Margarita was great! She was professional and super easy to work and correspond with. Above all, the photos turned out GREAT. My fiance and I loved every one of them and would highly recommend.

We could not be happier with our photos. Our wedding was set up in a unique way and required a photo schedule that was pretty abnormal. We're not huge photo people either so did not come in with skill or knowledge of what we wanted her to do. Despite those challenges, she approached everything with such intention, confidence, and expertise. She was able to truly encapsulate the day in her photos. The joy, authenticity, and love is all there. We cannot recommend her enough. Truly just a positive experience and above + beyond what we even hoped for.

Margarita was awesome to work with. She had less reviews compared to some other photographers but I really liked what I saw in her portfolio and aligned with the artistic style she goes for. I’m so happy I decided to go with her as the photos for our sunrise proposal turned out amazing. She understands what angles and backdrops work, and is great at positioning you in a way the makes the final pictures turn out amazing. Would highly recommend anyone considering hiring a photographer to go with Margarita!

Margarita was super professional, sweet and amazing! I hired her to take a few wedding pictures at city hall. She was punctual and communicated promptly throughout the whole process. The pictures came out amazing and I’m extremely happy that the pictures came out even better than I could imagine. I would definitely recommend Margarita to anyone who wants to take professional pictures!

After our originally booked photographer canceled last minute for my brother’s proposal, I reached out to several photographers on Thumbtack with only 1–1.5 hours’ notice. Margarita responded immediately and truly saved the day. She arrived quickly, was calm and professional, and despite the shoot being rushed, the photos turned out absolutely phenomenal. She captured the emotions and the moment beautifully. I’m incredibly grateful for her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and talented photographer.

My husband and I loved working with Margo; she captured our wedding day so well. She’s attentive to detail and directed our chaotic group so well 😂 Our pictures came out amazing. 10/10 recommend!

Working with Marrgostep Photography was an incredible experience for my proposal! Very responsive, showed up to the event early, did a great job directing us on all of the different poses, and the photos turned out amazing! Would recommend to anyone looking for a photographer for a proposal or similar event!

Margarita did the photos to our court house ceremony and wedding dinner. She was great from the time I reached out, was on time for both events and was great about capturing candid moments as well as more formal photos. The photos turned out beautiful!

Diane K.Oct 2025

Margarita was very accommodating and quick to respond when we reached out to her to photograph our 50th anniversary party. Our venue was small, but she worked around the tightness of the room. She was able to photograph our family and friends in both a posed and random pictures throughout the time allocated per our contract. We now have great memories to look upon in celebration of our 50th anniversary. thank you, Margarita.
