Shagari Gerard Photography

l be my wedding photographer,” fast forward to current day and it really happened! Shagari flew all the way to Newport Beach, CA from New Orleans to make my day extra special. He arrived on time to shoot myself and my bridesmaids getting ready. Wedding day was the first day we met in person and he came into the home and fit right in with my friends and I like we all went to school together for years! After the amazing getting ready photos we met for our first look shoot.. by far the best photos of the night. Shagari was mindful of the time, heat and every angle he took of us! Next up wedding photos, for only one photographer he was able to capture everything! Again he was very mindful of the perfect angles and captured the beauty of the ceremony. He captured our family/wedding party in a timely manner so we could start the reception. Now time for the party.. he fit right in with our family and friends and took photos of all our guest having a blast. The number one thing I loved most working with our photographer was how comfortable he made us and our guest feel in front of the camera. We received our photos on time and we were blown away by the detail and the quality of the photos. I will contact Mosaic by MG again for every life event I need a photographer for! If you are looking for an amazing, professional, affordable and well versed wedding photographer... well here you go! I wish I could give 10 stars! **********

ivered absolutely stunning images within a week of the wedding and the client is so elated and happy with the sneak peeks she actually text me from her honeymoon about her happy she is to relive her wedding day again through pictures. I remember coaching the couple on how to cut their wedding cake and I remember Shagari saying, "Mimi, don't worry, I will remind them before I take shots." I thought, "wow, how refreshing to work with an attentive and helpful Photographer." He is a true creative with a detailed eye to capture moments from an unexpected view. He is fast and strong. I remember seeing him run with the flash and umbrella lights to catch the fairy tale horse carriage exit and I was just blown away at his thinking. It was a great blessing working with Mosaic and have added them to my top 3 photographers for client recommendation. Brides, please do yourself a favor and book Mosaic because he is patient, understanding and a visionary who takes the time to understand your personality, your vision and your style. Wedding Planners, put Mosaic on your list because her even attends rehearsal (hahaha). If this doesn't show you how committed and dedicated he is at making sure he captures the entire detail, I don't know what else will.

the wedding pictures, one word to describe them would be beautiful! I would absolutely recommend him to anyone in need of a photographer.

rfect and exceeded my husband and I's expectations. The professionalism, punctuality, and creativity were what we appreciated the most. We would recommend Shagari to anyone and will definitely be using him for future photography needs.

for the camera.

now which one I wanted to re-live again. I know imma say our wedding day. I appreciate your work and the passion you have for and goes into it. Thanks

ly, and friends feel comfortable while taking pictures. The photographers were very efficient. They kept up with all the scheduled events that happened during our wedding ceremony and reception. Shagari one of our photographers went the extra mile and assisted with other things besides our photograpy. He was very intuned to what was going on and made sure that every special moment was captured. I highly recommend mosaicbymg. Throughout our entire wedding experience Shagari has created remarkable memories through his work. Our engagement photos were featured on Munaluchi Bridal’s website. My bridal session photos were exceptionally beautiful even after receiving them one week later. Shagari dedication to craft is impeccable. He will do anything to get the perfect shot even if it means laying in the street just to get the perfect angle. He’s overall goal is to create an astonishing experience for each couple and were so happy that we chosed Mosaicbymg to capture our entire wedding experience.

f certain moments in time. Shagari’s uncanny ability to see expressions, to anticipate movement, to remain stealth and to capture emotion, allows him to provide an exceptional service. Once you give Shagari the total autonomy, you will be blow away with the end results. I highly recommend Mosaic! Wedding Date: 12.15.18 Location: Baton Rouge Marriott

n on using them in the future!

itely be recommending him to friends and family for all of their photography needs!

perfect angle!! All of the pictures came out great and I’m so happy we will have these memories to look back on. I wish I had 10 hands to give him 10 thumbs up!

utiful, and even went viral ! I would recommend Shagari to any couple getting married !

reputable company to capture your big day!

