From the first meeting to engagement photos, to the many calls between and then the wedding day, she made it fun and easy for people who don't love being in front of the camera.

I cannot express how incredible Mirelle was for us! Her photographs--both of our engagement and wedding--were OUT OF THIS WORLD BEAUTIFUL. I can't even comprehend how amazing her photography is. Every image is honestly a stand-alone art piece. I can't tell you how many compliments we've received on the engagement and wedding photos we have shared. Not only will you absolutely, positively get the most beautiful photographs with Mirelle, you also get an amazing person! Mirelle was so helpful, fun, responsive throughout both our engagement photo shoot and wedding photo shoot. Mirelle has such a warm, amazing personality that my husband and I (who are extremely shy about taking photos) felt soooo at ease and comfortable. Mirelle also went above and beyond to make sure all of our photos were perfect--from scouting out locations ahead of time, to coming up with an amazing back-up plan when it was pouring rain on our wedding day. Mirelle is a dream to work with given how detail-oriented she is--she created a perfect wedding timeline that lent to a stress-free and amazing day! Oh and icing on the cake--we received all of our beautiful wedding photos exactly 1 month after our wedding. She kept the magic alive for us! We can't thank Mirelle enough for her amazing work and giving us the perfect pictures to help us relive the best day of our lives. read more

Mirelle was by far one of our best wedding vendors. She was very communicative, professional, flexible, and easy to work with since we have been planning our wedding (06/12/2021) a year ago. On our wedding day, she was obviously experienced with knowing ideal locations and poses. She was fun and made us all feel comfortable. What was incredible was that our turnaround time for photos was only 1 week! She was able to capture every moment of the day very artistically. We are in love with every single photograph and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer! Thank you Mirelle for being a dream to work with. read more

Mirelle single handedly captured our entire 2019 PERFECTLY! From our engagement photos to our wedding (and even a secret boudoir shoot for the groom ;)), we could not be happier. Mirelle is so sweet, incredibly easy to work with and makes you feel immediately comfortable. She is flexible and helps ensure you have a great plan to make all your photography dreams come true. I frequently find myself flipping through our pictures in awe of how she captured not just the beauty but the feelings and essence of our important moments. Our families and friends cannot stop raving about them as well. I recommend Mirelle without an ounce of hesitation - she is a magic worker with her camera and an all around wonderful person. We cannot wait to have the opportunity to work with her again - THANK YOU MIRELLE! read more

Mirelle photographed our wedding in July 2013 in Half Moon Bay. She was prompt in all of our communication before the wedding, and she was quick in delivery of the final photos after the wedding. During the wedding, she was good at keeping us on schedule without being aggressive. Most importantly, I had a drama/freakout moment during the wedding, and Mirelle kept a calm composure and checked in with me to make sure I was doing okay. I was happy with the final results and I would recommend her to anyone! Plus, I just like her as a person. If she lived in San Francisco, I would totally make her be my friend. read more

Mirelle was wonderful from start to finish. Choosing her as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made. She was professional, flexible, very friendly, and her photos were breathtaking! Photography was the largest part of our wedding budget, and we absolutely made the right choice. Right from the beginning, we were totally enamored with her photojournalistic style and the beautiful way she works with light and color. We contacted her and hit it off immediately. Over the months, we got to know Mirelle better, from her great sense of humor and love of dinosaurs, to her delightful and talented family. (Including her sister, Cheryl, who is her second shooter and a fantastic photographer.) On the day of our wedding, it felt like we had two extra friends there with us who just happened to be incredible photographers. We got married on the beach, so our first look photos had a rush of wind and the ceremony itself was set against a backdrop of crashing waves. Mirelle captured the warm glow of our evening reception perfectly, the scrumptious food, and--most importantly--the sense of celebration and love surrounding our party. We could not have imagined a more perfect day, or more perfect photographers to share it with. read more

Mirelle was a dream of a photographer in every way! She is professional, responsive, warm, talented, friendly, fun, takes her work seriously - I could go on and on!

Our bridal party and families had great things to say about Mirelle and Cheryl, too! We got married at the Ebell of Los Angeles in June 2022 and did our engagement shoot with Mirelle in LA in August 2021. Both were amazing experiences.

