About Maya Papaya Pictures

Maya

Owner

So here's the tea... I'm a wise-cracking, extroverted Capricorn who excels at corralling your rowdy family for photos and charming Aunt Carol, the self-deemed professional iPad photographer. Ever since I was little, huddled on the couch with my five siblings rewatching The Lion King, I knew that I wanted to be a storyteller. Growing up in a creative household, I studied a wide range of arts before settling on filmmaking. I envisioned in my head that I would be the next Spielberg, but after shooting my first wedding in 2013 all my plans changed.

I first started in this industry as a filmmaker and transitioned to doing weddings after shooting my first one in 2013. Because of my background, I approach each wedding as if it were a film and make sure your photos have the best lighting, angles and that you and your partner feel comfortable being in front of the camera.

  • A perfect day

    This was possibly the happiest day of our lives. We're glad we trusted Maya. This lady worked HARD and put in the entire day and then some. She really put in 110%. Not only did she ensure the highest quality, she settled for nothing less than the best. She is an outright expert with the camera, and knows exactly how to not only compose the perfect shot but to make it a work of art as well. Furthermore, any nerves we had about making sure the day went off right were instantly quashed by her wonderful energy and humor which really made the most special day even more special. Folks, don't leave the most special day in our lives up to chance. Make it easy on yourselves, hire Maya. Her work speaks for itself.

    Maya was an absolute gem to work with. Even prior to officially picking a venue that worked closely with Maya, she was willing to answer my questions and even helped provide pros and cons to different months to pick a date based on our vision. We then got to meet her for engagement pictures. She made the process so smooth and put us at ease, also helped navigate the “what do I do with my hands.” As our wedding was approaching, we were able to get on a couple of zoom calls to be sure we had all the groups of pictures we wanted planned ahead (when you have a big family this was SUPER helpful to keep things organized and not miss anyone). Then came wedding day, wow, Maya and her assistant Courtney were just wonderful. Organized and supportive all along the way. She kept open communication with the coordinator and DJ at all times too so we were all on the same page.They laughed with us, cried with us, and danced with us. My friends and family kept mentioning what a delight they both were as well. I would recommend Maya 1000 times over. She is kind, easy going, makes everyone feel comfortable, and just a bright light that shines. Oh and did I mention her photos come out so stunning?! Our pictures are everything we could’ve ever hoped for. Thank you for everything!

    Maya Papaya Pictures was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding & engagement session. Her communication was prompt, and they truly listened to our wants and needs, responding quickly to any questions or concerns. The quality of their work exceeded our expectations - it was of the highest caliber. On the day of our wedding, Maya & Courtney helped calm the nerves of the chaotic day and worked seamlessly with our two huge and intrusive families to capture beautiful photos. We could not be happier with the memories they helped create for us. We can not wait to use Maya for any photo necessities we might need!

    Maya was my wedding photographer at my wedding in Flagstaff, AZ at Aldea Wedding in the Woods and she was PHENOMENAL. Her energy is out of this world & you cannot help but smile and laugh around her. She quickly feels like family. Not only does she have the most insanely wonderful personality that brightens the room but her photos she took are STUNNING! She really has such an eye for capturing the perfect moments and the quality and colors are just perfect. Myself, my now husband, and friends and family were just in awe when I showed them. I just got married two days ago and the day after my wedding she sent me sneak peek photos and there were SO many - I couldn’t believe how fast the turnaround was. And there’s more photos to come! Everything was just stunning I can’t rave about her enough. You need to hire Maya!!!! Also my friends and family couldn’t stop talking about how fun she was. We love you Maya you are amazing!!!
