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!

Haley & Wyatt
"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."
Jay & Jaxon
“Mariah is an amazing photographer! She is friendly and personable and made my husband and I totally comfortable! Our photos turned out beautiful, I totally recommend!"
Kelsea & Jason
"Mariah is amazing. She is sweet and kind, and really makes you feel comfortable behind the camera! She is also super quick to reply with answers to any questions!! Mariah did our engagement photos and is also doing our 2023 wedding. These are photos you cherish forever and there is no one I’d trust more to capture these moments than her. She’s the best."

HOW SOON WILL WE RECEIVE OUR PHOTOS?Depending on the time of year your wedding takes place, galleries can take anywhere between 2 weeks to 2 months 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!
-
HOW MANY PHOTOS WILL WE RECEIVE?The amount of photos you receive can range anywhere from 50-75 photos for every hour I am scheduled on your day! The fluctuation in number can be due to a few different circumstances including the size of the wedding and the events that occur during the big day. The good news is oftentimes I take and send much more than quoted!
-
WHAT IS THE COST AND HOW DO WE BOOK WITH YOU?My wedding packages start at $2250. They are catered to you to include photography coverage, timeline assistance, & your private online gallery. - Larger packages include a complimentary engagement or anniversary session. - If you are looking for only a couple hours of coverage, let me know and we can look at customizing a package for you :) For booking, please complete my Wedding Inquiry form. After it is confirmed that I have your wedding day available, I will send you a contract to sign as well as 1/3 of the session fees are required to book your day. The balance owing isn't required until 1 week before your wedding day!
-
ARE THERE PERKS TO BOOKING YOU FOR LONGER?I am so glad you asked! Any wedding booked for a minimum of 7 hours will receive a complimentary engagement, anniversary or bridal boudoir session. All other timeframes booked will receive a discount on any of the sessions above too!
-
WILL YOU TRAVEL OUTSIDE OF BRITISH COLUMBIA?The answer to this question is easy... yes, yes, YES. I am so in love with travel and experiencing new locations & environments for capturing weddings that I will be there in a heartbeat to capture your day. Usually when I get an inquiry for an out of province or international wedding, i'm already looking up flights to your location for your wedding 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!
