Engagement Photographer in Philadelphia and beyond

the chapter before the vows

An engagement session is a chance to slow down and enjoy each other while wedding planning is taking over — an afternoon that's only about the two of you. I'll help you choose a location that means something, guide you until you forget the camera is there, and document what's real: the laughter, the closeness, the way you look at each other when no one's asking you to pose.

From City Hall to the Jersey Shore, the Lehigh Valley to New York — wherever your story is, I'll meet you there.

THERE’S NOTHING LIKE SAYING ‘YES’ TO your PERSON

I'M HERE TO HELP YOU PRESERVE THIS CHAPTER

Getting engaged is a whirlwind — happy tears one minute, a to-do list the next. Wedding planning will take over soon enough. Before it does, I want you to make space for this season: the one where your title is '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 preserving, and I'll help you document it beautifully — photographs to hold close for a lifetime.

HER work
TELLS A STORY

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.

PRESERVE YOUR LOVE BEFORE THE 'I DO'S'

MY PROCESS

SESSION

Our session is where we get to know each other — and where any nerves about the camera start to fade. We can choose a spot that means something to you two, or I'll guide you to the right location. Wear what feels like you, and if you want an outfit change, we'll build it in. Treat the day like the best date you've had yet, and soak up the season when your official title is 'fiancé.'

PLANNING

Once your session is on my calendar, I'll send over my couples' questionnaire — your story, your style, the places that matter to you. From there, I'll help you plan the rest: location, timing around the best light, outfits, anything on your mind. By the time we meet, there's nothing left to figure out. Just show up and be together.

REVEAL

After your session, your only job is to enjoy being engaged. Within four weeks, your full gallery arrives — a private online link, yours to take your time with. Pour a glass of wine, settle in together, and see this chapter the way I saw it.
