ENGAGEMENTS

Capturing the love story that continues forever.

The day you get engaged is the day that symbolizes the beginning of always and forever. Getting engaged is a milestone in your life that you deserve to have captured and to have all of those nervous, happy & excited feelings remembered forever.

Hiring someone to photograph your engagement can be such a rewarding investment. It symbolizes the conversion from dating in your relationship to expressing your commitment and forever love for your partner.  It is also a great opportunity to meet & establish a relationship with your wedding photographer!

Your engagement session can be booked to document the original engagement or after you have become engaged as a more formal & styled photo session. I am also an expert at hiding/blending in on location if it is a surprise engagement you are wanting captured!

I also have some fun and creative ideas for proposals so if you have been thinking of popping the question and don't know to really start, let me help you with some possibilities!

    Mariah photographed our engagement session and we had so much fun! My partner is not very comfortable with photos so I thought it would be a struggle, but she was so easy going, friendly, and gave awesome prompts to help us feel natural. We booked her for our wedding this coming year because we were so happy with our photos and our experience! Mariah got our photos back quickly and they were even better than we envisioned.

  • Kayleigh & Dalton

    Mariah is an incredibly talented photographer who always captures the perfect images! I’ve been lucky enough to have her capture a variety of photos for me, including my engagement photos and wedding reception. She always makes you feel comfortable and produces exceptional quality images. I will always recommend her for anyone needing a photographer!

  • Jordan K.

    Mariah is fun and professional, she took our engagement photos and was willing to brave a cold snowy day for us! She came prepared, had so many great ideas and the photos turned out incredible. Everyone who sees them asks who the photographer was!

FAQs

  • Depending on the time of year your engagement takes place, galleries can take anywhere between 1 week to 1 month to be delivered. Peak season is between June-September so you can expect any albums during those months to take a little longer than usual!

  • The amount of photos you receive can range anywhere from 30-50 photos for every hour I am scheduled for your session!

    The fluctuation in number can be due to a few different circumstances including the location of your engagement and the events that occur during. The good news is oftentimes I take and send much more than quoted!

  • For booking, please complete my Inquiry form. After it is confirmed that I have your requested day available, I will send you a contract to sign as well as 1/3 of the session fees are required to reserve your special day in my calendar. Your remaining balance will be due 1 week prior to your booked session.

  • The answer to this question is easy... yes, yes, YES.

    I am so in love with travel and experiencing new locations & environments for capturing different love stories that I will be there in a heartbeat to capture your engagement. Usually when I get an inquiry for an out of province or international session, i'm already looking up flights to your location for your requested date!

    On that note, I am flexible for travel outside of BC as well as outside of Canada. Send me your dream location and lets make it happen!
