Meet Your Wedding Photographer
Hello! I'm Mercedes.
I like to think of photography as something that connects us all to the people who came before us. People we've never met but, through stories and photographs, we've grown to know and love.
In so many words, this is my WHY:
Because life is beautiful, time moves too quickly, and every loved one who came before us had their own story. A story that helped shape us whether we know it or not. I want you and the people who love you to see how deeply you've loved and how beautifully you've lived. I hope you all treasure the art that we create because nothing feels more aligned with my love of this craft than that hope and that pursuit.
“Mercedes was an absolute DREAM!!! She was filled with so much JOY- she was kind, patient, and wasn't afraid to pose us (which I appreciate- we are not models!!) Everyone I spoke to was so impressed with her attitude, her helpfulness, and just how joyful she was!!!! I cannot get over how kind she was!!! Our pictures are a TREASURE. They are each so beautiful, and I could not have asked for better photos that capture such sweet moments of our wedding day. She was SNEAKY with her photo taking!!”

I’ve photographed over 170 weddings, and I approach each one with love and the full attention it deserves. The connection we build allows me to move through your day tuned into your values, your people, and what matters most to you.
I’m a big softie but it’s a huge part of what makes me good at what I do. I'm tuned into the tiny, meaningful moments and the reactions to unexpected ones as they unfold. Those are the memories you’ll treasure years from now. Because of that, your family portait list is the only list I work from. Your wedding day is so much more than a checklist of expected moments, and I truly believe a rigid "shot list" can pull you out of the experience instead of deeper into it.
Of course, I capture the timeless, smiling-at-the-camera portraits and thoughtful detail photos. They matter. But the images that grow most meaningful over time are often the in-between ones. The unposed, lived-in moments that reveal the heart of you and your people.
I document your day with intention and an intuitive eye, offering guidance when it’s helpful while staying grounded in what feels real and true to you.
In short: you can trust me to go beyond expectations, anticipate needs, and artfully capture the big and small moments that make your wedding uniquely yours.
