Hello, I'm Maranda
Wedding Photographer
I’m a 33-year-old photographer based in beautiful Summersville, West Virginia. I’m a wife to my supportive husband, Levi, and a mom to two amazing kids, Lily and Greyson, who keep life fun, busy, and full of laughter. Our little family is rounded out by our sweet dog, Luna.
Photography has become my way of freezing life’s most meaningful moments—those tiny, emotional, in-between stories that make each person and each family unique. Whether I’m capturing the joy of a wedding day, the chaos and cuddles of family sessions, or the small details people want to remember forever, my goal is always the same: to create images that feel genuine, warm, and full of life.
I’m so grateful to do what I love and even more grateful for the people I get to meet along the way. I can’t wait to tell your story through my lens.
My approach
My approach to photography is rooted in connection, comfort, and authenticity. I believe the most meaningful images come from real moments—not forced poses—so I focus on creating an easy, relaxed experience where you can simply be yourselves. Whether I’m guiding you into natural movement or stepping back to capture the candid in-betweens, my goal is always to photograph you in a way that feels true to who you are.
I pay attention to the little things—soft light, gentle interactions, genuine emotion—because they tell the story that words can’t. Every session is built around your unique personalities and relationships, and I carefully balance beautiful composition with the raw, heartfelt moments that make your photos feel alive. At the end of the day, I want you to walk away with images that feel warm, timeless, and full of the love and connection that make your story one of a kind.
