Hi, my name is
Mariette
Honest Love,
Timeless Art
I’m a coffee enthusiast, wife, mom of three, and photographer who traded nursing shifts for goldenhour. I was born in the Philippines, raised in California, and somehow found my way to South Georgia — where slow mornings, sweet tea, and small-town sunsets feel like home.
Photography wasn’t always the plan. In fact, it found me in the middle of chasing kids, juggling Cardiology RN shifts, and realizing I wanted to shift into a different pace and season of life.
I wanted to see people — and help them feel truly seen, too.
Somewhere between toddler snacks, late-night editing, and whispering breath prayers over a growing business, it clicked:
people are craving real, honest moments just as much as I am.
That’s what MGP is built on.
Not perfection. Not stiff posing. Not rushing through a checklist.
But presence — slowing down enough to notice the fleeting glances, the way hands find each other, the breath you take before walking down the aisle.
I’m here to serve you well, notice the tiny moments that matter, and help you actually enjoy the experience instead of rushing through it. I’ll fix your boutonnière, hype you up, hand you a tissue if you cry, and remind you to breathe when things get busy.
My nursing background taught me to anticipate instead of react, to care deeply, and to show up fully — and those things shape how I photograph every single session.
If you’re looking for photos that feel warm, intentional, honest, and rooted in the story God is writing in your life — I’m your girl.
Let’s create something beautiful together.
Honest Love, Timeless Art
