    Mel and Brad were fantastic. We met with a few photographers, all who showed us portfolios of photos that fit with our style, but we immediately clicked with the Watsons and knew they were the team for us. They were up front with their pricing and honestly told us the level of service they thought we would need, even showing us ways we could save money when we had a bit of sticker shock. They were timely, professional, and friendly in their email ahead of the event. They were on time (even early) on the day of the wedding and kept us at ease in front of the camera (totally not a natural place for us to be). They were just fun to be around. I had fears of long, painful formal family photos but Mel and Brad were quick and managed to get a good shot of everyone (even babies looking at the camera!) in every one. Their photos of the ceremony and reception took my breath away. They have been their usual timely, professional, and friendly selves in all ordering after the wedding, even when I've emailed Mel over and over with different questions about ordering options. They are wonderful and easily one vendor we would book again in a heartbeat. I cannot recommend La Dolce Vita highly enough!

    Melanie and Bradford were excellent from the beginning. We spent a lot of hours searching for amazing photographers, and their style fit the bill. We had a lot of fun shooting our engagement pics with them, and they were gorgeous, really works of art. They play with light and scenery in a very artistic and unique way, and the photographs are incredible. We have seen a few shots of our wedding so far, and they are definitely the same. They were both very professional and fun to be around at the same time. We would recommend them to anyone.

    Melanie and Bradford are perfection. Having a husband and wife team who immediately care and respect their clients was showcased early on in our meetings with them. They have top-notch services that confirm pay,ent dates, have an amazing eye for great photography, and are a pleasure to have by your side on your wedding day. I can't recommend them enough to document each step of your wedding day.

    We are so pleased with Melanie and Bradford. They are easy to work with and have such an 'eye' for unique photos - truly above and beyond any wedding photographer that I have seen.

    To say I love La Dolce Vita would be an understatement! Melanie and Brad are so incredible, I wish I could get married again just so we can spend more time with them. From the minute we met them I knew they would be a perfect match for us. They're funny, sweet, caring and professional. Mel was kind enough to read my crazy week before the wedding emails and respond with helpful tips. They even helped recommend a makeup artist for me! They were always on time and ready to go. They'll go the distance to get the best shot (Brad has been spotted hiding in bushes and trees). They are a total joy and really made our wedding day special, calming our nerves and reminding us that this was about "us". I would recommend them to ANYONE!

    I could not have asked for better photographers :) It was so important that we felt comfortable with our photographers. For me, personality is up there with quality. Mel and Brad at La Dolce are more than exceptional photographers, they're exceptional people! And the pictures. Oh, the pictures are amazing and we've had so many compliments and even interest in putting the pictures on wedding websites! La Dolce Vita is definitely one of the best choices we made concerning our wedding.

    Melanie and Brad were the perfect photographers! They were the perfect mix of fun and professional! They got right down to business when needed, but appreciated a laugh along with my crazy wedding party. They listened to the details about my day, and remembered each one. The photos are amazing and their finishing touches are out of this world. They were truly the BEST people to work with and I could not have imagined my day without them!!!

    Melanie and Bradford were absolutely fabulous! They made us and our wedding party feel so comfortable and they definitely captured the spirit of our wedding day. They helped us to understand the process and were very easy to get in touch with as we were preparing for the wedding. I could not be more pleased with the photos we have from our wedding. The images are lovely and are beautiful pieces of artwork for our home. These two are extremely talented. We highly recommend La Dolce Vita Studio! Their presence allowed me to relax and have fun, knowing that each special moment would be captured in detail.

    Mel and Brad were so awesome to work with. Their work is completely stunning and they always made us feel like rock stars in front of the camera. From start to finish they were so professional and treated us like we were family. We could not have imagined our wedding with out them. We love all of our photos and our album is amazing. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants photos that are truly unique.

    They were great! They took some really beautiful and unique pictures. The only problem we had was that there were no pictures with the just the bride and her mother or the groom and his mother.
