"Simply put, we adore and love Mariam, as our incredibly kind, talented and amazing photographer but also as the amazing friend she grew to be! From our first meeting, engagement sessions and our wedding, Mariam outdid herself each time! Her work is impeccable, timeless, elegant, glamorous and stunning! We are lucky to have found our forever photographer. She is trustworthy, calming and the ultimate hype gal when it comes to getting a great shot and posing you! We truly couldn’t imagine a better team and photographer to have in our lives and to have captured our special day! Five stars truly is an understatement. We have recommended Mariam to many and cannot wait to have her capture more of life's special moments for us!"

"Mariam is absolutely amazing! We have had the greatest opportunity of having her as our photographer. Her photos are breathtaking and we could not have asked for a better photographer for our wedding! I don’t know where to begin, from the moment we had our engagement photos - we were already excited to see what our wedding photos would be like. They are vibrant, bright and airy. The image quality is unbelievable and Mariam is so talented. When we received our wedding sneak peak photos, we were speechless. But not just that, over the last year we have also gotten to know her personally and become friends. She is a beautiful person inside and out. She takes a genuine interest in her clients and she will make sure to capture all of your special moments that are dear to you. We made a life long friend in our wedding photographer! :) If you’re searching, look no further! Mariam is the best there is, she captures memories that will last a lifetime"

"Mariam was a perfect choice for our wedding!! We instantly wanted her as our photographer after looking through her photos. We loved her vibrant style and thought all of her albums were gorgeous.
Mariam was quick with her photo turn-around time and very professional. Everyone including family, friends and other vendors enjoyed working with her. She's very thoughtful and efficient with her pose ideas and makes you feel at ease in front of the camera. Her calm demeanor was also a huge factor during the wedding day when nerves were very high!
We appreciated having her on our day and are very thankful we found such a great photographer to capture these lifelong memories!
