Discover what it means to work with Marla Collective—and the elevated experience we thoughtfully curate for each of our clients.

our signature collections

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.

A Philosophy Rooted in Legacy & Love

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. 

Here is how Marla Collective can help and what you can expect when working with us.

What to Expect

client guidance

How do we get started working together?

The Booking Experience

To begin your journey with us, kindly complete the inquiry form. This allows us to better understand your vision and provide tailored details, including availability and offerings.

Once your inquiry is received, we’ll schedule a personal consultation—an opportunity to connect, answer your questions, and thoughtfully plan your session with care and intention.

Following our conversation, securing your date is simple: a signed agreement and 50% retainer officially reserve your session in our calendar. From there, we begin crafting an experience designed to honor your story with timeless beauty.

Do the wedding collections include an engagement portrait session?

The Engagement Experience

A pre-wedding portrait session is thoughtfully included in our Signature Wedding Collection, designed to capture the grace and connection that define the beginning of your journey together.

For couples not yet in the planning stages but wishing to document their engagement, this experience is also available as a standalone offering. Sessions include extended time for wardrobe changes and makeup refreshes, ensuring you feel as polished as the moments we capture.

Each session is artfully guided by Marina or one of our associate portrait photographers, depending on availability, and includes support with location selection, styling insight, and a refined approach to posing and direction. The result is a collection of heartfelt, artful imagery—beautifully preserved in bespoke heirloom albums that celebrate the joy of this season.

Will each image receive professional editing prior to delivery?

Absolutely. Each portrait in your collection is meticulously retouched and delivered through a beautifully curated online gallery. You’ll also have the opportunity to elevate your experience with bespoke heirloom offerings—fine art prints, gallery-quality canvases, exquisite handcrafted albums, and other timeless keepsakes designed to preserve your story with enduring elegance.
