Documentary Style & Intentional Photography
“Being intentional means making deliberate choices to reflect what is most important to us.”

Bold & Romantic
My signature editing style is bold, romantic, and true to life - not overly warm or sepia. With consistent luxurious tones. A little bit of grain, and a whole lot of detail. All galleries include a mix of color + black & white images.
nostalgia lover.
Our approach is documentary-style.
We absolutely guide you through portraits and important moments such as first looks, but we allow many moments to happen naturally, capturing your wedding day in an honest way. Prioritizing authenticity over a perfectly posed and curated image.
This means that your moments are captured the way that they are actually happening, and steering away from "creating" moments or faking things. No staged moments, only real memories.

Got fomo? Me too. You can add on coverage to cover all of your wedding moments and memories leading up to your special day!
carefree and romantic.
We would be a great fit for each other if the following describes your wedding day:
You want to remember your wedding day in an honest way - being intentional with your time, and documenting real memories.
You want your portraits to be a reflection of your true personalities as a couple.
You want to go with the flow of the day + and lean into REAL and RAW moments.
You love the idea of photos of the in between/fleeting moments - like the way the sky looked on your wedding day, your spouses hand on your lower back in a moment of affection, or your guests watching you from afar.
You care more about the authenticity of the day being captured, rather than having a perfectly posed and curated image.
Maybe you like the idea of your wedding photos looking like stills from a romance film. I like that idea too.
if that sounds like you, let’s chat more about working together.
client love
“I was lucky to connect with Marybeth Rajotte through a facebook bridal group when in search of a last minute photographer for my beach pandemic wedding. Let me first say that my family (both sides) can be VERY dramatic in regular times. Now we were pulling off a last minute wedding at my in-laws home, during a pandemic. It was drama. Marybeth jumped right in and got us organized so that she could capture the most beautiful sunset moments. She has an amazing energy and made us feel so at ease while she was shooting, giving us direction when needed, while allowing us to be ourselves.”
“My husband and I had the BEST time working with Marybeth. We felt so comfortable and at ease which made it easier to get authentic photos that we love. She is extremely professional and very organized. She walked us through every step of the process and kept the mood light and fun. The results were just stunning. Every photo more striking than the next - she truly has an eye for detail. We are so happy with our experience and look forward to working with her in the future!”
“I don’t know where to start because I do not have a single criticism of Marybeth or the craftsmanship in her photos she puts out. To start, out of every vendor we worked with, Marybeth was by far the most attentive and interactive. I was never having to hunt her down for questions and she was practically getting to me before with answers to questions I didn’t know I needed answered. As for photos, our wedding was less than a week ago and I couldn’t even wait to get back from our honeymoon to write a review! We absolutely can’t stop looking at and taking about the photos we already have gotten back (SO quick might I add!!). They are so flawless and we can’t wait to get back the rest because we know they are going to be absolute perfection. Marybeth and second shooter for our wedding Khadesia were beyond amazing and fun to work with. Marybeth knew exactly how to make us feel comfortable and got the most amazing photos that truly captured all the love to be had on our day. It was low stress, and let me tell you, as someone who has fairly low confidence and can be extremely awkward, she made me feel effortlessly beautiful the whole day. She was supportive in doing what we wanted as a couple even when the venue was a tad pushy toward some things we weren’t super keen on doing photo wise. Even on a gloomy kind of rainy day, she made the best of it and our pictures came out indescribable. If you’re into capturing the natural essence of you and your partner instead of a million ultra posed pics, you can’t go wrong with Marybeth. I just wish words could truly justify how impressed and in love we are with her!” - Krysta F.
