t available. I can’t help but think fate brought me to Maria. I am forever thankful for that! From the initial phone call with Maria I knew it was meant to be. She is so warm and personable not to mention absolutely AMAZING at what she does. Our wedding day was perfect and so lucky to have had Maria capture everything. The pictures are ones we will absolutely treasure forever. Hire her you won’t be disappointed ❤️

    Incredible photographer and person & great value!

    Maria was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. The beautiful moments she captured throughout the day are so special to us, and we are so happy with our decision to use her. Maria and Dana were extremely professional and personable. They put us all at ease during moments of chaos, and they had amazing energy the entire day. Maria went above and beyond, wading in our swimming pool to get the perfect photo, and even buckling my shoes on the beach. We did not do a first look for our wedding, and she was able to capture incredible photos of me and my husband post ceremony in MINUTES (literally 15 minutes) so we were able to make it to our cocktail hour and be with our friends and family. She is incredibly talented with a warm, comforting spirit. I would highly recommend her to anyone getting married in the Florida area!

    Maria is the best!

    Maria was a pleasure to work with!! I knew when we first connected she was the real deal. She is kind, professional, and so talented! Maria and Dana were so fun to take pictures with on the day of our wedding and even helped out with things that weren't necessarily their job when it came to wedding coordination. They went above and beyond and my whole family had nothing but great things to say! My mouth dropped when we got our sneak peek pictures back. They are absolutely stunning and she did a great job capturing special moments. We highly recommend booking Maria for any special event!

    Timeless perfection

    Maria went above and beyond on our wedding day. Maria’s work speaks for itself. Her photos are truly timeless and absolutely breathtaking. She was extremely professional from our first inquiry up to the moment I received my sneak peaks (only 2 days after my wedding!) As someone who has always struggled with self confidence. I was admittedly worried to received my wedding photos. Maria made me feel so beautiful and I love my photos so much.

    Not only are my photos more than I could ever have imagined she also went above and beyond the entire day. She retrieved love letters from my fiancé before I walked down the aisle, she helped calm me down, and she was so helpful in capturing some great shots. You will not regret hiring Maria for your big day!!

    Best Day Ever

    Maria made my "COVID-wedding" the most memorable day of my entire life. We had to reschedule the date twice and the venue four times, and she was so incredibly flexible and supportive through it all. She made me feel like a princess during my engagement shoot, bridal shower party, and wedding day. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer for my most important day! Oh, and she sent the sneak peak photos the NEXT DAY after our wedding! We will be using her for all future family photos! I wish I could give her a higher rating than 5 stars!

    Best Photographer in Naples!!

    My husband and I could not have been happier with our choice in hiring Maria to photograph our Naples wedding this past February!! Photography was at the top of our list in priority in regards to choosing our vendors. After hours and hours of research, and after speaking with Maria, we KNEW she was the perfect fit and exactly what we were looking for. She’s the type of person you feel like you’ve known your whole life even after just meeting, which made us feel so comfortable instantly. She’s fun, kind, helpful, encouraging and has a warm and friendly personality- truly everyone in our bridal party and family raved about her. To top it off, our photos are the most breathtaking photos I’ve ever seen. She didn’t miss a moment, her love for the details was noticed and the joy and love radiant with each and every picture. If you’re looking for a photographer who’s the real deal, stop looking and hire Maria. You seriously won’t regret it!!

    Maria Glassford Photography


    Maria is not only a fantastic photographer, but she is truly a fantastic person. Her professionalism, eye for a great moment, and work ethic is second to none. My wife and I loved working with her on our special day because she captures all of the beautiful moments that made our day unique. There are a lot of photographers out there but only a few with her talent.

    The best!

    Choosing our photographer was the most important part in our planning process. As someone who isn’t very comfortable in front of the camera, Maria instantly calmed these fears for not only myself but also my now husband (who really hates being in front of the camera). Maria was exceptional and so wonderful to work with (going above and beyond continuously!); she was extremely responsive to all my emails and texts, organized and yet so enjoyable and fun to be around! Most importantly, our photos are more beautiful than words. Absolute perfection and not a moment was a missed. We would hire her over and over again (and will!!). Can’t recommend enough!

    I flew Maria to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic to shoot my destination wedding. She was so professional from the very beginning. Maria communicated effectively and asked about my vision in our initial consultation. She was flexible and easy going with air fare and accommodations. Maria photographed our full wedding day from start to finish. She made sure to get everything that we discussed and then some! Maria Glassford went above and beyond in every capacity to create incredible images that I will cherish for a lifetime. She worked well with the videographer and other vendors that she had just met. I felt at ease knowing that Maria would take care of all of the photos. She was super quick to get my sneak peak to me! This was exciting because the memories were still fresh. I would recommend Maria Glassford Photography to anyone! Her style is so fresh, light, and airy. Perfect for framing large prints or canvases. I know they’ll look fabulous in our home and with our decor. If you want an incredible value, outstanding service, prompt communication, exceptional quality, and unbeatable personality... do not hesitate and book Maria Glassford before she’s reserved. You will not regret it! Check out my photos on her website for reference.

    Maria thrives in ALL settings!

    As a Wedding Specialist for a 4 Diamond Resort, I work with a plethora of photographers every year. Maria's professionalism, talent, and passion surpasses all the photographers I have worked with thus far. I've had the pleasure of working with Maria is various settings, and each experience has been outstanding. Maria was the photographer at both my elopement and at my wedding celebration, and she thrived in the intimate environment as well as the grand event. I have also worked along side her as she has worked with several of my brides, and they were all ecstatic to have her capture their most special day. Whether it's a styled shoot or a wedding day, Maria will be successful in ensuring each moment is captured beautifully!

