Meet Mariel

This blog is a small representation of my most current sessions, my clients love stories and all the adventures I am privilaged to go on! Ways to my heart include coffee, feeding me before I am "hangry" and anything shabby chic/rustic. My vintage camera collection grows everday and I am usually smiling and quoting random movies. Most importantly Mariel O. Photo celebrates love in all forms regardless of race, religion, or sexual orientation & gender identity.

Sarah & Robby | Shelton Ceremony

This wedding is my first for 2020! I can't believe we are in June and I am saying that but we all know that this virus had put a damper on celebrations and gatherings this year. I want to commend my couples for being just the most chill people and handling the change in plans with grace. I can't say I would be this way if it were me!

I get it that progress takes time. I guess I didn't know where photography would take me all the places it has and meeting all the people I have.

Mariel Monthly | May

May is always a busy month full of holidays and birthdays! Even though Covid-19 put a damper on traditional gathering and celebration there was still some form of it taking place. As I reflect on this month I realize how lucky I am. Even though my first wedding was suppose to be on the 14th it means more to me that everyone is safe.

Mariel Monthly | April

This month has been more of the same being social distant and staying home as much as possible. This month we would have been traveling to Cozumel, Mexico. I was really looking forward to going since Micheal and I have never been. I am hanging onto hope that this will be over fairly soon and we will be able to travel once again.
