We're a husband-and-wife duo with a shared love for storytelling, adventure, and creativity. Together, we've built our lives around capturing life's most beautiful moments and sharing them with the world. Our days are fueled by Turkish coffee, our amazing kids, our furry four-legged friend, cameras, and road trips along the stunning California and Oregon coasts. We're also big foodies and love exploring new cultures through cuisine.

Originally from Chile (me) and raised in Australia, we now call sunny California home. With over 15 years in the wedding industry, we've seen a lot and have loved every second of it. While Demetris has transitioned his focus to wedding marketing through his company Muse House Media, he occasionally shoots videos. Meanwhile, I (Mariela) continue to pour my heart into photographing intimate weddings and elopements. We're also passionate about giving back to the creative community by offering mentorships, one-on-one workshops, and resources to help others thrive in this fantastic industry.

We're excited to announce the launch of The MCP Podcast! WE LAUNCHED February 7th, 2025. We have created a space for relaxed, real sessions where we'll dive into everything weddings—sharing our experiences, debating trends, laughing at the unexpected, and shining a light on the stories that often go untold. We'll also bring incredible vendors to share their expertise because a wedding is a true team effort. Collaboratively, every vendor plays a crucial role in making the day seamless and unforgettable for our couples.

Together, we're here to inspire, educate, and connect with you—whether you're a couple planning your dream wedding or a creative looking to grow your passion into something extraordinary. Let's celebrate the beauty of love, community, and creativity! 💕
