We could not have asked for a better experience, not only did their wonderful team capture my day beautifully. But they were kind, punctual, understanding, and patient in a chaotic environment. It being so affordable is just a very lucky bonus. Could not recommend a better team to capture your special day. Beautiful photos and a 10 minute video that brought us to tears.

About Vimana Photography
Hello, friend! My name is Maria, and along with my husband, Donny, we are the husband and wife foundation of Vimana Photography & Cinema. We have over a decade in business, global and nationwide clientele, and focus on fun, authentic, and timeless documentation of the important moments that is your life. We specialize in wedding photography and videography, but also capture couples, families, and maternity. We use pro-level Canon cameras and lenses, and edit to enhance your natural beauty and remove distractions, while presenting a beautifully curated final gallery. Our style could be described as timeless, true to life, and with a nod to fine art. Our ideal clientele has an appreciation for art and the generational value of documenting their milestones through fine photography. When we aren’t behind the camera, I enjoy interior design, gardening, our menagerie of pets, and travel. Donny is an avid golfer and loves riding his Harley and spending time near the ocean. Ask us about capturing your destination wedding! Please note that we have over 31 five-star reviews on our west coast account—where we spent nearly 20 years. Please ask and I can direct you where to view those.
Reviews
Booked on short notice, and was amazing through out the entire process. Can’t thank them enough!
Such amazing people to work with!
Both were amazing and made our special day memorable for us
She and her husband were both very nice and professional, they arrived on time and were prepared when they got there She and her husband are good at moving around and not being in the way - I didn’t notice a single time that they were standing or walking in a way that felt intrusive on our wedding day Delivered wedding pics were not in order on folders making it hard to sort/compare/review them super bright light in the background of some of pics from reception which made them a lot less nice On the wedding day I felt like we got more and better instructions on how to pose for pics than during the engagement session but there were still times when I felt like we weren’t really hitting what I wanted and she didn’t take the time to make little adjustments like hand placements that I feel would have made a better photo, I wouldn’t have minded more feedback/instruction from her in general. I understand that it’s our wedding day and we might not want to be bossed around all day, but I would suggest initiating that discussion of what expectations both parties are comfortable with ahead of time so everyone is on the same page. When taking pics under our wedding arch she centered the bride but then that meant when other people were added to the shot ( groom, parents, etc) the group was off center and I thought those pics could have been nicer if the group would have been centered She produced crisp and clear photos with very nice colors - not sure which ones or how much they were edited but they look very pretty Sometimes days would go by before I received a response to a message. She said I could expect to receive our engagement photos early in the week and we did not get them until Friday of that week. our purchased package included a Photo Booth which was very cool and really fun for our guests but since our venue didn’t have consistent wi-fi they were unable to send the photos to themselves and I had to send them all out later individually ( just something to keep in mind and check with venue about if you’re purchasing this option) We got a wedding and engagement photo/ video package and got the wedding photos back in about 7/8 weeks. We got the engagement photos 25 days after we took them. The video we got back about 16 weeks later but they were hit with flooding during that time which probably delayed the delivery of that. Our video was just under 10 mins and it was absolutely incredible. It’s probably my favorite thing ever and it makes me cry ( that’s a good thing : ) Very reasonable price points, especially considering how far they are willing to travel The welcome guide is very thorough and helpful and answered so many questions ahead of time During the planning process which included many emails and a phone call we had created a google doc of timelines and shots we wanted for the wedding day and I made a list of really important people( about 10) I wanted to make sure I got pics with at the reception and it ended up not happening (i know that I did not initiate any of these pics but I was under the impression that she would take charge on that and I wish we would have clarified this ahead of time) - this is my biggest regret of the day I would rate the video 10/10, the pics 8/10, the overall experience of working with them 7.5/10 and the price 10/10
Vimana photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photos & video, we will forever cherish the memories they captured for us from our wedding day! They made us feel very comfortable on the day of, orchestrated our family pictures perfectly, and got back to us with our pics and video in a timely manner. Vimana photography definitely has our recommendation!
Maria was amazing capturing our wedding day! The photos came out beautiful and better than I could ever have hoped for. We loved working with her!!!
Maria and her husband did amazing for our wedding! Made us feel good throughout the whole night. Pictures turned out beautifully and would recommend them to all my future brides to be!
Working with Vimana Photography for our wedding was a good call. Their photos are gorgeous and we appreciate their hard work. The only thing to keep in mind for future customers is that they can't provide transportation to different photo locations, so make sure you have your own ride arranged. We had planned to go to a nearby spot for photos before the wedding, but we found out last second that we needed our own driver, which was not communicated upfront. I felt frustrated in that moment. Apart from that minor hiccup, we're glad we went with Vimana Photography. Thanks for being a part of our special day!
Maria & her husband are truly a blessing. It rained on our big day, we took pictures in an entirely different place than planned. I was so worried about my hair and makeup but somehow my pictures are sooooo good. My heart melted when I got them back. I truly feel like there are some vendors you miss when the event is over and maria is one of them! 🤣♥️
Maria and her husband, Donny, are the real deal! They are professional, patient and well, how do I put this, oh! THE BEST!! OUR WEDDING PICTURES WERE AMAZING AND THEY DELIVERED! We rented a place in North Carolina for our wedding with just close family and friends. We chose the property because it had the most amazing sceneries and it was aesthetically perfect for taking wedding pictures. But just because it was pretty didn't mean we were going to let just anyone document and take photos of our special day. My husband and I are so happy and lucky to have found Vimana Photography and trusted them with taking care of our wedding photos. Maria and Donny arrived on time and as soon as they got there, you could tell that Maria was immediatelly able to scope out the place. It was their first time there too but she knew where and what photos she was going to take of us - off the bat(that's how brilliant she is!). They were very patient and they captured every precious moment, from the pre-wedding prep all the way to the after party. A few things came up while we were taking the post ceremony Bride and Groom photos so my husband had to step away to handle it. Despite all the interruptions and delays, Maria and Donny showed us nothing short of kindness and professionalism! They even stayed longer than they should've and went above and beyond to give us the best experience on our special day. I can keep going on and on about them because that's just how awesome they are and how amazing our wedding pictures turned out. Last thing my husband and I want to say is this, in all honesty (just take a look at the pictures in this review) Vimana Photography surprised us and delivered way past our expectations. We have no regrets with choosing them and we have nothing but admiration for the dedication and passion they put into their craft. THANK YOU MARIA AND DONNY! We hope to see you and Donny again one day!
With uncertain times, my fiancé and I had to change our wedding venue to a new location with only a couple of months before our wedding. Maria not only made it happen but she was quick to respond. Her husband, Donny and her are efficient, personable and a great team. The thing that drew me to Maria was her portfolios. I appreciated her quality of work in capturing the moments as they were. She didn’t add harsh filters or make us strike a pose that felt unnatural. She has a very elegant and sophisticated eye and knew exactly how to capture moments to last a life time. I am so appreciative of their hard work, knowledge and the true artistry that went into these photographs.
My boyfriend and I were in search of a photographer to capture our dogs 10th birthday and we are so happy we found Vimana Photography. Maria did an amazing job at everything from suggesting the location, to outfits and how to be prepared for our photoshoot. She was quick to reply with any questions we had. We are so happy with the photos we received and we’ll definitely be using her in the future.
