Sisterhood, Style & Storybook Scenery: A Couture Photo Session at Mary Coffin Gardens
What do you get when you pair couture dresses, two beautiful sisters, and one of Delaware’s most enchanting hidden gems? A dreamy photo shoot straight out of a fairytale. Recently, I had the absolute joy of photographing these two sisters at Mary Coffin Gardens in Delaware, and it was pure magic from beginning to end.
These sisters shared sweet smiles in their couture gowns during our magical garden photo shoot at Mary Coffin Gardens in Delaware.
As a New Jersey portrait photographer who specializes in fine art photography, I love traveling for special sessions—and Mary Coffin Gardens was so worth the trip. From secret garden vibes to lush walkways draped in greenery, this place is a photographer’s dream. Add two girls dressed to the nines in luxe, layered couture gowns, and it felt like we were creating a scene from a royal novel.
The girls shared sweet moments, big giggles, and even a few sassy twirls. Their connection as sisters was the heart of this session, and the way they lit up in this romantic garden setting? Just chef’s kiss.
Twirls, laughter, and sisterly joy—these three lit up the garden in their couture gowns during this playful Delaware photo shoot.
Why Mary Coffin Gardens Is the Perfect Backdrop

Couture + Connection = Pure Magic
We styled the sisters in rich, detailed couture gowns that shimmered in the natural light. Think flowing tulle, delicate lace, and timeless silhouettes. These dresses aren't just outfits—they're part of the storytelling. And when paired with this lush, garden atmosphere? Absolute art.
