Get to knOw me, your photographer

I’m Marcella, the creative force behind Marcella Photography. What I love the most about photography is being able to capture unique and irreplaceable moments of someone’s life. I take this talent and use it to capture the priceless love story of your wedding day. From the intimate moment of getting-ready, to the fun and joy of celebrating with family and friends, I document every detail so you are able to remember this special day years from now.

Over the years, I have developed a style that is clean, timeless, and true to color. I’m drawn to photograph using natural light but I’m experienced in using artificial light as well. I feel blessed and grateful to do what I love: photographing people and important milestones helping them create images that become irreplaceable memories.

Since my early beginnings as a wedding photographer in my home country, I have now relocated my business to Las Vegas, accumulating more than 10 years of experience. Yours can be next!

HeyThere!

The experience you have on your wedding day means everything. And when booking me as your wedding photographer, I feel that quality should be equally as paramount as the experience when working together.

I want you to be smiling, laughing, and feeling at ease throughout the entire process.  I want you to trust in me 100%, and I want us to be friends. I'll be celebrating with you every step of the way.

The experience is so important as well for personal reasons as well. After all, your wedding photographer is the one person who will by your side more than any other person on your wedding day (other than your husband/wife, of course)! So, hiring a photographer who has not only the style of photography you are wanting to cherish forever, but also a fun, outgoing attitude is so important - and that's exactly what you get with me.

And not to worry - I will coach every couple through their portrait session and I will help you keep on track with your schedule on your wedding day. Simply, we will have so much FUN together with everything along the way.  And that's the way it should be.

Let's have fun!

I loved the way Marcella worked with us. She is a person that is devoted to each project and enjoys it to the fullest, which creates confidence in her work and herself. Her photographs have a good mix of boldness, class, personality and a traditional touch. Thanks to Marcella, we have beautiful wedding pictures that allows us to live our wedding day  again and again.

Marcella and her assistant were great in working with us for photos both at our hotel and then various locations before the wedding. She had some great ideas for first look locations at our hotel and they were even better than we'd hoped. She was super responsive and made sure we got all the shots we wanted, including a huge group shot of all our friends at the reception.

Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked

Q: How long have you been a photographer?

A: I grabbed my first camera when I was 4 years old and shot my first wedding at 17. But it wasn't until I was studying my Bachelors in Communications that I started working as a second shooter for other photographers. So, we're talking 15+ years now as a profession.

Q: Do I need a second photographer?

A: Honestly, it comes down to a budget question. Unlimited budget - then sure, you'll get more beautiful photos. Personally, I say no --- unless you have more than 200 guests AND you want specific focus on them and/or you want the exact same moment captured from two different angles OR if you have a really large wedding venue that would be difficult to move between two areas quickly. Otherwise, I have personally photographed most of my weddings completely solo and every single couple I have ever worked with has been 100% happy. 

Q: Do I need an engagement session?

A: That totally depends on your needs. You can use the photos for your save-the-dates, invitations, website registries, guest books, framed prints for your guest table, bar, and your house... and of course Facebook & Instagram! Plus, it's a way for you to get a little practice in front of the camera before your big day and it gives us an opportunity to get to know each other. :) Personally, I highly recommend it. And it's also a really great way to add to your experience as an engaged couple. Make the most of it! 

Q: What kind of equipment do you use?

A: This might start getting a bit technical, but I personally use a Mirrorless Nikon z6 with zoom lenses a 24-70mm and a 70-200mm. Both are on me most of the time throughout your wedding day. 

Q: Do you offer any albums, prints, canvases, guest books, etc?

A: Totally! Everything that you are planning for your wedding is temporary except for your wedding photos that will become a legacy for your family's next generations. I offer beautiful heirloom albums and canvases from a high quality photo lab in Italy.  The design and selection of your album and prints can be done through your online gallery that you will receive after your wedding. 

Q: Do you offer payment plans?

A: Yes, I do! Traditional payments are $1,000 due at the time of booking (within a week) and the final payment is due 30 days prior to your wedding day. But, if you wanted to do the payment plan, I can stretch it into equal 1/3's or 1/4's if that works best for you. Just let me know what you prefer, and I will make it happen. It's that easy.

Q: God forbid, what happens if you aren't able to make it to our big day?

In the super unlikely event that I am too ill, injured, or there's some other emergency, I have a list of colleagues that I can call on to replace me that have similar styles of photography & editing.  You're in good hands. I promise.

Q: What does elopements and micro weddings include?

A: Elopements include to 2 hours of coverage. This would give us enough time to capture your ceremony and do some portraits after. Micro weddings are up to 4 hours and a maximum of 50 guests. Two weeks after your wedding you would have access to an online gallery to download the digital photos with print release.

Q: How do I book you for my wedding day?

A: Love that question the most! To book me for your special day, simply let me know if you want the Deluxe Collection or what you want included in your custom collection: 1) Number of hours of coverage, 2) Engagement session (optional), 3) Second photographer or none (optional), and 4) What payment plan option works best for you.
