The Rajotte Photo Experience - Destination Documentary + Editorial Wedding Photographer
My name is Marybeth, and I am a New York based documentary wedding & elopement photographer. I’ll travel pretty much anywhere for your big day.
I’m a coffee obsessed Disney adult…and lover of all things Marvel. Based in both New York and North Florida, I spend a lot of time hanging with my pups and husband in our family’s Adirondack cabin, or binge watching the latest series on Disney plus.
When I’m not shooting your session, wedding, or in the editing cave, you can find me: traveling, eating tacos, heading to the movie theatre for the newest marvel movie. Occasionally living my best life at Disney World, too. My parents live in Jacksonville, Florida - so I’m lucky enough to be spend plenty of time with them in the sunshine state. You can check out my travel diary here!
I love shooting in exciting new places and will travel anywhere for your wedding day!
As a child, my favorite "toy" was a Polaroid camera, sparking a passion in me that has become the driving force behind my work. I aim to document your fleeting moments and memories in a nostalgic and storytelling way - allowing you to relive the your wedding memories for years to come.
In June 2021, I became the bride, experiencing the magic of an intimate backyard wedding. I'm passionate about working with clients who prioritize creating real memories over the perfect curated Instagram photo. I’m all about being intentional with time - creating a low-stress environment, and allowing space for genuine moments to unfold.
A Seamless & Personalized Experience
My team and I go beyond being your wedding photographers - we’re your partners in crafting your DREAM wedding experience. Through questionnaires and consult calls, we collaborate to build the timeline of your dream wedding. Every step of the way, I am here for YOU, providing a seamless and personalized wedding experience. Every detail matters to me. I take the time to truly get to know YOU - your comfort level, insecurities, and favorite features. Because capturing you in an authentic way is paramount, I want you to look and feel like your best self on your wedding day.
As documentary-style wedding photographers, our focus is on capturing the in-between moments that you'll want to remember forever. Whether it's the subtle touch of your spouse's hand or the glances exchanged between guests, I focus on capturing the authenticity of your love story.
More Than Just Candid Shots
The terms “documentary-style” and “candid” are often misconstrued. It's not just about photos that feel less posed and more natural. Documentary style means capturing the day as it truly happens, without directing every single moment. It means being a fly on the wall, waiting for those fleeting moments to unfold organically.
Documentary style is about slowing down, enjoying the company of your loved ones, and letting your photographer capture the real and raw moments. It means not stepping in when the bride wants to hold her own train and avoiding rigid shot lists in favor of intentional timeline planning.
Your Love Captured on 35mm Film
I'm thrilled to share my love for film photography with my clients. Film captures nostalgic, fun images of your wedding day, perfect for sharing on social media or printing in small formats. It adds a unique touch to your memories, making each moment more special.
Film photos are delivered digitally in your online gallery, with key moments focused on digitally. The limited number of shots with film makes each moment more precious, adding a touch of magic to your wedding memories.
Investment & Experience
Your wedding photos are the only tangible piece of your wedding memories, - hire someone who provides photographs that invoke a feeling of nostalgia.
All of our packages include a professionally edited online gallery, an experienced second shooter, an exclusive wedding planning guide, online print shop, printing rights, custom timeline planning, and outfit/location/vendor recommendation guides.
My signature editing style is bold, romantic, and true to color, with consistent luxurious tones.
In choosing Rajotte Photography and Media, you're not just hiring a photographer; you're gaining a storytelling partner dedicated to preserving the magic of your love story. Let's take on this journey of wedding planning together.
