I cannot imagine anyone having done a better or more professional, fun and quality job than Mhari. Our engagement pictures were fantastic. I have received so many compliments and more importantly, we absolutely love them. She did such a fantastic job of capturing the essence of 'us.' She was such a joy to work with. Her communication regarding schedule and other logistics arrangements were efficient and clear. She responded promptly and answered all my many questions. Mhari is friendly, professional and does superior work.

I cannot wait to see our wedding pictures, I know they will be amazing!

Mhari was a dream come true. I was married in Seattle but live in Arizona. I never even met her until the wedding day! However, she did offer a sit-down before hand. It was just a swamped weekend!
She cares so much about her clients and wants to give them the best experience on the wedding day. She took amazing pictures! She created a beautiful album as well. It tells a great story and I will treasure it the rest of my life.
She was so easy to get a hold of and responded quickly to all my comments and questions. When I first called her, I called her cell phone. She was driving and busy. But she pulled over and took the time to talk. She didn't make me feel rushed.
This is a complete gush-fest, but she really was amazing and I want everyone to use her.

I'm so glad that we hired Mhari to be our photographer. She was so easy to work with on the day, we wanted someone who we wouldn't necessarily notice for most of the event - and she was perfect in this way. We also requested a limited number of posed pictures, these were executed beautifully, but didn't take too much time, again, exactly what we were looking for.

Mhari is completely professional, she came prepared for the weather (rain) and was able to take some really fantastic photographs despite some of the less than desirable conditions. It's also worth mentioning that she has a really nice presence about her, very calm and composed, which is a great asset on an otherwise hectic day.

We've had lots of positive feedback from friends and family about how the pictures turned out, having read the other glowing reviews and speaking with Mhari on the phone beforehand I had a feeling that they were going to be good - I was however pleasantly surprised to have my expectations surpassed. I really could not have asked for more.

I could not have been more satisfied with Mhari's professionalism, and her overall work. She took absolutely wonderful photos on my wedding day. What I found extremely helpful was the months before the wedding she took the time to ask what type of photographs you want, and she takes the time to get to know you. Figure out your personality so the photos match your style. Everyone was amazed with how well she blended herself in, you barely even realize she was there. My sister used her services also for her big day, and her friend had also introduced her to Mhari. All of us have nothing but great things to say about her work,and just the person she is. I hope you future brides out there find this helpful! You will not be disappointed in the least bit. I, along with many others I'm sure, highly recommend Mhari Scott Photography. You'd be passing up a great opportunity if you didn't. Blessings!

Mhari was GREAT to work with, professionally and personally! She captured so many great moments from our wedding day and the pictures came out beautiful and just what i wanted!! We had such a big selection of pictures to choose from at the end that i ended up picking a ton for our wedding album! Everytime i look at our wedding pictures, i can remember each moment in the day that each picture was taken, which i love being able to do. I would recommend Mhari and her work to any future bride!!

Mhari was great to work with at our wedding in Montgomery County, PA. She took beautiful photos, captured some really priceless moments, was easy to contact when we had questions, and extremely kind during the hectic process of planning a wedding. I would definitely suggest her to anyone looking for very artistic view of your wedding. Her price is extremely reasonable, mostly because her package does not include an album. However, she signs off on the rights to all 2,000 photos that she provides to you on DVDs. You can then pick and choose what you want to include in an album and have one made on your own. I believe she will also make an album for you for an additional cost.

Mhari did seriously AMAZING work for us on our wedding day. My husband and I had very high expectations based on the work she had shared with us when we first met, and our own photos exceeded them.

Booking:
Before finding Mhari, we had a really difficult time tracking down the perfect wedding photographer. My husband himself is a photographer, so we had the highest standards in mind with regard to that aspect of our wedding. But we also had a tight budget as we were paying for everything ourselves, and anyone who was remotely decent was asking really exorbitant fees.

But then we found Mhari. An amazing photographer with a portfolio to kill. Her pricing was SO reasonable taking into consideration her great level of talent. And she was the ONLY person we spoke with (more than) willing to work with us to create a custom photo package that wasn't only something we could afford, but was exactly what we wanted. And she discussed all of this with us in person over a cup of coffee. She didn’t put any pressure on us to make a decision on the spot.

I think all of a day later we told Mhari that we’d love to have her as our photographer. Her contract was only two pages long and was very straightforward, honest, and easy to understand. She even included her contingency plan, should something unexpected happen with her scheduling the day of our wedding (though, thankfully, nothing did ).

Pre-Wedding:
Mhari's communication in the months leading up to the wedding was fantastic. She was friendly, easy to get a hold of, and fast to respond. She took her time working through even the smallest of all details with us. I think that’s how we knew that everything would turn out perfectly the day of the wedding—and it really did, despite a rainy day!

