We contacted him multiple times with questions and he was always helpful and quick to get back to us despite his busy days! Our biggest concern was missing the cocktail hour for photos. Paul completely respected our feelings and shot amazing bridal/family party photos but with tons of time left to spare for us to enjoy the cocktail hour. Not only were were pleased, but so many of our guests complemented him too. I would hire him again in a second and recommend him to anyone!!

She is super friendly and kind and was eager to make our photography session a fun and positive experience for me and my family. The only thing better than the rapport she built with us was her photos.

I almost never write Yelp reviews, but wanted to make sure that more people know about Meraki Photo!

Tonya did an amazing job staying in touch with us to make sure we were still able to take elopement pictures instead of full scale wedding pictures. When I initially reached out to Tonya, we spoke on the phone about how my husband and I met, what I was looking for in pictures, and she spoke about her photography style and it really felt like I was talking to a friend. Even when we took pictures with her, my husband and I thought it was going to be super weird having to pose for someone who is basically staring at us with a camera; our experience with Tonya was the exact opposite!!! She made us feel incredibly comfortable while we were taking pictures and she took a lot of candid pictures in between poses as well. I highly recommend Par La Mer Photography for your photography needs!

Our photos are incredible. Simply gorgeous. BUT I found…read moreaspects of our experience just a bit frustrating and slightly unprofessional. It took several emails to get in touch with her to schedule our time slot. We struggled to find the price list for prints and didn't receive it until after our session. Your online gallery is only available online for 7 days. And if you want it longer, it's $100 fee. It's good to get some sort of package otherwise you get completely nickeled and dimed for everything. It's also $500 for 10 digital prints and prints start at $25 FOR ONE. Honestly, we were just thrown for a loop when we got the price listing after our photos were taken. Had we known we might have considered a package. But our session was a gift so we can't complain too much. If you don't mind spending a fortune, go for it. Otherwise, I'm pretty sure you could find someone else for a better price.

Long story short, they did our wedding in May 2017 - We got our pictures 6+months later - Our video…read morewas posted online over a year later, and still have not received the physical copy of the video - Our messages asking for the physical copy are being ignored. I don't recommend. More details: My wife wasn't super pleased with the overall pictures, as most of them were taken from the same angle. They had two photographers, and each part of the wedding was captured from 2 spots. Would have been great for them to move around a bit more and get different angles. However, the photographer was probably around to 8 months pregnant - which we didn't find out about until the day of the wedding. We didn't have anything against her being pregnant, but typically photographers are moving all about during shoots, and being 8 months pregnant would definitely hinder one's mobility. So, unfortunately we didn't get all the photos we'd want from our wedding day. Also, make sure if you have any pictures you want taken that you asked them over and over so they don't forget. My wife wished to have a photo of her by herself in her wedding dress, but unfortunately didn't get it. It was a busy day, which makes it tough for the couple getting married to stay on top of which photos they want taken. Anyways,.. on to the next issue. I forget how long we waited for the photos for (at least 6 months), but when we finally got them my wife was so disappointed with the lack of variety she started crying. Additionally, we waited well over a year for our video, which was posted on Vimeo. We also asked for a physical copy of the video, but have still yet to receive it and are being ignored by the photographer. I have tried contacting them multiple times via text, email, the knot contact form. Typically I've contacted once every 2 to 3 months, just reminding them we are still waiting for the video and to please let me know what I can do to help get this done... but radio silence. Based on our experience I would suggest finding someone else, and probably paying more for a photographer. Its your big day and you want the moments captured to reflect the great time you had. You don't want to have the same experience we have - lack of variety in photos, never receiving a physical copy of the video that you paid for already, and poor communication.

We did an in-home season with Kristyn, who is incredibly warm and has a magical energy. Our time…read moretogether felt like spending the morning with an old friend- we played inside and outside, had a snack, and did the usual toddler things in between- diaper changes, putting on boots "all by self!" Kristyn is a mama and was clearly familiar with all of these exchanges. What was profound was how she saw and documented these little, everyday moments for us. There have been so many times when I've been doing something routine like reading my daughter a book or changing a diaper or feeding her a snack when I've wished someone could snap a photo, because that's what I want to remember and what I want my daughter to see later. These tiny moments are big in their own way- they are a few of the ways we show our love for our daughter day after day. Kristyn saw us in all of our beautiful, chaotic, messy, loving, happy glory, and it means the world to me that my daughter can look at these photos later and see that despite all the messiness and imperfection in our lives, our love for her is so complete and perfect. Of course, I had aspired to get my hair blown out and have our home looking great, but I'm so glad I didn't wait any longer to have photos taken at home, and there is something sweet about the moments of messiness that are there in the photos. Kristyn saw us for who we are and gave us the gift of documenting us, just as we are right now, in the most beautiful way. I've never felt more seen before, and I couldn't be more grateful. We're already saving up for our next session with her. I can't recommend her more highly.
