    Captured Every Moment

    Heather Mrva Photography was an absolute joy to work with! She took the time to get to know us before the wedding, ensuring she understood our style and the moments that were most important to capture. Heather kept us organized with our wedding party and made sure every photo we wanted was taken. She captured our day beautifully, preserving memories we will cherish forever, and her warm, pleasant demeanor made the entire experience even more enjoyable.

    Best photographer and person ever!

    Heather was such a joy to have on our side and was the perfect person to capture our wedding weekend! From the very start, we could tell her passion and genuine love for capturing real moments was so unique and refreshing! every step of the way from our intitial talks, to our engagement shoot, pre-wedding planning, to the actual wedding weekend, and delivering our photos after Heather was so warm and intentional in everything she did. She did a fantastic job capturing all the moment that were important to us, but most importantly capturing the true joy and magic of our wedding weekend with capturing all the candid and little moments in between that we will cherish forever. Not only is Heather so abundantly talented in her craft, but she is such a calm and uplifting presence. We got countless compliments from our wedding guests commenting on how kind and accommodating Heather and her team were throughout our wedding weekend. We would 1000% recommend and will continue to recommend Heather to anyone we know!

    A Picture-Perfect Experience with Heather Mrva!

    We can't say enough great things about Heather. From the start, she was incredibly professional, always early, and quick to respond. Her friendly and approachable nature made us feel comfortable right away, which helped us relax during posed photos.

    Heather took the time to ask about the moments that mattered most to us and made sure to capture each one. The photos turned out beautifully, allowing us to relive our special day through her stunning work.

    Her dedication to her craft and eagerness to learn were evident throughout the process. Heather truly cares about making your day unforgettable.

    In summary, we cannot rave enough about Heather. She is not only a talented photographer but also a wonderful person who genuinely cares about making your day unforgettable. If you are looking for a photographer who will go above and beyond to capture the magic of your special day, Heather is the one.

    The Best Vendor Choice We Made!

    We are SO glad we chose Heather to capture our wedding day. Heather’s portfolio is impressive, but seeing her work firsthand on our wedding day was even more incredible. Heather is a joy to work with – from the beginning she wanted to know what we wanted out of our wedding day and what we wanted captured. We wanted our wedding to be minimalist and classic and Heather absolutely nailed it. We loved that she allowed us to enjoy our first look and was able to pivot early when there was a threat of rain. Every photo told a story, and we were amazed at how she managed to capture the essence of our day so perfectly. The turnaround time for our sneak peak photos was fantastic – we could almost instantly relive our day over again. Heather went above and beyond. If you're looking for a wedding photographer whose work is beautiful, classic and authentic combined with a person who is warm and calming, look no further!

    Magical Wedding Photographer

    We couldn’t have found a better photographer than Heather to capture our wedding day! Her warmth, kindness, and energy were so apparent in our conversations leading up to the wedding. One thing that stood out to us that Heather mentioned during our planning call was that her goal was to tell the story of our wedding. The photos Heather took are stunningly beautiful, but something unique about her is that she truly has a unique eye for capturing all the moments, small and large, that define your day. From the impromptu boats that passed by our venue to those intimate little gestures that you have with your loved ones, Heather captured it all. Not only that, she was such a positive presence and connected so well with our family and bridal party. We were completely in the moment our entire wedding, nothing felt staged or posed, and although you won’t notice Heather will be there the whole time capturing it all! We look back at our wedding photos and can remember the emotions that we felt in those moments and that’s all thanks to Heather’s amazing work. You’re missing out if you don’t book her!

    Heather is amazing!

    My husband is a wedding photographer, so choosing one for our precious daughter’s wedding day was one of our most important planning decisions. It’s a little daunting to trust someone to do the very thing you do for a living, and the photography is so important…but we chose so PERFECTLY! Looking over Heather’s beautiful portfolio, we knew she could capture all of the beauty of the day, but with her monumental talent she also was able to capture what we truly wanted, the genuine emotions & connections: a whirlwind of laughter, tears and pure joy. The wedding gallery is everything we hoped for, and we are so grateful (and bonus, she was an absolute sweetheart and a joy to hang out with all day) We recommend Heather wholeheartedly!

