your life's most precious moments, captured with love + intention
the jocelyn mariah photography experience
A wedding is a once in a lifetime event. There’s no second chance for me to capture your day, something that never leaves my mind.
I feel it’s incredibly important for me to document the day as things naturally unfold, this isn’t a production, no one is acting. I will move, clean off, wipe down, and change anything in order to make sure things are captured as beautifully as possible, but authenticity is priority to me. Real memories, not staged moments.
my philosophy
driven by a genuine passion for capturing love
I’m not loud, my voice remains steady and calm in hopes to be a constant flow of tranquility throughout your day. I’ll carry bags, fix your eyelashes, touch up your lipstick, hold your veil, dry off your bridesmaids flowers, bustle your dress and anything else I can to make sure your day runs impeccably smooth.
But I’m not quiet either. I’ll be on that dance floor dancing and singing right alongside you while I snap away. I’ll chat with your grandma as she reminisces you as a little one. I’m immersed in your day in a way that is not intrusive but allows me to get a full range of images that feel incredibly authentic, as if experienced through the eyes of one of your guests. I enjoy the day just as much as you, because truly, I enjoy what I do.
I've been apart of the wedding industry in some capacity for my entire life. I love the chaos, the joy, the tears, and the uniqueness each couple brings colliding their two worlds together. No matter how many weddings I am part of, the honor of capturing you day is a feeling beyond compare.

“Jocelyn was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day! You will not regret hiring her and her team! She made us feel so comfortable during our engagement session and perfectly captured our personalities. She was even better on our wedding day! She was prompt, calm, creative, able to keep us on schedule and was just everything we needed. We will most certainly have Jocelyn photograph the next chapters of our life.”

“Jocelyn is amazing to work with! I am a wedding planner and worked with Jocelyn at a recent wedding. She helped keep our timeline on track, helped give direction to our couple while making them feel comfortable taking photos, and was overall so wonderful and fun to work with. I highly recommend her as your wedding photographer!!”

It's all in the details
Yes! I am fully insured and am happy to provide proof of insurance should your venue require it. I bring back up camera bodies, lenses, memory cards, and everything else that is essential to get through a wedding day.
Are you insured? Do you bring back-up gear?
My style is a bit bright, and a bit bold. I am for a true to life edit but I don't shy away from darker lit moments, and appreciate clean light. I love lots of color, but I adore a good black and white where the emotion is the highlight. I lean towards lifestyle and fun posing with a hint of traditional elements. Weddings allow me to mix all of that while also documenting authentic in between candid moments alongside the posed portraits and planned details.
What is your photography style?
Most of my couples reserve their date between 8-18 months, I recommend reaching out as soon as you have your date set. The sooner the better especially with popular dates.
How far ahead should we book?
I'm based in Boston, Massachusetts but love to travel any and everywhere for weddings. Shoot me an email and we’ll go over details as every travel quote is customized.
