Maura Jane Photography

e worked with Maura and Sarah in preparation for the wedding and they both were the best. Sam and Marissa tagged along the day of and we had the best time. They calmed my nerves when I was getting overwhelmed, they truly just read every situation and handled them with ease. We were so blessed to have them! I can’t recommend them enough, trust me, they do not disappoint!

ial contact to receiving our final gallery. We were so grateful for their flexibility and client-first attitude and their communication prior to the wedding was wonderful and made the planning stress-free. The team sent a photo shoot form during the planning process that thoughtfully and delicately handled any potentially family and friend dynamics they should be aware of. This detail showed how dedicated they are to ensuring a smooth and comfortable experience for everyone involved in the portraits. On the day of the wedding, Sarah and Marissa were so professional and fun to work with. The energy they brought to the day put us and our entire wedding party at ease. They made the photo shoots truly fun and enjoyable, and you can see our happiness and ease reflected in the resulting pictures—nothing felt forced or stiff. We were also so happy with the comprehensive coverage; we received getting ready pics, couples portraits, detail photos of the venue and decor, family portraits, and shots of our happy guests.

rom that very first meeting we knew that Maura was the perfect fit to capture our engagement photos as well as our wedding day. Every interaction we had, the professionalism and creativity flowed so seamlessly. Communication is huge for me and Maura was excellent with her responses. We received our wedding gallery quickly after our wedding even during busy wedding season and were not disappointed. I’m still swooning over all of the pictures and getting to relive the best day of my life over and over. Maura and her team caught details from our wedding that we will get to cherish for a lifetime. The videos that the team’s content creator, Marissa, captured throughout our day also brought the perfect touch to our day. If you are looking for elegant and absolutely stunning photography, we cannot recommend Maura Jane Photography enough.

t-felt moments. They did a great job!! Highly recommend.

e runs her business truly takes the stress out of wedding planning. The packages are incredibly reasonable for the quality and value you receive. Our engagement session with Sarah in Albuquerque was amazing. She worked around our tight schedule and found the most scenic, breathtaking locations that perfectly captured our vision. Leading up to the wedding, Maura scheduled a detailed call to walk through our timeline and make sure every detail was covered—which made for a completely seamless wedding day. On the big day, Sarah and the team were absolute rockstars. They captured every shot beautifully and went above and beyond with incredible content creation, including stunning Instagram stories posted the very next day. Our photos turned out absolutely stunning—gorgeous posed shots paired with candid moments that truly reflect the joy of the day for us, our wedding party, and our guests. If you're looking for a talented, professional, and genuinely thoughtful photography team, Maura Jane Photography should be your top choice. We can’t wait to look back at these photos for years to come!

the camera. Her team also photographed our welcome dinner, and those photos are just as beautiful and meaningful as the ones from our wedding day. Our wedding took place in Santa Fe during a surprise spring snowstorm, and Maura and her team didn’t hesitate for a second when we made the last-minute decision to hold the ceremony outside. They embraced the moment with such grace, professionalism, and creativity—and the resulting photos are nothing short of magical. We are absolutely in love with every single image. Maura captured the emotion, joy, and unexpected beauty of our wedding so perfectly. These photos are something we’ll treasure forever. Thank you, Maura, for going above and beyond!

d everything I imagined for our wedding. From the start, working with her for our engagement photos was an absolute dream. Her team was kind, attentive, supportive, and incredibly knowledgeable. Our engagement photos turned out stunning, and that’s when I knew without a doubt—I had to book her for our destination wedding. I chose the destination wedding package with the content creator add-on, and I have zero regrets. Every single photo, every video clip—they were all breathtaking. Maura was not only an incredible vendor, but also such a warm, joyful presence to have around on our big day. She blended in like a guest, yet was always steps ahead with her experience and intuition. She helped everything flow so effortlessly, it was like she could read my mind. I’m truly in love with her work and beyond grateful for her team. They helped capture our memories in the most magical way. If you’re thinking about booking—do it. You won’t regret it.

on of fun to be around. Maura has an exceptional eye for detail, making every picture even better than what we could have ever imagined. She completely blew us away with her talent and creativity. We were lucky enough to have Maura capture both our engagement shoot and our wedding day. On both occasions, she made us feel completely at ease, allowing us to enjoy the moments while she worked her magic. The photos turned out stunning, beautifully reflecting the joy and love we felt. If you’re looking for a photographer who is passionate, talented, and just a blast to work with, go with Maura. She will exceed your expectations in every way. We couldn’t be happier with the memories she’s helped us preserve.

