I’ve had the privilege of witnessing memories-in-the-making for hundreds of couples and families throughout my photography journey. From “I Do’s” to baby’s first smile, what elevates these moments beyond the ‘stiff-and-posed’ into an authentic and true reflection of who you are is a photographer who takes the time to get to know you.
Let’s face it, being in front of the camera can be daunting - especially if you don’t know what to do. That is where I come in. Before I even lift my camera, we will spend time getting comfortable with one another so I can understand your vision and ease any concerns you may have. The best moments happen when they unfold naturally, when you are comfortable and relaxed. This way, together, we can create unbelievable photos that you will love.

Unscripted moments, captured
-Laura Thompson
We couldn’t be happier with our engagement and wedding photos!! Gloria captured every special moment with creativity and attention to detail. Her professionalism, warmth, and ability to make us feel at ease truly made our day even more memorable.”
“We highly recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful, timeless wedding photos!
-Sarah and Rhoee
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.
“Gloria was beyond amazing!
-Hannah Widawer
I cannot speak highly enough of Gloria Mesa Photography! From the moment we connected, Gloria exuded professionalism, warmth, and a genuine passion for her craft. She captured every moment of our wedding day with an artistry that left us in awe.
Gloria's attention to detail is impeccable, ensuring that every shot is beautifully composed and perfectly timed. Beyond her undeniable talent, Gloria's demeanor throughout the entire process was an absolute joy. She made us feel comfortable and relaxed, allowing us to be ourselves in front of the camera. Her friendly and calming presence was exactly what we needed on such a whirlwind day.
“Exquisite Wedding Photography
-Laura and jorge
Gloria literally saved the day for my husband and I! Our photographer, who we booked almost two years in advance, cancelled on us TWO WEEKS before our special day. Thankfully, I called Gloria and she was available! I think this was a match made in heaven because it all worked out wonderful. Most of my family speaks Spanish so the fact that she could direct everyone instead of having to translate everything was a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. With less than two weeks for Gloria to prep for my wedding, she made she I got all the pictures I wanted along with the style we were going for. I felt so comfortable taking pictures all day with her (which I thought I was going to dread). Gloria was there all night and captured all the important memories. Both of our families fell in love with her too, can't wait to have another life event for her to capture!
“The best photographer in la
-Bryan Coffey
First and foremost I’d like to say from the moment my wife and I spoke to Gloria on the phone we knew she was the perfect photographer for us. Gloria made an extra effort to be there for our proposal photos. She took gorgeous photos for our engagement pictures.
Then there’s our wedding photos. Absolutely stunning, beautiful, amazing, and memorable in every way. Gloria made sure we were comfortable, well taken care of, and at ease with every photo. She was very kind to our family and friends as well. Lastly, I’d like to mention the wedding album that Gloria put together for us. My wife and I will have these wonderful memories for as long as God allows us to enjoy them. We are so thankful that we met Gloria and her staff and are truly blessed with these experiences. Thank you Gloria!
“Gloria is amazing!
-Marla Garfinkle (MOB)
We hired her as our photographer for our daughter’s wedding weekend and it was the very best decision! Gloria’s special ways, patience and professionalism are just part of what makes working with her so wonderful. She has the ability to make everyone feel comfortable and an artistic eye that can’t be taught! She’s so easy to work with and fun as well. If you’re thinking about hiring Gloria Mesa you will be so happy that you did! Best decision! 🧡
“I can’t say enough about how wonderful working with Gloria has been.
-Rachel and Vasili
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. 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.
“If you're looking for a wedding photographer, look no further - you've found the one."
