The Light Effect Photography

Maria of The Light Effect Photography brings a lifelong passion for photography to wedding storytelling. Growing up surrounded by cameras in her family, she views photography as both an art form and a calling. Maria specializes in capturing the genuine moments and emotional connections that define a couple's wedding day, from quiet glances between partners to candid interactions with loved ones. She approaches each wedding as a collaborative process, working closely with couples beforehand to identify the moments and people most important to them. On the day itself, Maria handles logistics—finding family members, managing the timeline, and guiding poses—so couples can focus on celebrating rather than worrying about photographs. She serves Rhode Island and an expansive New England region including Boston, Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, Portland, Down East Maine, and select areas of Massachusetts and Connecticut.
