Discover what it means to work with Marla Collective—and the elevated experience we thoughtfully curate for each of our clients.
At Marla Collective, we believe the true value of a photograph lies not in the celebration itself—but in the people within the frame. The laughter of your dearest friends, the quiet glance between generations, the joy that lingers long after the music fades. These are the moments that become heirlooms.
With a deeply intentional approach, we preserve the essence of your day through a collection of elegant, emotive imagery—woven with love, joy, and the quiet beauty of connection. Every couple, every family, every story we photograph is entirely unique. It’s this individuality that inspires our work and shapes every frame.
To be entrusted with capturing such meaningful moments is a true honor—one we approach with great care and genuine gratitude.
This work is not only our passion; it is our purpose.
Because while life gives us countless beautiful chapters, the most enduring treasures are the ones held closest—the people, the emotions, and the memories that remain long after the day is done. These are the stories worth preserving. This is the heart of what we do.
It is our distinct honor and privilege to curate a bespoke collection that reflects your unique signature of love and joy. While life offers a tapestry of remarkable moments worthy of celebration, the true treasures lie within the intimate memories shared among your closest circle—timeless portraits that grace your journey through the years.
Guided by this philosophy, we dedicate ourselves to exquisitely capturing candid expressions, heartfelt emotions, and the unparalleled magic that exists between you and your loved ones—crafting enduring heirlooms that transcend fleeting moments and become cherished legacies.
Our trademark offering—and the incredible opportunity to intersect your love story and greatest adventure—ensures that your wedding day is captured in a way that is authentic, beautiful, and natural. Our balance of photojournalism, editorial and artistic composition protects the integrity of your wedding day—allowing you the opportunity to enjoy every moment, and still receive photographs that will inspire you for years to come.

One of my favorite ways to get creative with our clients for their photography is in their pre-wedding portrait sessions.
The possibilities are endless, with coastal & city scape destinations in Texas, your style of fashion, and aesthetics uniquely tailored to your story and your love.
Be it the welcoming of your new baby, portraits for your business, or celebrating an anniversary—documenting the seasons of your life is always a gift.
Over the years of weddings and brand photoshoots, I've built relationships and developed a real love for the simpler, smaller moments I get to share with my clients.
