Mari’s Paradise Images

Mari is the BEST photographer on the Emerald Coast. She is very poilte, friendly snd a true professional. She captured images like no other photographer I have ever seen. Simply breath taking photos!

As a bridesmaid in this wedding, all I can comment on is this photographer’s complete lack of professionalism. I guess some kind of discount was given since it was the off season. It was like she had this sense that she was doing everyone a favor by being there. No lady, you were being paid good money.
She was rude to the officiant when he suggested getting a shot of the marriage certificate being signed, by saying «It’s a dated shot, but whatever.» She failed to get the shot at all and then realized that it was on the list of shots she was supposed to actually take per the bride’s request.
She approached the bride’s new brother-​in-​law who was taking candid family shots during the reception saying that she had an exclusive contract and no one else could take pictures (WTH?!?) He has a nice camera but was definitely not there in a professional capacity.
She took FOREVER taking the after ceremony shots. Guests commented to me later that it took way to long for the couple to get to the reception. She could have planned better to get some of the pictures before the ceremony (still keeping the bride and groom separate), but she didn’t. Then, she balked at the wedding coordinator who was trying to hurry her along since it was freezing outside and the honor guard had been standing at attention for 45 minutes inside the reception room.
Rude, rude, rude. I would never recommend this photographer to anyone no matter how great the pictures turned out. –Which I saw some of the pictures and they were not anything special. Go elsewhere.