graphers! Your contribution to the wedding is something we will always look back on and know that we made the right choice! We appreciate that in the face of unexpected weather and an actual snowstorm you still produced such high quality work and had a good time with us! We also loved having Sarah capturing moments with us, she was a great addition to the day! We love you guys and our photos and we will continue to show them off whenever we can! Keep working your magic! -Asumpta and Jesse

only is she a professional and an expert at what she does, she is SO kind and thoughtful throughout the whole process with email and text check-ins, advice and even sneak peeks the very next day after my wedding. Sarah was the main photographer for the engagement shoot & wedding weekend and my husband and I truly loved working with her. Her photos are stunning and she captured our wedding so beautifully while making us feel so comfortable and natural. I highly recommend MJP and Sarah! They are best in class!

ery expectation i had and went above and beyond for us. Besides her obvious talent and beautiful photography, she is incredibly fun, helpful, and easy to work with. My wedding truly was a better experience because of her. Maura is a true professional and she is fantastic at what she does, i cant recommend her enough.

weddings, I knew I wanted to have MJP for my big day. I fell in love with the style of the photos-- very romantic, vibrant, and elegant. After finalizing our contract, we received a book in the mail from MJP going over what to expect on the day-- so thoughtful! My husband and I live out of state and MJP worked with us when our original plan for our engagement photos had to be postponed due to weather. Maura helped us find a time to reschedule to make sure we got these photos taken. Arielei made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and kept us on time to ensure we got all of the important shots. She was friendly, professional, and especially great with the kids. We couldn't be happier with our photos and will have a hard time deciding which ones we want printed! Photos were very important to us and MJP captured all of the special moments perfectly. I highly recommend Arielei and the MJP team for your engagement and wedding photos!!

we are to have worked with them! They are professionals at what they do and will make each moment feel special. Choose Maura Jane Photography, it will be the best decision you make!

roductory call, Maura asked thoughtful questions about us and priorities for our photos/event. We hoped for sunset photos with snowy mountains in the background. Her next question was timeline, which brought out her gentle spirit and command of all things related to photography. The original timeline didn’t work for the winter sunset. She immediately checked online for sunset times and presented a few alternate timelines with tradeoffs for each of them. Maura clearly understood our hopes and how to make that happen for us. There was no question, Maura was right for us. Our engagement photos were stunning. Knowing our love of the outdoors and hiking, Maura suggested a beautiful spot in a state park for sunset photos. We were nervous about the session because we typically hide from cameras, but we had a great time. Maura made us feel so comfortable. We spent nearly all of the session laughing and smiling. It felt like we were hanging out with an old friend. As a result, the photos really captured our personalities. We received so many text and social media messages about how spectacular the photos in the sneak peek were. One friend called to say Maura captured the “love and light” as well as the “joy” in our relationship. It set an incredibly high bar for measuring our wedding photos, which they exceeded. Our wedding photos are magical. They are wondrous and exceptional. Our friends and family have only seen Maura’s social media posts, but we’ve already received messages saying: “absolutely incredible”, “absolutely FABULOUS”, and “amongst the best wedding photos I have EVER seen”. They haven’t even seen some of the best. Maura went above and beyond to make this happen. She arrived early with her team the day of the wedding because the radar suggested rain and snow could interfere with the plan. Maura and the team kept an eye on the weather while calmly and positively suggesting we move up the schedule, if possible. They were on it. There were also unknowns with family photos because of some health issues. Maura was so supportive and sensitive to these issues on our wedding day. She was attuned to the needs of all who were being photographed, and visually checked-in with me to see if I agreed with her assessment on wrapping it up or taking more photos. Hannah and Alissia were equally thoughtful. Maura knew the wedding venue well, and already knew the spots where we could make sure to get photos that included the surrounding mountains and later the wonderful sunset. Again, she had asked us the right questions in advance about what we hoped for and made a plan based on our conversation. There are so many things that set Maura apart as a photographer and human. For me, a photo of me and my mom in our sneak peek portrays how exceptional Maura is as a person. She knew this would be special for me, and a gift to receive early. This was a truly personal and thoughtful gesture. We received photos that exceeded our hopes and dreams. Our experience working with Maura Jane Photography was full of joy and happiness. I highly recommend Maura and team for any of your photography needs – wedding or otherwise – anywhere in the world. They are phenomenal.

