so lovely to meet you
Meet Maura
Hi! I’m Maura, and I am passionate about capturing the authenticity and beauty of your special day! My style is one part east-coast sophistication and two parts southwestern charm, which means I am as comfortable sipping champagne in the city as I am hiking in the mountains. Nothing excites me more than finding ways to weave all the unique pieces of your love story into the images I create for you. If you catch me with my camera down, chances are I’m spending time with my husband, our two dogs, and little girl Mahlia. I love exploring the outdoors or relaxing on the couch having a good Netflix binge. You can also find me planning our next getaway or hunting down the best donut in town.

Sarah has been shooting weddings with and for Maura Jane Photography for over 8 years now, and we are so lucky to know this awesome Texas gal.
She moved here from the Lone Star State shortly after marrying her best friend, Jeremy, and New Mexico now has her heart.
She loves hiking and the outdoors, all things pizza, and coffee with a good self-help book.
She loves being home with her husband and kids, and they just welcomed a second baby girl to the family.

She recently just welcomed her sweet baby girl and she is just smitten! Cheyenne loves to go to farmer’s markets or other local events such as the ABQ art walk. She is obssessed with plants, herbal tea and Kim Kardashian, which she says she isn’t ashamed of one bit.

The Maura Jane Experience
An Intentional Focus on the Heart of Your Story
As we said goodbye to 2024, we were left with one overwhelming thought: wow, what a year! From lush mountaintop ceremonies to intimate receptions dripping in romance, this past wedding season was nothing short of amazing. Every couple brought their unique style and love story, and capturing their special moments was truly an honor. Our […]
Some love stories are so beautiful, they deserve to be celebrated twice—and that’s exactly what Maura and Brandon did during their breathtaking vow renewal in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. Brandon and Maura met twenty years ago in downtown Santa Fe while both were working summer jobs on their college breaks. They didn’t know it then, […]
Leslie and William didn’t meet until later on, however their paths crossed numerous times throughout their lives. They grew up in the same suburb of Dallas, same neighborhood, they went to the same elementary and middle school, and even went to the same church! Their moms were in PTA together, and their brothers knew each […]
Blaire and Max were married at the beautiful La Posada de Santa Fe in August and their wedding day was such a vibrant celebration of love, creativity, and joy.

From the first time I saw Maura’s photography I knew that I wanted her to photograph our wedding and hiring her was one of the best decisions we made! Not only is her photography stunning but she is an absolute pleasure to work with. Maura was extremely supportive throughout the entire planning process. Maura and Hannah were also amazing to have around on our wedding day. Maura and her team are easily the best in the business and I couldn’t be happier with the way our photos turned out!
- Allison and Zach
From the very beginning Maura provided amazing guidance and recommendations which we really appreciated. Sarah took our engagement and wedding photos and and made us feel so comfortable - she felt like a good friend right away! I can’t get over how beautiful our photos came out. Thank you Maura and Sarah for capturing such an important day in our lives you ladies are truly the best!!
- Caitlin and James
We absolutely loved our experience with Maura and Hannah! I’ve been a fan of Maura’s work for over five years. She was the very first wedding vendor I contacted, and we even changed the original wedding date we were considering because she was already booked on that day. Being a wedding photographer myself, I am very picky, and Maura blew my expectations out of the water! I could not be happier with our wedding and engagement photos she created for us!
- Sarah and Lance
Maura was there to offer advice on vendors and maintained so much excitement for our wedding. I am pretty sure she was emailing me while in the hospital right after having her beautiful baby girl. That's just who she is, a true professional who really cares about her couples. I could go on and on about how thankful I am for her responsiveness! Now for the photos - ohmygoshilovethemsomuch. Seriously, the photos are beyond what I could have ever imagined. She captured our days so beautifully and I am so happy! Thank you Maura Jane Team!
- Alicia and Jessie
I have been following Maura Jane Photography on social media for over 2 years before our recent wedding in May 2022. Their work is so romantic and beautiful, I knew we did not want to compromise when it came to our wedding photos! To say that they are the absolute best wedding photographer team in the Southwest is an understatement! Not only is their work artistic, creative and captivating, but Maura is so thoughtful and professional. When it came to our wedding day, Sarah and Hannah were so patient, kind, and understanding with our big family. Everything we were hoping was captured, absolutely was, and more!
compliments of the Bride
