Grin Gallery Photography — Attraction in Altoona

If you want your typical wedding photographer who is going to take a bunch a pictures of your wedding and then send them back to you in a day, you might want to look elsewhere. If you want an artist to capture the best day of your life, and take the time to make the memories from your wedding come to life, book Marlaina IMMEDIATELY. She is an amazing photographer, and just a good time to work with. We booked her for our wedding back in summer of 2019 when our wedding was supposed to be in spring of 2020...and she literally stuck with us until we could finally have our reception in spring of 2021. As soon as the pandemic hit, we were able to work with her to book our new date, she was completely understanding, and so flexible with us (we changed out date like 6 different times). At our reception we barely even knew she was there, or how she managed to literally be in (what seems like) 5 different places at once. I could come up with a bunch of other reasons why you should book her, but set up a consult with her and let her charm...

I am a professional event planner who had a very specific vision in mind for my wedding. Marlania was the first vendor I hired after securing my venue, over 2 years out from my wedding date. I knew her style would go perfectly with my venue's aesthetic and vibe, and I was correct! These photos are truly a work of art. I still bawl my eyes out every time I look at them, over a month later. Biased for sure, but these are the most beautiful wedding photos I've ever seen in my life. I think this is some of her strongest work yet. I had my own ideas for the shoot list, and Marlania listened to those as well as added in her own instructions/vision to enhance things. She was also high energy, a lot of fun to work with, and got along great with my videographer team, who she hadn't meant before. Seeing my vision and hard work come to life at my wedding was a dream come true and Marlania captured it perfectly. I am so thankful I now have these beautiful photos from the best day of my life to look back...

Marlaina is an exceptional photographer with a true gift for capturing the beauty and joy of special moments. We had the pleasure of having her do our maternity shoot, and we couldn't be happier with the results! Marlaina made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire session, also helps when she’s an amazing person and friend.

Her talent is undeniable, as she has a remarkable eye for detail and composition. The way she captured the love and anticipation we were feeling during this special time in our lives is truly amazing. The photos turned out beautifully, and we will cherish them for years to come.

Marlaina's passion for photography shines through in her work, and it is clear that she genuinely cares about creating meaningful and lasting memories for her clients. We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and amazing photographer. Thank you, Marlaina, for your...
