Getting engaged is a crazy whirlwind filled with so many emotions, and I know that it can feel overwhelming. Not only are you crying happy tears, but you’re also wondering where you even get started with the next steps. Wedding planning takes priority, but I want to make sure that you make space for this time in your life as a fiancé.
So let’s slow down and celebrate the moment you’re in right now. I’ll help you craft your engagement session, work with you to find the perfect location, and even offer outfit advice. This chapter is worth remembering, and I’ll help you preserve beautiful memories to hold close for a lifetime.
We absolutely love Maria’s work! At this point, she’s just part of our story in a way... Engagement Photoshoot, Engagement Party, Wedding Reception and Wedding Day. Her work tells a story which we absolutely adore! Highly recommend for capturing candid moments.

Our session will allow us to get to know each other and ease your worries in front of the camera. We can choose a spot that is significant to you and your partner, or I can offer location guidance as needed. Be sure to showcase your personality with your style choices, and if you want an outfit change, let’s do it! Treat the day as the best date ever, and soak up this amazing time in your life when your official title is ‘fiancé.’
Once your date is on my calendar, we’ll work on bringing your wedding vision to life. I’ll send you my customized couples’ questionnaire to learn more about your ideas, your love story, and what you want on your day. If you’re enjoying both an engagement session and wedding package, expect to receive two! This is where we can deep dive into your day and make sure that every detail is taken care of.
Following your perfect session, bask in your fiancé status while I’m hard at work creating behind-the-scenes magic. Within 4 weeks of your engagement photoshoot, you’ll receive our final photo gallery! I’ll provide you with a link to view online so you can take your time looking through each and every one. Grab a glass of wine, snuggle up on the couch, and see your love come to life.
If you’re interested in a package add-on, please fill out the contact form on my website so we can chat! I can learn more about what you’re looking for and let you know if I can accommodate your request.
For an engagement session, final galleries are delivered within 4 weeks via a private online link. Wedding galleries are delivered 8 weeks after your date via a private online gallery as well as a USB drive.
My style is photojournalistic, which means that I will document your wedding day as it naturally unfolds. There will be less emphasis on traditional posing (though we can do some!), and more emphasis on allowing you to interact with your new spouse and family while I capture it all.
The Golden Desi photography package includes up to 4 pre-wedding events. This can be events like Garba, Sangeet, Mehndi, and Pooja. If you are having a different kind of pre-wedding event, please let me know so we can accommodate you!
Yes! While I tend to focus on working with couples who are having South Asian-style weddings, I love working with everyone. If you have any questions, reach out! I would love to set up a time to chat.
Bookings are done on a first-come, first-serve basis. The best way to secure your date is by signing the contract and submitting the retainer. I only take a limited number of weddings per year to ensure I can work closely with you through the entire process, and able to provide you with the images I know you will love and cherrish for a lifetime!
