HELLO AND WELCOME
⎮
WE ARE SO GLAD YOU ARE HERE
We are a husband-and-wife wedding photography and video team traveling throughout California and beyond for “Elopements & Weddings.”
We’re a team—we move together effortlessly, in sync. Our silence speaks volumes, and when we do chime in, it’s with encouragement, guidance, and a little fun to keep things light. We know how to bring out the best in each other, which means your day flows smoothly and naturally.
I’m there capturing all those real, candid moments through photos. Demetris is right by my side, filming all the in-between magic and movement. We balance, fill in each other’s gaps, and bring out the absolute best in one another. So you get a seamless, relaxed, and super fun experience from start to finish.
OUR COLLECTIVE TEAM
We are a wedding photography collective based in Riverside, CA, traveling throughout California and beyond. Our team focuses on capturing authentic, candid moments. We document weddings through photos and video, steering clear of the cliche and cheesy.
We embrace all types of weddings, from nontraditional elopements to big celebrations. We aim to capture each day as it unfolds, honoring every identity, culture, and tradition in our unique candid style.

WHO ARE WE
⎮
I am Mariela - founder and creative director of MCP.
I feel most alive when capturing extraordinary moments from a photojournalist’s perspective. When you invite me to document your story, you trust me to see it through a lens shaped by my heart and soul. I immerse myself fully in every experience, letting each moment leave its mark on me, and every lesson shapes my journey. It’s more than photography—it’s about genuinely connecting with your story and preserving it in a way that feels as genuine as it is unforgettable.
⎮
REALLY THOUGH?
I started over 15 years ago as a solo passion. My husband (pictured) is my behind-the-scenes helper, marketing specialist, director, and videographer. Fast forward, I now have a collective of talented artists. Together, we capture love stories with honesty, documenting real-life celebrations in a candid, documentary style.
