Wedding Photography
By Paulina Maria

I photograph weddings with an artistic eye for both exquisitely beautiful moments and all the emotions sweeping through the room. I believe in true love and destiny, and it is my utmost pleasure to capture your story throughout your big day.

My style is emotive, cinematic, documentary-storytelling with an editorial edge.

My personality is equal parts goofy and grounded, and I’m willing to do just about anything to get an incredible shot.

With over 20 weddings under my belt and a lifetime of being a photographer, I have what it takes to preserve the magic and joy of your wedding day dreams.

I live in sunny St Pete, Fl and am available for travel, destination weddings, and elopements worldwide.
