 Hi! My name is Mercy! I believe in capturing moments as they happen, not creating them artificially. I want to encourage people to have fun, interact authentically, and love each other. That’s what makes an amazing photograph.

I’m a photojournalistic photographer. While I always have poses I suggest, my main goal is to make people comfortable, because that makes the best photographs. I don’t interrupt loving moments unless it’s an emergency. Although I carry a busload of equipment to every shoot, I try not to influence the vibe you’re creating. As a professional southern California photographer, I believe it’s part of my job to be ready whenever and however things happen. I won’t interrupt, pause, or make you rewind. I’ve done my job if you barely notice me.

My editing style is true to skin with a slight hint of romantic moodiness. But I also try to tailor my editing style towards a particular couple’s vibe/theme. So if people are dark and gritty, my editing will show that. On the flip side, if your entire wedding is pastels and baby’s breath, my editing will be lighter. I also edit more vibrant if, for example, all the bridesmaids are in hot pink. If none of this makes much sense, check out this blog I wrote on editing styles: A Short Guide to Editing Styles.

As far as who I am: I’m super easy-going, in business and in life. People have told me I made the whole day much less stressful. Marriage is so much more than having a perfect wedding day. Life is so much more than how people look at you. When you can realize that and keep that in your head, nothing can stress you out. I love God and I love the people around me. Simple as that.
