the experience

I value connection and genuine interactions and friendships. When you book me, I'm going to create an actual relationship with you, I will probably hug you the first time I meet you. I value people and the love you share with one another. Your biggest moments in life are special and mean something, I'll do everything in my power to treat your biggest moments like my own. Your love story matters.

If you're looking for a photographer that just shows up to take your picture and leaves, that's not me..

Here’s the real deal

LOVE NOTES

"Marie was the best photographer I could have ever chosen for my big day! Not only did she do an amazing job for me but she became my friend. She is one of the kindest women you'll ever meet and she does everything she can for you to make your pictures perfect." - Chelsea Johannesson

"Marie Skerl is a phenomenal photographer with such a great open personality and is able to make anyone feel comfortable in front of the camera!"

"Marie is not just a total sweetheart, super fun and personable, but she is also very professional. From the moment we met her, we knew she was the right match for us. Communication was excellent. Our wedding day went by without a hitch with Marie by our side. Her work is as amazing as she is. We would definitely recommend her!"

How are your pictures delievered?

All of your photos will be uploaded to a personal password-protected online gallery. You will be able to download them directly or have them printed. Additionally, you will receive a USB of all your photos in the mail.

Do you offer engagement sessions?

Why yes, I do! And I love them! I offer complimentary engagement sessions on most of my wedding packages. It is such a great way to get to know each other and for you to get used to me taking your photo.

How many photos do you deliver?

I deliver 100 photos per hour. Most lifestyle and branding sessions are 1.5-2 hours, so you will receive 150-200 high-resolution edited photos. If you book me for an 8 hour wedding, you will receive about 800 images.

Do you edit all photos?

Yes, I do. That is why it might take 12-15 weeks to get all of the photos to you. It can be a very long process.

Do you travel?

Yes, I love to! Reach out to me and we can discuss the details. 

How many more do you charge for travel?

It depends on where we are going, I will price out flight/gas/car rental and accommodations for the specific area. 

What type of payment is accepted?

I take cash, PayPal, Venmo and credit cards through HoneyBook, e-transfer is available in Canada.

How long have you been a photographer?

I've been a photographer since 2011 and have loved every second of it! 

Can we not do the engagement session and get a cheaper wedding package?

No, the wedding package price will stay the same whether you decide to get engagement photos or not, as they are complimentary and so important to the process.

Do you have back-up gear?

Yes, I do! I have Canon R5, Canon 5D, Mark III and Canon 5D Mark IV cameras, flashes, lenses and many memory cards. I will also back up your photos on my computer, hard drive and online with Backblaze and PicTime.

We are interested in booking, now what?

Please email me at marieskerlphoto@gmail.com or fill out my contact form on my website to get started!

What should we wear to our session?

I have an outfit planning guide that I send to clients to help make planning what to wear that much easier! When you book, I'll send it to your inbox! 

Do you capture destination weddings?

Most definitely! Couples now seek unique, remote, and breathtaking locations to exchange their vows, and I would be thrilled to capture these special moments for you. I would love to have the privilege of capturing love stories unfold against the backdrop of stunning landscapes, exotic beaches, historic landmarks, and picturesque vistas.

Why should we take engagement photos?

A few reasons, but mainly to document a major life event. Your engagement is special and just like your wedding pictures, the photos offer a visual reminder of those wonderful times in the early stages of life together.

Do you help in the planning process?

Write your answer right here, make it short, sweet and to the point so you can stay within 1-2 lines of text if possible.

Do you photograph babies, families, etc..?

Yes, I do! I love capturing portraits of your growing families and being your photographer for life. I mostly specialize in weddings and couples but will always capture your family.
