Imagine saying "I do" in a way that feels authentically, beautifully, and uniquely you. If you're dreaming of an intimate wedding experience that goes beyond a quick courthouse visit, but a multi-day trek through extreme wilderness isn't quite your style, you've found your perfect match.
“WE ARE YOUR PERFECT PARTNERS”
Your elopement should be an unforgettable adventure tailored precisely to your love story. For us, adventure isn't just about scaling epic peaks; it's about crafting an experience centered around what truly lights you up as a couple. Whether that's exploring charming coastal towns, discovering a hidden gem of a vineyard, or sharing a heartfelt ceremony amidst stunning, accessible natural beauty, I specialize in charmingly intimate elopements that blend breathtaking backdrops with sophisticated touches.
With Mariela Campbell Photography, you won't just get incredible photos; you'll get an entire experience focused on making your day effortless, joyful, and deeply meaningful. We'll capture every cherished moment with artistry and authenticity, ensuring your elopement perfectly reflects who you are.

Why We’re Different

“Candidly, Deliberately with a hint of Editorial”
Beyond the Summit, Into Your Story
We specialize in helping you feel authentic in front of the camera, even if you’re camera-shy. Our laid-back, happy, and calming presence on your wedding day fosters a sense of ease. We capture the essence of who you are, whether you’re an open feeler, a joyful dancer, an emotional crier, a playful goof, or someone in between. We aim to document the day as it unfolds naturally, showcasing your guests celebrating in their candid moments. We focus on all the real, raw, and emotional experiences that make each wedding day unique, and add a little touch of Editorial throughout your experience!
Why We're Different From Most "Adventure" Elopement Photographers
Many "adventure" photographers focus on scaling peaks and epic, staged shots. While those are beautiful, and I’m all for it! True adventure lies in authentic connection and unforgettable experiences tailored to your interests. Think less extreme mountaineering, more breathtaking coastal vows, charming vineyard celebrations, or heartfelt exchanges in serene natural settings. We're here to guide you through an effortlessly beautiful day, allowing you to simply be yourselves.

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, and I now have a collective of talented artists, some of whom I've trained and mentored, and others who have grown alongside me. Together, we capture love stories with honesty, documenting real-life celebrations in a candid, photojournalistic style with a hint of editorial.
