Marriage is such a beautiful gift given by God. The joining of two individuals with different backgrounds, life experiences, and more as one flesh is absolutely one of the most profound experiences a human can have here on this earth. Mariah + Andrew are a wife and husband photography team, based in the Atlanta area, who are reminded of the precious vows that they made to each other in 2017 for every wedding in which they have the opportunity to capture timeless memories. Mariah + Andrew also share two creative and loving children ages 5 and 1.

Andrew (formerly known as Loyall Hart) has been a photographer for 15 years, formerly a Sales Representative with AT&T. He transitioned into photography after his uncle began teaching him about his cameras and Andrew fell in love with the technical side of photography from aperture, composition, and more. Andrew geeks out about making sure photos have the perfect lighting, composition (background, overall aesthetic, and details). You can rest assured that your photos, and videos, will be breathtaking when he's behind the lens. Mariah spent a decade working on globally distributed teams, as a software engineer and product manager at companies like Boeing, Microsoft, and Google, where she spent some of her time building and designing products for people with disabilities. This enabled her to think outside of the box, and focus on creating the best experiences for the person and their specific needs rather than just creating products or providing services to make money. She also acquired skills around creating a vision, and repeatable processes that are tried and true. You can depend on her for creating a superb experience that is personal, custom, and crisp. Mariah has a creative eye for seeing photos, video, and overall creative direction coming together by creating shot lists, and skits to ensure a clean and seemless shoot. Mariah + Andrew deeply care about making your wedding one of the best days of your life.Our team has served over 100 couples for 15+ years. We hope to serve you and your life partner through this incredible journey.

Our team has captured memories for weddings in the United States (ATL, DC, Dallas, TX, Austin, TX, Birmingham, AL), Japan, Germany, and more, so if you are not based in the Atlanta area, we still may be the perfect team for you. As a military child, Mariah learned how to adapt and embrace any culture and love on them as her own sisters, friends, aunties, and more. We can't wait to love on you too.
