So creative
I would choose her over and over again ❤️❤️❤️
Gloria was a pleasure to work with from our first meeting, and was absolutely fantastic on the day of our wedding! Gloria has incredible attention to detail and is hands-on and res...
ponsive with her clients. She arrived early on our wedding day to get all the details set up, and even stayed later than our contract to get some special shots at the end of the night. Gloria strategized with us a couple of days before the wedding on how to best approach our detailed shot list within our timeline, which put us at ease on the day of our wedding. Gloria was so warm and approachable when working with all of our family and friends, but she also runs a tight ship, maximizing the time to capture all the special moments - a perfect combination! Last but certainly not least was a beautiful personalized gallery sorted by category for us to relive our special day - Gloria is so talented and did an amazing job capturing all aspects of our wedding day. The photos all turned out beautiful and are of such high quality.
Wow! I referred Gloria Mesa to one of my clients who was having a last minute party. I can truly say that Gloria was the best photographer for my client!
First of all she goes abo...
ve and beyond for the clients. When I asked to drive last minute for an engagement shoot, Gloria was a YES and that totally impressed my clients and they were so happy. She also understood their culture and got to know exactly what they wanted and expect on Party Day.
At the party, she arrived early and stayed a bit later as she wanted to make sure she got every shot. We were all blown away by the beautiful pictures. I will definately refer Gloria again and again as she is warm wonderful and extremely talented.
Definately hire Gloria. You will be extremely happy!
Gloria Mesa is the BEST wedding photographer. She makes everyone feel so comfortable and each photo just got better and better.
Gloria was the easiest and best choice we made while planning our wedding. She was responsive, helpful and just an absolute pleasure to work with. We received so many compliments f...
rom our guests and family about her and her assistant. She also did our engagement photos and honestly we were blown away with her work. She’s experience and it really shows. I cannot recommend Gloria enough.
If you're looking for a wedding photographer, look no further - you've found the one. Gloria Mesa was absolutely incredible to work with from minute one. She consistently exceeded ...
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.
WE LOVE GLORIA!!! We had the pleasure of working with Gloria for both our engagement photos and for wedding and she was amazing.
Her work and use of color are masterful, but equa...
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!
Gloria was absolutely amazing! My husband and I loved working with her and were so pleased with our pictures.
When picking a wedding photographer we wanted someone who could do...
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.
Gloria did everything to capture our day perfectly. She met with us beforehand and really honed in on the experience and feel we were hoping to capture on our big day. My husband h...
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!
We got married at The Victorian in Santa Monica last month and hired Gloria Mesa to take the photographs. We got the pictures recently and we could not be happier with them. Gloria...
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.
Gloria has been amazing since the day we first met her! Not only are the photos incredible but she is a true pleasure to work with. She has the best attitude and eye for the best s...
hots. We could not have picked a better photographer for our wedding! Thank you, Gloria!
Gloria is so talented and great to work with. Not only did our pictures come out beautiful she made my husband and I look good. She knows the best spots for lighting and how to mak...
e you pose you so you look natural and look good
Gloria Mesa is amazing. The quality of her work speaks for itself -- she's just so incredibly talented, we were thrilled with our engagement and wedding pictures! But on top of all...
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 :)
Planning a wedding is stressful but working with Gloria is such a pleasure! She goes above and beyond and only wants the best for you, Gloria made everyone at our wedding feel spec...
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).
Gloria is absolutely amazing and such a special and talented person! My husband and I just adored her and she managed to go above and beyond our very high expectations. She helped ...
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.
To me this is one of the places you want to spend your money, photos and Gloria did not disappoint. Choosing the right photographer is so vital to capture your special day. From ...
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
Gloria was AMAZING! She and her 2nd photographer knew exactly what to do, how to do it and do it tactfully, tasteful, and with a smile on heir face! You can tell they love their jo...
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!!
Gloria is AMAZING! Not only is a just a joy to work with and has a wonderful personality. She knows how to make you feel comfortable and look natural in your photos. AND she takes ...
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.
I could not have dreamed up a better photographer for our wedding. My new husband and I interviewed so many photographers and then we found Gloria. We knew from the second we met h...
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.
Gloria is amazing! She knows how to capture the mood and love in every moment. I have seen her at two other weddings besides her being our photographer for our wedding. She is alwa...
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.
