i’m an east-coast wedding and lifestyle photographer, capturing real connection with intention and heart. my approach blends documentary storytelling with an editorial eye focusing on emotion, movement, and the in-between moments that matter most.
this is photography for people who value presence over perfection and want images that feel like memories, not performances.
From the first inquiry to the first kiss and the final gallery, i aim to create an experience that feels calm, fun, and genuinely supportive. i’ll guide you when needed, step back when it matters, and document your story as it naturally unfolds.
i’m maya — the gal behind the camera. my path into photography started in journalism, where i learned how to observe, anticipate, and tell stories as they unfold in real time. working in fast-paced, unpredictable environments taught me how to stay grounded under pressure, notice the details that matter, and capture moments honestly — no second takes, no recreations.
"Such a fun time doing our engagement shoot with Maya. The pictures came out absolutely stunning! Maya was able to perfectly capture what we wanted for the shoot."

It’s not about perfect it’s about presence.
