Rhianna is amazing in every way! I don't even know where to begin.

I met Rhianna when picking out a wedding photographer 3 years ago. She took my wedding photos (through another vendor.) Rhianna happily met up with my husband and I two weeks before the wedding in Santa Barbara to go over photo options and do a complete walkthrough.

On our wedding day Rhianna was early and ready to go. She made us feel so comfortable and at ease. She has such a fun, bubbly energy about her that it made our nerves go away. Her laughter and positivity is contagious! We laughed more with her than anyone else on our wedding day. Our photos from that day are absolutely stunning!

Two years after our wedding, I reached out to Rhianna to have her take family photos with our one year old son. We are relocating away from Southern CA and I wanted special beach photos to remember this time in our lives - so these photos had to be perfect! She spent so much quality time with us to get the photos just right. We got our photos on time as expected as well. It was a great experience!

Rhianna is extremely talented and great to work with! I would have her take all of my family photos for the rest of my life if possible! She is easy to communicate with, timely, and delivers high quality work. Her pricing is a steal also. Worth every penny!

I highly recommend Rhianna for a wedding, family portraits, or any other important event you want to capture. She puts her all into her clients. Rhianna is the best of the best! -Stacey & Peter (2019)

Rhianna doesn't just take your photos, she tells your story! And she does so with tender love and care and all the flourish and glam your heart desires! I had the pleasure of spending quality time with her prior to our elopement day and, to know Rhianna is to love her. I can not talk enough about her knowledge of posing and placement and light! Our most special day was illuminated with her passion and expertise on an overcast day. She served as our witness which may have been the cherry on top. Her relaxed energy put us at ease and we truly could not imagine our most special day going any better. Rhianna is your professional, yet fun go-to for any occasion! HIGHLY, highly recommend! -J&J (2019)

Rhianna is amazing!!! We hired her for our wedding and not a day goes by that people who were present still bring up the awesome photographer and photos we have from our awesome wedding. It was truly a great party with friends and family and Rhianna and her staff were able to capture every moment in perfection! My husband and I love our photos and were so happy we chose Rhianna Mercier Photography. Rhianna also did our engagement photos. She inspired us to do a shoot at the local fair. It was so much fun and put us at easy with her on our wedding day. We love all our photos and would 100% recommend her! -D&J

Hiring a photographer based out of California for our Long Island, NY wedding that we had never met before was quite the risk ..but I need to be clear when i say that we got so much more than a photographer. We got an entire experience and a new life long friend and despite our geographical distance , we will never use anyone other than Rhianna again. The energy that radiates off of this women is infectious... she made us feel so comfortable from the first time we FaceTimed until the last moments of the night when she personally drove us back to our hotel . She kept us laughing and smiling by being her natural self and by introducing the most creative and fun concepts for photo ops. We never felt like there was a photographer in the room bothering us or invading our space , only a life long friend sharing our experience with us. Our families and friends have not been able to stop talking about how amazing she was and how they have never had a better experience with a photographer . This woman is seriously super human .. I guarantee you will never meet anyone like her. In addition to being an amazing person , the quality of her work is beyond impressive and from what we have seen so far, has captured the love we share beyond any picture you can imagine. I could go on for pages and pages detailing how much we love Rhianna and her work but really the experience you are guaranteed to have with her is indescribable . There are no words that can accurately portray how wonderful your event will be with her involved .

Rhianna is fantastic!! She did my engagement photos and wedding photos!! They came out so amazing and wonderful!! She really captured my husband and I in a true environment and made us feel comfortable during the whole experience! She was almost invisible during our wedding so nobody felt awkward or like they had to "pose" unless they wanted to, yet she managed to capture all our important moments!! She was great at communication and knew exactly what I wanted!        -Kerri & Matt

We genuinely could not have envisioned having photographers as remarkable as Rhianna and her team. I can't even keep track of how many of our guests have reached out to us to tell us how much they loved our photographers (really). Rhianna has this incredible ability to connect and mesh with every type of person, and made the photography experience one of the most enjoyable and memorable parts of our wedding. Oh, and the pictures are out of this world. Perfection. Could go on like this all day... Just book them. Rhianna - you rock. Thank you so much!

Wow!!! We wanted some simple photos of us to hang around our place and at work etc.. I called Rhianna up and she walked us through the entire process immediately. We met up over coffee and discussed outfits, location, and exactly what it was we wanted. She was so easy to talk to and work with. Not only did she have us laughing but she was completely professional. All we had to do was show up and she did the rest. We got our photos back and were blown away with the results. We got an experience that not only surpassed her rates, but the photos were so incredible. She lead us through the entire experience with comfort and ease about the timing etc. It was like hanging out with my best friend for that time. 
Are there any more fancy descriptive words to throw in here to display me squealing in happiness right now??!?? :) - L&D (2016)

 Rhianna was a fantastic spark on our wedding day. Her high energy was contagious and she managed to get so many great shots of our very large families and everyone in attendance. We didn't do an engagement shoot so I was a little worried that getting on the same page would be a problem - but it wasn't at all. She was flexible with requests and made everyone feel like a million bucks. She also came with a second photographer as part of the price to capture multiple angles and locations. I highly recommend her! -J&W

Rhianna is a truly amazing photographer.  Our photos are outrageously gorgeous, and they perfectly capture the feelings, personalities, experiences, and lively pulse of our wedding.  I am awed by how sensitive and artful they all are.  My husband and I feel we are living the wedding again when we look at our photos; what an incredible gift this is!  I would also add that Rhianna was a delight to work with.  She is warm, playful, intelligent, and creative, but also capable of fading into the background; we were never anxious or "in the spotlight" when we didn't want to be.  This allowed us to relax completely and contributed very significantly to our wedding's joyful, playful, and intimate atmosphere.  In short, we couldn't imagine a better experience! Love, Sarah and Mitchell (Anna Delores Clients 2017)

 We hired Rhianna as our wedding photographer in Santa Barbara, and were extremely impressed. From her prompt communication before the event, to her way of getting all of the pictures we'll want for years to come without inhibiting the special day, working with her was a breeze. She was great at making portrait time fun and natural, and kept all of us entertained with her can-can moves. And, of course, her photography is amazing. Would definitely recommend.     With Love, Erika + John
