Hi, I’m Maria.
Photographer, visual storyteller, creative director, and the person behind Maria Pineda Photography.
Based between New York and Mexico, I document love stories wherever they take me.
I’m drawn to the nervous hands, the quiet glances, and the laughter after the “serious” photo — the moments that make your story yours.
My approach blends editorial direction with documentary storytelling. I’ll guide you when you need it and step back when the moment deserves to unfold naturally.
I want you to live your wedding fully — and have photographs that bring you back to exactly how it felt.
Based in New York & Mexico. Available worldwide.
About my Work
Beyond Photography
I don't just document weddings. I help shape the experience.
From our first conversation, I bring creative direction to every detail that shapes your photographs — the flow, the timing, the light, and the pace — so you can spend less time worrying about the camera and more time living your wedding.
My approach combines editorial direction, documentary storytelling, and a deeply personalized experience.
I'll guide you when it matters, step back when it doesn't, and create space for the moments that happen naturally.
The result? Beautiful, cinematic imagery that never makes your wedding feel like a photoshoot.
Photographs that don't just show what happened. They bring you back to how it felt.
This isn't just photography as a service. It's storytelling with intention.
