Maine beach engagement ring photo

"Marena was absolutely amazing!!! She made my fiancée and I feel so comfortable during our engagement photo shoot and it really translated in the pictures. Everyone keeps telling me they've never seen engagement photos that look so natural and not forced. She really listened to what we were looking for and the pictures came out beautiful. Truly can't say enough good things!!!"

-Elizabeth and Alec s.

FAQ

 

I'm not comfortable in front of the camera, how do you approach that?

Being nervous or feeling awkward going into a photo experience is SO common! Starting with your inquiry, my process is designed so we can get to know each other so things can feel as comfortable as possible. While I'm photographing you, I use a lot of movement based prompts and really pay attention to what feels genuine to you to capture authentic photos. I also get professional photos done every year so I can put myself in your shoes to create the most seamless experience for you possible.

I have a photography need that's not listed in your offerings, should I still reach out?

Yes! I love photographing a wide variety of projects. I am happy to chat with you about your needs to see if we're a good fit and I can always provide local recommendations if I don't specialize in that type of photography.

How do you keep our photos safe?

Keeping your memories safe is extremely important to me! As I'm photographing you, the photos are being saved onto two memory cards simultaneously. Once I'm home, I backup your photos onto two hard drives. I also upload wedding and elopement photos to a private online service.

Do you travel?

Yes! My home base is in Maine but I love to explore new places. I like to keep it simple and include travel in all the packages I create for you so there are no extra fees.

When should I reach out to book?

I recommend reaching out ASAP! My books are currently open for 2025 and 2026.

Elopements and weddings start booking out 12-18 months in advance HOWEVER I do still have some room for a couple more this year and next!

Sessions start to book out 2-3 months in advance.

Even if you have a last minute request, I would still love to hear from you! It's possible your date is still open.
