    Highly recommend!

    Working with Mirelle and her team was an absolute dream! From the very beginning, she was professional, kind, and incredibly talented. I’m usually shy in front of the camera and don’t love getting my picture taken, but Mirelle made me feel completely comfortable and at ease. She captured our wedding day so beautifully, and looking at the photos now, I’m so grateful to have such stunning memories to relive every moment.

    Beyond the wedding day itself, Mirelle also helped us design gorgeous wedding albums for us and our parents, which turned out to be the perfect thank-you gifts. The quality and thoughtfulness she put into them made them so special.

    I cannot recommend Mirelle highly enough! If...

    Hire Mirelle!

    Mirelle is continuously a joy to work with. From a fellow vendor perspective, she gives her all to clients on wedding days and her deliverables are truly of the utmost quality. She is also truly just a joy to be around! She is collaborative, positive, and professional. Hire Mirelle and you will not regret it!

    Mirelle was a dream of a photographer in every way possible!!!

    Mirelle was a dream of a photographer in every way possible!!! Not only were they the most beautiful photos ever but she took the time to understand what we wanted. From the first meeting to engagement photos, to the many calls between and then the wedding day, she made it fun and easy for people who don't love being in front of the camera. She helped us stay on schedule all day and I truly could not have been happier with Mirelle. ALSO the photos were a dream, they way she made the colors pop and her editing style is so timeless. I cannot wait to frame these photos and use them the rest of my life.

    The Best Photos

    I can't say enough good things about Mirelle and the amazing photos she took at our wedding in San Diego. From the moment we met her, we knew she was the perfect photographer for our special day. She was professional, friendly, and easy to work with throughout the entire process.

    On the day of the wedding, Mirelle was a true master of her craft. She captured every moment with such artistry and attention to detail, and the resulting photos are simply breathtaking. We are so grateful to have such beautiful memories of our big day, and Mirelle's talent and dedication truly shine through in each and every shot.

    We highly recommend Mirelle to anyone in need of...

    Best Photographer

    Mirelle is a must hire for your photography needs! Mirelle was our wedding, rehearsal and engagement photographer and we can't recommend her enough. Mirelle is so sweet, very professional and is extremely talented. Our photos are beautiful, perfectly lit and natural. She made the hours of photo taking completely painless and fun. She knew the important moments to focus on and brought our wedding to life through the photos. We love Mirelle and will absolutely hire her again for our family photo needs.

    Thank you Mirelle!!

Her skill set is beyond expectation and she delivers a beautiful, thoughtful package each and every time. We work with her as often as we can and refer her to as many as we can. Keep up the excellent work!

    Our wedding

    I was referred to Mirelle for my engagement and wedding photography after seeing her work from my friend’s wedding a few years before. Mirelle is so incredibly talented, warm, caring and above all else professional in her work. You can tell she takes great pride and responsibility to capture these timeless moments in the most perfect way. In these times of the quarantine, we have been looking back at these pictures and will so throughout our lives, and it instantaneously brings us back to the happy times and beautiful shapshots. I plan to use Mirelle for all my future events and beyond!

    Best photographer we could have ever hoped for!

    Our pictures came out amazing! Mirelle was an absolute pleasure to work with. We have had a lot of friends get married and come back with mediocre photos, and we were so so grateful that we found such a terrific photographer. Not only were there nice pictures of us, but they did a terrific job capturing the day as a whole. We can't recommend her enough!

    Love love love mirelle

    I cannot express how incredible Mirelle was for us! Her photographs--both of our engagement and wedding--were OUT OF THIS WORLD BEAUTIFUL. I can't even comprehend how amazing her photography is. Every image is honestly a stand-alone art piece. I can’t tell you how many compliments we’ve received on the engagement and wedding photos we have shared.

    Not only will you absolutely, positively get the most beautiful photographs with Mirelle, you also get an amazing person! Mirelle was so helpful, fun, responsive throughout both our engagement photo shoot and wedding photo shoot. Mirelle has such a warm, amazing personality that my husband and I (who are extremely shy about taking photos) felt soooo at ease and comfortable.

    Mirelle was wonderful from start to finish. Choosing her as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made. She was professional, flexible, very friendly, and her photos were breathtaking! Photography was the largest part of our wedding budget, and we absolutely made the right choice.

    Right from the beginning, we were totally enamored with her photojournalistic style and the beautiful way she works with light and color. We contacted her and hit it off immediately. Over the months, we got to know Mirelle better, from her great sense of humor and love of dinosaurs, to her delightful and talented family. (Including her sister, Cheryl, who is her second shooter and a fantastic photographer.) On the day...

    Mirelle is an amazing photographer with a great eye for detail, perfect at capturing light and making her subjects contrast beautifully. Whether the photo is of a person or object it has a sparkle to it that draws the eye and is simply breath taking. As a person she makes everyone around her at ease, directs poses for the shy subjects and keeps the mood joyful and relaxed. I appreciated most her attention to detail such as when hairs are out of place, clothing is disheveled, or a shot just isn't working as planned. She responded promptly to emails/phone calls, worked hard to get every shot we asked for, and suggested other shots as well. I would recommend her...

    Mirelle and her assistant Cheryl photographed my wedding in April 2012.

    Mirelle is an amazing photographer and lovely person. Throughout the planning of my wedding she was quick to respond to my emails and highly professional.

    We had asked for mainly natural and quirky photos, which is what made me choose her in the first place, and Mirelle understood that we did not want to waste our day posing for photos. She made the posed sessions quick and easy. You didn't even know her and Cheryl were there the rest of the time, they floated around in the air!