Hire Mirelle for dreamy, magazine-worthy photos! Mirelle was the first vendor that I hired and I remember reaching out and then anxiously hoping, praying, and wishing that she was available on my wedding date. Fortunately, she was available, and I didn't have to wait long for my response because Mirelle is an extremely communicative vendor! I ended up using Mirelle for my engagement and wedding photos and it was such a great experience and me and my husband (and everyone else, we received so many compliments!) love the photos so much. From Mirelle's Instagram and website, I knew the photos would turn out well, but I had a hard time believing that our photos would look as good as the stunning ones that she highlights on there. But the photos we received are really, truly gorgeous. Both the posed shots with each other or family members and the candid shots laughing with guests. Beyond the photos, I will also say that working with Mirelle is such a joyous experience. You spend a lot of time with your wedding photographer on your wedding day, and we had such a wonderful time with her that day and during our engagement photos. We were a low key couple embarking on a big day and she brought the calm energy we needed while also being exuberant and take charge about getting the photos we needed. This may be a weird way to describe it, but she felt like a true ally and friend on our wedding day. Weddings are beautiful events, and I hope you hire Mirelle to capture the full beauty of yours! (Or any other event, she's just a wonderful photographer in general!) read more

Mirelle was our photographer for our wedding and she's amazing. She blends in so seemlessly the day-of and her and her assistant just walk around, taking photos of all the details of the wedding.

She's incredibly talented and is so great at seeing moments happening and capturing them without any prior notice. She shot our engagement photos too, which were beautiful. She made us feel comfortable and gave us great direction on what to do. Definitely recommend her to anyone getting married, or for any type of shots you may need taken. read more

Having heard so many times that your wedding day happens in a blink, I knew finding a photographer that would provide long lasting memories for us was a top priority. After speaking with Mirelle over the phone and looking through her portfolio of timeless works of art I knew we had found the one! Her calm and kind demeanor made planning stress-free and she had so many fantastic recommendations for all things wedding. Due to Covid, our original wedding date turned into our engagement shoot. My partner and I are not very comfortable in front of a camera but Mirelle made us feel at ease and we were laughing so much that only did we walk away with beautiful photos but a memorable experience.

Mirelle is a true artist who truly exceeded our expectations for our wedding photography. Her style is spontaneous and clever. The way she works with natural lighting is so inspiring! I am an artist, designer and a perfectionist at heart, and can be very picky when it comes to photos. Mirelle's work was more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. Every shot could be in a photography magazine. She truly captured the emotions of the day, the atmosphere and setting and the love that surrounded us. Mirelle was a pleasure to work with! She is the perfect mix of a professional vendor and a friend you seem to have known since childhood. Mirelle is very courteous, accommodating and organized. We had a blast doing our engagement photos on the beach and in Disneyland with Mirelle! From hiking up cliffs to riding King Arthur's Carousel backwards, Mirelle went way out of her way to get gorgeous photos. Even now, months later, I get completely lost in her photos and am brought right back to that day: the smell of the ocean, the feeling of floating on a cloud... I am so thankful to have had Mirelle capture the precious memories of our wedding. read more

Mirelle is the BEST!! She was the photographer at our wedding in Oceanside and was such a joy to work with.

About 9 months ago I started planning my wedding and being semi-new to the area I did not know a lot of people for recommendations on photographers. I stumbled across Mirelle's website (out of wonderful luck) and fell in love with her style. After our our first meeting, I felt like I knew Mirelle for years, EXACTLY what I was hoping to find in a photographer. Shortly after, we did our engagement shoot and I had never felt so at ease in front of a camera. Mirelle made my fiance and I feel so comfortable and natural, I couldn't believe when my fiance starting giving ideas for photos and backdrops! We just had our wedding a few weeks ago and our wedding photos are nothing short of AMAZING! I never imagined she could capture our day so perfectly. Everything from the ceremony to the romantic shots to the reception turned out beautifully. Her creativity and eye for a unique and artsy shot is crazy good. I can't imagine having anyone else with us throughout our wedding journey. Thanks Mirelle for making our wedding so memorable!! read more

Mirelle was the photographer for our engagement session and wedding in March and she was fantastic! Her bubbly and outgoing personality, on top of her talent, made her great to work with. Her work speaks for itself, but she definitely went out of the way to make sure we got all the shots we wanted and things looked great!
