Smiley & Spirited
Photography serving Connecticut
You have a timeless love story sort of like the greats of Luke & Lorelei, Ben & Leslie, or David & Patrick! I am former bride, who can’t get enough of being in the presence of love!
After my own 2014 wedding and many years of child portraiture the transition to the world of wedding has been nothing short of amazing!
My goal is to not only capture bright, bold, natural images but truly share in your love story!
Every couple has a unique rhythm, a way of looking at each other that belongs only to them. My work is about finding those quiet, unspoken moments and the loud, joyous celebrations that define your relationship. From the first look to the final dance, I am there to preserve the magic.
“We were very impressed with her creativity”
— Yayee & Michael
Mariel was extremely professional and took beautiful pictures. We were very happy with the photos and would highly recommend her for any wedding or special event. We were very impressed with her creativity. For example, taking pictures of our rings in a variety of poses, taking candid shots of people having a good time, and especially some of the snow themed poses she thought of. She brought us a His & Hers ring dish as a gift-and to use in pictures- and even brought a bottle of champagne. I strongly recommend anyone who is having a wedding to consider her services.