    I haven't actually received my final photos yet but Mirelle has blogged our wedding on her website...

    Mirelle has been a godsend start to finish. My wedding planner provided me with a list of photographers... I'd never heard of any of them and was basing my opinions of their work solely on their web presence, portfolio, and package offers. (Top on my list: dual photographers, extra hours of coverage, digital negatives.) Mirelle was a perfect fit for our needs. Luckily for us, she is also a super sweet gal! Mirelle was was VERY flexible as it rained week after week... I think we rescheduled our engagement session three times... Mirelle and her sister Cheryl are an amazing team and this didn't faze them at all. We now have some of the most amazing engagement and wedding pictures, photos that we will cherish forever. Thank you, Mirelle. Ben&Tricia

    Mirelle was simply amazing and a breath of fresh air! We were running late on hair and makeup, it was raining, and it was pretty chaotic, but Mirelle was calm and genuinely excited to be taking our pictures! Even my beautician was happy with how great she was. Regardless of the rain, she worked it out without a hitch. In the moments when I was swept up in the moment, she was able to take great photos without me even knowing she was there! I've only seen a few photos, but of what she showed me, I'm really impressed. Can't wait to see the rest! Thanks again Mirelle for being a part of our special day!

    Absolute dream!!!

    Mirelle and her team were an absolute dream to work. We first met Mirelle when she did our engagement photos, and we knew immediately that we made the right choice because she brings such a calm presence and truly made the experience fun and enjoyable. Throughout the wedding planning process, Mirelle was easy to work with and we always felt like we were in good hands.

    During the wedding, Mirelle and her team were perfect. They worked seamlessly with the other vendors and were there to capture every special moment. We had so much fun taking our couples’ portraits with her!!

    Our photos turned out beyond our biggest expectations. Mirelle is incredibly gifted at capturing...

    Hire Mirelle for dreamy, magazine-worthy photos!

    Hire Mirelle for dreamy, magazine-worthy photos! Mirelle was the first vendor that I hired and I remember reaching out and then anxiously hoping, praying, and wishing that she was available on my wedding date. Fortunately, she was available, and I didn’t have to wait long for my response because Mirelle is an extremely communicative vendor! I ended up using Mirelle for my engagement and wedding photos and it was such a great experience and me and my husband (and everyone else, we received so many compliments!) love the photos so much. From Mirelle’s Instagram and website, I knew the photos would turn out well, but I had a hard time believing that our photos would look as good as...

    PERFECT 10/10 Photographer!

    Mirelle was a dream of a photographer in every way! She is professional, responsive, warm, talented, friendly, fun, takes her work seriously - I could go on and on! I interviewed several photographers and did a ton of research, and truly could not have been happier with Mirelle. She and her sister Cheryl shot our wedding and our photos are incredible. Our bridal party and families had great things to say about Mirelle and Cheryl, too! We got married at the Ebell of Los Angeles in June 2022 and did our engagement shoot with Mirelle in LA in August 2021. Both were amazing experiences. My husband and I recommend Mirelle wholeheartedly! She's just incredible.

    Look no further

    Having heard so many times that your wedding day happens in a blink, I knew finding a photographer that would provide long lasting memories for us was a top priority. After speaking with Mirelle over the phone and looking through her portfolio of timeless works of art I knew we had found the one! Her calm and kind demeanor made planning stress-free and she had so many fantastic recommendations for all things wedding. Due to Covid, our original wedding date turned into our engagement shoot. My partner and I are not very comfortable in front of a camera but Mirelle made us feel at ease and we were laughing so much that only did we walk away with beautiful...

    Best wedding photographer!

    Mirelle was by far one of our best wedding vendors. She was very communicative, professional, flexible, and easy to work with since we have been planning our wedding (06/12/2021) a year ago. On our wedding day, she was obviously experienced with knowing ideal locations and poses. She was fun and made us all feel comfortable. What was incredible was that our turnaround time for photos was only 1 week! She was able to capture every moment of the day very artistically. We are in love with every single photograph and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer! Thank you Mirelle for being a dream to work with.

    The BEST Wedding Photographer!

    We are so grateful that we were able to have Mirelle as our wedding photographer. She is simply the BEST! We had a small micro-wedding with just our immediate family, and it was like Mirelle became a part of our family by the end of the day! She is an absolute pleasure to work with and made everyone feel so comfortable. She's fun and kind - the kind of person who you want to spend your special day with. She's also very efficient when it comes to staged photographs which we appreciated so we could spend more time enjoying the moment and capturing candids. Lastly she's incredibly talented. Her portfolio speaks for itself! We couldn't recommend Mirelle more!

    The absolute BEST photographer!!

    Mirelle was such a pleasure to work with. I knew from the moment that my husband and I met her that we would love working with her. She made the entire process relaxing and fun, and she is the absolute sweetest person!

    Mirelle is such a talented photographer. We couldn't be happier with how well our engagement photos and wedding photos turned out. All of the images are so natural looking and the light is just gorgeous. I also love how she shot with film photos in addition to digital. Hiring Mirelle was one of the best decisions I made when it came to my wedding. We are excited to use her again when it comes time to celebrate our future life events! Thank you again for giving us such beautiful photos that we'll cherish forever.

    Professional easy to work with

    Amazing experience! Mirelle was Fantastic! We had chosen Mirelle and did our engagement photos to get more comfortable with our photographer. She made us feel at ease and so excited to see our results! She kept in contact to make sure she had details about the wedding and timelines. She wanted to make sure that we got all the shots. Mirelle always took her time thought out each detail of the pose and made everyone feel comfortable.
