Neri did both our engagement photos and wedding photos! She has been one of the easiest people to work with throughout our whole wedding process!! Both my husband and I are not the...
easiest to get serious pictures with because we’re always making jokes, but she does such a great job of capturing the candid moments and then helping to guide us for the pictures we want but needed her help to get!
We did a super small wedding and she did a great job just going with the flow with us. Our family all had wonderful things to say about her and how kind she was and did a great job being there for every moment. Absolutely loved working with her and we could not recommend her enough!!

Neri is not only talented but so kind and truly amazing to work with. We hired her in 2019 for our 2020 wedding, and when all the other vendors took our money and canceled, she sai...
d give me a call when you're ready and we'll work it out. And when I called her February 2022, we continue where we left off.
The day flew by so quickly, but she caught so many details of the reception that I swear I could relive it all again. She made our bride and groom photos stress free and natural. I honestly had such a bad experience with my past engagement photographer, but she rewrote my whole experience. I would hire her again!
She went above and beyond her duties. I didn't expect her to help me with my timeline or make suggestions on things. I honestly am blessed to have found her.
I wish you lots of success Neri! The only thing I regret is not having found you for my engagement photoshoot! ❤️

Working with Neri was a dream! She was very responsive to all of my inquiries leading up to my wedding, was really great at helping me think of what all shots I wanted with friends...
and family, and overall just made my husband and I feel really comfortable with her as our photographer. Her rates are so reasonable, and the quality of the photos she produces is out of this world. She’s also really great at corralling crazy family members to make sure everyone get in the photos. Definitely the best choice we could have made for our special day!

LOOK NO FURTHER, you're in the right place. Truly, the BEST investment we made for our wedding. I think her works speaks for itself, its so beautiful and dreamy. Working with her ...
was also a dream. We have to be the worst people to photograph, we had no idea what to do with our hands much less our faces but none of that mattered with Neri because she knows what she's doing! She was so patient and kind working with us during our engagement session, by the time our wedding came around we honestly felt like naturals and it wasn't just some photographer behind the camera it was a friend. Each time I received the photos I was just blown away by how well she captured the moment (honestly I don't even remember the moment being that beautiful lol). But it didn't happen by accident, it happened because of how thoughtful and intentional she is with her work. We're honored she worked with us, spent time getting to know us, and WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure everything was perfect.

Neri is an amazing photographer. If you give her a list of what you want she will take all the photos and be perfectly in sync with your timeline for the wedding. She knows how to ...
shoot a reception and what’s crazy is that you will not even see her but she’ll see you and get the best shots. She’s quick to answer any messages or questions and as a person has the great vibes. I would 1000% book her for other events.

s that we would have never thought to capture. She was calm, uber organized, and overall a radiant persona at our wedding! I felt so at ease; I feel like I never had to “worry” that she wasn’t getting the shots we’d talked about, or that she wasn’t where the action was. Even just by herself, she seemed to capture every aspect of our wedding beautifully as if she were a team of 4!
I highly recommend Neri for any photography needs— She produced absolutely beautiful photos that we will treasure forever. She truly captured all the emotions on that special day!!

hat is important to me. The planning process and consultations were all a breeze and natural and leading up to the day she even texted me early to let me know she was ready for later (my mind was everywhere and it was very comforting). When she arrived she made me feel comfortable and beautiful and even handled our rowdy groomsmen with grace. All I’ve heard from my guests/family is how awesome they felt she was and when we expand our family, I will definitely be calling her to capture the moments. Thank you for making the day so special, you are gorgeous inside and out!!

with aging parents these pictures were super important to us. She listened and helped us plan a perfect order for us. Also, my husband just finished Chemo and was super sick and weak. Neri worked with us on that, made sure he was done first and fast, That meant the world to me. She still worked the wedding and got all the details, but she heard what was important to us, and that is awesome! Communicate what you want, and she will make it happen!

She was very personable and accommodating! She arrived earlier than the wedding party. Even captured photos of the wedding party arriving which I'm so thankful for. She captured moments prior to, during and after the wedding. She literally took hundreds of photos! Her attention to detail, expertise as a photography and professionalism are top notch! I would hire her over and over again!