    Heather is lovely

    Heather is such a special person. I was raised by a wedding photographer, so I was very particular about who I wanted to capture my big day, if it weren't my dad. I can't think of a more perfect person for the job. Not only did Heather take phenomenal photos during our special day, but she was just a super sweet, fun, humble, and positive light of energy to be around, which made me feel super comfortable and taken care of. Heather was super enthusiastic to capture me and my husbands love, as well as my super specific hand made details that I worked so hard on during the planning process. Heather did a 100/10 job and I will forever recommend her to all of my friends and family getting married over the next couple of years. I only have the sneak peaks right now, which she delivered at LIGHTENING SPEED, but I cannot wait to see the rest of the photos. I already have the sneak peaks printed and scattered all over my house. Cannot express how pleased I am! Just look for yourself.

    The best wedding decision we made

    I can’t say enough about Heather and what she meant to our day. After hiring a photographer that disappeared just a few short months before our wedding, we realized it was actually a blessing in disguise. Heather came to our rescue and not only eased our worries, but saved our wedding in so many ways. We have said over and over that she was the best choice we made for our wedding. She took the time to get to know us, the people who are important to us, and what we value in our relationship. Over a glass of wine, we planned the wedding day and went through every detail. I felt like I instantly met a friend that I’d known for years. This feeling put my husband and I at such ease during the craziness that is wedding day. She delivered the most beautiful sneak peek just a day after our wedding. Our friends and family were in awe at how she captured our love and the people we love so flawlessly. Heather is truly a gift and we feel lucky to have not only had her as part of our wedding day, but now a friend. We cannot recommend her enough.

    Your search is over- Heather is phenomenal - Just Book her!

    What can I say! I have photographed my daughter her whole life - I couldn’t do it on her special day! Budget was important - yet, photos were at the top of my list of importance so within’ reason I refused to let coat be total deciding factor- I stressed so hard - honestly several people I looked at were already booked or WAY beyond price range! I went through every photographer available for her date saving the ones that were skillfully a possibility and sent them to my daughter to choose her favorite style/who she wanted to go with! Heather was her girl! . She’ll tell you I was still nervous and she heard about it daily 😊. Today, I look back and am so grateful the others didn’t work out! Heathers photos were better than I could have dreamed!
    She’s more than a photographer- she was there for my girl from beginning to end - she drove my daughter to the venue when I was stuck waiting for family to arrive and change - she came through with the puzzle of bustling her dress when nobody else had a clue! Above and beyond!

    Bottom line - imagine taking your end product wedding photos putting them in order from every little detail …creating a slideshow and reliving your special moments every day- you can! Contact Heather and book now and trust that you can confidently move on to booking your other vendors!
    My daughters package included a engagement session - but was living out of state and didn’t have time to a schedule it …. I still feel that our money was very well spent! We also opted for a second shooter!

    Best part of our wedding

    After looking for photographers in our area, we knew we wanted Heather to photograph our wedding. At the time we were sending in inquiries, she was out on maternity leave but that didn't stop Heather from contacting us and keeping us updated. At our first phone call, we absolutely fell in love with her. We couldn't stop interrupting each other because we were so excited! Heather has this magic to her, she brightens up every room she enters. During our engagement session, she was able to bring out the best of us despite my husband being extremely camera shy. Even after the wedding, we stayed friends and we have hired her for family shoots, and of course my family also LOVES her! Heather is very attentive to her customers and she will take your wishes to another level. She is literally the best thing that happened to our wedding!

    Amazing experience!

    I cannot say enough positive things about Heather. She is an amazing artist, extremely professional, exceptionally kind and friendly. We have so many stunning photos that beautifully captured both our excitement and love as an engaged couple, and from our big day. Heather has a great eye for capturing a stunning moment, whether spontaneous or posed. We were very worried about feeling awkward and uncomfortable at our engagement session, but we forgot about our worries so quickly once we got started! Heather made us feel both at ease and close to each other. She is so easy to work with - super responsive, prompt, and clear in her communications. Anyone would be lucky to have Heather photograph their big life moments. We will be looking her up for future milestones in our lives together!

    I love her

    It has only taken me 2 years to write this review, but hasn’t stopped me from recommending her for any event in the 757 area. My husband and I are not ones for PDA and can be super awkward, but Heather was prepared. By the end of our session we felt like we just made a friend as she was so easy to work with. Her work came out so well and to even get special prints included in the package made it that much better. We have her photos all around the house. We highly recommend her work for whatever event you need covered! You won’t regret it!
