This is about more than beautiful imagery — it’s about how the day feels when you look back on it.
Marais approaches each celebration with care and intention, allowing space for moments to unfold naturally while documenting the atmosphere, emotion, and connection that make your story uniquely yours.
I’m a wedding, elopement, and lifestyle photographer based out of Calgary, Alberta and I am passionate about documenting love both near and far.
My work is rooted in connection, emotion, and the moments that unfold naturally. I’m here for the big, heart-racing memories, the quiet in-betweens, and everything that makes your story uniquely yours.
If you’re drawn to honest storytelling and images that feel like you, you’re in the right place. Show up as yourself and I'll take care of the rest.

We were worried about feeling awkward in front of the camera, but that never happened. Most of the time, we forgot photos were even being taken. The day moved exactly how it was supposed to, and somehow every moment we cared about was there when we looked back.
The images feel like us — relaxed, honest, and completely unposed. We wouldn’t change a thing.
— Isabelle & Lucas.

"Nothing ever felt forced"
From the first image to the last, the gallery felt like our entire day captured perfectly. The photos are fun, emotional, and full of movement — nothing feels stiff or posed.
Marais documented everything in a way that feels effortless and true to how our wedding actually felt. We love every single photo and keep finding new favorites.

"Absolutely blown away by our photos"
Marais captured everything exactly how it felt — the energy, the movement, the little moments we didn’t even notice on the day. Nothing feels stiff or overdone. Every photo feels natural and alive.
It’s like getting to relive our wedding over and over again. We’re completely obsessed with the gallery.
