About

Hello and Thank you for visiting me on Wedding Wire!

Please take a moment and browse the gallery of photos and send me an email if you would like additional information.

Your Wedding Day is such a beautiful event filled with moments of you, your family, and dearest friends.
I think wedding photos should show all of these wonderful moments in the most timeless and authentic form.

Photography is such a thoughtful art form and each wedding is so unique. Its what I love about photographing weddings...giving you, your family, and friends a timeless and artistic keepsake to look back on.

Sincerely,
Melissa Hayes

We would absolutely recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a wedding photographer, especially if you are looking for someone who is willing to think outside the box and get creative. Her work is truly a work of art. In addition to being incredibly talented, Melissa and Casey were an absolute delight to work with. We had a large wedding, wedding party, and families with a very tight timeline to take photos before and after our ceremony. Melissa was able to keep us on schedule and capture the photos we were looking for. She helped us select our locations and we are so pleased with the end product. The photos from Melissa captured the beauty of the day and also all of the details we in the decor at our reception. Melissa was very easy to work with and flexible. She also helped me create a timeline for the day of and was very responsive leading up to the wedding.

When all is said and done, you are left with your memories and your wedding photos. Luckily we worked with Melissa and Casey and they did the most amazing job capturing all the little and big moments that made our wedding day so special. From the moment we looked at Melissa's website we knew we loved her work, from the moment we first talked with her we became fast friends, and when we had our engagement photoshoot we were certain we picked the right photographer. Not only is Melissa able to capture the moment in a thoughtful and creative way, she also made us feel completely at ease when we were nervous (and kind of awkward!) during our engagement shoot. Melissa and Casey were a total pleasure to work with before, during and after our wedding, I could not recommend them highly enough. They are fun to be around, professional and so very talented. There are so many details that go into planning a wedding it's easy to get caught up, but a good photographer that is both talented and easy to work with is so important. Melissa and Casey are both those things and so much more!

Melissa is wonderful to work with, talented and professional. We clicked with her immediately upon our first meeting and knew she was the right fit. Her work is absolutely stunning - gorgeous photos! She has a great eye and was able to capture all those key moments and details throughout the day. We were very surprised at the quick turnaround in getting our photos back and even the CD was beautifully presented in a fabric folio. We had a huge wedding party and Melissa was able to keep everyone on task in a calm and courteous manner. She was very efficient and captured all the photos on our must have list. We even had a sample of preview pictures posted to her site within a day of the wedding. Perfect mix of artistic and documentary shots. We were extremely happy with her work and all our interactions with her.
