Every collection is custom designed to fit your Needs
Whether you’re planning an intimate wedding, a full weekend of celebration, or simply want to document your relationship as it is right now, each collection and experience is designed entirely around you.
From couples portraits to full wedding days, I pour so much love into your experience and into the art we create together. I can’t wait to learn who you are and what moves you.
Every Celebration
For couples planning a wedding weekend or multi-day celebration, this collection is designed to tell the full story. From welcome gatherings to farewell brunches, I document the relationships, the layered traditions, and the moments that unfold when everyone you love is together in one place.
This is cohesive, intentional storytelling across multiple events. I document the heart of your entire experience so your gallery tells the whole story of everyone coming together, not just a single day. This collection can include an engagement session, wedding attire session, pre-wedding events, and full wedding-day coverage designed around your timeline.
The Wedding
This is the complete, start-to-finish documentation of your wedding day. With full-day coverage designed around your timeline, there’s room for it all: the anticipation of the morning, the ceremony, golden hour portraits, and the energy of the celebration long after the sun sets.
This collection is for couples who want their day preserved in its entirety. Not just the major events, but everything between getting ready and running off into the night, waving goodbye to all your guests.
The Heirloom
Designed for smaller, deeply personal and intimate wedding days where just being with your people is everything. This collection is for celebrations with under 50 guests and is designed around your timeline, allowing space to document the heart of your celebration without rushing the moments that matter. From getting ready with your closest people to the hugs, the tears, and the joy-filled reception, I’ll be there to document your story with love and intention.

"She helped me feel so confident!"
"Both of our photographers were amazing! Mercedes was the best. She was so helpful every step of the way and hyped me (the bride) up in the best way! She helped me feel so confident! I loved the variety of candid and posed photos! Looking at our gallery felt like we were reliving our wedding day all over again. It was so special :)"

Session Experience
Whether it’s a portrait session, an engagement, or simply a moment in time you want to celebrate, my approach stays the same. I prioritize real connection over anything that feels forced or overly posed.
I’ll guide you as much or as little as you need, affirm what’s beautiful, and stay attuned to the in-between moments that tell the truest story. Because at the end of the day, my goal is simple: when you look at your gallery, I want you to truly see yourselves and feel the love all over again.

+ Collaborative design meeting
+ Digital & film storytelling
+ Highlight Gallery within 1 week
+ Full gallery within 3 weeks
+ Easily order mementos directly from your gallery

How do we move forward?
THE PROCESS
STEP 01
Ensure Alignment
Fill out your contact form and schedule our video call at a time that works best for you. Think of it as a vibe check; we’ll chat about your big day and what you're most excited about. I'll also answer any questions you have and we'll go over process details together.
STEP 02
Make it Official
If it feels like a good fit and you’re ready to move forward, I’ll send over our contract and a link to your invoice so you can make the first payment. Once those are complete, you're officially booked and we’re on this journey together!
STEP 03
Planning & Finalization
We'll have two key check-ins to go over all the details. I'm not the girl to bog you down with endless forms and questionnaires but my line's always open and I'm here to support you however you need.
STEP 04
The Wedding 🥂
Your only job is to show up and have the most fun. Soak in all the love and attention and LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE! I'll already have all the details I need to document your day in a way that runs smoothly- no last minute questions that pull you out of the moment. Disgusting.
STEP 05
Highlight Gallery
You get this one week after your wedding day. It's the full, highly curated story of your day and includes a couple images from each part of the day.
STEP 06
Full Gallery Delivery
Delivered within four weeks and not a day over! I'm able to deliver this quickly because I take on a limited number of weddings each year. Your experience is my top priority.
STEP 07
Album Design Support
Creating an album directly from your gallery is simple and can be very fun to do together but I'm here to help if you simply don't have the time or just want a little help.
Let's press pause on your most cherished memories
Wherever They Unfold.
