My philosophy

Lasting memories through breathtaking, soulful imagery

Professional portrait of someone in a classic black blazer and dark outfit posing confidently against a light background.
Professional photographer wearing all black business attire sits with a mirrorless camera against white background.

I believe luxury is more than just aesthetics—it’s an experience, a feeling, and a memory that lasts beyond the wedding day. My photography style blends timeless elegance with raw, unscripted emotion, creating images that are both artful and deeply personal. I capture love in its most authentic form—the quiet glances, the joyful tears, the effortless laughter—preserving not just how your wedding looks, but how it feels. Every frame is meticulously composed, with an editorial yet organic approach that highlights exquisite details, refined fashion, and the depth of your love story. My goal is to create imagery that feels luxurious, meaningful, and entirely you.

Testimonials


'The quality of her work and value was unparalleled - she captured all of the emotions of our special day in a fun, bright, and photojournalistic style that was irreplaceable. The beach photos, especially the iconic "windblown veil" shot, were absolutely stunning, even with the challenging windy conditions. We received so many compliments on how gorgeous and high-quality our photos were, and we can't stop looking at them!"

"Marcela is there for you. Everything is about you, your husband, your family and what makes YOU feel beautiful, handsome and happy. I am a bit camera shy, as I think most people are but she understands that too and does so much to help break that and make you shine through the pictures.



You can tell this really is her calling. Her work has left me in tears over and over again. Every time I see the first look photos I still cry months later. She WILL capture your day exactly how you imagined it and go way beyond that."

"We HIGHLY recommend Marcela if you are looking for a wedding photographer in Charleston. She is experienced, professional, passionate, and easy-going yet serious about her work. She was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond!!


My husband and I got married at Charleston Harbor Resort on 4/28/23 and hired Marcela as a photographer. I love her style, light and airy. Throughout the wedding process she was constantly in communication with us, answering any questions we had. She was also constantly in communication with my wedding planner which was super helpful as well."
