If you're looking for a wedding photographer, look no further - you've found the one. Gloria Mesa was absolutely incredible to work with from minute one. She consistently exceeded our expectations throughout the entire planning process, engagement photo experience, and wedding photo experience as well. Let me start by saying, my husband (!) and I are NOT comfortable in front of a camera, and Gloria instantly set us at ease with her kind and warm personality, and gave us just the right amount of direction and cueing for us to feel and look like ourselves during the engagement photo process, but also look GOOD. On the wedding day, she took charge and kept us on time while capturing all of the important moments in the same manner. My entire wedding party, and my guests, could not stop telling me how wonderful she was to work with. When I received my photos today, I was blown away. She truly managed to capture all of the important moments beautifully, from posed to candids, to detail shots and beyond. I will treasure these for the rest of my life and am so grateful to have had this special day captured by Gloria. If you are seeking a photographer to make you feel comfortable and enjoy being photographed, while capturing beautiful images, Gloria Mesa has my highest recommendation. read more

Gloria was absolutely amazing! My husband and I loved working with her and were so pleased with our pictures. When picking a wedding photographer we wanted someone who could do softly lit, ethereal and editorial quality photos. As soon as we met with her we knew she was the one for us- the connection and attention to detail. One other great part of working with her is that she knew our venue (Quail Ranch) very well so then picking Gloria was the obvious choice. But the best part about using Gloria for photography (apart from the amazing pictures) is how comfortable she makes you feel! Of course photos take up a large chunk of your day, and you're spending intimate moments with your photographer - you want someone who is going to make you feel comfortable, and Gloria did just that. We feel she went above and beyond. By the end of our engagement photos and wedding day, Gloria felt more like a longtime friend than someone we hired. And, of course, our photos turned out INCREDIBLE. We absolutely love them. I highly, highly recommend Gloria. read more

Gloria Mesa Photography - Our Quail Ranch wedding by Gloria - Photographers Near Me

Gloria was beyond amazing! She shot our engagement photos as well as both ceremonies (we had a catholic ceremony on Saturday and a Jewish ceremony on Sunday follow by the wedding reception). From the first moment at our introductory meeting we could tell why she came so highly recommended. Not only is she a complete professional, she explained her vision and how she likes to capture moments and the real relationship, but she also is such an amazingly warm and loving person which made us feel so comfortable with her and able to open up in front of the camera. When it came to the day of the big reception we knew that Gloria was in charge and was in her element. It goes without saying that she is more than just a photographer, she is a true artist. You only need 5 minutes on her website to know how beautiful her photos are. Beyond the quality of her photos though, she was always able to make sure her and her team were ready to capture every big moment, as well as many of the fun, unplanned candids throughout the night. She had some special lighting shots she wanted to capture at sunset and made sure to communicate with us just the right amount so that everything would run smoothly. There aren't enough stars available to rate how highly we feel about Gloria, but one thing is certain, we would absolutely recommend her to anyone for any occasion. Her vision is unmatched and we were so at ease knowing the one thing we would have from our wedding for years to come was in her hands. read more

Gloria is the best!! She is so sweet. I had a blast taking my Engagement pictures and my wedding pictures turned out beautiful. I'm looking forward to having her photograph my baby. read more

Gloria is absolutely wonderful! She is professional, talented, dedicated, and friendly. She made sure to get every shot possible all day long as we celebrated our son's Bar Mitzvah with his service and two parties. I would not hesitate to use her again, nor would I hesitate to recommend her to everyone I know! read more

Gloria Mesa is incredible. She is the best photographer. She knows how to capture the moment. I highly recommend Gloria Mesa

To me this is one of the places you want to spend your money, photos and Gloria did not disappoint. Choosing the right photographer is so vital to capture your special day. From the moment we first meant Gloria we knew she was the right fit. Not only is her website amazing, but at our first meeting she brought a few books displaying her beautiful work in print. We had a year to prepare for the wedding and during that time we kept in touch with her bouncing ideas around and how we envisioned our day to go! She was more than willing to make that come true for us, getting the shots we asked for was very important to her. We dragged her all over the place and she didn't mind a bit! She worked well with my other vendors particularly our videographer to ensure he got the footage he needed as well. She has 4 different packages I believe you can choose from to fit your needs and budget! I wish I could share my beautiful photos on here who knows maybe you will see them on her website. Gloria thank you for your hard work and dedication to our vision, you truly are an amazing photographer as well as a kind, loving and sincere human being! Thanks for making our day so special!! Love shell read more

Gloria is the best! She photographed both our engagement session and wedding photos, and my husband and I could not have been happier. She is so warm and friendly, and so professional - we instantly felt at ease with her, which is important because neither of us usually feel very comfortable in front of the camera. Gloria made it a great experience. We have so many amazing photos. I would recommend her highly to anyone looking for a photographer. read more

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING....we are so honored to get to a chance to post a review on Gloria's page first. After searching the web we found Gloria's website, at the first glance of her photos we knew we wanted her to take our wedding pictures. We love the details of her photos, the personal touch when she writes the story of each couple. Also Gloria has an amazing eye in the way she captures smiles, tears and laughter which make the wedding pictures so special. She truly tells a fairy tale with her pictures. Looking back at our wedding pictures we get a chance to re-live our special moments, for this we are so grateful and blessed to have worked with such a wonderful and talented photographer. THANK YOU again Gloria for all your hardwork we are truly blessed to have gotten a chance to get to know you. Love Ben & Sheyla read more

Gloria took the greatest photos of our special day. She worked through all of the headache of family and friends and was still able to capture some of the greatest moments from beginning to end. She was a professional the entire time and delivered everything that she promised. We have recommended her to other friends and soon to be brides and grooms. Her work speaks for itself! Gloria made sure that she did everything possible to get that great shot. We can't thank her enough for making our day even better. read more

Gloria Mesa and her staff of photographers were excellent at my daughters wedding at Quail Ranch. She is such a warm friendly person, and was totally available to the wedding party and any picture we wanted. Would highly recommend her, she was great! read more

Had Gloria as photographer for wedding and engagement shots, she definitely knows what she is doing. I would highly recommend her.

Gloria is absolutely amazing and such a special and talented person! My husband and I just adored her and she managed to go above and beyond our very high expectations. She helped keep everyone on track before the wedding, kept me and my husband calm, was careful to make sure she got every photo on our list (and so much more), and was amazingly nice to our friends, family, and 2 dogs. In addition to our love for Gloria as a person, her work is outstanding and our photos are spectacular! Our guests all joked that Gloria was like a Ninja - she was dressed professionally in all black and was never in the way but managed to come out of no where to get amazing shots of everything at our wedding. She caught every spontaneous group photo and even got shots of our guests before the ceremony which was such a fun surprise! The pictures from our ceremony are stunning and the moments she captured throughout the entire day are just so special. I could not be happier with our experience working with Gloria and her team! I would highly recommend her and hope we can work with her again in the future. read more
