Meet Khaled
my secret weapon

My lovely husband is my rock and soulmate.

He inspires and motivates me to be a better person daily. A quiet soul, he’ll listen to your dreams and visions and find a way to make them come alive. Together, we’ll make a unique and limitless dream team on your wedding day- and on the journey leading up to it.

And This Is Why I Do
What I do...

I believe everyone is born with an inner spark of curiosity. It’s a beautiful part of being human – the ability to ask questions, and the power to challenge the answers. Every day further fuels my curiosity, leaving me with a hunger to travel all over the world, documenting my love story, and everyone else’s, along the way.

My curiosity makes me live for moments that can’t be put into words, and makes me search for beauty that i can only see as god’s handwriting. It causes me to want to stretch until I break all the boundaries, leaving me limitless. I believe everyone deserves to be confident, beautiful, and one-of-a-kind, and its an amazing feeling when my clients feel exactly that.

  • Avani & Ripul

    “Words cannot say enough! Your style, generosity and ability to take stunning contemporary photographs have truly blown us away! Right from the very offset you were exactly that we had been looking for: friendly, down-to-earth, spontaneous, talented and accommodating- who offered us individuality and everything and more than what we wanted. We love our albums! We look at them over and over- all the time! Every time we see the same picture we find something new to talk about.

    Captured in the shots, you and Khaled have taken, are the very essence of everything that was so important to us those days -the laughs, smiles, fun, romance, friends, family, charm, enchantment, atmosphere, love -simply everything!

    You’ve managed to seal it in a visual image that depicts our memories of those days that we will love and cherish, which will last us a lifetime! Mariana and Khaled, we cannot fully express our gratitude into words by what you have done for us. This email goes only a small way to giving you the full credit and admiration that you deserve and thanks that we want to convey to you. We love you both and anticipate your visit to California!”

  • Zahara & Daniel

    “Capturing our love story was one of the most endearing experiences we’ve had. Kismis Ink brought the true essence of our love and elegance into an amazing keepsake that we can cherish forever. Our loving family and friends were able to vividly live in our special moment because of the amazing photography and creativity of Kismis Ink.”

  • Stevi & Josh

    “When my husband and I got married, I had absolutely had no clue how to choose a photographer. Luckily my sister found Kismis Ink online. I went and met with them once and I knew I wanted to have them photograph our wedding. I couldn’t imagine working with better people to capture my special day! Khaled and Mariana were so much fun to work with! They each bring their own creative eye to each of their photos, which was great because I ended up with a variety of beautiful engagement and wedding pictures! I would recommend Kismis Ink to anyone that is looking for fun, creative and high-quality photographers!”

  • Andrea & Will

    “I think the images really speak for themselves. You did a beautiful job and captured the beauty and the joy of our wedding day. You were both wonderful to work with and a positive, calming influence on a crazy day.”

  • Frances & Felip

    “We wanted a no-fuss courthouse wedding, but we wanted to capture the emotions and happiness of that day as well as our family. Mariana and Khaled knew exactly what we wanted from the beginning and delivered amazing pictures. I was really nervous and they a great job at  making us feel comfortable. We are so happy we decided to go with them. Looking forward to another session. This time with our little one.”

  • Vanessa & Chris

    “Chris and I were a bit nervous about looking for someone to photograph our wedding. Chris is a photographer and I had assisted him a number of times with shooting weddings, so admittedly, we were pretty picky! When we first say Mariana’s work, I was blown away by her use of natural light and how it lends itself to the beauty of her photography. Mariana and Khaled are such a talented, sweet couple and they really put you at ease on what is one of the biggest days of your life!”

  • Nerlin & Andy

    “My husband and I had already chosen and paid the deposit for a photographer for our upcoming wedding when we first heard about Kismis InK. After seeing the creativity and quality for their photos, we decided to contact Mariana to get more information. Once I spoke with her, I knew without a doubt that they were the right photographers to capture the memories of our wedding. My husband and I decided to switch photographers and go with Kismis Ink to photograph our engagement session and wedding. Mariana and Khaled were there every step of the way to ensure that our wedding day went smoothly and they did an awesome job at capturing every detail and memory. We were so blessed to have met such an amazing, caring and professional couple. Not only did we find great photographers but we also gained two amazing friends.”

