Excellent photographer with a great eye!
Pink Light Photography truly exceeded our expectations! From start to finish, they were not only friendly and professional but also incredibly responsive. We felt like they were genuinely invested in capturing our special day in the most beautiful way possible. The photo session was a fun adventure, filled with laughter and seamless communication, which made us feel at ease and allowed our personalities to shine through in the stunning photos they produced.
The creativity and talent of the Pink Light Photography team truly shone through. They delivered breathtaking images that we will cherish forever. We had a preview album within two days and the pictures were stunning! Our final album was delivered within the timeframe they had told us. We are overjoyed with the variety of shots, the intimacy of the shots, and the flexibility and openness to work with us.
Overall, we can't recommend Pink Light Photography enough for their exceptional service and the stunning memories they helped us create. We are so grateful to have found them and wouldn't hesitate to work with them again in the future for other special occasions. Thank you, Pink Light Photography, for ensuring our wedding day will always be remembered so beautifully!

The best photographer!
Maria was such a pleasure to work with, she was easy to communicate with, so sweet, patient with all our family, friends and pup, and of course the photos were AMAZING!! We wanted a blend of candid and posed photos and she was great at giving direction and then slipping into the background and to capture all the moments in between. She helped us figure out our timeline and work with our wishlist of shots we wanted to have. Not to mention we had our photos within a month of the wedding which is incredible!! I honestly cannot thank her enough for everything she did, if you’re looking to have a lovely photographer to take stunning photos and help you through all the emotions and timelines of your big day Maria is the photographer for you!

Would recommend a million times!
Maria made my wedding day effortless- she captured some of the most genuine memories my husband and I will cherish forever. She is extremely easy to communicate with and will bring all of your visions to life. I couldn’t recommend Pink Light enough- I cannot wait to keep using her talents throughout the years! I’m so happy to have found a friend and photographer in Maria!

More than we could ever hope for!!
If you need a wedding photographer, Maria is the one you are looking for!! Seriously she is the best and I believe our wedding day was THAT much better because of her. When I reached out to Maria I had also reached out to some other potential photographers and Maria was the only one who replied in a very personable manner. She was so friendly from the very beginning, just as excited as we were for the wedding day and truly went out of her way to make us comfortable and have a good relationship with her! She also went above and beyond offering to help in finding other vendors if we needed. When we got our engagement pictures back I knew that we had made the right decision in choosing Maria! On our wedding day she showed up early and directed us in a way that was nice but structured. She had our gallery sneak peek back to us within a few days of the wedding and we got the entire gallery back about a month later!! I am soooo happy we met Maria and we have such beautiful pictures to look back on and will be forever grateful!!!!

Perfect & kind
Maria was absolutely incredible to work with! From the very beginning, she made the whole process feel so easy and stress-free. We’re not local to the Big Sur/Carmel area, but she went above and beyond to help my fiancé find the perfect spot to propose. Her knowledge of the area and her eye for beautiful locations made all the difference.
On the day of the shoot, she made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, which is no small feat since we’re not used to being photographed. The whole experience felt natural and fun, and the photos turned out beyond anything we could have imagined. We’ll cherish them forever.
If you’re looking for a photographer who truly cares and will make your experience unforgettable, Maria is the one. We can’t recommend her enough!

Amazing photographer, kind, and love the photos!
My husband and I think that finding Maria was one of the best things we did for our wedding. She is so kind and easy to work with, responds quickly to emails/texts, and got us edited photos so quickly! We did an engagement session with her first, and we immediately appreciated how good she was at putting us at ease. She gave clear directions and the photos she took are just stunning!
Our wedding was spread across two days and Maria was not available for the second day, but she sent her friend K and her husband Shane in her stead. Shane and K were also both fantastic and easy to work with. Maria does all of the photo editing and our photos across both days have a coherent style that we both love. Our wedding was in the redwoods and Maria captured the magic of the light coming through the trees perfectly. I also feel like she was equally good at the posed photos as she was with the candids. We are so very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Maria!! 11/10 would absolutely work with her again!

Amazing experience with Pink Light Photography!
We hired Maria to do a photo shoot in Carmel, just after we were married in Santa Barbara. We wanted something intimate, natural, not too posed, and in beautiful natural surroundings. Maria was fantastic—she made us feel so comfortable and knew exactly how to “pose” us so that the shots didn’t look posed at all. When we got the initial photos, we were absolutely thrilled! We had such a hard time picking our final set of photos! Maria has such an artistic eye, we would highly recommend her to anyone!! Thank you Maria!!

Maria is amazing!
Where do we begin…
Maria is amazing, I’ve known her for quite some time now as I am also in the wedding industry as a planner/coordinator and I tell all my brides to book with her! Her artistic vision is flawless and she really brings out true emotion in every click of her camera. There is no other photographer like her! The process of working with her was easy and she helped guide us with ideas by sending full outfit suggestions and locations she has that would help us find the perfect place and look to match our vision. She is full of love, confidence and energy she made our shoot fun and relaxed. Especially for two people like us who aren’t huge photo people! I cannot recommend her enough! Wish I could leave her a million reviews! Book Maria, you won’t regret it

Hiring Maria was one of the best decisions!
We made for our wedding. She struck the perfect balance between professionalism and warmth, making us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. My fiancé and I aren’t always comfortable taking pictures, but she disarmed us with her kindness and guidance, making the experience not only easy but truly enjoyable. And the results? Absolutely breathtaking. We cannot stop obsessing over our photos—they are stunning, timeless, and perfectly capture the emotion of the day. We’re so grateful for her, as well as the talent and care she put into every photo.
