After photographing weddings across the country and abroad for over 11 years, I capture your day with both artistry and intuition. My calm, confident presence allows your connection to radiate—so every moment unfolds naturally and is deeply felt. Rooted in a love for people and a quiet responsibility to preserve your history, my work is created with care, honesty, and elegance.

Capturing Iconic, Unforgettable Moments for Couples in Love

I'm Mary Claire

Arizona & Destination Fine Art Wedding Photographer

The Mary Claire
Experience

You’ll spend more time with your photographer on your wedding
day than almost anyone else — which is why our connection
matters deeply to me. I approach each celebration with a calm
presence and quiet care, creating space for you to feel fully at ease.
My role is to artfully direct when needed, and to capture the
emotion and beauty as it naturally unfolds — so you can stay
present, and fully in the moment.