    I cannot say enough good things about Maria- she exceeded our expectations in every avenue from the planning to our photos and album. Not only is she the type of person who you feel like you’ve been friends with forever but she’s also professional and so dang talented! Maria always went above and beyond- she was very responsive to all my emails and texts, was super helpful in planning to make sure our day flowed smoothly and most importantly was fun to work with. On my wedding day she was a calming presence when I needed her to be and helped organize and direct people when that was needed too. Her experience truly shows and it was very evident at all points of the day. Best of all, our photos and album are absolutely stunning and Maria. I can’t stop going through them and I couldn’t be more grateful for such a perfect experience from beginning to end!

    Maria is INCREDIBLE!!!! She was the photographer for one of my best friends wedding and I knew I had to have her once I was engaged. She was the first vendor I booked. Maria does an amazing job of making you feel comfortable in front of the camera and capturing the best side of everyone. She is a master of what she does and my husband was even impressed (he's not the easiest to please ;)). He was even comfortable in front of the camera! We could not be happier with Maria and how our engagement photos and wedding sneak peeks have come out. I cannot wait to see the rest! Thank you so much!! :)

    Amazing photographer and person!

    Maria is not only an amazing photographer but is she is one of the kindest people we’ve ever met! Her photos from our wedding took our breath away and she was so easy to work with! She made sure we got every shot we wanted on the wedding day and was so organized and detail oriented! She made my husband and I feel so comfortable and really captured our love! We wish we could give her more than 5 stars!

    We were married in October 2017 and we could not have asked for a better experience from beginning to end. Not only was she extremely helpful as our wedding approached- with items like our timeline and odd and end questions leading up- but she made the day of enjoyable, fun and her willingness to help at any given time didn't go unnoticed . Maria's love and passion for her job and her sweet and fun personality was exactly what we were looking for. Scroll forward 3 or 4 weeks and we received our beautiful package containing the most GORGEOUS photos we could have ever dreamed of (and I am NOT photogenic). We have around 1,000 photos and we couldn't be happier to have these as treasures to look back at forever. You won't go wrong in hiring Maria-- she's the complete package!

    Personable, professional and extremely talented! I HIGHLY recommend!! Our close friends referred us to Maria and she truly exceeded all of our expectations and then some! We have been in and also guests as weddings where the photographer was awkward or not very personable so having a photographer that's super talented and also personable was extremely important to us. I knew Maria would capture every moment of our day and getting to relive all the candid moments--many we wouldn't have remembered I'd didn't get to see--has been a gift we will cherish forever!!

    Maria shot our engagement session and our destination wedding last year. We were so nervous heading into our engagement session, never having done photos before, but she truly made our session super fun and relaxed. Our wedding day was no different- she was helpful when need be, yet unobtrusive, captured endless amounts of candid moments (what we really wanted!) and left us with memories to last a lifetime. Thank you Maria for your hard work--We are forever grateful!

    I'm in love with my photos. Maria was so nice, professional and all around lovely to work with. She was quick with the turnaround for our photos and they are absolutely breathtaking. I am so so so happy that I went with her. Very talented and captured everything I could have asked for for the wedding. Her assistant was also very kind and covered some different angles and different happenings ie: taking pics of the boys while Maria took pictures of the girls. If you can do an engagement shoot I highly recommend because then you can get comfortable posing and being in front of the camera and sort of know how to take direction from Maria. She really had an eye for spots and catching the light perfectly so in some of the pictures it really glowed. I can't praise her enough.

    Simply amazing! Maria had a personality that just put use at ease. She was the perfect blend of giving enough direction, but letting us enjoy the moment. Our bridal party enjoyed her and she was FUN! She helped us with our whole timeline, was flexible and so on top of it. She's very sweet and I felt so lucky to be planning my wedding from another state and to get to work with Maria. Would recommend her to anyone!

    Maria was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer! I researched tons of photographers in SWFL and I am so happy that I chose Maria Glassford Photography. We had so much fun at our engagement session getting to know her more and taking some great pictures in downtown Fort Myers! On our wedding day, Maria was prompt and so excited to capture our big day. Our photos came out even better than I imagined. You will not be disappointed with Maria and her gorgeous photography. Thank you Maria!

    My fiance (now husband) and I met with a few photographers before choosing Maria. After meeting with her my fiance said "Ok, that's it. I don't think we need to go meet with anyone else, do you?" Of course I made him come with me to meet with three to four other photographers. But, he was right, Maria was completely the right photographer for us and we clicked instantly. We had an engagement session with Maria and I completely recommend doing this. My fiance and I had never had professional pictures done before so this helped give us an idea of what to expect for our big day. We had these pictures taken at the Boca Grande Lighthouse and they turned out so amazing they were even published! I could see the excitement in Maria when I discussed details of our event with her, which made me excited too! She completely understood my vision for photography at my wedding, and every single image turned out absolutely amazing. The entire day was captured on more discs than Maria said she had ever used at a wedding! I was so excited to have created something that a photographer who sees tons of weddings was impressed by. Everyone who met Maria at our wedding couldn't stop commenting on how kind she was. And the images that we have forever will be the best keepsake for the wedding of my dreams. Maria helped bring my photography vision to life and I get to look at these photos everyday. I honestly can't think of anyone I would recommend more than Maria. I have already told my (now) husband that I am so glad he loves her and feels comfortable in front of her because I don't think that will be the last time she shoots us. I see, in our future, maybe a one year anniversary shoot, maternity pictures, newborn pictures, family pictures... oh my! I can't wait to have Maria capture every moment from here on out!