Wedding:
I thought the rain was going to put a huge damper on the day, because the location/photos were, to us, the most important detail of the entire day (aside from getting married, of course!), but she made it all work—beautifully.

Mhari was extremely flexible and willing to take any and all of the different shots we requested, despite the weather. She wasn't afraid to pull out her equipment and let one of our friends tag along as her official umbrella holder.

Our guests also paid Mhari plenty of compliments: they observed that she was always everywhere she needed to be to capture both the traditional and the unexpected moments, yet she was completely unobtrusive at the same time.

Post-Wedding:
Mhari kept excellent communication with us even after the wedding and mailed our photos within a matter of weeks. The DVDs of our photos arrived in a uniquely and beautifully-wrapped package, and were inserted in a custom-made disc holder. The discs themselves were even lightscribed with one of our own photos!

We remember Mhari whenever we look at our photos, and I have no doubts that that will be the case forever. I'm only sad that she's moved away from the Philadelphia area—we won't have an opportunity to recommend her to any of our friends here. But hopefully this review can help anyone in the Seattle area make that decision!

Mhari was one of the first vendors that we booked for our wedding. We were immediately impressed by her work and photography style, but also appreciated how comfortable she made us feel during our initial meeting and subsequently at the engagement shoot and wedding. Mhari was attentive to the details of the day, took the pictures we had asked for, and captured beautiful moments that otherwise may have gone unnoticed or slipped from our memories. Her prices are affordable, and being able to reproduce the pictures whenever we like has been wonderfully convenient.

Mhari is incredible - hands-down the absolute best photographer I have ever worked with. I put on a lot of events in my professional life, so I've worked with a number of photographers. Mhari understood exactly what I wanted (candid shots that really captured the moment); she was beyone flexible (stayed on with the smaller group of us who went out after the reception); she was completely unobtrusive (I never knew she was there. My husband and I were at a wedding recently where the photographer kept interrupting conversations to ask people to pose so she could get a shot. We kept saying to each other, "Mhari would never have done that!"). And the quality of the shots she got... I don't think I could say enough about how amazingly beautiful the photos were. On top of it, her price could not be beat. Mhari was an absolute pleasure to work with, and I would recommend her to everyone (I wish she hadn't moved out west, so I could recommend her to my friends here in NYC!).

Mhari is a very creative photographer. She does excellent work! Her photojournalistic approach allowed me to get almost 1000 candid pictures that I never would have gotten from still pictures alone. The pictures she had taken from my wedding completely told the story if you did not attend. On top of that, I almost didn't even notice she was there the whole day! She is completely affordable and you even get a personalized picture CD of your photos (both edited and unedited) and she places your photos on a website for you to share at your own discretion. All I can say is...EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT!

Mhari was amazing. She let us know beforehand how everything would work with posed portraits and took the pictures WE wanted.

Congratulations and welcome to this fabulous new journey in your lives together! Planning a wedding can be both a wonderful and an overwhelming process. I am committed not only to providing you with the highest quality photography possible, but also to helping you plan a wedding that is inherently photogenic. Every wedding I photograph is a creative endeavor that I commit myself to entirely – I don’t believe in assembly-line wedding coverage.  In addition to taking some time to get to know one another, at our pre-wedding consultation we’ll collaborate to create a strategy for how you can get the most out of your wedding coverage based on the advantages and limitations of your venue and timeline. In the meantime, put your feet up and look around!

You can view my fancy portfolio site at www.mhariscott.com, but beware this is a flash-based site. It will require a bit of patience while the images load. It’s well worth it, though, I promise!

If you’d prefer to visit my blog site (in html), you can head on over to www.mhariscottphotography.com and take a look at some wedding coverage from this past season. 

You can always contact me to ask questions or arrange a consultation. I can be emailed at mhari@mhariscott.com or phoned at 206-588-9747. Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you!

