Introduction

For the past 10 years, I've loved developing lasting relationships with my clients to help them feel comfortable in front of the camera. I'm a true romantic at heart, and want to capture all the things that make your love story unique. Getting your photos taken can be awkward and vulnerable, but I want to help you embrace those feelings and capture the genuine emotions you feel on such a special day. I can't wait to get to know you and your partner and start this journey together!

We had the pleasure of hiring Moriel for our August 2023 wedding on the Big Island, Hawaii. My wife was extremely picky about the "look" of our photos (as you should be!), and she spent hours upon hours toiling over wedding photographer galleries. We were looking for someone who could capture candid moments, and also create beautiful portraits and landscape shots in bright lighting as well as dark outdoor settings. She was immediately drawn to Moriel's galleries: a balance of lighting, editing, and comfort of her clients in their portraits.The selling point for me was our first call with Morielwe felt like we clicked and she made us feel so comfortable and natural. I wasn't as picky on the technical skills and details, but after one short conversation with Moriel, I knew she had to be our photographer. She genuinely cares about learning about your story as a couple and what you envision your experience to be, while also offering a clear idea of her own creative process and style.Fast forward to the wedding day (and even days leading up to the wedding) and I can't say enough positive things about Moriel's professionalism, communication, and support. We had a ton of changes due to an unexpected venue cancellation (absolute nightmare!) and Moriel was flexible and positive throughout it all. She even drove my wife to the new venue for getting ready photos and put together a first look, which was never planned. The first look photos are our favorite and to share these moments with someone who felt like a longtime friend was an invaluable experience.In the end, we knew the photos would be beautiful (and they were). Moriel provides a detailed questionnaire to fill out prior to the wedding and she nailed everything we emphasized. I could go on and on about the quality of the photos and how much we are in love with them, but the most important thing I can say is that your photographer will be with you more than any other person at your wedding. It's so important to find someone who values you, your spouse, your guests, and your experience. Moriel values all of these things as well as her service. You won't be disappointed.

Moriel was absolutely awesome! We did a mini session and she went above and beyond to prep us for the session, make the most of our actual shoot time with posing and ideas, and afterwards was sooo easy to communicate with! She was super responsive and kept us very up to date with all ETAs for both proofs and final pics. We also loved how the pictures turned out, they were exactly what we had pictured! I love her edits and how she maintains natural tones in her pictures. We had such a great experience, 10/10 would book again!

Moriel is one of a kind. I found her through Instagram back in 2018/2019 and knew she was my dream wedding photographer (I wasn’t even engaged yet lol!). Come 2022, and I had the pleasure of being in front of Moriel’s lens three times. In March, she shot our engagement photoshoot then in August, my bachelorette weekend and in September, our wedding! And we plan to be in front of Moriel’s lens plenty more times in the future! What makes Moriel different than others is not just her pure talent and attention to detail, but her way of making you feel extremely comfortable, which shows in her photos - she captured our best selves. On our wedding day, Moriel was able to read my body language and advocate for me when she could tell I needed some space and a break (lol, phew). She fixed my hair, dress and veil more times than anyone else that day. Our friends and family loved Moriel and felt equally comfortable being captured by her. I will be eternally grateful to have found, met and been captured by Moriel - she remains my dream photographer!

Moriel goes above and beyond for her clients, from scoping locations to outfit suggestions, she truly cares that her clients get the results they are looking for. She always made us feel comfortable during photoshoots, providing direction when we asked for it but also letting us be ourselves. She shot our engagement photos 3 years ago and we loved our photos and experience with her so much that she recently shot our maternity photos as well. She has done a great job capturing our life milestones each time. Thank you Moriel!
