"Mary Claire was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding!"

"Mary Claire shot our engagement photos, where she made us feel so comfortable from the start. We were beyond IMPRESSED with the engagement photos, which made us absolutely confident that we had selected the right photographer for our wedding day. We had 3 young kids in our wedding party and Mary Claire was such a natural when it came to getting them to "look"/pay attention, behave, etc. She was on time and efficient with our wedding day schedule and worked seamlessly with the videographer and other vendors. Everything about her photos is PERFECTION. She captured all the right details, poses, views, lighting, etc. We truly couldn't be HAPPIER.”

Rachel & Will

"This woman is unbelievably gifted at what she does'

"Planning a wedding is stressful, but after the day, its over. The only thing you can take with you in the years to come are photographs. If you are someone who cares about classic, timeless, beautiful, natural photos of your wedding day - stop looking and HIRE MARY CLAIRE. We had our full wedding photos back in less than a month, amazing Polaroids that same night, and every single one of them blew us away. On top of that, she is kind, easy-going, organized, and a joy to be around. Made us both feel so relaxed and stress-free on our big day. She was the single best vendor we hired, hands down."

Kelly & Eli

"Choosing Mary Claire as our sunday brunch wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made!"

"We were much more interested in candid shots, and she has the most incredible eye for capturing the most authentic, romantic moments. We could not have loved our photos more. But just as importantly, she has a wonderful personality and calming presence, and she made us feel so comfortable throughout the day. She went out of her way to accommodate our requests, and we could not recommend her more.”

Kirsten & Bryan

"Mary Claire and her team are simply just incredible"

“I've never met someone who I would describe as being TOO GOOD at their job until I met Mary Claire. They are warm, welcoming, and make everyone feel at ease. They captured our wedding day perfectly. And now I have the impossible task of figuring out which of the 400+ photos I favorited should be in our wedding album, haha. Hire her and you won't be disappointed!”

Staci & Nate

"Mary Claire is a true professional"

“10/10. She captured every moment of our entire wedding day and every single photo came out fantastic. She brings a calming presence to a hectic wedding day. Her team is amazing and she is phenomenal. Book her if you are in the Scottsdale / Phoenix area!”

Jenn & Tim

"Every couple we have recommended her to has been so incredibly happy from start to finish"

“Our team has had the honor of working with Mary Claire on many weddings over the years, and a few in particular this spring. She provides so much comfort to couples as they step in front of the camera to have their love captured. She is a dream to work with on the wedding day and truly pours so much heart and creativity into the way share captures the moments of a wedding day.
