Gloria Mesa Photography

our expectations throughout the entire planning process, engagement photo experience, and wedding photo experience as well. Let me start by saying, my husband (!) and I are NOT comfortable in front of a camera, and Gloria instantly set us at ease with her kind and warm personality, and gave us just the right amount of direction and cueing for us to feel and look like ourselves during the engagement photo process, but also look GOOD. On the wedding day, she took charge and kept us on time while capturing all of the important moments in the same manner. My entire wedding party, and my guests, could not stop telling me how wonderful she was to work with. When I received my photos today, I was blown away. She truly managed to capture all of the important moments beautifully, from posed to candids, to detail shots and beyond. I will treasure these for the rest of my life and am so grateful to have had this special day captured by Gloria. If you are seeking a photographer to make you feel comfortable and enjoy being photographed, while capturing beautiful images, Gloria Mesa has my highest recommendation.

lly as important, is how comfortable she made us feel. She made two awkward individuals look magical and put us at ease so that we were able to actually enjoy the process. We never once felt rushed. Rather she tried taking thing from many angles and different approaches and she always kept our wants and desires in mind. I cannot sing her enough praises. She’s a true professional with great talent, but she’s also a beautiful soul. You enjoy being in her presence and hope to keep in touch when the event is all over. By placing your trust in Gloria, you know your event is in good hands. Thank you for everything!

softly lit, ethereal and editorial quality photos. As soon as we met with her we knew she was the one for us- the connection and attention to detail. One other great part of working with her is that she knew our venue (Quail Ranch) very well so then picking Gloria was the obvious choice. But the best part about using Gloria for photography (apart from the amazing pictures) is how comfortable she makes you feel! She is very professional and walked us through so many things we needed help or explanation. You want someone who is going to make you feel comfortable, and Gloria did just that. We feel she went above and beyond. By the end of our engagement photos and wedding day, Gloria felt more like a longtime friend than someone we hired. And, of course, our photos turned out INCREDIBLE. We absolutely love them. I highly, highly recommend Gloria.

ates getting his picture taken, but Gloria made him so comfortable he finally admitted it was fun! She captures both posed and spontaneous moments flawlessly, and we love looking back on all the exceptional pictures! Couldn't recommend her strongly enough!

handled a wedding of a hundred guests by herself without any problem. She set up all the shots we asked her to; got wonderful candid shots; and got great pictures even of those guests who are very camera shy. We highly recommend Gloria Mesa.

hots. We could not have picked a better photographer for our wedding! Thank you, Gloria!

e you pose you so you look natural and look good

of that, she's such a joy to work with -- so cheerful and patient, so professional but easy-going. We really couldn't have been happier with our decision to have Gloria photograph our wedding experience :)

ial including those hard to please family members lol. Our wedding pictures are absolutely stunning! I love looking at them over and over again (almost 2 years later).

keep everyone on track before the wedding, kept me and my husband calm, was careful to make sure she got every photo on our list (and so much more), and was amazingly nice to our friends, family, and 2 dogs. In addition to our love for Gloria as a person, her work is outstanding and our photos are spectacular! Our guests all joked that Gloria was like a Ninja - she was dressed professionally in all black and was never in the way but managed to come out of no where to get amazing shots of everything at our wedding. She caught every spontaneous group photo and even got shots of our guests before the ceremony which was such a fun surprise! The pictures from our ceremony are stunning and the moments she captured throughout the entire day are just so special. I could not be happier with our experience working with Gloria and her team! I would highly recommend her and hope we can work with her again in the future.

the moment we first meant Gloria we knew she was the right fit. Not only is her website amazing, but at our first meeting she brought a few books displaying her beautiful work in print. We had a year to prepare for the wedding and during that time we kept in touch with her bouncing ideas around and how we envisioned our day to go! She was more than willing to make that come true for us, getting the shots we asked for was very important to her. We dragged her all over the place and she didn't mind a bit! She worked well with my other vendors particularly our videographer to ensure he got the footage he needed as well. She has 4 different packages I believe you can choose from to fit your needs and budget! I wish I could share my beautiful photos on here who knows maybe you will see them on her website. Gloria thank you for your hard work and dedication to our vision, you truly are an amazing photographer as well as a kind, loving and sincere human being! Thanks for making our day so special!! Love shell

b! A request from my husband was to take a picture with every table (we had 35 tables each of 12 people) and they organized this "mission" so smoothly!! We were amazed how they were able to organize so many ppl in a small amount of time that we had set aside for it! She has tons of creativity and it works and she makes you feel so comfortable! She was referred to us by friends that got married last year! We can't are talking about her to the rest of our friends!! Everyone at the wedding was amazed by her aswell! Will hire her any other events we may have!!

absolutely stunning photos - she's got a great eye and knows how to utilize her backgrounds, lighting and capture your personality! I plan to use her for pregnancy and baby photos one day.

er that we were going to choose her. From our first meeting with her, she was kind, caring, funny and so professional. She has a personality that nobody can beat! On our wedding day, not only was she on time to everything, she made sure that everyone stayed on schedule all day. She made me and Joe feel so special and she truly captured every important moment of the day.

ys professional and really knows how to make people comfortable so she can capture the perfect picture. Her style is just beautiful! Pictures are such an important piece to weddings and being able to relive the special day; we feel so lucky to have had Gloria capturing our special day.
