Meraki Portrait

but directed me to so many great vendors for all of our other needs. Each person she recommended was fantastic. We have not seen our photos yet but the previews are amazing and I get more excited every day to see them. I wouldn't consider Alicia a vendor but she is a dear friend now. On our day she was one of us and we miss her. My husband and I decided to travel back up to Maine from Florida to see our photos in person because we love her so much. Thank you Alicia, you made my day......Perfect

s a paycheck. It's only the most important day of my life, right? Within minutes of talking I knew Alicia was different. She was exactly what I was looking for! She is quick to respect. She is funny. And she has talent! I recommend Meraki Portrait hands down.

en we laughed a lot. She guided us really well so it didn't come across us I guess the good word to use is unnatural. Once our wedding day came, we really were good friends. My entire friends and family commented on how she seemed to really want to capture those special moments and took the time. She didn't sit down long hahaha. I adore her and I am so glad she was on our team because when I look at our pictures I see love. I see something really different. Thank you, Alicia.

l comfortable and relaxed. She was always so thoughtful, professional, responsive and PATIENT! I was a nervous bride and not only did Alicia help me with photography questions but she even helped me with things like twine for the invitations and decorative questions. She was put so much thought and heart into everything. We love her and highly highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fun, professional and talented photographer.

l! She captured all the little moments in every photo that when we look at them we remember everything that was going on in that exact moment. She was so encouraging and supportive with the boudior shoot, I’m a curvier girl and she knocked it right out of the park! She was amazing during the wedding and so creative with everything!! She even turns into my mini therapist through the wedding planning process, checked in weekly, sometimes daily, and even all but held my hand all the way up to me walking down the aisle. She is professional but friendly, personable and knows her stuff! We can’t thank her enough for capturing all the beautiful moments over the past year and look forward to her capturing more moving forward!

. She made my fiancé very comfortable and trust me, hes not easy. I can't wait for our wedding next year!

nd, how we met, how he proposed, and the type of wedding we wanted. Her attention to these details helped her better understand us and capture all of our special moments on our wedding day. She was so helpful throughout the wedding planning process and was always accessible by email. When it came to our wedding day, she went above and beyond to take pictures of everything and anything that was important to us. She was quick and efficient at the post-wedding pics and made taking hours of pictures fun. Most importantly, her work is absolutely stunning! After our wedding, she was quick to do edits, get us our digital files, and even make our wedding album (which we LOVE). We got so many compliments on our beautiful pictures, and it was so much fun to work with Alicia.

good and who you should choose. However, Alicia was very kind and willing to make time to meet with me. Once I met her, I couldn't imagine going with anyone else. I am very picky about how I look in photos but I was so in love with the engagement pictures. She made me feel like the most beautiful bride and put my mind at ease. Needless to say, I'd recommend her in a heartbeat!

as really good at making my fiance' and I feel super comfortable in front of the camera, which is not always the easiest. He has anxiety. I even suggested a second last minute location and she didn't hesitate to get some awesome shots just before the sun set. I will treasure those moments she has captured forever.

give advice, or answer questions. She photographed our elopement and we had a wonderful time. She's really easy to work with - making you feel really comfortable and the whole process feel natural. We absolutely LOVE the photos we've seen so far and are very excited to see the rest. We highly recommend Alicia!! She was a joy to work with and we couldn't be happier with the photos so far.

ich led to some seriously beautiful and natural looking shots) but she also worked out a timeline for us to make sure we didn't miss any of the party. Finding an amazing photographer was our most important decision when choosing our vendors, and we are beyond in love with our photos! Aside from the quality of our wedding album, our guests could not stop commenting on how fun and attentive Alicia was throughout the day. At one point, she literally laid down on the floor to capture a picture!! If you're looking for someone who will capture the moments you want to remember (in the most beautiful way possible), Meraki Portrait is who you want to hire. Alicia was able to perfectly capture our day and even sent us a usb with our pictures neatly organized into folders for each part of the day. We have not been able to stop looking at them ever since she released them to us, and are lucky enough to be able to re-live our perfect day and each moment every time we go through our album. I promise you will not regret booking Meraki Portrait.

were so beautiful, creative and intimate and the best representation of our event. Alicia is very professional, super supportive and yet blends into the background when she needs to. I could not recommend her more as a wonderfully talented wedding photographer!!!

ll of nerves beforehand. Then she would sneak in some shots here and there. She did direct us during our session, but not in those really awkward "poses." The end result fit us perfectly. Then the actual wedding day arrived. Me (the bride) was a big ball of nerves. She was so calm and attentive towards me. She had a timeline all created for the day for us, just to make sure we knew where to be and when, so I did get everything I wanted. The guests even made some comments on how nice + fun she was. She never once told someone to put their phone away. If anything she got the attention of the people getting pictures taken for them! I highly recommend her if you want someone to be part of your day, someone who is smiling and just as excited about your day as you are.. and someone who is honest. Thank you!

ckaging! My parents thought she was just a peach. I can’t recommend her enough!

e session feel super relaxed and easy! She had great ideas for posing, and gently coached us to create beautiful images. She also got us to talk about ourselves, each other, and made us laugh! In preparation for the wedding, she thought of everything, helped me create a timeline for the day, made sure to know in advance the specifics of what we wanted, who should pose for portraits, etc. She was a great photographer, AND a calm, fun, competent energy to have on the wedding "team". Our parents and wedding party all commented on how great she was as we were reflecting back on the event. The final product was outstanding- we got so many gorgeous photos of our wedding, both posed and candids.
