Meet Marena

Let's Connect

Hey! My name is Marena (she/they), I'm a queer Southern Maine photographer and I love to travel wherever your love story takes you (bring me to your destination wedding in Greece, I speak Greek)!

I love meeting you and creating connections for life! My heart seriously lights up when I receive a holiday card from someone I've worked with or get updated on how they're doing.

During your session or wedding day, you can expect me to be hyping you up, capturing natural, intimate moments, and most importantly, making sure you feel comfortable!

So excited you're here!

After photographing my first wedding four years ago, I called my mom on the way home and said, “this is what I’m meant to do”. I’ve loved every unique story I’ve gotten to witness through my lens, I can’t wait to see yours!

Marena was so kind right from the jump with setting up a time to talk about our shoot. The second I answered the phone, it felt like talking to an old friend. She was so easy to talk to and listened to our preferences of what we wanted. As someone who has struggled being in front of a camera, Marena put me at ease with relaxing and being natural. Their eye was spectacular with setting up the shots to the amazing pictures."
