mercy is an award-winning wedding photographer
natural, gorgeous images that perfectly represent your special day
My photography story started in Nigeria, where I got a minor in photography along with my major in (believe it or not!) accounting. After doing accounting for several years, having children inspired me to finally chase after my dreams of being a business owner and a photographer.
My approach to wedding photography is to capture not only the photos you’ve been dreaming of, but also the unexpected moments that end up meaning the most—all while making you and your spouse feel completely comfortable in front of my camera. No pressure here, just fun!

HOW DOES THIS SOUND?
Intentional edits that honor every skin tone
You Get My Full Attention
So dark you vanish into the background? So bright one of you disappears? Ashy skin? Overly saturated/desaturated edits that don’t even match real life? Not here, babe. You get to look like your beautiful self, just as you are. :)
Because I take on only a limited number of weddings each year, each couple gets my full attention and care—you're never just another date on the calendar.
The Perfect Blend of Candid & posed
I'll help you look natural, yet amazing; catching both the posed moments and the real laughs.
Awkward? Not Here
Even camera-shy couples look like naturals with my relaxed approach.
Nothing Slips By Me
From your gorgeous dress details to your mom's happy tears, I catch it all. You know those in between moments you might not see on you wedding day, I make sure you relive those.
Team Player
I work hand-in-hand with your other vendors to help everything run smoothly—yes, my work is important, but only if it honors you and your vision. A team that understands that makes all the differenc

Highlights
my PHILOSOPHY
"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves." - Philippians 2:3
This verse fundamentally guides my philosophy. Your wedding day isn't about me—it's about you. Every decision, every click of the shutter, every behind-the-scenes adjustment is made with your comfort, joy, and legacy at the forefront of my mind. I'm here to serve, to honor your story, and to create an experience that feels uniquely and perfectly yours.
- Ethan AND Hannah
I feel like our pictures turned out so natural and embody our love and playful relationship.

"She was funny & laid back but still made sure things got done. She made everyone feel at ease"