ything so fun, easy, and honestly goes so above and beyond. Her and her team are truly more than just photographers. Her turn around time with my pictures was SO fast and the photos came out spectacular. I cannot recommend Maura and her team enough!

ing guidance and recommendations which we really appreciated. Sarah took our engagement and wedding photos and and made us feel so comfortable - she felt like a good friend right away! I can’t get over how beautiful our photos came out. Thank you Maura and Sarah for capturing such an important day in our lives you ladies are truly the best!!

and calm energy, and made us feel the same. We knew we were in the best of hands and it made the most special day that much more enjoyable. Maura's photos are also stunning. I was hoping for a handful of good ones and there are literally hundreds. Over a month later, we are still pouring through them and discovering new gems. Thank you, Maura!

hotos! Also, super appreciate the time Maura took to make a timeline with me and know what details I wanted captured. Love y'all!

ged the original wedding date we were considering because she was already booked on that day. Being a wedding photographer myself, I am very picky, and Maura blew my expectations out of the water! I could not be happier with our wedding and engagement photos she created for us!

ura was always prompt in responding when we had any questions and was full of so many great recommendations. Sarah and Hannah were the photographers at our wedding and were so helpful in making sure we got all the photos we wanted and more. We seriously loved them and they were very professional! They helped to keep us on time and were so detail oriented. We got so many comments from our bridal party, family, and guests about how impressed they were with Sarah and Hannah and their work. We were amazed at how fast Maura was in getting us our photos and are so happy with the quality and number of photos we have. Maura and her team are nothing short of amazing and we absolutely recommend them!!

le and we had so much fun with them. I am beyond pleased that we chose them to capture our special day! I have absolutely nothing but positive things to say about them and my experience. Book these ladies!!!!!

style leaves you with timeless photos that you will treasure. Not only is Maura’s photography top-of-the-line, but she is also amazing to work with. I felt entirely supported by her throughout our entire wedding process. She provided countless recommendations for various vendors and was quick to respond whenever I had a question or needed advice. Maura and Hannah were also the perfect addition to our wedding day. They made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and made taking our portraits a fun and memorable part of our day. We had a blast hanging out with them and I felt like they were old friends by the end of the night. I highly recommend booking Maura Jane Photography- you will be left with amazing photos and a professional yet fun experience.

fessional they look and her team is. It was such a pleasure working together, and we can't thank you enough for making our big day so special and seamless! Not to mention the turnaround time on the photos are very prompt! I would highly recommend Maura Jane Photography to anyone who is planning on getting married soon!!!

to compromise when it came to our wedding photos! So, I was ecstatic when my wedding planner said that they were available for our wedding date! To say that they are the absolute best wedding photographer team in the Southwest is an understatement! Not only is their work artistic, creative and captivating, but Maura is so thoughtful and professional. As soon as we booked with them, Maura reached out to us by email and phone to get to know us personally. She then sent us the sweetest care package that included a detailed “wedding handbook” to help guide us through the entire process from our engagement photos to our actual wedding day! For our engagement session in March, our photographer Sarah recommended a location at White Mesa. Even though it was a very cold day (with a little bit of snow on the ground), Sarah made us so comfortable, she had us laughing through our shivers; producing the most stunning photos! When it came to our wedding day, Sarah and Hannah were so patient, kind, and understanding with our big family. We are so in love with every photo from our wedding day. Everything we were hoping was captured, absolutely was, and more! Thank you so much MJ Photography, for the beautiful attention to detail, and for capturing all of the small and big moments of our incredible day. It is so special we will have these photos to cherish forever.

ever felt comfortable taking pictures, but they made it so easy. They captured our wedding in such a fun way! Loved seeing all of the candid pictures and all the personalities of our guests. Also, we got our pictures back so fast!! We even got a sneak peak of over 100 pictures that weekend! My friends couldn't believe that we already had pictures back. Couldn't recommend them enough!

to me vent, and gave honest advice. She is so knowledgeable about everything related to a wedding day. We loved having her and Hannah apart of our day and LOVE the few photos we have seen so far. Highly recommend this team for your wedding day!!

elped me with my timeline for the day of, sent this beautiful book on pretty much “how to be a bride” (I needed all the help I could get!), answered ALL of my questions (picture related and not), and just completely made me so comfortable on my wedding day and leading up to it. I truly hired the best I could when it comes to something I will literally have forever… pictures of the most special moments of my life. Thank you times a million Maura, Hannah, and crew. You girls make such an impact on so many people’s lives without even knowing it!

