The Photographer Trusted by David Tutera
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 gives a speech at her baby shower. The event was planned and designed by David Tutera and photographed by Maring
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.

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.
