    Amazing photographer!

    Maria was awesome to work with. Super responsive, kind, and helpful. During our shoot she made us feel comfortable and guided us in positions throughout the whole thing.

    Beyond happy we chose Maria to do our wedding photos

    I literally can't say enough about Maria and how we're so thrilled about our micro-wedding photos.

    Every single person we show (from family to coworkers, orthodontist and everyone in between) is stunned at how beautiful they are. Everyone asks where I found her and what her name is. The orthodontist tech saw my photos yesterday and all she could say was "I wish I your photographer at my wedding, I can't even look at my wedding photos or hang them up because they're so bright"

    I feel very blessed to have had this experience.

    Her communication and commitment to making couples happy is unparalleled, especially with such a high emotional time like weddings. Very personable and friendly and every time I've talked with her from planning to post wedding she has shown nothing but genuine care and love for what she does and the people she serves truly an angel

    The only thing I would change is making our wedding longer to get more photos LOL!! but everything was captured great as I look at the time we did spend.

    Please do yourself a favor and if you want photos that you'll be happy with forever, hire Maria!

    Best Photographer

    Maria was the most amazing photographer, vendor and event pro anyone could ask for. She is patient, collaborative, informative and is a true master of her craft. Her work is honestly gorgeous. She is responsive, kind, professional and genuinely kind. During our wedding, we never felt her "near" and for our intimate ceremony of 28 guests but she managed to capture every detail, all of our guests and embraced the spirt of our wedding. She navigated us and our 2 young kids through a very windy and on/off rainy day to produce mind blowing photographs. We got our pictures back so quickly and we were SHOCKED how she was literally everywhere taking all the angles. Perfect would be the word we would use and can't wait to find more wonderful life moments in our future for her to capture. We could not have dreamed of a better experience.

    Maria's the best!!

    We chose Maria for our elopement photographer because her portfolio is gorgeous. Not only is she an extremely talented photographer, she's also a wonderful person. Maria was lovely to work with as she helped find the perfect locations and talked us through the process every step of the way. We knew our pictures would be amazing after seeing her work but we were blown away by how many photos we got and how beautiful they are. She completely captured our day being professional and prepared to tackle our elopement schedule. She also got our photos back to us so fast--we had a large sneak peak album to go through when we returned from our honeymoon! HIGHLY recommend Maria for any of your photography needs!

    A wonderful time

    Maria made every effort to connect with us during our special day - engaging in conversation, sharing laughs and stories. The love and passion she carries with her work shines through beautifully in not only the finished product, but each moment of our time shared together. From beginning to end, it was such a stress-free process and I highly recommend her.

    Thanks so much Maria!!

    More than we could ever hope for!!

    If you need a wedding photographer, Maria is the one you are looking for!! Seriously she is the best and I believe our wedding day was THAT much better because of her. When I reached out to Maria I had also reached out to some other potential photographers and Maria was the only one who replied in a very personable manner. She was so friendly from the very beginning, just as excited as we were for the wedding day and truly went out of her way to make us comfortable and have a good relationship with her! She also went above and beyond offering to help in finding other vendors if we needed. When we got our engagement pictures back I knew that we had made the right decision in choosing Maria! On our wedding day she showed up early and directed us in a way that was nice but structured. She had our gallery sneak peek back to us within a few days of the wedding and we got the entire gallery back about a month later!! I am soooo happy we met Maria and we have such beautiful pictures to look back on and will be forever grateful!!!!

    Stop your search, you’ve come to the right place

    If you are looking for an AMAZING photographer, Mimi is your go to. She is so professional, talented, and really brings your photos to life! She made our wedding day so special, and was so observant! She provided a sneak peek only a few days after the wedding which I really appreciate because we were so excited to see how the photos came out. She goes above and beyond for her clients! It was truly magical reliving our wedding day through the photos.

    I couldn’t recommend a better photographer!

    Maria is amazing!! Our wedding photos are beautiful

    Maria is AMAZING! She captured such beautiful moments at our wedding and engagement shoot. Both my husband and I are quite shy, but Maria made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She made sure to take both candid shots and posed photos. Maria's communication was great, and she was very flexible with times/days for our engagement shoot. Day of the wedding she was efficient with the time for photos before and after the wedding. Her work is truly amazing!

    Stunning photos

    Mimi gave us gorgeous images that captured the atmosphere of our wedding and our family in a magical way. Our wedding photos are seriously STUNNING. Her artist vision for capturing both the atmosphere with the people makes her work shine. I hate getting my photo taken and was worried about having to spend hours with a camera around me; Mimi is magic, a joy to work with and knows exactly how to create beautiful images that capture moments effortlessly. To say we love our wedding pictures is an understatement.

    Not only is she skilled and gifted with her camera and fun to work with, but she is prompt, professional and communicative at every step of the process. Her genuine warmth and professionalism gave me the security I needed to fully be present in the wedding rather then worrying about the logistics. I was confident every step of the way. From booking the event to making the final selection of our images – I felt like I had 100% of her attention and focus. It is rare for such a great artistic photographer to also be an astute business woman.

    Her eye and talent as a photographer gave us pictures that we treasure. Any time we need photos – Mimi is without question our girl! I cannot wait to work with her again. I am so thankful for all she did for us, for her vision and talent and capturing the emotion and essence of our elopement. I know she will continue making more people delighted with her beautiful photos.

