Reviews of Rothbauer Studio - Ottawa Photographer (Photo Studio)

Myka Caluyong

We had an excellent experience with Marianne. She was easy-going, helped find my lost wedding vow in our uber (thank you!!), and endured some mosquito bites (sorry!!) until the last moments of our wedding celebration. She beautifully captured moments in our special day and we look fondly at the photos from time to time. Thanks Marianne!

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Marianne a few years ago for our engagement and wedding photos. Marianne is not only professional and talented but she is so kind-hearted too! I highly recommend using her for any of your upcoming celebrations or family portraits, you will not be disappointed!

Danielle Darke

I am beyond happy with the photos Marianne took of me and my family. She is an absolute pleasure to shoot with, and booking was very easy. Thank you so much Marianne!

I have hired Marianne for both professional (corporate) and personal (Instagram) photo sessions. She is extremely creative, reliable and professional... but also a lovely person with a great attitude. Her turn around time is very fair and she produces exceptional quality work. She has a great eye! Thank you Marianne for all the work we have done together... more to come, obviously! Chantal

Marianne pours her heart and soul into her photography. Her calm presence paired with her wild sense of humour puts you at ease in front of the camera. If you are looking for beautiful, timeless and emotive imagery for your wedding day, look no further! She's amazing and I can’t recommend her enough!!

Justin Black

We have used Marianne on several occasions and couldn't be more impressed with her work. She is extremely professional and her ability to capture life's special moments is nothing short of incredible.

Anne Wong

Marianne was our wedding photographer and she did a fabulous job! She captured every moment of our day, with a combination of both candid and posed photos which is exactly what we asked for. She was very pleasant to work with, and our friends and family all commented on how great our photos turned out - a few have even gone on to hire her for some of their own events! So happy we were able to have Marianne as our wedding photographer!

Absolutely stunning and artistic work. You can see her heart shine through every photo!

Monika Petridis

Marianne's calm energy was the reason we chose her for our wedding day. On top of being talented, she was a lovely presence on our special day, never in the way, and always capturing the right moments. We couldn't be happier to have Marianne be a part of our wedding, and beyond! I would highly recommend her work without a hesitation.

Joanna Kipp

Working with Marianne at Rothbauer Studio was an absolute pleasure. Not only does she take beautiful photos, but she is kind and has a great sense of humour that made the shoot fun. She also suggested excellent locations that helped me realize the vision I had for my photos. Would 100% work with her again!

Marianne is one of the best in the business. She is a true professional.

HILARY BIRD

My husband and I booked Marianne for our September 7th/19 wedding. We could not have asked for more. Marianne was amazing. She was so professional and we barely noticed she was there. My husband is extremely nervous in front of cameras and is not very photogenic. Marianne was able to work with him to make him feel comfortable and took some absolutely stunning candid shots. She gave us all our photos only three weeks after our wedding! We are so glad we booked her and would recommend her in a heart beat.

Sham Hishmeh

I had the privilege of having Marianne shoot my wedding and then a family shoot with our babe some time later. I love her style and personal touch. She is forever part of our love story and family.

Kristin Perrin

Marianne is a PRO! Her level of professionalism, and warm friendly approach is a joy to work with....and her attention to detail will appease any perfectionist! She is thorough, and meticulous when it comes to photoshoot staging. I highly recommend Rothbauer's photography services for food and beverage photos, professional headshots, as well as interior design/photoshoot staging.

Sharif Virani

Amazing photos and a pleasure to work with A+ all around

Taya Cook

Marianne shot our engagement photos and our wedding back in 2012 and she has been our go to photographer ever since. She is so easy to get along with, she guides you without making you awkwardly pose, and her incredible eye is truly a gift. When my son was 1 we had a family photoshoot and he had a complete breakdown the entire time. I figured it was a complete wash and yet that day she captured some of my favourite photos with him that I have. If you like beautiful, natural photos that tell a story - you can't find better than Marianne.

Joe Tanis

Marianne is the best. She helped so much for our big day and couldn’t have done a better job. She’s also so much fun to work with and makes pictures on the day of the wedding much less hectic than most. Truly an amazing person and photographer.

Jay Tse

I've had the privilege of working with Marianne on several projects to date. Marianne's work is always breathtaking and I truly admire her focus and professionalism. Furthermore, as a fellow photographer Marianne has always been an exceptional mentor and friend to me and I am always happy to receive a call from her asking me to collaborate on her next photographic adventure! Keep up the great work Marianne!! :)

Parsa Tester

Marianne is a pleasure to work with! She wonderfully captured my business partner and I, as well as our optical store, Eyemaxx Optical Studio. She was very professional and sweet. We look forward to working with her again!

