Mersadi has been so awesome to work with, from our initial interviews to the day-of, to final delivery. I love that she took the time to get to know us and get a sense of what was important to us beforehand. I think that was clutch for the day-of, when everyone (especially our mothers) had requests for different photos. She stayed flexible enough to accommodate those requests but also stayed focused on what we wanted. When we wanted to take advantage of a break in rain and extend our beach photo time, she did that and got the most amazing shots. She also coached us through everything in a way that we were able to be candid and goofy but still get stunning photos. Then, she delivered our preview gallery faster than we expected and the full gallery blew our minds. I wish I lived in Hawaii so I could hire for every big moment!

Mersadi and Jay were the best photo and video duo! I always enjoyed my talks with Mersadi leading up to the wedding, then on the wedding day she was always calm, cool, and on top of everything! I used to do photography myself, so I was super picky with finding a photographer, and immediately I fell in love with Mersadi’s work and how awesome of a person she is. She captures moments in such a journalistic approach, while also making the couple feel like models on their special day. You spend your whole day with your photographer and it’s important you and your partner get along with them. By the end of the day, my husband and I felt like we were reconnecting with old friends (with Mersadi and Jay) because they are just so down to earth and easy to get along with. As someone who’s always been behind the camera, I am terrible at being a “model” and Mersadi was always on top of adjusting my hair, giving me options with my hair styles and bouquet, and giving me posing techniques. Then as a huge bonus was the next day we got over 60 sneak peek photos! I couldn’t believe the turn around on those. We cannot wait for the full set and video, but based on what we already have, I know it’s going to be amazing. We hope to work again with Mersadi the next time we find ourselves in Hawaii. She and Jay are an amazing duo. Make sure you hire them, it’ll be the best decision you make!

If you are a new bride and scrolling through photographer after photographer trying to find the right one...STOP SEARCHING! I would trust Mersadi with my big day time and time again. She provided my engagement photos, elopement (thanks COVID) photos & video, and is currently booked for our big celebration next year. Mersadi is the best at capturing your day in the most natural way possible. There are no awkward/stiff poses, but rather she guides you with prompts that end up showing off true laughter and love between you and your partner. She has been unbelievable accommodating through our multiple date changes and helped us plan literally EVERY detail of our dream elopement when all else failed. I promise you that booking her for your wedding will be one of the best decisions you make in the whole planning process!
