HEY - I'M MERCEDES

I'm a portland oregon based wedding and lifestyle photographer. ive been lucky enough to call the pacific northwest home my entire life. when im not taking photos you can find me thrifting my way through the city or forcing my friends to watch really bad reality tV with me. 

im inspired by 2000s rom coms, old film photos and you. yes you. the people i meet through my work and the connections i make are the most important (and my favorite) part of the job. no session or wedding day is the same, because your love is one of a kind.

"Not only is she the best at what she does, she is simply one of the best people you’ll ever meet. Her ability to make everyone feel comfortable while also making sure to get every photo we wanted is amazing. I will forever feel lucky to have these photos and to have had her by my side on my wedding day."

"Mercedes has an eye for capturing special moments like I have never seen before. Her photos are exactly like I have always envisioned my wedding photos looking, and every time I look at them, I literally cannot believe they are from MY wedding. She literally went so far above and beyond the whole weekend and never stopped capturing every little detail and moment of the day."

- maddie and griffin