Kaili C

Marianne is one of kind. Her style of photography is classic, elegant, timeless, emotional and candid. So many of my friends have hired her, and each photo exudes that editorial look and feel. What I personally love about her is that her photos have that Vogue quality, but she is so down to earth and sweet. She doesn't take over your wedding; she's not obnoxiously snapping away in your guests' way. She's there in the background, tiptoeing her way to the next photo-op and capturing all the unique moments and facial expressions in action. I recommend her to everyone, and each person who hires her becomes her friend and we all stay in touch.

Allie Aitken

It was such a pleasure working with Marianne! She took some fresh headshots of me for my businesses. Communication was a breeze and she put me at ease in front of the camera. Marianne has a great eye and selected some really unique urban backdrops for the shoot. I LOVE the finished photographs and can't wait to use them to help boost my online presence. Thank you Marianne!!!

Ian Charlebois

We had seen Marianne's work online and we immediately scheduled a time for our newest realtors headshots! Thanks for the quick responses and we can't wait to see your work make us shine :)

Diana Escobar Bold

Marianne is amazing! She has taken amazing photos of my family for nine years.. my little family, my brother’s wedding, my brother-in-law’s wedding and even managed to successful capture all nine of my nieces and nephews in a group session (newbie to 15 years old)... boy, did my mother love! Thank you Marianne! Can’t wait for the next session.

Melanie Ang

100% would recommend Rothbauer Studio! I hire Marianne to do product shots for our new packaging and she was such a pleasure to work with. She kept me updated through the process and has such a great eye for the feel we were going for in our branding. I totally trust her for all our projects. Can't wait to work with you again. Thanks Marianne!

Juniper

Marianne was such a delight to work with. She was very professional from the start/planning process, throughout the shoot (hustles) and worked through completion as expected. This is important for me as an entrepreneur because it is all ROI. Photos of excellent quality (and quantity) were delivered on time. The user interface was very smooth and easy to use. It was the icing on the cake following a very long weekend of photo shooting, which was also a lot of fun. I will definitley be hiring Marianne again!

Tim Ratledge

Marianne did my wedding in 2011 and again some fall/Christmas portraits in 2019. She is fun to work with and provides superior service and photos! She knows the right way to catch an amazing pic and would use her again.

Barbara Kowalski

Marianne is super talented and makes beautiful photos every time. She has worked with a number of my clients to photograph them, their products and their businesses and her photos are always sharp, beautifully composed and have an artistic sensibility. She is a premium photographer and I fully recommend her.

Emmanuel Poon

Fine Art Storytelling - We love how Marianne is able to capture emotion with ease. She can capture the moment in a creative, artistic way yet remaining true in the natural moment. You could tell her passion and her love of photography. Highly recommended!

caroline gauthier

We have worked with Marianne twice now. Her work is incredible, she has the most incredible eye and talent for catching the perfect candid shots. She is also just the loveliest person! We highly recommend her and look forward to our next shoot!

Erin .Fitz

Marianne did an incredible job shooting our wedding! She is extremely talented, easy to work with, and manages to capture all the most special moments seamlessly. I really appreciated how Marianne made everyone feel comfortable right away, directed the crowd in a relaxed and humorous manner, and got along so well with all the other vendors. She is a true artist and professional. My sister and good friend both used Marianne for their weddings and were also delighted with the results. I could not recommend her more. :)

Rosalyn Price

Marianne has done several family photo sessions for us and we adore her and her work! She is wonderful with our kids and takes amazing photos that capture their personalities perfectly! Can’t say enough good things about Marianne :)

Anat Kaplan

Marianne is a rare photographer. Each image is poetry. She has a knack for capturing the most special and intimate moments in the most beautiful way. Your photos will turn out natural, timeless and highly artistic. Can't recommend her enough!

Nina Gormanns

Marianne photographed my small city hall wedding (+ dinner) in summer 2019 and did a fantastic job! She was super easy to work with and turned around the teasers and all photos faster than expected. I got the photos (mix of b/w and colour) via an electronic photo library and could easily download the whole batch in full size in one go. A big plus is that she's fluent in English and German and could talk to both my and my husband's parents in their native languages. I love Marianne's photo style and eye for details. I would definitely recommend her and hire her again!

