Why Marcia?



"In a word, I am addicted to photographing
weddings! I love how each moment unfolds,
becoming a memory, and being able to give
my couples those very memories on paper"

"As a woman I believe I share a special
sensitivity with brides, knowing how the
moods and emotions of the day need to be
savored...as an artist, I use a wide variety
of film and techniques to capture those
moments... interpreting them in a way that
brings the emotions flooding back again
and again."

"There's a certain passion that is necessary
to work in the wedding field. I'm excited by
the creative possibilities in every event and
honored to be selected as the person trusted
to record your memories. It's a passion that
energizes me and is conveyed in every collection
of images I produce. I'm looking forward to the
opportunity of sharing that passion with you."


Marcia is refreshingly approachable, an asset
to any event. Her easy-going personality allows
her to be flexible as circumstances change, while
her experience qualifies her to work in even the
most challenging situations. Her professionalism
is credited by her listing as a preferred vendor
at many of Santa Barbara's premiere locations such
as The San Ysidro Ranch, Firestone Vineyard and many others.

Marcia constantly upgrades her skills by studying with the most well known photographers in the world, including Martin Schembri (Australia), Joe Buissink (U.S.) and Bambi Cantrell (U.S.) to bring cutting edge, fashionable photography to her clients.
