Meet Your Photographer

Marilia Lima

My approach is calm, intuitive, and focused on creating images that feel natural, cinematic, and true to the energy of theday. I blend 35mm film and digital to give your wedding story depth, texture, emotion, and a timeless editorial feel.Based in Rhode Island and Portugal, I photograph weddings across the U.S. and Europe with an unobtrusive documentarystyle that lets you stay fully present while I handle the rest.

From intimate coastal weddings to multi-day celebrations in Portugal and Italy, I’m drawn to days that feel meaningful

 and deeply human.

Client Perspectives

"Marilia fit in so well amongst our families and appreciated how much these moments meant to all of us. We have no doubt this ability helps her capture more honest photos, and it certainly endears her to the people she photographs.."

- juliana & alex

"Her ability to capture the small moments and make it timeless is not something any photographer can do. She is professional, kind, patient, and fun. She blended seamlessly into our group and yet was able to capture what she does best."

- michele & steve

"Anyone can visit Marilia’s website or Instagram to see the beauty of her art, but what you can’t see online is what it’s like to work with her. Marilia is cool, fun, and calming, and she has a way of making her subjects feel completely at ease in front of the camera. She captures the truth of what is happening all day long, in the most beautiful and artistic way."
