From the very start, photography was never just about the image for MBASKEVITS OÜ—it was about the emotion, the atmosphere, and the life behind each frame. Born and based in Estonia, she pursued formal education in Scotland. There, surrounded by varied light, culture, and artistry, she learned both technique and heart. Working with some of the finest wedding photographers, she developed what would become her signature blend: “clean colors and timeless classics.”
With ten years behind the viewfinder, Maria has had time to refine her vision, discover her voice, and test what endures. She describes her style simply: timeless classics. It’s a style that refuses to chase trends, but instead – anchors itself in feeling. For her, timeless photography means images that speak decades later with the same clarity.
Her aesthetic is grounded in honesty. “Photography, for me, is an art of capturing emotions, atmosphere, and the important moments of life.”
Cameras: Nikon Z 6II, Nikon D780
Lenses: Sigma and Nikkor (24-70mm, 35mm, 85mm)
Lighting: Godox flashes
Though her toolkit is top-tier, Maria emphasizes that gear exists to support—not overshadow—the story. The real priority is connection, genuine expression, and what truly matters to the couple.
Editing for Maria is a subtle art. She works carefully with color and exposure editing, skin retouching, sharpening what was already meaningful without turning it into something it wasn’t. “My goal is to enhance what was already there, not to change it.” The finish is polished but pure—each photo a reflection of the real mood on the day.
From the first meeting to the final gallery, Maria sees the process as collaboration. She begins by asking about what drives her clients: what they want to feel, which moments mean most, and what inspirations they bring. “For me, it’s not just about creating beautiful images, but about understanding what truly matters to my client.”
“On a meeting we discuss the whole timeline, distance, people count and special requests.
What gives Maria her greatest satisfaction are the memories she helps preserve. “Creating memorable memories.” It’s more than a job—it’s witnessing a moment become forever. The laughter during vows, the subtle glance, the quiet seconds after the chaos; those are treasures.
Be brave.
For clients preparing for sessions, she urges simplicity and well-being: sleep well the night before; “not drinking too much water the night before the big event.” These small, practical steps can make a big difference in comfort and confidence when the shutter opens.
Maria’s work with MBASKEVITS OÜ demonstrates that when photography is rooted in emotion and crafted with care, it transcends time. Clean colours, timeless composition, and a deep respect for the people in front of the camera—they all contribute to images that are as meaningful years from now as they are today.
“Photography, for me, is an art of capturing emotions, atmosphere, and the important moments of life.” In her hands, weddings become legacies, family portraits become stories, and each shot becomes a reminder of what truly endures.
