More about Mekina
I first realized my joy for documenting this important day when I photographed my first wedding six years ago. The loving embraces, the smile on your groom's face when he first sees you and the laughter filling the room as much as it does our hearts, I love it all! Most importantly, capturing fun couples in love puts a smile on my face and allows me to do what I am most passionate about.
When I am not capturing a gorgeous love story, I enjoy some binge watching, traveling with my boo and getting some major snuggle time in with my nieces and nephews . I recently made the move from Manhattan to Morristown, NJ, where I love having a car, exploring my new neighborhood and working on my dance moves in a bit more space.
