Capturing memories

Mercy was amazing to work with. I explained my vision for the day and she made it happen. The day was so incredibly fun with her. She was funny & laid back but still made sure things got done. She made everyone feel at ease. And her final product was perfect She captured all the details of the day and even though we were running behind on our timeline she was still able to help us get in all the photos we had requested! Thank you Mercy for helping us make the best day ever even better!!!
