About

Sure we could write about how we were in love with photography ever since we picked up our grandfathers film camera or how we knew in our teenage rebellion years, that we always wanted to grow up to be photographers... but that would be bullshit.

Since 2008, we've followed our passion for producing a unique photography experience, filled with natural smiles, candid moments, and our clients' true personalities. We strive to offer our couples a little something different, with completely customizable packages and two distinct, yet complementary lighting styles, providing you with an expansive photojournalistic portfolio. Our MMP client family is also given access to award winning GraphiStudio heirloom style albums, archival prints, and unique wall art items and parent gifts.

What we do isn't just about the photography, but getting to know two people who fell in love and want to share their story. We're not everyone's cup of tea (or Scotch as Mr. McClain prefers), but we are a damn good fit for those who are looking for something nontraditional. In our opinion, cookie cutters are for baked goods (YUM CARBS), not wedding photography.

Simply the best

Melissa & Jason are two of the most funniest and fun people that I have met in along time.
We worked with Melissa for our engagement photos which came with our package we selected. Those pictures turned out to be what I invisioned and then some. We also used her for our wedding photos.
I love how they use all the natural elements from outside & you to really capture some awesome photos. We let Melissa & Jason run with whatever they thought would look cool in pictures. That was the best
decision that we made we ended up with some amazing photos that we are both obessed with and can't wait to hang them on our walls in our home. Melissa & Jason are laid back but will have you laughing so hard your face hurts from smiling so much.
I cannot say enough about how easy it was to work with these two during our big day. Melissa kept us on schedule and we were able to make it to the alter on time. They both helped direct how to pose or fixed us if we needed to be posed differently. They are just fantastic and can’t recommend them enough!!

Top Quality Photography Team!

Melissa and Jason were so much fun to work with! They were incredibly friendly, easy going yet professional, and very helpful throughout our planning process. They were both very easy going, yet professional and highly capable. They were fantastic at setting up shots, positioning us and overall making things interesting. We spent most of our time during photos laughing and generally having a great time! I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for a photographer in the Harrisburg area!
