“Mei Lou is an incredibly talented photographer and I would highly recommend her to anybody looking to capture any king of special moment. I had the pleasure of having her for my wedding and she managed to capture the emotions of the day so perfectly including fantastic photos with my dad and I which I will treasure forever. She was incredibly discrete throughout the ceremony and yet managed to get front line photos. She even went above and beyond by finding incredible advantage points in the church and at the venue allowing her to capture everybody from above. Mei Lou made us feel fully at ease (and my husband does not like being taken in photo) thanks to her joyful and upbeat personality. She provided the sneak peek photos very quickly (less than 1 week after the wedding) which we were very grateful for. We cannot stop looking at these photos over and over again. I honestly could not recommend her enough!”
