Marilyn was great for our engagement couples session in Central Park. We came from out of town to have our photos done in New York, and she was very flexible giving us options in case of weather and travel mishaps. She delivered our photos when promised, and they turned out really great! We would definitely book with her again/recommend.

Details: Candid • Natural or environmental • Traditional posed • Outdoors • One location • 11 - 20 shots • Online or digital proofs and prints • $$ (standard) • I travel to the engagement photographer

Marilyn is a dream. I was super nervous about finding someone to take our engagement photos but we are so happy we ended up choosing her -- after reading all her rave reviews and doing a bit of image stalking. She is adorable, super sweet, and her work is stunning. Even though we only met when it was time for the shoot, she made us feel like we were with an old friend, making our-awkward-selves a thousand times more comfortable. Thank you for a wonderful session, Marilyn! If you are on the fence, don't be. She's great and you will end up with some beautiful images to help remind you of a special day!

Details: Couples portrait • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Artistic (focus on composition, lighting) • Candid (captured in the moment) • Outdoors • 6 - 10 shots • Digital or online download • The portrait photographer travels to me

Marilyn Lamana PhotographyEngagement Shoot (Paid for an extra half hour / extra location): Pros: Marilyn is energetic, adaptable, great sunny & professional demeanor. Cons: A less experienced photographer, her camera kit does not have a ton of lenses, etc. (it is really just her and her trusty camera). Months before we ended up doing the actual engagement shoot, we began communicating with Marilyn. She is professional & responsive (whether through email or text). Unfortunately, my fiancé’s grandfather passed away shortly after our engagement & Marilyn was lovely & patient with us while we healed. May 11th, 2019 at 6 am we met for our engagement photo shoot in the Dumbo / Brooklyn Bridge area. Marilyn is energetic and adaptable. She met us at 6 am and somehow managed a demeanor rivaling the rising sun. She was always willing to stop & take photos in random spots that spoke to us as a couple between the areas we were intentionally heading. She managed to grab sneaky candid shots I was unaware she was taking, as my fiancé Sam, putting his hat on me and me bopping him with it. She was more than on board with grabbing shots in random spots that spoke to us & while we intentionally went to my fiancé’s parents’ brownstone (for the quintessential Brooklyn shot) she was completely fine with also grabbing impromptu shots in the backyard. Overall, we loved our experience with Marilyn & intend to use her for our wedding photography as well. Marilyn is an absolute joy to work with & her energy is contagious. However, if you want overly stylized or photoshopped final pictures or a photographer to pose you & bring props, this is not the photographer for you. The final pictures were gorgeous, but us (which is exactly what we wanted).

Details: Candid style (captured in the moment) • Artistic style (focus on composition, lighting) • Outdoors • One location • 21 - 30 shots • Online or digital proofs and prints • Ability to purchase prints online • $$ (standard) • The engagement photographer travels to me
