I highly recommend MXBloom for wedding photography & videography services. They're incredible…read more For context, I was a June 2023 bride in Snohomish, WA. Neil & Fiona of MXBloom were our power couple duo that provided both photography & videography services. Back in fall of 2022, they did our engagement shoot. We originally weren't that interested in doing one, but that was one of the best decisions because it allowed us to interact with Fiona (& Neil) before our big day. She directed us, captured our moments beautifully, and was so fun to work with. On our big day, Neil & Fiona were a rockstar team! They were professional, polite, AND also so much fun to have around! What I found particularly striking was their ability to capture the candid and posed moments throughout the day, without us feeling like we had to break from "being in the moment" (if that makes sense.) You could tell throughout the entire time, they were both "on" and trying to identify all the amazing, key moments to photograph/video. There were several times we had to shift our timeline during the wedding, and they were both very responsive and accommodating to those changes. They worked so well with our DJ/MC Alan (which by the way, is such an important aspect - vendors being able to work together like one team.) Their service and value provided was worth every cent. And given our wedding was a blending of our Asian (Chinese/Vietnamese) heritage and Western upbringing, we felt Fiona & Neil were the PERFECT people to document our big day. It was also such a touching moment seeing how my parents, who speak Chinese Mandarin, were able to make conversation with Neil & Fiona. Oh, one other mind-blowing fact. Fiona was about 7.5 months pregnant when she was working on our wedding day. Yet, the way she carried herself and energy she brought, you couldn't tell she was pregnant at all! A superwoman! If you're planning on having a wedding (or any other life milestones). If you're planning on finding ONE company that does both photography & videography (which I highly recommend). If you're planning on having a highly talented, professional team document your big day - hire MXBloom. Also, if you're planning on having an Asian/Asian-leaning wedding, Neil & Fiona are the choice for you.

Thanks Ana and I highly recommend her work.

Joanna Monger was recommended to us by our venue's owner, Sharon. Upon viewing her portfolio, I was…read moremesmerized by the authenticity that was captured in her photography; they featured genuine, beautiful moments. They looked like lovely pictures of real, happy people - not overly-processed and cinematic. This is exactly the type of style I wanted for our micro-wedding. I generally dislike having my photo taken, and I'm notorious among my friends and family for refusing to be photographed during events. In spite of that, naturally I expected to endure many pictures on my wedding day. Even with my reservations, it all passed so quickly and easily! No feelings of overwhelm, exhaustion, frustration, or impatience. To begin with, we had a Zoom call to serve as our introduction. My distaste for being seen digitally extends to video chats, but Joanna immediately helped put me at ease. She is an expert in her field and specializes in people who are less comfortable with having their photo taken. She offered logistical support in planning our day, as well as the emotional support that comes with having an ally who can understand your position and work with you. She is so kind and personable, which is perfect for those of us who are a little more on the timid side. In terms of the day of, she was already at the venue well before the rest of us arrived. In between taking some get-ready shots, she even helped my family member get into a very tight-fitting dress. I genuinely don't know if we could have wrangled that zipper up without Joanna's help! After that, she gave a brief lesson to my person-of-honor, showing how to properly fluff out my dress's long train behind me. Additionally, I noticed she was skilled with remembering the names of our close family and wedding-party members. Joanna is so organized and swift with her camera. Despite beginning our ceremony a little later than scheduled, she managed to shoot every photo we wanted within our tight timeframe of just two hours - with a few minutes to spare, too! She's also great at giving clear direction to help improve positioning and posing. And it all flew by so fast. She had our photos ready with astonishing speed (just one week later!), and they were just as wonderful as I had hoped! These are exactly what I wished our wedding pictures would look like. I'm so happy with the variety of different shots Joanna managed to capture, and I'm in disbelief of how well they turned out. I couldn't be happier with the service she provided to us on our special day. I would highly recommend her to anybody, but especially to others who might be less confident in front of the camera.

In our first meeting, she asked about areas of my body I didn't like so she could angle me appropriately and avoid the usual awkward pics. I did a Boudoir photo shoot with her for my husband's wedding gift and she captured all the best of me while still making feel beautiful in my own skin. Our wedding was such an amazing day and Joanna made a schedule to keep us on track and got EVERY photo we asked for. Choosing our pictures for the final printed album was a breeze and well worth the wait! I cannot recommend her enough! I am forever grateful for finding her on Google and taking a meeting with her! I knew within the first 15 minutes that she would take wonderful care of me and my husband on our day! Thank you Joanna!

We were really bad about setting a specific timeline for the day-of until the week before and Melissa was understanding and flexible with whatever needed to happen even with last-minute planning. She took nice family portraits for us and we had a blast taking our couples shots with her down on the beach. I'm a naturalist nerd and delighted in the fact that she is too, as we kept pausing to exclaim over beach-combing finds and incorporating things like sand dollars and peeling madrona bark into our photos. She did an excellent job balancing our requests for certain backdrops and types of shots with her own professional suggestions, and we couldn't be happier with how the photos turned out! She was extremely prompt with the turn-around. Sneak peeks the day after (!) and our whole portfolio just 2.5 weeks after! Wow! If you want someone who's a down-to-earth person AND a fabulous photographer, we highly recommend Melissa! We'd hire her again in a heartbeat.

Irene is AMAZING! She photographed our wedding this last summer, and picking her was one of my…read morefavorite parts of the entire wedding journey. I am not usually super comfortable with taking photos, but she made it feel so natural and easy. She captured so many priceless moments with my family and loved ones, most of the time I didn't even know she was there unless we were posing! I am beyond happy with the incredible work she did for us, and the time she took to be sure everything was perfect. She even walked us through downtown tourists and traffic on a busy summer day to be sure we got to the locations we wanted, and brought us to some we didn't know about and ended up loving! Every time I called or emailed, she was there with a quick and helpful response, which definitely helped to alleviate some of the wedding planning stress. She truly captured not only people, but emotions, who my husband and I are together and the love that we share. The photos she created allow us to share the story of our love and special day, and we are going to cherish this forever!

It was such a lovely mix of candid and editorial while looking like us (or a slightly nicer version of us) the entire time. She got our photos back to us very quickly and gave us some sneak previews along the way. I would strongly recommend her for any of your photography needs, we are so pleased and have chosen her.
