KIND WORDS

"We met Maya at my sister's wedding in France, and after seeing her photos up on my sister's wall, we knew straight away that we would ask her to do us the honour of photographing our special day in Italy. She did not disappoint! The tones she used, the colours, the details, the action shots, everything about her work is exactly what we hoped for - more in fact. We would not have trusted anybody else and loved how personable she was. All this along with Maya's warm personality and discretion on the day has left us eternally grateful that she gave us her time. For Maya, it is more than just a job, but a lifestyle, and you can see that from her work. Thank you so much a million times Maya, we are forever in debt for capturing the most magical three days of our lives so far. All our love, Abbie & Jimmy."

Maya is an immeasurably talented photographer. She has a remarkable ability to capture the magnificent light of Provence in all its magic. Maya has photographed our family on four occasions over the years all across Provence (our engagement in Nice, our civil ceremony in the Cotes du Rhone, our wedding celebration in Aix-en-Provence, and our family with two small children in Cairanne, Vaucluse) and each collection of her photos has become a family treasure. Maya’s photos grace our home, framed and displayed, and printed into albums and photo books of our precious memories together. Maya is wonderful at photographing families and children, intimate and large gatherings, and capturing the little charming details that are so evocative of Provence, it’s atmosphere and light. Maya is so familiar with this region and her love for Provence and it’s beauty shines through each of her images. Her relationship with her clients is impeccable - she effortlessly tailors her approach to each different setting and occasion. We could not recommend Maya highly enough, and will be relying on her to capture our family memories for years to come.

“It was more than 3 years ago when we had our first contact with Maya. As we were preparing for our wedding, Yoomin and I both agreed on finding "the" amazing photographer to capture it, for memories to be kept and looked back on. We went through many, but not until we found Maya that we finally both felt happy and reassured. We love how her photos convey warmth, light, details, and most importantly, love. Quickly we got in touch, and when she came back to us, it was an immediate click, so our journey with Maya began!

Over the years, we've had many photoshoots with Maya. Our wedding in Paris, an elopement shoot before relocating to Asia, my maternity photoshoot in Deauville and Etretat, and last September we were so grateful to have her in Seoul for our baby girl's 1st birthday+reception. For us, Maya is much more than just a photographer, she's a dear friend. All the meetups and strolls in Paris and city explores in Seoul are beautiful memories to us. We know that the special friendship will continue to grow strong and we look forward to having many more photoshoots with her!”

"We had the pleasure and honor to have Maya as our wedding photographer in August 2019 in the South of France. The feeling was immediate with her, and she directly understood our wishes. She was so discreet, kind, and extremely attentive during the wedding. We felt we knew her for many years, and she made us so comfortable during the couple shooting.

The cherry on the cake was when we received the photos! She captured so well the emotion and special moments from our wedding. We could deep again into our wedding day just by looking to the photos. She is so talented and she has definitely a gift!!

We know that if we have to capture again some special moments in our life, we will directly contact her.

"After seeing Maya’s beautiful work on her Instagram page, we were so delighted when we confirmed her as our photographer for our wedding.


From the initial Skype call prior to the wedding, we knew we were in the safest of hands in capturing all of the special moments on the day.


Maya was so discrete on the day itself, and yet managed to capture every moment for us. She is also incredibly adept at calming the nerves of an anxious bride!


Maya’s versatility meant that we have both beautiful formal wedding photos, as well as many more natural shots, which captured the essence and emotions of the day perfectly - when we look at our photos, it’s like relieving the day all over again!


Maya was an absolute pleasure to work with and we would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending her to any couple considering her as their photographer.

"Maya was absolutely wonderful! She is a true professional but also feels like a close friend. Her calm manner makes you feel instantly at ease and she seamlessly blends direction with organic, natural moments that are very apparent in the images. Her work is timeless and we chose her knowing our grandchildren would admire our wedding photos as much as we. Thank you Maya for capturing our sweet day so perfectly!"

I really can't stress enough how amazing her photos are, and how she has the ability to take me back to the moments she captured. She is like my fairy godmother of memories!
I remember meeting her for the first time to prepare for our upcoming wedding at the Bastide de Gordes. We spent the day driving around Provence, chatting, and scouting lovely sites for photos. It's easy to be with Maya.
She also works assuredly and discreetly. When last year was a bust because of covid- I knew I wanted to take advantage of the downtime to organise a styled shoot. Maya was THE photographer I wanted to capture my vision, as I knew I could fully trust her and her soft editing style to memorialize the shoot.
It’s always a pleasure... - Rhiann

“J'ai eu le plaisir de travailler avec Maya sur un des mariages que j'organisais dans le Sud de la France au Château de Cassis. N'ayant jamais travaillé auparavant avec elle, nous avons échangé et tout de suite j'ai pu apprécier la grande générosité dans son travail, l'écoute par rapport aux souhaits des mariés et bien évidemment la qualité de son travail. Que ce soit lors des préparatifs ou le jour J, Maya a réellement intégré l'équipe, essentiel pour la réussite du mariage, et nous avons travaillé main dans la main. Elle a su s'adapter aux imprévus tout en discrétion et toujours avec le sourire. Le résultat est juste magnifique. les photos reflètent parfaitement l'ambiance, la joie et l'amour durant cette journée incroyable.
Merci encore Maya de ton investissement et de ton côté très humain si important pour un jour comme ça!”

We were lucky enough to have Maya capture our wedding and after just receiving some sneak peek shots from the weekend, we absolutely cannot wait to receive the final edit! She is extremely talented, professional, discreet, and always made us feel so comfortable. Everything, from the communication in the lead up to the event, during the event, and after the event, couldn't have been better and we cannot say thank you enough!!!