ng! We received tons of compliments on all of our pictures. On our wedding day he arrived on time and got all of the pictures we asked him to take plus more. Very professional and always responsive. I will definitely refer him to anyone looking for wedding photography.

for my maternity shoot. All I can remember is how much he made me laugh and how comfortable he made me feel during that session. He directed very well and my pictures came out amazing. Out of all the photographers I’ve booked since then, Shagari stood out from the rest. From then on I always said if I were to ever get married I wanted him to do my wedding. The time came and I booked him for my engagements, bridals, & wedding day with no hesitation. Each time he succeeded my expectations. Pictures were FLAWLESS!! I receive a NUMEROUS amount of compliments each time I share them on social media. He’s always very responsive. Not once did I have to worry about him not responding or not receiving any of my pictures. He’s very professional, efficient, always on time, and not to mention his awesome personality! He exudes a rare passion for his work, running around trying to find the perfect spot for natural lighting and getting in the craziest positions just to get the right angle. Not many photographers will go as hard as him or has the same standard as him. He’s the first photographer I would recommend to anyone asking and that will never change. I urge you to book him 1000%. Thank you Shagari!!!

half of my friend to find out his availability and to my surprise he was available the dates she had in mind. Once she decided on a date we both went to his office for a consultation to discuss the details of the wedding and his policies. He was very organized and extremely professional! On the day of the engagement shoot he went above and beyond to make sure his client's vision came to life. Shagari was able to get the photography fee waived at the venue he used for the engagement shoot and he even had a Harley Davidson motorbike available as a prop! What amazed me most was the effort he displayed in making sure he captured the perfect shot...even if that meant lying on concrete dressed in a suit. The passion he has for is craft is definitely displayed in his work. Fast forward to the day of the wedding - the bride and groom did first look pictures and with very little direction from the bride, Shagari was able to find locations that would compliment her wedding dress. He is incredibly talented and has an eye for things the average person will probably never catch. From the ceremony to the reception, Shagari was very alert and able to capture the most precious moments!

hey shot our welcome party, day at the beach , wedding, reception and some family portraits as well. Not only did he take great pictures, he was extremely personable with the entire wedding group, allowing us all to open up for some really good candid shots. His team's attention to detail and ability to take our photographic desires and turn them into illustrious images was second to none. After the all the dust settled, he was in constant communication, giving us updates about our pictures, sending some edited shots that we requested early and sending some teasers too. Then we got the final product and we were blown away. He had to have taken over 50 thousand photos that weekend, because we got a lot of high quality shots I didn't know I was capable of. They were fun, sexy and elegant all at the same time. I didn't know he was capturing so much, but he definitely had it all. My wife and I are thankful and appreciative of his work. Thanks

which was a wonderful surprise. Thank you Mosaic by MG for capturing all the special moments! You can get a great photographer and a reasonable price!

lessly to bring our wedding photos to life, and they delivered! Every good love story must be told, and I am so glad you chose to help us tell ours-- we are forever grateful. Your passion is truly depicted through your work. God Bless!

ession to the day of the wedding! I will recommend him over and over again! We are so pleased with the professionalism and attentiveness of Shagari and his team! Nothing but greatness is in store for "Mosaic by MG"!

agement and wedding day. I would recommend Mosaic by Mg to capture your big day.

menal job and I love every shot that was captured. I most definitely recommend him to all my family, friends & co workers every time they ask who took my pictures. My husband and I are so glad we chose Mosaic.

d very well with my video team and were punctual and professional. The quality of his pictures were terrific as well and he provided me with my photos very timely. All of the little details that oftentimes go unnoticed were captured beautifully. Mosaic was an excellent choice and I would highly recommend Mosaic to all.

tting ready, and two went to a different hotel where my fiancé and his groomsmen were. We were so crazed for time at the end (my fault, not theirs) that he even let me and a friend ride in his car with him from hotel to hotel. They were super professional, had a great vision of what they knew would be good shots, and they even brought a drone (yes, a drone) to take pictures of us on a beautiful New Orleans balcony. They were super nice and personable, and I can't recommend them enough!

