Pricing Guide

Hey you two! If you're here, you're probably trying to figure out what matters most for your wedding day—and I get it, it's a lot. Here's what I believe: your wedding is a story, not a checklist. I take time to know you, notice the quiet moments, and photograph what's real—so your images feel artful, emotional, and deeply yours.

Let's meet

Meet Marce

When I married Dan in 2024, I was hesitant about a lot of wedding traditions. I thought I'd skip the getting-ready part, keep things minimal. But those morning hours with my mom and friends? They ended up being some of the most meaningful moments of my life. I'm so grateful I had a photographer there to capture them—because now I can relive what I didn't even know would matter so much.

I spent years photographing landscapes—chasing sunsets, standing on mountain summits so moved I couldn't tell if I was laughing or crying. I bring that same ability of recognizing sacred moments in the ordinary to your wedding day.

I notice the in-between moments—the pauses, the glances, the quiet things you might not realize are precious until later.

With me, you'll get photos that feel like you're living your wedding day all over again. Every happy tear, every glance, exactly as it happened.

Oh—and I'm Mexican, which means dancing, hugging often, and crying happy tears are pretty much in my DNA.

"What stood out most was the calm energy she brought to every moment. On a day that could have easily felt hectic or overwhelming, Marcela made it feel effortless. She has this rare ability to both blend into the background and gently guide the vibe, which helped me stay grounded, present, and fully able to take in what was happening."

Common Questions

If anything else comes to mind, I’ve got you—feel free to bring it to our call and we’ll go through it together.

How long will it take to get our photos back?

You'll have a sneak peek of your favorites within 48 hours. The full gallery arrives in four to six weeks, edited and organized so you can relive everything without the overwhelm.

I don’t like being photographed… how do you pose people?

I 100% get that — cameras can feel intimidating. This is where we really connect. Rather than posing you, I use gentle prompts and simple actions that help things flow naturally. Most couples end up forgetting there’s even a camera there. The goal is for this to feel like a fun date, not a photoshoot.

How do we know how much coverage time we need?

You don’t have to figure that out on your own. Once I learn more about your day — the timeline, your priorities, and what moments matter most — I’ll help you choose what makes sense. Think of it as building coverage around your day, not fitting your day into a package.

Do you also offer videography?

I focus exclusively on photography, but I have an amazing network of videographer friends and content creators I trust and love working with. If video is important to you, I’ll help you find a great fit.

Can we divide the hours between our rehearsal dinner and the wedding day?

Yes — that’s actually the main intention behind my 12-hour package. Coverage can be split across events depending on your priorities and the flow of the weekend. We’ll talk through what makes the most sense so nothing important feels rushed or missed.
