It is clear from working with Mercy that she has a huge passion for capturing life's special little moments, and has a unique talent for capturing and creating candid shots that make for invaluable memories for her customers. Our day would not have been the same without her there. My photo shoot with Mercy was so comfortable and I'm very uncomfortable with cameras.

She did a wonderful job of capturing just the right moment before my face feel apart and I blew it. I loved her cheerful and upbeat presence, just right for all the curves I was throwing. Her work is clear and precise. I hope I can work with her again soon. Mercy was the photographer for my recent wedding, and I recommend her to anyone who is looking for high quality photos with a photographer who goes the extra mile at a fantastic value.

I feel incredibly lucky that I came across the Hasselblad page and booked Mercy. Not only did she get all the photographs we wanted, but she got so many candid ones that we will always cherish.

I'm a photojournalistic photographer.
While I always have poses I suggest, my main goal is to make people comfortable, because that makes the best photographs.
I don't interrupt loving moments unless it's an emergency.
Although I carry a busload of equipment to every shoot, I try not to influence the vibe you're creating.
As a professional southern California photographer, I believe it's part of my job to be ready whenever and however things happen.
I won't interrupt, pause, or make you rewind.
My husband and I are both introverts.
The worst part of the wedding was being the center of attention, and I got horrible stage fright right before.
If I were to marry Matt again, we would pick an epic location at the top of a mountain, with a beautiful vista, and marry each other right at sunset.
Eloping, in the past few years, has had a resurgence.
Not because you're pregnant or sneaking away from your parents, or ashamed of your husband, but because weddings have become such a big ordeal that it's really tempting just to skip it.
The best photos happen when a skilled artist knows their subject well.
Engagement photography lets me do that.
I get to know your quirks, your best features, your personalities, and your story.
Knowing that really informs how I take photos the day of the wedding, how I interact with you, and what kind of photos we end up with.
Also, your wedding is likely going to be the most-photographed day in your life (unless you go to London and steal something, haha).
It really helps with your stress level if you have some experience and are comfortable with me!
These are examples of what I charge for wedding photography in Los Angeles, plus wedding videography in LA.
Keep in mind that I do custom quotes quite a bit, so if you're looking for affordable wedding photo packages, just let me know what you're looking for!
If you want to know why wedding photography costs so much, check out this blog.
Travel costs or extra uses: I do NOT charge any extra fees, unless you want a lot of advanced retouching or live more than 100 miles away.
So when we talk location or travel time, the number I give you would simply be the only price you'd ever pay to have me photograph your wedding, get your high resolution photos, and be able to print them anywhere you want.
Maternity photos are amazing.
You're at a time in your life where everything is about to change, and, especially with your first, there's an awe-infused tension that surrounds a couple about to have a baby.
I always encourage people to take pictures at significant times in their lives.
Not just because I'm a photographer.
It's because I had a mother who took beautiful pictures at different stages of our childhoods, and now as an adult, I cherish each of those photos and love looking back at her when she was my age, at me when I was a little girl, etc etc.
