Mercy was a godsend, and I don’t know if I appreciated her more for her photos themselves (which are STUNNING) or for the easy experience of working with Mercy.

I spent hours hunting for photographers, reading their complicated bios, and filling out their ridiculous questionnaires just to get a (ridiculously overpriced) quote, before FINALLY stumbling across Mercy. The moment I found her website with her sweet blurb about wishing she and her husband had skipped all the wedding stress and just eloped on a mountain with their friends, I knew I was in the right place. Her website had a simple contact form rather than a 20 question survey and she provided her incredibly AFFORDABLE prices upfront. (Honestly, she could charge double what she does.)

Her photos of our elopement in Big Sur soared above our expectations and captured us perfectly without making us feel awkward of cheesy. She was our officiant, photographer, and essentially my maid of honor when I had a wardrobe malfunction. My husband and I’s wedding day was so lovely and stress-free because of Mercy, who drove over 12 hours to shoot our elopement with only a-week-and-a-half notice. She also brought two cameras, including a Hasselblad (film) camera that took the sweetest, vintage-looking photos of us. Our photos have surpassed our expectations and all of our family and friends who have seen them have been stunned by the quality and quantity of shots. One friend remarked that several photos looked like they could be a Vogue cover.

In the future, if/when we need a photographer again, Mercy will be our first call.

Mercy shot so many beautiful elopement pictures for us and I don't even know where to begin. We had to rapidly change our wedding plans into an elopement, as we have a terminally ill family member. We are so lucky to have found her & have been able to secure her, just a few weeks beforehand. She was incredibly compassionate, warm, and understanding. The way that she photographed our family with such radiance... it was so far beyond my imagination. From the beginning, she was helpful in giving tips for for obtaining marriage license & the process in general (& she is ordained, what a bonus). She was very communicative and easy to talk to. We felt like she was our friend by the end of the shoot. She laughed with us and the photoshoot felt so comfortable (for 2 very shy people who don't know a clue about posing). She also came almost 1 hour early & our family ended up showing up very early too. She did not hesitate to begin shooting for us right there & then. Her prices are very fair & our pictures came back the next day, which I have no idea how she was able to accomplish. You will not regret hiring her. We had an amazing time, good vibes all around, and we thank Mercy for capturing irreplaceable memories for us.

I was drawn to Mercy's work right away due to it's personal and down-to-earth vibe and we are so glad that we hired her! She is extremely hard working, responsive, and kind. She captured my husband and I's personality in our wedding photos perfectly and she got us all of our photos back 3 DAYS after the wedding. That is unheard of! On top of being a great photographer, Mercy also helped us with coordinating our timeline and acting as a calming and supportive presence on our special day. She also helped bustle my dress when none of my bridesmaids could figure it out! My husband and I are so grateful for the great photographer and person that we found in Mercy.
