Amazing experience

Melanie was absolutely amazing to work with as our wedding photographer. Her prices are very reasonable and our photos came out perfect! She took photos of myself and my bridesmaids getting ready, as well as photos of the groomsmen getting ready at a different location all before getting to the actual venue to take photos of the wedding. She has an incredible talent for always being right there to capture the perfect shot without ever being intrusive, you literally forget she's even there. The best part was how quick we had our photos. Getting ready photos were actually on display at our wedding (which guests loved) and we had preview photos within 24 hours, and our whole wedding album in 5 days. I cannot recommend Always in Focus Photography enough!

So easy to work with! Love our pictures!!

We cannot say enough gray things about Melanie!! She was absolutely wonderful to work with. So helpful and so nice! Always answered my questions very quickly. She stayed out of the way but still managed to get some amazing shots! We did both our engagement photos and wedding photos with her and both times we got a preview of the pictures that night / next day! We got all 1300 of our wedding photos back in 5 days! We highly recommend Melanie!