  • Cindy & Rob

    “A memory is only as good as the photographs. You only have so much many times in your adult life where you can howl at the moon. Your wedding is one of those few occasions. Photos are instrumental on helping you remember just how special it was. Anyone and everyone who has seen our beautiful wedding photos has been beyond impressed. I am immensely thankful to Kismis Ink for their talents and their ease and the great friendship that now we have with Mariana and Khaled. They were just wonderful to work with. I would refer them to anyone looking for talented people to only capture a meaningful moment but to create beautiful memories.”

  • Valerie & Evan

    “When you are planning your wedding day, it is all about the details! You put forth so much time, efforts and money to make that one day so very special. Then when the big day comes, it’s juts one big whirlwind of fun. Love and emotion! All those details become a blur, unless, you get the perfect photographer to document your day. Kismis Ink caught EVERY special moment and every little detail. They captured the flower details that adorned the aisle. They photographed my DIY centerpieces making them look like masterpieces and toll my most memorable photo of my husband dipping me during our dance capturing the huge grins of the guest in the background. Photos are memories of your special day. It’s very important to pick the right photographer. Kismis Ink was professional, prepared and absolutely a joy to work with. You will not be disappointed.”

  • Morgan & John

    “We feel so very fortunate to have had Mariana and Khaled document our most special day! They captured the beauty in every little detail of our wedding. We look forward to their family capturing our family’s special moments for years to come!”

  • Anjali & Sagar

    “Mariana & Khaled were wonderful to work with from beginning to end! Their photos capture so many special moments of our wedding and perfectly reflect the love and energy of the whole weekend. Looking through our album is like reliving the wedding. So I know we will treasure these images and memories forever.”

  • Bekah & Danny

    “There is nothing better than waking up on your wedding day knowing that photographers you hired will not only document your special day in a way that no other could (the skills are endless) but to know they are truly head over heels in love with your love story and with each click of their camera are creating a montage of your happily ever after. The photos from Kismis Ink Photography are timeless. Classy, flattering, unique and breathtaking.”

  • Kristen & Danny

    “Mariana & Khaled are more than just wedding photographers; they made us feel like we were old friends. You cannot put a price on hiring photographers like that, who are able to not only make you feel comfortable but make an efforts to know you so much so that you want to hang out with them all the time! We still talk with them and it’s been over 2 years since our wedding.”

  • Leila & Jio

    “Choosing a wedding photographer is just as important as choosing the perfect wedding dress. When we chose Kismis Ink to document our wedding day. Our expectations were surpassed. Mariana and Khaled have the dynamic to make you feel like you are truly family. They made us feel so at ease on our wedding day that all jitters seem to disappear. They genuinely captured the love my husband and I share for each other! We not only had great photographers but we gained a friendship for life!”

  • Nicole & Keily

Truly we fell in love with not only their work but with them instantly. It is a fact that your wedding day will come and go in a blink of an eye and years will pass you by. However, photography is the only thing that will have forever and having Kismis Ink capture it will guarantee you amazing photos for a lifetime.”

Mariana’s super sweet and upbeat personality is a blast to be around. It is always a pleasure to work with Kismis Ink, and we can’t wait to work with them in future events to come!”

  • Liz Camacho | Liz Kamali Events

    “Mariana and Khaled are one of a kind. Kind hearted and genuinely sincere does not event sum up how special they are to my family and me. They took our family portraits last year in August and captured some amazing moments that are now on our walls all over our home. My little girl is not always the most cooperative but some how Marianna and Khaled were able to make her laugh, pose and stay still without a peep lol. We are so grateful to have met them and that they were able to bring our vision to life. They are gems and their work speaks for itself. Its organic, fun, unique and full of passion. Thank you Kismis Ink we can not wait to create more love lasting memories through your eye of art! Definitely worth it!”
