    Excellent! Made our Engagement Super Special

    Marta was great. She helped capture our engagement and was discreet enough that my fiancee had no idea but close enough to capture incredible photos. The photoshoot after was great and the pictures came out amazing. Marta was even great in helping to plan parts of the engagement and was perfect partner for surprising my fiancee. She was absolutely fantastic to work with.

    Marta is the BEST!

    Marta was an absolute dream to work with! We had met Marta at a friend’s wedding the year before and after seeing how she worked and how amazing their photos came out, we knew we had to book her for our wedding. She made us feel so comfortable during the shoots and really took to heart all of the things we told her we wanted out of our wedding and engagement pictures. Marta is an exceptionally talented photographer and editor, she truly captured our wedding in such a way that felt so much like “us”. We were so elated to get our photos back and see all of the amazing moments she captured in time for us. She took the time to have multiple pre-wedding chats with us and also worked in perfect sync with our videographer and other vendors. Marta is an incredibly wonderful person and we are so lucky to have had her be a part of our special day. We can’t recommend Marta enough for all of your photography needs!

    Marta is THE best

    Marta went the extra mile to make our wedding day special. When we wanted to arrange a first look at Brooklyn Bridge park, she bought us me a blindfold so I could share a car with my wife without me seeing her before we got there. Marta's friendliness made a good impression on all of our guests, including the whole family during family photos, and her photos are amazing. We can't recommend her enough.

    The Absolute Best Experience with Marta!

    The best decision we made for our wedding was to book Marta as our photographer! We were so thankful to have found someone who made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process and who is an awesome photographer, as well! She shot both our engagement photoshoot and wedding; both times the photos were delivered quickly and with more photos than we could have ever asked for. On more than one occasion during the wedding, a moment happened and we thought to ourselves that we hoped it was captured and sure enough Marta was always right there to capture it. She never missed a moment. When there were some issues with the venue and their timeline, Marta was super flexible and accommodating, even staying a bit longer than the scheduled time to capture every shot! All of our guests loved her, so much so that my best man is using her for his wedding in 2022. With the multiple photoshoots and the pre-wedding video calls, we really feel like we got to know Marta and she is really a wonderful person. You would be lucky to have her as your photographer for any occasion. The highest recommendation!

    LOVE LOVE LOVE... You won’t regret it

    My fiancé booked her for our proposal in Central Park, NY. She was so easy going, responsive, professional, and reasonably priced. Our officially proposal date got rained out, so we had to change it. She did it without hesitation, which really reflected her kindness. We weren’t familiar with the area since we are from Alabama and she suggested the spot for my fiancé to propose. She came out as surprise and did a great job hiding herself so I wouldn’t spot her. After the proposal, she suggested doing more couple pictures. We aren’t great at pictures and always feel awkward. But Marta made us feel so comfortable. She came with her own ideas, which made the whole experience fun and easy. My proposal pictures are one my favorite pictures. She did such an amazing job! If you’re looking for a photographer, don’t hesitate to pick Marta. You won’t regret it!

    Marta Zapardiel Photography's reply:

    Wow! Thanks for the amazing review you guys!! It was an absolute joy to photograph you Priya and Vivek and I’m very glad I met you. I’m here if you need me. Best wishes!

    A great photographer, an amazing person

    I've known Marta for a few years now and I enjoy her work so much that when it was time for me to choose a photographer for my wedding I didn't even hesitated: she was my first and only choice. Luckily for us she could make it and we're very grateful because now we have an amazing photo collection of our wedding day.

    She's a top photographer but most importantly, she's an amazing person that guided us throughout all the wedding craziness and answered all our questions. Marta is not only our wedding photographer: she's now a friend. Forever grateful!

    The sweetest and so talented!

    Marta is so sweet and talented! We changed our elopement date last minute and lucked out with finding Marta. She was incredibly flexible, patient, and kind -- which was especially appreciated when eloping in a pandemic! Marta made us feel relaxed and was go with the flow while providing great direction and suggestions. She got in all of the shots we requested (including working with a horse) and we were thrilled to see the memories she captured when the finals came through. Definitely would recommend.

    Marta Zapardiel Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much guys! You two were so amazing and kind! I really appreciate this review. I wish you the absolute best!

    The best way to capture your happiness

    Marta did an exceptional job as our wedding photographer. She was a delight to work with and her work product is absolutely superlative. She is sensitive to your needs as a couple and is great at giving direction--was really able to make me and my wife come across every bit as happy and joyful as we were on our wedding day. Her pricing was transparent and ultimately she captured the spirit of a magical moment for us all!

    Choose Marta and you will choose wisely.

    Sweet & Professional

    Marta was so sweet and professional from the start. She understands and appreciates diverse culture traditions of weddings and you can truly sense how much she loves weddings. She was super response throughout the whole process and was open to us following a list for the family photos. What she excels at is candid shots, which was the style that my husband and I prefer too. Her professionalism and calm composure during the wedding day was a godsend. We had family members jumping around trying to take photos with their phones, and Marta always gave them room to do so first. Such a joy working with her.

