Congrats on your engagement! I’ve photographed over 100 weddings now, but they’re still one of the most joyful events to photograph. They RADIATE with love – from you and your surrounding family & friends.
Time flies so fast when you’re a parent! Family portraits are an excellent way to press pause on time and celebrate every bit of joy that comes with being a family.
Engagement sessions are included in each wedding collection, but if you have other plans for your wedding and want a standalone session to celebrate your engagement, this is for you.
Congrats on your engagement! I’ve photographed over 100 weddings now, but they’re still one of the most joyful events to photograph. They RADIATE with love – from you and your surrounding family & friends. Of course, you want everything to go smoothly on the day – you’ve had it planned for months now, if not years. With me, you don't have to worry that your photographer isn't catching every moment as it happens. I always bring along a second shooter, so we’ve got every shot covered –the candid, the posed, the romantic, and the light-hearted!
Each wedding collection also comes with a free engagement session – perfect to add another cherished moment to the album and put your mind at ease about being photographed on the big day.
Time flies so fast when you’re a parent! Family portraits are an excellent way to press pause on time and celebrate every bit of joy that comes with being a family. My portraits don't just capture your connection as a whole. I capture the relationship between each individual family member, with a mixture of posed, silly, and candid shots. And you’re more than welcome to bring along the family furbaby!
Parents – I know the stress that you might be feeling at the thought of bringing the kids along to a family shoot. Worry not! I come prepared with lots of distractions for the kids, with games to play, toys, and even candy to bribe (if bribery is your thing!). And alongside my camera, I’ll also bring along a bluetooth speaker so we can all jam out and have fun.

My favorite part about shooting couple photos is when the guard goes down and the love and excitement comes out. Shot around sunset with a mixture of posed and candid images, with the option to bring along your own props, we’ll make your session a breeze of romance, laughter, and a whole lot of personality!

My no.1 suggestion is to dress comfortably, because when you’re comfortable, you feel much more relaxed. For group photos, pick 3-4 colors for contrast so you’re not too matchy-matchy. Moms – I recommend choosing your outfit first, and basing everyone else’s off of yours.
Of course!

Markina is absolutely amazing!! She is very organized, social, creative and easy to work with. She did our engagement and wedding photos and it was wonderful knowing she was in charge and we did not have to worry about managing any of the small details because she was always on the ball. All of her photos have turned out amazing, we continue to get compliments on them to this day and they are something we've become very proud of. Can't recommend Markina enough!
Markina is beyond talented! Her photos are perfection, absolutely beautiful. She is the sweetest, kindest person ever. She’s very responsive to messages and the investment you pay for photos is extremely affordable. She will always be our family photographer. I would recommend her to anyone!
She made sure to get photos of the big events as well as small details. I appreciated that she was so organized for the formal family portraits. She even offered to take additional formal photos for our extended family, after the official wedding portraits were done. And, I appreciated Markina’s wisdom in knowing how to schedule our day – she was super-organized and made it easy for us to relax and just enjoy. Markina B Photography just really went above and beyond. Highly recommended!
