So brilliant

We are on our honeymoon and seeing our photos made it even better.

They are so brilliant and made me cry in all the good ways. They are just the best memories and I can’t wait to share them. We can’t believe how lucky we are that you captured our day so well.

We’ll speak to you when we get back.

Thanks you absolute legend,

North London - Katherine & Lev

Maria was the first person we spoke to last year, and nobody came close to her charisma, attention to detail and sense of humour. She was delighted when we initially told her about our day and all of the traditions that would be taking place. We loved the photo books and the way everyone looked so happy and relaxed... Just what we were aiming for. We did go and see others, but stopped looking after 20 minutes of speaking to other photographers, and decided to have a coffee and made the decision then and there to ask Maria. Maria's genuine delight when we returned and asked if she would work with us for our big fat Greek/Russian wedding was confirmation that we had made the right choice. With our bookings confirmed, we just had to wait for the day to arrive. Leading up to it, we had phone and Skype calls to sort out what kind of shots we wanted, who we wanted them with, but always full of laughter. Our pre wedding shoot was like a rehearsal for the big day, and confirmed to us that we had chosen the most amazing person. Morning of the wedding and chaos ensues. Maria was my rock and moral support. Giving me subtle 'it's ok' looks from behind the camera. Priceless tips and advice that is gold dust to a bride, especially with a mad family! Maria's experience and talent knows no bounds. We are so pleased that we chose her, and cannot recommend her high enough. She captures everything you would hope to remember and surprises you with things you didn't even realise happened. Many people didn't even realise they were in a shot, with her perfectly mastered technique. All of our guests said that from the photos seeping through on social media, they were really excited to see the rest of them. Best choice we made throughout the whole wedding planning period... Maria Assia. Thank you for capturing our day. Words cannot express our gratitude, in any language! In you, we have found a wonderful person, who just so happens to be the photographer we will always come back to. Thank you. Katherine & Lev xx

The Black Forest - Sascha & Steffen

Maria made our photo shoot truly a very special experience - fun and relaxed, natural, a moment just for us. Apart from being very professional in her communication beforehand we had a lovely time on the day with her finding just the right places to take a picture.

She captured our special bond in wonderful pictures I love looking at and look forward to our next shoot, which we are certain to book again with her.

Two Temple Place - Hannah & Mike

Maria was our amazing photographer at our wedding last May in London. We were really impressed with how she kept in constant communication with us in the run up to the wedding and offered to have several Skype sessions to talk through details. On the wedding day itself, she was so professional and friendly and really made us feel at ease. We love our photos so much and they are a fantastic mix of natural 'documentary' style and breathtaking couple shots which are really out of this world incredible! She also put together a photo montage video of our photos which is AMAZING and I totally love and our digital photos on USB arrived in a beautifully carved memory box, which was so unexpected. Thank you, Maria. We love our photos so much and are so grateful to you! H&M xx

London - Stephanie

Maria came to our rescue when our original photographer (through no fault of their own) was not able to photograph our wedding, and we are so glad she did. I met her at a wedding fair and she was so warm and friendly. She helped us choose a great spot for our engagement shoot, and made sure we felt comfortable with being photographed. On our wedding day it was great to have her there, taking photos of all the women getting ready without getting in the way at all, and joining in with the jokes and laughter (expertly capturing a few teary moments!). Maria was friendly and professional throughout the day, and her and her assistant did a fantastic job of capturing all the best moments.
Our wedding photos arrived on a beautiful carved wooden USB stick, inside a carved wooden box. Maria thinks of the smallest detail and made everything special.

Hedingham Castle - Lauren & Mat

Maria, what an incredible, talented photographer you are.

We first met Maria at a wedding fair and I instantly fell in love with her work- we booked her there and then and there hasn't been a second I've doubted our decision. Her professionalism and communication throughout the build up to the day was faultless and our engagement shoot was a fab pre-run before the big day.

Flash forward a few months after and it's the wedding day. Maria came for the bridal prep and was a friendly support throughout the morning-calming, friendly and yet totally professional. She effortlessly captures those 'moments' without even noticing she's there.

From the ceremony through to the reception, she was a superstar. Looking through our photos, I know we made the best decision with Maria. She's an artist, she excels at her work and I know we'll work with her again. Thank you Maria, we are so grateful for your hard work and I know we'll look at our album for years and years to come with a huge smile on our face.

The Hurlingham Club - Sophie & Nat

Maria photographed my wedding in the summer of 2015, we heard about her from my brother in law, where she was the photographer at his wedding. It was great to meet Maria before the wedding at the engagement pictures, which are included in the price, where we could discuss the type of wedding we were having and what we wanted from the pictures. She was incredible helpful and warm, and really made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. On the day she worked incredible had to get all the pictures we wanted. The pictures them selves turned out beautifully and I am so happy that we decided to have Maria do the picture on our wedding day. My sister has even booked Maria to do the pictures at her wedding next summer

Nonsuch Mansion - Jasmin & Andy

Maria was great – an understanding and kind person before the wedding, and warm and professional with all our guests on the day. Things got late at our wedding due to a medical problem with one of our guests, and she very kindly hung on until our first dance and beyond.

Best of all, the results are amazing. Maria took loads of candid shots of all our guests milling about and chatting and laughing, which look really natural and fun. She also captured the details of the wedding and loads scenes that we had missed on the day.

And she did a great job when it came to the more formal shots of my husband and I, too – nothing too cheesy, great backdrops, and it didn’t take ages on the day. It’s all added up to a collection of great memories.

We’ve had a friend book her as a direct result of seeing our wedding photos - there’s not much higher recommendation than that! I wouldn’t hesitate in booking her for any photographic job in future.

Thanks Maria!

Sir Christopher Wren Hotel, Windsor - Amy & Yun

Maria was fantastic! Her pictures were amazing. She was very approachable, easy to work with, friendly, flexible and very professional. She made the photography fun, everything went to plan and arrived on time or earlier. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

Hurlingham Club/South of France - Bryony & Charlie

We were fortunate enough not only to have Maria to photograph our London wedding celebrations but also our second wedding celebration in the South of France. She really did the most incredible job on both occasions. She really made sure that she took the time to understand what we wanted and she captured both days perfectly. Her attention to detail in every shot we saw is amazing and she is so clever at reflecting the mood and spirit of the day. She genuinely has the ability of making photos come to life - a unique and incredible talent. She also had the genius skill of capturing us when relaxed but still looking good. We were also really impressed with the way she made us relax during both of the days. She really went above and beyond the call of a photographer's remit and we wouldn't have had anyone else. Thank you so much Maria. We could not be more grateful x

West Reservoir Centre - Elizabeth & Daniel

We spent a long time looking for a photographer for our wedding, and are so happy that we went with Maria. Her warm & friendly attitude helped to calm our nerves for the photos on our special day, and we really appreciated the pre-wedding shoot and Skype chats.

Needless to say, we’re so happy with the images she captured. The photos are a wonderful mix, beautifully documenting key parts of our day, capturing small intimate moments during the ceremony and, of course, the energy & fun of the reception.

We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer for their big day.
