For the love of weddings & the promise you're making...

My heart fell for weddings when I was just 4 years old. After photographing over 350 weddings I have seen it all and I am still in love with weddings. Now, even more than ever I love getting to know you and being the one to capture your memories on the best day ever, your wedding day!

Share your Favorites

You're back from your honeymoon and it's just setting in that you're husband and wife. Having digital images to share with your friends & family is amazing but printing and having them framed in your first home together or flipping the pages to your heirloom album is even better! Mekina & her team will work with you in picking out the photos that captured your memories the best. :)

Love notes from my couples

We could not have asked for a better photographer! Mekina was incredible! She was super fun and very easy to work with. She made sure to capture all of our must-have photos, in addition to capturing the magical candid moments throughout our special day.

We could not have asked for a better photographer! Mekina was incredible! She was super fun and very easy to work with. She made sure to capture all of our must-have photos, in addition to capturing the magical candid moments throughout our special day. Her work is absolutely stunning. She gave us so many sneak peek photos the day after our wedding, which was incredibly fun to immediately share with friends and family. She was extremely helpful in the little moments as well, helping fix my hair or veil, helping with my bustle, giving me a mint before the ceremony, etc. She was extremely prepared, reliable and professional. She also photographed my sister's wedding in June. Our family truly felt as if Mekina was another member of our fam! We feel so lucky to have found Mekina and cannot thank her enough for allowing us to relive our wedding day through her beautiful photos!

Mekina is truly ONE OF A KIND! She was amazing to work with from start to finish. Chris and I truly feel as though Mekina is one of our good friends. She made us feel so comfortable taking pictures during our engagement shoot and on our wedding day!

She made us feel so comfortable taking pictures during our engagement shoot and on our wedding day! Taking pictures was painless and easy, and everything flowed! Mekina made sure to capture every detail, and to capture all of the pictures I was hoping for, especially those special moments of my groom seeing me for the first time! She was like a bridal assistant too and helped with getting ready and telling me where to be, and just easing my nerves... my family kept saying how sweet and kind Mekina was, offering to take pictures of everything! The sneak peaks we got back are breath taking and I can’t wait to see the rest!! She truly is so special & I recommend her 100 times over for your wedding day! You will not be disappointed!

Mekina is lovely. She effortlessly takes the most beautiful photos of you that you’ve ever seen. She has the brightest smile and a bubbly personality and everyone in our wedding party loved her. She’s really just as excited about your wedding as you are.

She’s really just as excited about your wedding as you are. Don’t you just love people like that?! I was planning my wedding a bit late in the game, as far as wedding planning goes. Mekina was recommended to me and we scheduled an engagement shoot in the next few days. We used one of her photos as part of our invitations and another for the thank you cards. I can’t believe I almost used the recommended vendor from the venue. The quality and the sheer amount photos you receive of the whole day is overwhelming in the best way possible. I have too many favorites so I just printed all of them for scrapbooking and albums and to send friends. Also I follow Mekina on Instagram and swoon at the beautiful things she’s always posting. If you’re getting married and you like her style just call her- because she is a photography goddess.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Mekina!! She captured our wedding day EXACTLY like we had envisioned. The most important thing to us was that our pictures did not turn out "posed". Mekina perfectly captured the day in a way that seemed effortless and candid while capturing all of the important pictures we wanted.

Mekina perfectly captured the day in a way that seemed effortless and candid while capturing all of the important pictures we wanted. More importantly she did it all so quickly so we were able to maximize our time with friends and family. From the first time we met Mekina she felt like a friend, which was huge since you spend most of your wedding day with your photographer. My husband and I are both a bit shy in front of the camera, but Mekina immediately made us feel comfortable. We had a blast taking both our engagement and wedding pictures with her. Every smile she captured was a genuine laugh. I cannot stop looking at the wedding pictures Mekina took for us. We received so many compliments from family and friends on our pictures. The hardest part will be narrowing down which ones we want to print!

Words cannot even begin to describe how happy we are with the quality of photography she provides. We are so grateful Mekina captured our special day! We not only booked the BEST photographer ever, but gained a new friendship in this wedding experience. We highly recommend her and cannot wait to have her capture other exciting events in our future!!

Where to even begin with how amazing Mekina is?! I met with Mekina at a coffee shop for a meet-up and to review some of her work and I knew from that second on, we HAD to have her photograph our wedding! Mekina is professional, incredibly talented and so personable. I went home to tell my now husband (fiancé at the time) just how awesome she is! Of course he believed me but he realized for himself when he met her at our engagement shoot. Mekina is an absolute pleasure to work with. She has such a bright vision and captures still and candid moments with excellent lighting. Mekina will give you the photos to look back on and allow your memories to last a lifetime! She makes taking pictures so effortless and fun, even my husband enjoyed every second. Words cannot even begin to describe how happy we are with the quality of photography she provides.

It’s really amazing how much work these outstanding individuals do on such an important day in someone’s life. Mekina is so much fun to be around, always smiling always looking for the BEST picture. She is genuine in every way! I highly recommend her. Thank you so much, Mekina!

Mekina made us so comfortable to be in front of the camera and was honestly like a friend to me the day of while we were all getting ready at my parents house and taking photos. We had a Saturday night wedding and received so many AMAZING 'sneak peaks' nearly two days after our wedding day! Her attention to detail, all things wedding knowledge, and super fun personality really made our wedding day complete!

Mekina is THE BEST photographer we could've asked for when it came to our wedding day! Let me start by saying- she knows what she is doing and makes it look easy! She was an absolute pleasure to work with from the minute I met her and we started talking engagement and wedding! My fiancé and I were SO nervous for our engagement shoot (we're not super photogenic) and Mekina totally captured our true personalities, love for each other, and we even had fun during the entire shoot! When it came to wedding day prep- our nerves were gone!

One of the most important things is that she’s non-invasive and blends into your party, but yet, she gets the most perfect photos. You don’t want a photographer who is in your face all day, or who is blocking your family/friends view of your ceremony and speeches, Mekina and her team are great at being in the right place, without ruining your guests experience. Mekina is like having a friend with you all day to make your wedding photography dreams come true!

Mekina was absolutely amazing for our wedding on! She photographed our friends wedding the year before and after seeing their photos, I knew she would be the perfect choice. Starting from our engagement session, Mekina was so accommodating and met us in Brooklyn at 6am to get the most perfect photos on the Brooklyn Bridge before the crowds showed up. She made sure she knew the area and was able to bring us to all of the best spots for gorgeous photos. She even brought her personal beach cruiser bicycle so that we could get some fun shots with it as well. Fast forward to our wedding day, Mekina showed up early and got the job done.

Mekina is like having a friend with you all day to make your wedding photography dreams come true! I recommend her to every bride I know, and honestly feel like if you don’t book Mekina you’re missing out!
