The Experience

My role is to create a calm, intentional experience where you feel free to be fully present.


Inspired by fine art, and film photography, I create imagery that reflects how the day felt.


Based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, I serve couples throughout West Michigan, Northern Michigan, and destinations worldwide.


So far, I have traveled to Detroit, Chicago, Dallas, Hawaii, Switzerland and Italy.

Wedding, Elopement & Lifestyle Photography Across Michigan and Beyond


Based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, I photograph weddings, elopements, couples, families, and creative brands throughout Michigan and wherever your story takes us.


Every experience is designed to help you slow down, feel seen, and be fully present with the people you love.

 

Every gallery is a reminder that the most meaningful photographs aren't just beautiful—they're rooted in the way a moment felt.

Testimonials

I am audibly gasping at all of these, oh my gosh! They just keep getting better and better! My aunt and grammy said you were such an incredible photographer, I will recommend you to everyone!!!

They are so incredible and perfect, thank you so much, Mariah.

Amber + Patrick

Mariah is so welcoming and kind at every photoshoot I've had with her. She has a calming presence that  puts you at ease and makes you feel comfortable from the very beginning. She truly makes you feel seen, and she's the kind of person you want to be around long after the session is over. I highly recommend Mariah to anyone looking for a thoughtful and talented photographer.

Allison Jenkins

Professional from start to finish! My experience with Mariah was everything I hoped for and more. She listened to my concerns about making things feel staged or awkward and instead turned every moment into something that felt natural and genuine. Looking through my gallery instantly brought me back to exactly how it all felt and I was completely in awe of the final images. I'll be hiring Mariah to capture every milestone in my life.
