Kind words

4.9 average from 120+ couples (sample)

“We forgot she was there, then cried through the whole gallery. Every one of our guests is in it.”

Priya S. Sample review

“Maren found the one dry hour of a rainy October Saturday and used every minute of it.”

Caleb W. Sample review

“Our family photos finally look like us. Messy kitchen, the dog, all of it.”

Hi, I'm Maren

I grew up in Langley, spent five years assisting wedding photographers in Seattle, and started Driftline in 2013.

I still shoot one roll of film at every wedding and choose my favorite frames on a contact sheet with a red grease pencil. This site works the same way.
