The “Friendors Exclusive”
Wedding Photography Experience
For couples personally referred by our trusted vendor partners
If you’ve received this from one of our incredible vendors — someone who knows how much care and artistry goes into your wedding — consider this your personal invitation to something special.
You’ve already built a dream team that understands your vision. Now, it’s time to ensure your story is captured the way it deserves — naturally, thoughtfully, and with intention.
The Experience
“Chaos is better together — in life and behind the camera.”
Hey! We’re Mariela & Demetris, a husband-and-wife team capturing both stills and motion for intimate weddings and adventure elopements. We’re so excited that you’re dreaming up a wedding day that feels truly yours — no pressure, no expectations. Your day should feel meaningful, intentional, and reflective of your relationship, and we’re here to help guide and assist you every step of the way.
This page will walk you through the experience we offer and what it looks like to invest in a day that gives you the freedom to be fully present with each other. Whether you’re planning a full-day celebration with 80+ guests or an intimate experience among the redwoods or Sierra Mountains, theres almost no place we wont travel within the USA There’s no stress, no fluff — just what matters most to you.
WHAT WORKING TOGETHER LOOKS LIKE
Here’s what “Experience Looks Like”
Step 1 — Connection First
We start with a relaxed call to get to know you — no pressure, no sales pitch. Just real conversation about your story, what you’re most excited about, and the emotions you want your photos to hold.
Step 2 — Crafting Your Day
Together, we’ll create a customized photography timeline that fits your wedding day — not the other way around. From quiet morning moments to golden-hour portraits, every detail will feel unhurried, real, and intentional.
Chances are, you’re here because one of our amazing Friendors thought we’d be a perfect fit — and they weren’t wrong. Need help finding an amazing wedding planner, florist, officiant, or hair and makeup artist? We have a list of trusted vendors who share our values and prioritize creating a seamless, meaningful experience for you.a
Step 3 — The Photos
We carefully edit each image and deliver a full-resolution online gallery so you can relive your day again and again. You’ll be able to download, share, and print your favorites easily. These aren’t just photos — they’re pieces of your story you’ll hold onto forever.
Step 4 — No Travel Fees & Friends
We travel anywhere in the US to capture your day — no surprise fees! Some locations may have additional travel costs, but for our no travel fee locations (California, Arizona, Pacific Northwest), you can breathe easy knowing the price is as advertised.
And here’s the fun part: we won’t disappear after your wedding day if you don’t want us to :) We’re here if you wish to help print your photos, design an album, or just share updates. Think of us as your Friends — the team that’s here for you beyond the wedding.
Step 5 — For Lifer
We love watching our couples grow and flourish. That’s why we offer all of our past wedding couples’ family sessions every year at 50% off. This way, we can be “creepers in a good way,” documenting your milestones and watching your beautiful family blossom over the years.
Is this for me?
I capture your day with a mix of film and digital, focusing on genuine, unscripted moments. Instead of instructional posing, I gently prompt you so every image feels natural and true—resulting in timeless, heirloom-quality memories you’ll treasure for a lifetime.
This isn’t about checking off a box
or finding the “cheapest option”. This is about having an experience where you feel seen, cared for, and celebrated! because your love deserves nothing less.

Let Mariela work her magic—she won’t disappoint! After doing our engagement photos with someone else, we had a complimentary session with Mariela, and we instantly loved every shot. We preferred her photos over our original ones! Without hesitation, we hired her for our wedding; she was professional and personable. My husband laughed and had fun the whole time. We loved the emotions captured in each image and are so happy we chose her!