guy came straight in with his wedding attire and got straight to business. I didn't have to tell him anything. He knew when, where, and exactly what would make our pictures memorable. Highly recommended. He was amazing!

my photos. He even rushed to get a wrapped canvas printed for me a few days before the wedding and personally drove it from Baton Rouge to Houston so I wouldn't have to pay for overnight shipping. I won't even brag about how he surprised me with a drone for my bridal shoot and wedding even though it wasn't originally included in our package. Thanks so much Shagari for all you've done the last 8 months!! Seriously, book this guy. He's a great photographer but an even better person.

own in the middle of the week to capture my bridal photos! I was so happy! And when we received the photos and video from our big day, they were perfect! I mean literally everything was perfect!! I couldn't have asked for a better photographer to capture all of the elements for my big day! Thanks Mosaic

ing day photos. I'm so glad we had the opportunity to meet him and have him share our special day with. Gerard is a traveler and he has many locations that he will shoot, from Louisiana, to Texas, to destination weddings! He is a great guy and not to mention the timing on getting our pictures was so fast! I would definitely recommend Mosaic by MG, you will not be let down.

d very engaging. We both (my husband and I) felt comfortable and knew what was expected of us. I would recommend this vendor in a heartbeat. I am totally in love with the unique shots and overall wedding capture. Looking at the photos helps me relive that perfect day all over again!

ur lives to be captured by anyone else. Thank you for everything!!!

MG to all my family, friends, and associates!!

r long. He did a great job of being a photo-ninja and did a great job of balancing getting shots for us and being as unobtrusive as possible to the guests.

ry grateful they were able to capture our special day.

table while he and his colleague got great shots. At the wedding venue, he made the picture taking process seamless, both before and after the ceremony. During the reception he and his colleague were very gracious in taking the family shots that I requested in the moment. Overall, he is an excellent and highly professional photographer whom I recommend to every one! He does not disappoint!

ut that could be my fault for not expressing my vision. The photos and videos took longer than stated to receive, but the photographer stated he had been having problems with his mail. Also, our names were spelled incorrectly on our DVDs, but that's minor. The main issue was lack of communication from Shagari, when I inquired about a custom album that was part of my package(per our contract). A simple response would've sufficed, but I have yet to receive anything after a month of weekly text. Original review: Mosaic by MG delivered everything I wished for in a photographer and more. The photographer and his staff were very professional and a pleasure to work with. The quality of work and professionalism is exceptional!

n minded photographer. He was simply amazing!

ography needs in the future! :)

ing to end Shagari has been there supporting my every move, the ups and the downs (literally lol). Professional yet down to earth made this journey into becoming that much easier. Speedy returns on photos, honest opinions, easy to work with on scheduling events, and just a normal everyday conversation made this decision much more pleasurable. To top it off on my wedding, Shagari and his crew worked magic and wonders with an outside vendor whom was my videographer and a friend of my husband. They worked together as ONE, so much so most of my guest didn't know they were separate vendors. The small glitches, the tiny details, the accommodation around the bad weather, and the reassurance to myself really helped the wedding flow. In this planning I never thought I would have gain a friend. But I did. This has gone beyond a professional aspect and I'll never have anyone else photographer any other event in my life. TIL DEATH DO US PART. Thank you Shagari for all you have done. I could never ever ever repay you for stepping up to the plate and being my voice when I couldn't get to it. God bless you and your business!!!!! LOVE MRS SIBLEY

ll of our needs to a "T". For our engagement photos we actually did a split photo shoot between two locations... New Orleans and Abbeville, Louisiana. We all enjoyed the shoot and Shagari made each occasion very special for everyone!!I highly recommend his services to anyone. We are now expecting a little one in the Spring and we have hired Shagari for our maternity shoot!!! We also plan to hire Shagari for other various photographer needs in the future!! Stick with Mosaic By MG Photography services and you'll never go wrong. Shagari will surely show you some of that good ole Louisiana hospitality!!

