I have had the pleasure of working with Maria on several occasions now and not only is she an exceptional photographer but she is also the consummate professional. Her attention to detail is second to none and I would recommend Ebourne images without hesitation.

Maria was fantastic from start to finish! Even with the uncertainty of planning a wedding during a pandemic, everything went so smoothly and we could not have asked for a better photographer. Our photos are amazing, i can't stop looking at them!

I was looking for Family shoot at Eastbourne beach. I started googling family photographers and found Maria. She had amazing reviews about wedding photography, so i was not sure if she will agree to do a family shoot. But as i called her, we connected and fixed a date for the shoot. She is a professional photographer, and knows what she is doing. She delivered exactly what i wanted and within agreed timelimit. I moved to UK 5 years ago and tried multiple photographers but i can gladly say now that i have found my family photographer. My experience was amazing, she was quick to capture natural pics

When I was searching for "creative photographers" for our wedding I was really excited to find Maria and she was even better than I'd hoped. I had loads of ideas for our photography and as she was local we were able to meet several times before the day to go over exactly what we wanted. She was really lovely and enthusiastic about all my requests and she came up with some great ideas of her own too.
On the day Maria worked SO hard, she remembered everything and coordinated the shots perfectly. I've attached just a few of the images but it was so hard to choose my favourites because they were all
