Outstanding

Melissa was just incredible. We are so glad we chose her!

From day one, it was clear that Melissa was the right choice. She is organized, professional, hardworking, creative, knowledgeable, personable, and friendly. When we first met her in her studio (where we were greeted with two delightful glasses of champagne), it felt like we were talking to an old friend. She's great to work with, and I'm happy to report that her warm demeanor absolutely extends to all of her interactions with guests on your wedding day. She not only took great photos (as you can see in the examples) but she made our wedding more fun because she was part of it.

Melissa has an eye for beautiful photos and a gift for making people smile and laugh. She's basically everything you could want in a wedding photographer. You cannot go wrong with her!
