    Amazing!!! Melissa was everything we were looking for. She became part of our celebration and her photos are so creative and beautiful. Very professional but at the same time warm and helpful.
    Thank you Melissa for creating such beautiful memories ??

    Melissa photographed my at-home wedding ceremony and our BBQ celebration the next day. It was a non-traditional ceremony and celebration yet she rolled with it and was so flexible and easy to work with. Since we had our reception the day after the family-only ceremony, Melissa printed out and framed a couple of our ceremony photos to show our guests. It was incredible and SO appreciated. She went above and beyond in every way. I highly recommend Melissa! Our pictures are phenomenal and I can't stop looking at them. I want to get married all over just to work with her again. :-)

    We were so pleased when we received our wedding photos from MelBee Photography. All the pictures came out fabulous! Melissa and her team captured so many wonderful, candid moments that we can share with friends and family for years to come. Melissa was so easy to work with, as she was flexible, patient (especially with family portraits) and creative. We have received so many compliments from the photos we have shared thus far. We certainly plan on using Melissa in the future!

    Melissa is the ABSOLUTE BEST--not only did she take incredible photos, but she was helpful and kept the schedule rolling smoothly. I'd book her again--and again, and again!

    P.S.--She's super good at candid photos (which is great, since I hate posed shots).

    Melissa was an absolutely joy to work with! My husband and I don’t love getting our pictures taken, but right from the start, Melissa made us feel so comfortable. We had a great time during both our engagement shoot and on the day of our wedding. Melissa worked with us leading up to the wedding to help us figure out a timeline and also identify all the important moments we wanted to capture. And the photos are gorgeous—they truly capture the feeling of fun and love that we experienced on the day of the wedding. She is professional, responsive, and fun and easy to work with. We are so thankful that we found her to capture our day and would highly recommend her to others.

    Melissa is an excellent photographer. I'd recommend her to anyone who asks. She was extremely professional, organized, timely, and thoughtful. She's very personable and my husband and I had such a great time with Melissa! I'm so happy we had a chance to work with her.

    Melissa is professional, responsive and truly understood our vision and captured the memories perfectly for our wedding day!

    All the photos were amazing-- especially the way she took advantage of natural lighting.

    I highly recommend hiring Melissa for your wedding or special event. We enjoyed her photography and services so much that we are already thinking about the next occasion we can hire her! We were pleased to receive compliments from our family, friends and other vendors on how great she is to work with every step of the way.

    Melissa was so wonderful to work with and she really listened to what was most important to me for my wedding photos and delivered exceptional work as she always does for our family! She kept everything on schedule despite my rowdy bridal party(mostly groomsmen ofcourse) not cooperating!! She had our pictures edited so quickly and everything was beAutiful!!

    Melissa was absolutely wonderful! Not only did she quickly deliver beautiful pictures, she was a total pleasure to work with. We are a little "camera shy" and she was really great at making us feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. Couldn't be happier with her work!

    Amazing! Not only is her style gorgeous but she was a ton of fun to work with & very stress-free. She was very flexible (we weren't able to do an engagement shoot and she offered to cover my bridal shower instead) and captured every detail!

    Very responsive, professional and laid-back. The turnaround time was impressive and she took a perfect combination of traditional shots we knew we'd want and original ones we never would have thought of if not for her creativity.

    We were thoroughly pleased with Melissa - she is great to work with, flexible and produces great work. We had an engagement photo session with her and while our location was a little out of the way and on a farm, she took it on with a smile and we're very happy with the pictures. She followed up with shooting our garden wedding, with a second photographer, and they were there for many hours and got some great shots. She is a pleasure to work with, a lot of fun, and professional. We would hire her again in a second for any photography session need. You can't go wrong with her quality service.

    Not only is she an amazing photographer, but she is a pleasure to work with. She is personable but professional, and makes sure to get really great shots. It was easy to communicate with her throughout the entire process; from emails to phone calls Melissa was a pleasure to speak with. My husband and I loved working with her and were so happy she shot our engagement and wedding pictures. She also did a great job getting second photographers! We loved them both (one for engagement session and one for the wedding) and used many of their pictures which is a testament to Melissa's work hiring them on to help her. I would highly recommend Melbee Photography for any number of events: engagement, wedding, family session, baby announcement, etc.

