Behind the Lens
ABOUT Mirelle
favorite things, people and places
Things I love: paper hearts, cool weather, a good pair of Italian made shoes, and framing paintings my kids have made.
If you’re having trouble pronouncing my name, it rhymes with Pharrell (as in Williams… as in Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth!). I have been a full-time, fine art photographer for 14 years.
I am an Arkansas born, San Diego raised, UC Santa Barbara educated Filipino-American with a French and Scottish name.
Aside from photography and film, I also enjoy traveling, colorful textiles, reading, visiting art museums, and quality beach time in the winter.
I'm Mirelle

my favorite things:
My husband and I have two great kids. His career is wildly different from mine, but we have both been blessed with opportunities to explore the world and learn about different cultures with our kids. We have enjoyed lots of time on the road and in the air, but also love being at home and having friends and family over.

When I first started my business, my goal was to see my work in a magazine... never did I imagine this!
It has been an honor to have my work frequently published with many print magazines and online publications including The Knot, Martha Stewart Weddings, Brides, Modern Luxury Weddings, Style Me Pretty, Magnolia Rouge, Destination I Do, 100 Layer Cake, French Style, California Wedding Day, Green Wedding Shoes, Snippet & Ink, and many more.
It is my goal to photograph your wedding in the form of timeless images full of light, color, and emotion. My style is both journalistic and editorial – capturing unexpected moments while also composing beautiful portraits. I want my clients to relive their wedding through their photographs, and treasure them as family heirlooms. Thank you for considering me as your photographer.
a blend of significant instances, fleeting moments, and beauty that is enduring.
Your wedding will have an exclusive story...
xo, Mirelle
