Margarita did the photos to our court house ceremony and wedding dinner. She was great from the time I reached out, was on time for both events and was great about capturing candid moments as well as more formal photos. The photos turned out beautiful!

Margarita was very accommodating and quick to respond when we reached out to her to photograph our 50th anniversary party. Our venue was small, but she worked around the tightness of the room. She was able to photograph our family and friends in both a posed and random pictures throughout the time allocated per our contract. We now have great memories to look upon in celebration of our 50th anniversary. thank you, Margarita.

Working with Marrgostep Photography was an incredible experience for my proposal! Very responsive, showed up to the event early, did a great job directing us on all of the different poses, and the photos turned out amazing! Would recommend to anyone looking for a photographer for a proposal or similar event!

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    My pricing reflects the time, care, and attention I put into every session — from preparation and shooting to editing and delivery. A non-refundable deposit is required to secure your date, and the remaining balance is due on or before the session day. Travel fees may apply for sessions outside of Chicago.

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    My Booking Process 1. First, I’ll ask for the date, time, and location of your planned session. 2. Once we confirm availability, we’ll move forward with signing the contract and sending the deposit. Please note: your date is officially reserved only after the deposit is received!📅 3. After that, we’ll discuss all the details and timeline of your session. I’ll ask about your preferences and ideas to make sure everything feels comfortable and personal for you.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    Take your time to look through the photographer’s portfolio and make sure you truly connect with their style. Every photographer has a unique way of seeing and capturing moments, so choosing someone whose work genuinely speaks to you will make your experience — and your photos — feel much more authentic and special.
