About 18 months ago, my now husband and I got engaged. We saw Marianne's photos on Instagram and knew instantly that we wanted to get married in Glacier National Park at Big Bend. Flash forward 18 months later to our big day, Marianne and her protégé Grace KILLED IT. Those girls were down in the rocks, laying on the side of cliff, collaborating with one another on how to get the shot. They told us exactly what to do (which I desperately needed) and prioritized what we wanted - which was the most EPIC shots possible. Marianne and Grace are worth every single cent and every single moment of the wait. I felt like I was dreaming working with her. They are truly talented women who have a gift at their craft. I cannot recommend them enough. I wish I could re live our day again and again, and I look forward to coming back to see them in the future! read more

MARIANNE IS A GODDESS. Throughout the entire process, Marianne was very communicative and answered the millions of questions I threw at her. When we met Marianne at 5:30am at the park, she immediately felt like a best friend. She is HILARIOUS, sooo friendly, and she made the entire photography session FUN. She also has extreme knowledge of the entire park. She took us to places we never would have known about without her insider knowledge. The pictures came back very quickly and OOOMMMGGGGGG ARE YOU SERIOUS?! She PERFECTLY captured the breathtaking beauty of the park AND the love my husband and I have for each other. My husband feels pretty indifferent about most pictures, and even he said, "WOW. These are amazing!" I cannot recommend Marianne enough. Go get elopement photos, wedding photos, vow renewal photos, maternity photos, engagement photos, ANYTHING. Just work with Marianne!! You will NOT be disappointed! read more

Not only did we get epic photos that we will cherish forever... we also had a mini tour of areas we would never think to venture to. She was professional and FUN. - Oh wait.. did I mention her work was EPIC?! We can't thank Marianne enough for her expertise in photographing real-life fairy tale moments~* read more

We have used Marianne for family photos and for a special detail collage of a classic car that belonged to my husband's late grandfather. She has a relaxed and good-humored nature, and keeps things easy and fun - she also really seems to truly enjoy her work. In both instances, Marianne was very easy to work with and took care to use a variety of shots and angles to keep things creative and interesting. She also took time to go back and forth (and back and forth) with me to get the editing and processing just right. She makes great suggestions, but isn't pushy and listens to what you want, even if it differs from her own ideas. We would definitely recommend her to our friends and family. read more

Marianne was absolutely the BEST! Glacier was absolutely beautiful and our photos captured all of the beauty! She was so sweet, and helpful and feels like a friend you've known forever. I really can not say enough good things about her and her work. I am so thankful I'll have these photos to look back on and to remember my day as AMAZING as it was! I would recommend Marianne over and over again! You will not be disappointed! read more

It's hard to describe just how extraordinary Marianne is. Marianne helped with picking the perfect spot for my sons elopement since I had only been to Glacier once before. Her website on "how to elope in Glacier" provided me with a fantastic florist and all the particulars they would need. She was very timely in responding to all my questions. Her eye for the perfect picture is well, perfect. Marianne is an artist with a camera. Capturing every beautiful moment of the most perfect day. read more

Marianne is truly amazing and I can't recommend her enough. Our plans changed last minute because there was still so much snow in GNP (and we just hoped the park would open up more of the road!) and she was so flexible. She sent us some more options and went with whatever we asked. We met her the day of our wedding and she was an instant hit, she was funny and made us feel so comfortable. Most importantly our pictures turned out amazing - Marianne knows the best spots in the area and how to make you look great. read more

5 stars. Marianne and her assistant photographed my wedding and the photos were beautiful. She is fantastic at catching light at its best angles to get breathtaking pictures... Just look through her portfolio! And her prices are affordable. And she is wonderful to work with, making my honey and I comfortable! You won't regret going with Marianne. read more

Marianne and her team photographed my niece's wedding in West Glacier this past weekend and they were wonderful! They were very professional in that they were unobtrusive, not blocking the guests' view of the ceremony while they went about their work capturing the event. She walked the rather large venue property to determine where and when she would obtain the best shots and it really paid off. She then posted several pictures the next morning, whetting our appetites for more! Marianne was so personable, professional, and paid such attention to detail that I know we'll be viewing her photos and smiling for years to come... A big THANK YOU for being such a valuable part of the wedding team! read more

Marianne was a dream to work with! She made my husband and I feel comfortable and beautiful in front of her camera. The end product blew us away. Really though, the images she produced were jaw dropping. We have had so many compliments. Marianne was very easy to work with. She was responsive to emails and texts. We traveled to Montana for our wedding, and Marianne was kind enough to give us a list of suggested restaurants and things to-do. She even picked up my bouquet from the florist and delivered it on the day of our wedding - talk about service! Can't say enough great things. Thank you Marianne! read more
