A Record of Discretion in the World of Refined Celebration

In the highest tiers of event design, trust is not announced.
It is extended quietly, and renewed repeatedly.

When David Tutera selected Maring to photograph his own wedding, it marked the beginning of a professional relationship grounded in shared standards: discretion, composure, and an uncompromising eye for detail.

What followed was not publicity.

It was continuity.

Through referral, collaboration, and publication, Maring became a trusted visual presence within some of the most layered and high-profile environments in contemporary celebration.

Publication as Foundation

Maring crafted the full photographic bodies of work for:

  • The Party Planner

  • Big Birthdays

  • Disney Fairy Tale Weddings

  • My Fair Wedding

Across these titles, hundreds of images define atmosphere, scale, and tone documenting environments where architecture, floral density, couture, and culinary presentation intersect.

This work required more than aesthetic consistency.
It required fluency within production and an ability to preserve both grandeur and intimacy without exaggeration.

Celebrity & High-Visibility Celebrations

Through continued referral, Maring was commissioned to photograph select celebrity celebrations and high-profile gatherings, including:

Lil' Kim baby shower speech

  • The wedding of Star Jones

  • Birthday celebrations for Jenni Farley and Roger Mathews

  • A baby shower celebration for Lil' Kim

  • A birthday celebration for writer Tom Clancy on a Battleship

In addition, Maring has photographed private events for global leaders and internationally recognized figures whose privacy remains paramount.

These environments differ from traditional weddings in one critical way:

Visibility is heightened.
Margins for error are nonexistent.
Security, confidentiality, and discretion are assumed.

The approach remains the same… Calm integration into the design team, respect for the guest environment, and an unwavering focus on the integrity of the imagery.

With David Tutera’s referral and planner collaboration, Maring photographed celebrations across:

  • Tuscany

  • New York

  • Miami

  • Los Angeles

Each location presents its own architectural language, cultural rhythm, and production complexity.

Historic estates in Tuscany demand sensitivity to landscape and light.
New York requires architectural precision and timing within compressed environments.
Miami brings scale, vibrancy, and layered design.
Los Angeles merges entertainment visibility with privacy considerations.

The constant across all settings is composure.

Why Planners Continue to Refer

Photographer Charles Maring

High-end planners do not seek photographers who compete with the design.

They seek collaborators who:

  • Understand production flow

  • Anticipate timing shifts

  • Protect the guest experience

  • Work seamlessly alongside security teams

  • Deliver imagery suitable for publication without disrupting the event

Photographer Jennifer Maring

The longstanding professional relationship with David Tutera reflects this alignment.

It is not a celebrity credential.