FAQ for Mhari Scott Photography

What primary photographic style do you identify with?
Contemporary, Photojournalism, Portraiture
What do your packages include?
Albums, Custom Graphic Design, Digital Files, Flush Mount, High Resolution Images, Matted Prints, Prints, Proof CD of All Images
Do you have liability insurance?
Yes
Do you offer special techniques such as hand-coloring or toning?
I edit every single image that the couple receives, first in Lightroom, then in Photoshop. It's a very detail-oriented process that involves not only custom-tailoring the color-balance and the clarity of tones throughout the image, but also removing blemishes and the occasional piece of trash on the ground that would take away from the final image.
Do you have experience shooting in various lighting situations?
Nearly every venue, both indoors and outdoors, presents a unique lighting challenge that takes experience and versatility to appropriately adapt to. While "natural light" photography is a wonderful ideal to strive for, the natural light can often be of poor quality and contain unflattering color casts. I take the utmost care in assessing the lighting situation unique to every venue and tailoring our lighting solution specifically to the challenges it presents. The goal is to figure out the lighting beforehand so that you can make awesome images when the moments actually happen.
Is your media preference film or digital?
Digital, all the way. There are so many benefits: unlimited shooting ability, immediate feedback, better low-light performance, and the many glorious wonders of Photoshop, not to mention the environmental benefits of digital vs. chemical processing.
How many photographers do you work with?
I have a go-to second shooter that I have personally trained, and she attends most of my weddings with me. In the event that she is unavailable, I have a network of professional photographers that I draw on for second shooting when needed.
Do you guarantee your presence at the actual event?
Of course! It wouldn't be quite fair to sign the contract then send someone else!
Do you sometimes book yourself for more than one event in a day? Weekend?
I never, ever, ever book more than one wedding in a day. I only book two weddings in a weekend with very careful consideration to the timing of both - I don't consider shooting a second in a weekend unless I have ample time to recharge and reset all of my gear as well as get some rest time in to recharge my creative mind. A burned-out photographer doesn't do anyone any good!
Do you have a replacement photographer in case you become unavailable on the day of the event?
I have never missed a wedding (and "becoming unavailable" would only happen in the face of dire sickness or emergency) but I have a network of 30+ photographers that willingly act as a safety net for the rare occasion that a photographer cannot make it to a wedding.
What kind of equipment do you typically bring with you on the day-of?
I bring three camera bodies, 10 lenses, 64GB worth of memory cards, 3 flashes, remote triggers, light stands (and some fancy gear for mounting my flashes on windows and in doorjambs), an umbrella or two, lots and lots of extra batteries, battery chargers, and a bride-saver macgyver kit with sunscreen, safety pins, double-sided tape, travel-sized deodorant, toothbrush, band-aids... did I mention the kitchen sink?
Do you bring back-up equipment to the event in case of malfunction?
Not only do I have backup equipment, but I have an all-out backup system. I'm horrified at the thought of shooting a wedding with one camera on one memory card - I use six different memory cards in 2-3 different cameras throughout the day to ensure that there will always be images from your wedding even in the event of an all-out equipment failure.
Do you charge hourly or full day?
I have a base-rate of $2500 that covers a six-hour day with no second shooter. A second shooter and additional hours are available at an hourly rate or in discounted package deals with fabulous things like albums and engagement shoots.
Are you available to shoot extra hours? If yes, how much do you charge for extra hours?
Yup! I charge $200 per additional wedding-day hour, but packages with additional hours added in at a discount are totally the way to go.
What is your policy on taking breaks? If you require a meal break, do you require that the client provide your meal?
I typically sit down to eat when the guests sit down to eat (I find that it helps guests appreciate me more when I don't take their picture while putting food in their mouths). I've never gone so far as to require that a client provide my meal, but in my experience, this is the way things tend to fall into place. I think most people figure that a well-nourished photographer is a happy photographer.
Do you charge for travel?
I travel to locations up to 60 miles away without any extra charge. Some of my weddings are outside of that range and are subject to a modest travel fee based on mileage and travel time. For weddings 2.5 hours away or more the cost of overnight lodging is also included in the travel fee. Travel costs to destination locations are assessed on an individual basis.
How soon after the event are the proofs ready for viewing?
Approximately 4 weeks.
In what format are the initial proofs offered?
Proofs are initially viewed in an online gallery and all images are provided, full-sized, on DVD for the client to keep.
How long can the client keep the proofs?
Forever!
Do you retain the copyright for the photos?
Only the right to advertise my business with them. The client has the right to print and distribute them for their personal use for the rest of their lives.
Do you reserve the right to publish the photos?
I hang onto pretty much any rights that pertain to advertising and promotion of my business - if that means that I'll let a bridal magazine or blog site feature them, then yes - I do include that in my copyright release form.
Do you provide the digital files and/or negatives (or copies of the negatives) to the client?
Sure do!
Will images be available for viewing online?
Yup!
What kind of albums do you offer?
Beautiful ones! Currently I offer both leather albums and vegan album options. At the moment I am only offering albums that are photographically printed (I stray away from press-printed ones as they are not archival and, in my opinion, not worth the investment of paying someone to design them for you).
When will the client get the final album?
Typically 8-12 weeks from the time they submit their must-have picture selections. The couple gets up to two album revisions, should they want them, so the time it takes for them to look at the proof pages and decide whether they want to change anything varies a bit from one wedding to the next. The turnaround on the albums I use is very fast by industry standards.
