Maria Rão Photographer

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Maria on numerous weddings and events, and she is truly one of the best photographers in Marrakech.

As a wedding planner, it’s rare to find someone who is not only exceptionally talented, but also consistently professional, reliable, and lovely to work with.

Maria has the ability to capture the emotion, energy, and beauty of every celebration. Her eye for detail is great, and her images always feel effortless and elegant. I always know I can trust her to deliver timeless photographs.

I couldn’t recommend her more.

Maria is not merely a photographer, she is an artist with an extraordinary eye and an unparalleled instinct for beauty. When our planner presented over twenty photographers for our destination wedding in Marrakesh, I only needed to see Maria’s work once to know she was the one. Her imagery has a signature elegance that can’t be imitated.

From our first meeting in Marrakesh, Maria understood my vision with perfect clarity, refined, editorial, timeless. She didn’t just meet that vision, she transcended it. After a year of planning, I now have a collection of images that allow me to relive the magic with the same emotion and intensity as the day itself.

Maria’s attention to detail is exquisite. She captures people in their most flattering, authentic light. Not only the bride and groom but every guest, every expression, every fleeting moment. The photographs were so exceptional that I found myself sending them to our guests before I could even begin designing the album.

What Maria offers is far beyond traditional wedding photography. She has the rare ability to translate emotion into art, to frame each moment with a cinematic elegance that feels both intimate and iconic. These may truly be the most beautiful photographs ever taken of me, until I have the privilege of booking her again.

On the wedding day, Maria arrived with intention and artistry. She came prepared with thoughtful references, yet moved with effortless fluidity, capturing scenes even in the moments we didn’t realize she was watching. Her presence is calming, her direction precise and her professionalism flawless.

If you are fortunate enough to secure Maria for your wedding, you are placing your most meaningful memories in the hands of a master. She elevates every moment, making the experience feel seamless while producing work that belongs on the pages of Vogue.

Our wedding photos are not just images, they are editorial masterpieces and one of the greatest treasures from our celebration.

As the organizer and founder of MONSIEUR MADAME Wedding, I can say without hesitation that Maria is truly exceptional. I’ve had the pleasure of working with her several times, and every single time has been a complete success. She is incredibly talented, with a style that is entirely her own — refined, elegant, and unmistakable.

Our industry, especially in weddings, leaves absolutely no room for mistakes. On the wedding day, we don’t get to be sick, tired, or even slightly off. And I witnessed this firsthand with Maria: on a day when she was exhausted and not feeling well, she still rose to the challenge. She pushed through, fought with determination, and delivered not only an extraordinary performance for the couple, but images strong enough to be submitted to major competitions.

Bravo, Maria — and keep going. Your dedication and artistry inspire us all.

Following months of searching for a wedding photographer, Maria's work immediately stood out to us and we are beyond thrilled with our choice. Her photography style is genuine, luminous, and romantic, fitting perfectly with our vision. Maria consistently went above and beyond to ensure that she captured every detail we had dreamed of. I cannot speak highly enough of her and would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a talented photographer.