    Professionals and Talented!


    If you are looking for a photographer, you won’t go wrong with MSphotoandvideo. Maria and Shane are very professional. They are communicative and responsive. It was very windy and cold on our wedding day & even with the weather condition, Maria and Shane took beautiful photographs. They were able to capture our special moments and more. They take pride in their work and it shows in the photographs they produced. I definitely recommend them!

    Maria is so wonderful to work with!! One of the big things I wanted out of an engagement and wedding photographer was someone who knows how to use light well and she exceeded all expectations! She’s super good at communicating and provided our photos back to us so fast!! Would highly recommend.

    Wonderful Time with Amazing Photographer

    MS Photo and Video was wonderful to work with. Mimi and Shane helped us pick the perfect setting and helped capture amazing photos. They were very professional and were very responsive to all of our questions. Our engagement shoot with MS Photo was a wonderful experience and we could not have asked for anything better. We would highly recommend MS Photo and Video!

    Romantic Storytelling

    We are so thankful to Mimi and Shane for giving us the most beautiful wedding video. We felt like their artistry really captured who we are as a couple, and through their creative work they told our love story. Watching our video felt like we were actually watching a movie, and not your typical wedding video. The different shots and angles of our ceremony and venue were brilliant, and showed all the magnificence of that day. We really enjoyed how beautifully each shot weaved into the next, and the inventive combination and utilization of props. For example, the shot of the ring with the bouquet was simply gorgeous, as the morganite gem glistened beautifully against blush pink petals. Our hearts were filled with love seeing the romantic and enchanting moments that they captured between us--- shy glances at each other, reaching for the other's hand, heartfelt gazes.... For our highlight video, we were so surprised by how well the songs Shane picked matched our personalities---it was as if they were written and composed for just us!
    They captured every important detail of our wedding, and then some. Needless to say, as the couple, you are going to be so busy and overwhelmed with joy, and your happiest day will go by far too quick. Therefore, it was such a wonderful feeling to watch all of those life-changing moments again and again, knowing you will never forget a word that was said or a glance that was exchanged.
    Mimi and Shane were so fast and courteous with their responses. When they were busy, they communicated this respectfully and let us know how soon they'd get back to us. They took the time twice at our request to talk over the phone and discuss details of the day. As the bride, I also have to say, they did a tremendous job at keeping me calm the day of the wedding. They were really personable, easy to talk to, professional, and kind, and you felt really celebrated by them. I was under a lot of stress right before the wedding, but with Mimi reminding me what the day meant to me, I immediately relaxed, and was able to enjoy every second afterwards.
    We also wanted to point out just how professional they are. We had hired a friend of ours to photograph the wedding, and we were so impressed by how respectfully they worked together. I think often you fear rivalry when you have two artists in the room (in this case, three), but they collaborated and shared the space with high regard to each other. They took turns getting video and photos, and were mindful of everyone's time.
    We cannot recommend them enough. We are so thankful for everything they did for us, for their vision and artistry, and we know they are going to make another couple extremely happy!

    Pink Light Photography's reply:

    Hello Frosan and Mike,

    It was our pleasure to be part of the most important day of your life.
    I am glad you loved the results. I wish the best in your new life as a married couple.

    Shane and Mimi were fantastic! They caught so many important moments and did a great job capturing our engagement photos and video. They worked their magic to make sure my fiancé and I were not awkward looking during our engagement photos (because we usually don't like taking photos) and brought out the best of us . Our photos/video turned out gorgeous and we could not be more thrilled. I would definitely recommend using MS Photo and Video!

    Shane was the videographer for our wedding last month, and we are very happy with the whole experience. He was very easy to talk to, and responded to emails right away. He was patient with our changing plans, and was very professional from beginning to end. He worked quickly to give us back the raw footage and highlight video. The final videos captured really special moments. We would definitely recommend Shane!

    Mimi and Shane are an exceptional photo/video team. We highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a wedding photographer and/or videographer. They helped us capture our wedding in May 2018 in Capitola, CA. They helped us develop a plan for the day to make sure we capture all the photos we wanted. We found the planning bit very helpful. The photos and videos they produced exceeded our expectations. We got some photos back right away, and they had everything ready for us within just a few weeks. Mimi and Shane were very responsive and always available to meet in person or to answer questions by email. We felt that they were like family! Mimi and Shane, thank you guys so very much again!!

    If you are looking for a wedding photographer and videographer around the Bay Area, look no further! MSPhoto and Video is run by an amazing team - Mimi and Shane. The team is very easy and friendly to work with during photoshoots and is speedy, yet thorough with their edits. Not only that, but they exceed in other qualities such as...setting clear expectations, communicating their process and coordinating the shoot. Most importantly, they know how to work and collaborate with you and your needs!

    My photos turned out to be simply beautiful and breathe taking!! I can't wait to print them and share them with my friends and family.

    I highly recommend them and it was worth every penny and beyond!

    I am so glad that we hired Mimi and Shane. They both were super easy to work with and they gave us exactly what we wanted. They both were extremely professional. They knew their cameras and angles really well and they captured everything so perfectly. Be it close detailed shots or far ones. The pictures turned out super nice, honestly felt like they were from a magazine. Would recommend them to anyone looking for a photographer!