His work has since been upstaged by our wedding photography and the overall wedding experience. He and his team were prompt, professional, and did such a great job that we've gotten multiple calls from relatives and friends about hiring him for future projects. We couldn't have asked for a better more genuine photographer. Thanks!

wife and I were awesome, we will cherish those for the rest of our lives. I would highly recommend Mosaic By MG Photography, you will not be disappointed with the results.

d everyone loved having him.

or a lifetime!!!

ing for over 4 hours to my location by adjusting one of his packages. I would use him again!

ing him again! Thanks for everything!

very accommodating with the price because I mentioned a limited budget as a medical student. My fiance and I wanted a particular look--colorful, with a very French Quarter feel, and specific pics at Cafe du Monde, and he was able to do all of that for us. He really kept what we were looking for in mind and walked us through the whole thing (we had never taken professional pictures before). The pictures turned out gorgeous and we were so happy with them! He also got them to us very quickly, within a week. Overall a very skilled and professional photographer with a great eye for color. He would definitely be my number one choice for pictures in the future, so we're hoping to see him after his studio expansion to LA.

nication, clear and upfront details. We met and talked serval times about locations, looks, time frames layouts! It was it great! Our guest loved his professionalism. Several guest asked "Where did we find him?" From the time we booked him to this very day the experience has been a complete pleasure. I believe his eye and view are just what is needed in this business. Fresh eyes and an open mind made our pictures stand out from any other I've ever seen. I'm sure he'll be doing huge photo spreads for the big time magazines soon!! When we received our photographs and they were breathtaking. They are truly individual pieces of art that tell the story of our special day. You will forever have our thanks and appreciation!!! Christopher Anderson Extremely Happy Groom Baton Rouge, La

hing so beautifully. Will definitely be my photographer for everything in the future, I can trust him 100% to deliver. If you're looking for professionalism and breathtaking, quality photos, book Mosaic! I promise you won't be disappointed.

n 2 separate location. We told them what we wanted and they went with it. Even though they made the atmosphere light and fun, they still maintained the professionalism. If you don't follow them on any social media, then you definitely should start. The quality of the work speaks for itself.

e with his work. From initial contact all the way to my photo shoot, he was very professional and hands on. The day of the photo shoot he was on time, equipped, and with an assistant. He gave great guidance and also re-created photos I previous sent to him weeks in advance. Also he takes lots of pictures from every angle possible to make sure he captures the perfect picture. I can't thank him enough because his work has made my wedding album complete. Once I saw my photos I was blown away. I couldn't stop looking at them. I am very grateful to have found a great photographer that I can recommend in high regards and definitely use in the future.

photography and videography. Being photographed by this team is truly an experience.They are amazing professionals and extremely affordable. Our wedding guests have all commented about how amazing our photographer was, and I am more than happy to pass along his services. I can't emphasize enough that aside from being great at what he does, Shagari's presence is a joy. His remarkable patience, kindness, and HUMILITY will not soon be forgotten. He is our official family photographer, and we look forward to him flawlessly capturing our future life events.

about our wedding photography experience. If we ever have any other event in the future, we will be SURE to use Mosaic by MG. Thanks man.

her bridal photos at a plantation outside the city of New Orleans, where we live. Those photos of my beautiful bride turned out amazing! However, that wonderful experience caused a problem. My bride then wanted Mosaic (Shagari) to do our wedding photos even though our wedding was in Milwaukee, WI. Because we were able to make it happen, our wedding photos provide an amazing memory of one the best days of my life. We had a lot of things not go as planned on our big day. Our photographer and his photos was not one them.

will always remember this day in my mind, and these beautiful photos will aid in doing so. THANKS!

result of the pictures. He was so easy to work with and really captured every moment. I plan to hire him for every upcoming event I have this year and many years to come. You will not be disappointed in any way if you hire this photographer. He is worth every penny and more.
