Each of my 3 sisters had MPW as their wedding photographer, and when it came time for me, I of course knew I wanted them, too. Our pre-Covid wedding plans were a July California wedding, and we would have flown Glenn and his team out if they w...ere not already booked (1.5 years in advance of our date!) and if LA venue dates weren't so competitive. MPW's photos are each a work of art, with Glenn's innate eye for seeing a photo op and unparalleled talent for capturing it with just the right angle and lighting. We shopped around many photographers in LA - Glenn's talent was unmatched, and rates in LA were at least 50% higher in price.
When Covid hit, like many other couples, it took us some time to figure out what we would do in 2020 instead. We opted for a minimony, a direct family only wedding and decided to have it in my hometown in NJ so my folks wouldn't have to fly. Alas, we were so fortunate that Glenn was available on short notice and were able to have our dream photographer after all! We wanted to keep the number of people low with only one photographer, so Glenn was the perfect choice, even moreso because of Covid. Without a doubt, we knew that Glenn would know how to run around a Church, stay incognito, chorale a wedding party for portraits (yes, that skill is still needed for a minimony when you have a large FIlipino family!), and capture moments effortlessly. During this stressful and rapid planning process, our photography was the least stressful piece because we had Glenn.
Our wedding photos were right in Glenn's turf, Princeton, and he knew exactly which spots to target for stunning breathtaking photos. Glenn captured such a variety of photo types, from playful candids, to black and white dramatic moments, to rich colorful snapshots. Somehow he was able to capture photos like no one was around, when in fact there were at least 3 other wedding photo shoots going on. The best gift Glenn could give us was family portraits, something which 2020 has taught us are priceless and we feel so fortunate to have been able to have. We had originally only booked Glenn for 3 hours, thinking naively that our minimony would only need half the time of a regular wedding. When we realized we wanted more time, he was so flexible and upbeat despite having a 7AM wedding the next day. Thank you Glenn for hanging with us for longer to capture these once in a lifetime moments!
Glenn even gave us a teaser and within a couple of hours, had messaged us absolutely stunning photos from the day. The fast turnaround speaks to the fact that his talent is incredible and his photos do not even need editing! The remainder of our photos were turned around in less than 2 weeks, and we are ecstatic to share them with our loved ones. Our wedding was complete with Glenn's talent and now we have timeless photos that will immediately take us back.
Book Glenn in a heartbeat, whether your wedding is a large celebration or an intimate moment. Glenn is the absolute best!