    An experience I will forever be grateful for!

    Marta was amazing to work with. When my husband and I first met with her I knew she was the photographer that would make our day even more special. She was personable, funny, caring, and so easy to work with. She listened to everything that I wanted and made the experience comfortable and fun. Our wedding day was so much easier with her there and all of my pictures went so smooth. I already recommended her to a friend who used her as well for her wedding and they loved her! I can't say enough good things about her and her work!

    Beyond Amazing and went way above and beyond

    We cannot thank Marta enough for her professionalism and expertise. All the photos came out amazing and she took literally thousands of them. Very fast turnaround and very reasonable priced. We are so lucky to have found her. We hired her for our engagement photoshoot and subsequently for our big wedding!

    Marta Zapardiel Photography's reply:

    I'm so happy that I got to photograph you two in both occasions! You are so kind and amazing I couldn't be more grateful! It was a tremendous pleasure.

    Perfect for natural and fun candid photography!

    Marta was lovely and such a great presence at our city hall wedding. She listened to what we wanted and really excels in capturing candid moments, which is exactly what I was hoping for! She was unobtrusive and subtle in capturing the day, so I was never stressed about posing or too self-aware.

    Marta's the best!

    Marta was a dream to work with. She does such incredible work, and makes your feel comfortable while doing so! It's no surprise that unless you're a model, or taking far too many pictures of yourself, the whole experience could be awkward - not with Marta! She talks to you the whole time, plays music, and makes you feel at ease! Because of this incredible environment she creates, she able to actually capture your emotions through her pictures. When you see a picture of someone laughing, it's almost as if you can hear them laughing. I loved working with Marta and would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!!

    Marta Zapardiel Photography's reply:

    You two are absolutely incredible! I'm so grateful to have been part of your day. THANK YOU! I wish you all the best!

    Marta was absolutely amazing for our engagement day! She captured the moment perfectly, and had it not been for her, we would not have these incredibly special moments to look back on. Marta was tucked away inconspicuously during the proposal and then so enthusiastically, stood by to capture pictures of us thereafter. We could not have asked for anyone more fitting for this day and we highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to capture the moment of their proposal.

    Authentic, down to earth, & talented!

    From the moment we met Marta, me and my fiancé (now husband) KNEW she was the person to photograph our wedding. She immediately put as both at ease and had us laughing. We had an untraditional NYC rooftop wedding and she captured the day and our relationship perfectly. She got along with our family and friends and EVERYONE was chatting about how cool she was. She even stayed later than her contract required because she wanted to get a few extra shots of us dancing the night away. And the pictures... well, they can speak for themselves!

    From the moment I reached out to Marta for our engagement photos I knew she was the right choice. Her professionalism and responsiveness stood out immediately and the sample photos Marta sent over really spoke for themselves. Marta really went above and beyond for us. She truly made our engagement so special and the photos came out absolutely amazing! Her engaging personality made it such a fun experience to work with and we can not wait to hopefully work with her again in the near future.

    Marta was amazing to work with! I'm not particularly comfortable in front of a camera, but Marta and her second shooter Carla were very comfortable to work with. We were looking for mostly candid photos with some posed family shots and we got exactly that plus more. They braved the cold with us and was amazing with their insights for how the day should flow with their experience. At one point I had a mini breakdown from stress, but Marta was right there with me calming me down. We received the fully edited photos within a month and the quality was great. I would highly recommend Marta and will be doing so with everyone I know who is getting married soon!

    We took Marta to Stone Barn Upstate to get some portraits of my wife and I done around the end of October. Perfect location to see New York's foliage. Once there Marta took charge since we really didn't know what to do. We walked and talked getting to know each other better and with that she snapped some genuine reactions to some of our great stories. It was a blast working with her and hope to use more of her services in the future. Pricing was reasonable and within our budget.

    So glad we found her!

    Our experience when we first got in touch with Marta was Easy . We found Marta on Instagram via an elopement page. Her response was fast and detailed. We set up a virtual consultation within hours.
    What made us choose Marta as our photographer was that during our zoom meeting we felt like she could be our friend. She seemed genuine and reliable . And very focused on making our vision come to life. She was also very funny!!!

    The planning process and communication leading up to our session was super easy. Marta asked many questions like " what do you do? , How did you meet? To really get a sense of who we were. The best thing was she made us feel like we could be 100% honest with her. Which made us feel like she would honor any request we had , and she did. She was available via email and text message for questions leading up to the event.
    There were two things that pleasantly surprised us . Number one : Marta had a fanny pack that was like a survival kit! I needed a tissue she had tissue, my husband need an Advil she had Advil, we needed hand sanitizer she had hand sanitizer! She also showed up before our session and took photos of the scenery . She was there before us and prepared!

    We loved every moment Marta captured!!!

    I've never been photographed by a professional before our session with Marta. She was wonderful!! She made us feel super at ease. It was freezing the day of our shoot, but you could never tell. She was a true professional. Took the time to coach us out of our discomfort.