e this team as our wedding photographers. Maura helped us plan through three wedding dates thanks to covid and even moved our contract over to a travel one when our second planned New Mexico wedding date just didn't pan out. Sarah and Hannah shot the most incredible/beautiful pictures on our special day and ensured that we were able to take pictures with everyone who was able to attend. We could not have picked a better team to spend our day with! So excited to plan future family shoots with the MJP team and will forever recommend this incredible team to anyone planning a wedding/elopement.

e had to have the MJP Team capture our special day! We were one of the unfortunate couples that had to postpone our wedding and Maura and her team were extremely flexible in adjusting our wedding date. The photos that Maura and Sarah captured of our special day were truly the most beautiful photos and the memories that each photo holds is timeless!!! Maura's photos help us RELIVE the BEST DAY of OUR LIVES each and every single day. We will definitely have the MJP Family take photos of all our future memories :) - Melanie G.

bsolute best. During the entire process they were both always available for any questions we had and were always so encouraging and always offered support! To me, they were more than just photographers, they became friends! I would work with them for every family event. Truly, we are so grateful to Maura and Sarah and I would highly recommend them for a wedding! Our pictures came out beautiful and we are so happy with them!

feel so comfortable. Highly talented and the kindest people. We will treasure these photos forever and hope to use them again for future special moments. Can’t recommend them enough!

e the right eye to capture the mood, lighting and story. Maura and her team not only impressed me, but her sense for pictures, lighting, and framing made our pictures most memorable. She captured every moment so well, friends and family have started to cry just be looking at the photos. Not only would I hire Maura and her team again, but I would love to poach her and her team to NYC, to work with me. They were professional, sensible, and quite innovative. They were always a step-ahead, prepared and worked well with children. I would hire Maura and her team again.

came to the big day we knew exactly what to expect and couldn't be happier with the results! I have literally had the hardest time picking my favorite they all came out phenomenal. I would rebook them in a heart beat. So worth it! Maura even took the time to keep me posted on everything step of what to expect. I felt like an absolute princess that day and these 3 girls made me feel all that much more special. A million times thank you!

and compassionate to the inevitable stress that occurs before and during a wedding. If anyone is looking for a photographer I would 100% recommend Maura Jane Photography.

didn't happen). This means that because of the pandemic and multiple date changes, Maura has been helping me for almost 3 years! She was there to offer advice on vendors and maintained so much excitement for our wedding. I am pretty sure she was emailing me while in the hospital right after having her beautiful baby girl. That's just who she is, a true professional who really cares about her couples. She was so helpful and flexible when we decided to split our wedding day in two. I could go on and on about how thankful I am for her responsiveness! Now for the photos - ohmygoshilovethemsomuch. Seriously, the photos are beyond what I could have ever imagined. She captured our days so beautifully and I am so happy! Thank you Maura Jane Team! 100/10 recommend!

Their communication was always timely,, but what we loved most is that they took on so many roles throughout the process from recommending vendors to us to helping us build our wedding day timeline. The MJP team rolled with the punches throughout the uncertainty that COVID brought to our plans. My husband & I decided to do a minimony & when we shared our change of plans, the MJP team was 100% supportive and just as excited as we were. Our wedding day flowed smoothly and stress-free thanks to our wonderfully sweet & talented photography team. Every special moment from the laughs and tears of joy were timelessly captured & our couples portraits felt straight out of a fairytale. Our photo delivery was extremely quick! Day after the wedding we had a few preview photos and 1 week later we had our full catalog!! Every single photograph was light & airy, giving our wedding images a fairytale-like feel to them & brining back all the emotions from our special day. Without hesitation, Maura Jane Photography is the absolute perfect choice for your wedding day!

of 2020, and it was great having Maura as a resource to narrow down on scheduling and items we didn’t even really think of. On top of being overall good people to work with, the photos were phenomenal! They were exactly what we were imagining and more. The little snippets and videos for social are also so special to us. You won’t be disappointed working with this team.

nt...FAR exceeded our expectations! I'm a designer by trade and very picky and I'm absolutely certain another photographer couldn't have captured our day with such beauty like Maura Jane Photography did. Simply a wonderful and incredible experience. Amy & Craig