    I cannot say enough great things about Melbee Photography! They were so easy to work with and I have heard guests comment that they did not realize that the photographers were even on site...and there were three! They spent the day with my daughter capturing everything from makeup application to the sparklers at the send off. We now have over 2,000 pictures of beautiful memories. Terrific team, wonderful leader, perfect photos and great professionals! I would recommend them with no worries.

    My groom and I loved working with Melissa! She answered all of our questions for the big day and knew exactly what we wanted! She even monitored my wedding board on Pinterest. On the big day, she showed up early with 2 extra photographers. All of our guests continue to rave about Melissa. She was able to capture every moment as if she wasn't even there.

    Melissa was great! I needed a photographer last minute for a small ceremony. I was hoping for the impossible...great pics for a reasonable price. I got both!!

    Melissa did pictures for my high school senior. Not only was she professional in every regard, she knew how to read my daughter and used her awesome sense of humor and personable nature to pull out the best in my otherwise fairly shy daughter. She was prompt, engaging, creative, and extremely energetic! I would highly recommend her for any engagement!

    Melissa is AMAZING, I highly highly recommend her to everyone!! We were doing a destination wedding and I wanted our photographer to be someone we formed a connection with before our wedding day. We fell in love with Melissa, her warm, bubbly personality and her gorgeous art right away! We flew her out to Tahoe, CA for our mountain top wedding, she worked non-stop for two days photographing every little detail and moment! She knows where to be at the right times and she is great at capturing images I want giant canvasas of all around our house (and I do)! She has now photographed not only our wedding, but maternity session and two family sessions of our growing family. Every experience with her has been fun, comfortable, engaging, exciting, and memorable, she captures our family in a way NO ONE else can.NATURAL! She is our life-photographer now!

    Melissa of MelBeePhotography was such a pleasure to work with. She not only got some great shots at my wedding, but she was also very helpful with anything else I needed. She made sure to keep her attention on me and what I wanted as a bride. She was able to capture the most important moments, and I couldn't be more thankful for that. I would highly recommend her for any event you have. She is an absolute pleasure!

    In going through the photos Melissa took for our wedding, we are really pleased and impressed with the way they turned out! In fact, we have had to go to the store several times and get a total of 30-40 picture frames, because there are so many photos that we really like and want to display, and we have given others away to our grown children and other relatives.

    When I first looked through the photos, I thought, "There sure are a lot of us dancing," but then when I went back to pick out the ones I wanted to print and frame, I found that many of my favorites were from that suite of pictures. Melissa really captured the joy and tenderness of that first dance. She also had a great eye for artistic shots when taking candid photos. She did a great job of capturing the mood -- excitement and joy -- in the candid shots at the church and the reception, which has helped to bring those moments to life for us again when we look at the photos.

    I would recommend Melissa very highly to anyone who is looking for a wedding photographer to produce fabulous photos, both artistic and engaging! Her fees were very reasonable, and she made the photos available to us very soon after our honeymoon.

    Melissa was awesome. She helped me plan my timeline and stick to it throughout the day. She worked closely with me before and during our wedding to understand what shots we wanted, how we wanted them, and to make sure she got them. She brought along a second photographer who was also wonderful and together they captured every moment of our wedding. Best of all, she was willing to work with us in order to stick to our budget and for that I am most appreciative.

    Melissa was a very responsive, professional, flexible, and non-invasive photographer. She was by FAR the easiest and most enjoyable vendor to work with during my entire wedding planning process. I loved the creative quality of my photos and also that she kept me on schedule on my wedding day and was on top of working through my list of "must have photos." I have already recommended her to my friends for her quality of service, professionalism, flexible, and beautiful photos!

    My wedding was almost a year ago and I'm still amazed by the amount of love that was shared that day. The ceremony was perfect, and the reception was beautiful but didn't go as planned. But, of all the things that went wrong, MelBee Photography captured only the best moments and she has given me happy memories to gaze upon when I start doubting how special my wedding was. She handled the drama of my family and took all the pictures I was envisioning, even the surprise dove release my husband planned. My grandmother passed away two months after the wedding, making those pictures of my family even more special because my wedding day was the last time I spoke to her or saw her. MelBee photography understood the importance of family, details, and timing. I fall more in love with my husband everyday and having the wedding pictures all over my house gives me something to daydream about while he is at work.