Natalie & Ryan McAnuff

We cannot praise Marianne and her work enough, 5 out of 5 stars does not do it justice. We hired Marianne as our wedding photographer immediately after stumbling across her website through Google. Her creative vision, timeless and sophisticated style emanated from her portfolio online and was exactly what we wanted in our wedding photos. When Covid-19 hit and our wedding plans for this summer were dramatically affected, she was patient, kind, supportive, responsive and flexible beyond words. She was willing to adjust our wedding date from a Saturday to a Wednesday with no questions asked. She was a delight to have with us on our wedding day, so easy to get along with, engaging, fun and positive the entire day. She made us feel so comfortable. We received our photos back from Marianne within a few short weeks of the wedding and they are even more beautiful than we could have ever dreamed. She has a way of making all the little details come to life in her photos, that will allow us to relive our most special day over and over. We are already looking forward to having Marianne take more photos of our family in the future and recommend her to everyone!

Jacquelyn Tanis

We loved working with Marianne for our wedding! She captured us candidly and also followed our (somewhat extensive) list of family pictures that we wanted. We got a preview of our photos in just a few days and the entire album (over 1000 pictures!) a few weeks later. They all came out better than we could have ever expected and we will definitely be cherishing them for many years to come!

Amy Mooney

Marianne was so lovely and absolutely amazing to work with! We are so pleased we chose her to document our special day. She made our lives so easy, she knew exactly what types of pictures we were looking for and captured amazing timeless shots of our wedding day. We would highly recommend her to anyone and hope we can have her document another milestone of ours one day!

Marc Buckley

Marianne is the best. She was incredible to work with and by far the best vendor we had at our wedding. She was recommended to us by a friend of my wife and we’ve recommended her to all of our friends since our wedding.

Austin Steed

My wife and I met Marianne in the summer of 2016 while we prepared for our wedding in the fall. We interviewed several candidates but after a quick video chat we knew she was the one. Her professionalism and friendliness meshed seamlessly. She knew exactly what we wanted, and never pushed for anything we didn't. And the quality of work on the day of the wedding, and the completions of editing was impeccable. She treated us like friends, and not like faceless clients.

Kelly Muschett

Marianne is the best! Very professional, accommodating, and personable. We have used Marianne for our family photos for years, and she always manages to catch some great moments. High recommendations.

Ashley Guy

I had the pleasure of working alongside Marianne and her lovely assistant Irina a week ago on a wedding in Prince Edward, ON. I appreciated so much her calm demeanor and willingness to be flexible. We almost got rained out and Marianne was on top of it with a potential back up plan in place. She was wonderful at keeping to the timeline and itinerary which was incredibly helpful and integral. I can't wait to work with you again Marianne, Ottawa wedding planners would do very well to hire her!

Sam Raza

Brilliant and creative pictures!

Jihyun Cha

Marianne photographed our hot humid COVID wedding and made the special moments and details that were unique to our wedding come alive. She has a beautiful artistry to her work that doesn't seem contrived or standardized. I don't know how or when she got some of the shots she did. She is truly talented. Every photo in her portfolio as well as our own photos are so real and unique; every emotion and detail so beautifully captured. Marianne was also so warm and easy-going which made taking pictures so pleasant, relaxing and uncomplicated. She was very flexible and kept things simple and to the point while planning which made things so much easier. You really cannot go wrong :)

Natalie Fraser

I would love Marianne 10 stars if I could. We had to cancel our maternity shoot with her because our baby arrived early. She was amazing and patient in rescheduling a new date. We had her to our home three weeks after our first baby was born. She was so kind, patient, funny and easy to work with. We also have a giant dog that she was great with, so we were able to get pictures with him too. As new parents, her skills and care were exactly what we needed. I will cherish the pictures she took of our new family forever. Marianne is immensely talented and is a true artist. I would be thrilled to have the opportunity to have her photograph our family again and would seek out her incredible skills for other projects.

Meagan Swan

We trusted Marianne to document the arrival of our second child and were blown away. She captures intimate and personal interactions. Not the standard cookie cutter poses or positions. She works to capture YOUR family, in your moments. We’ve had so many comments on our beautiful images. If you’re looking for someone who understands the personal nature of photograph, trust Marianne.

Jenny Blair

Marianne is such a talented storyteller! I love the way she approaches weddings and I'm always eager to see new work from her (because it's all amazing). If you live in the Ottawa area, hire Marianne!!
