Produced amazing work & is an absolute gem

Erica Melissa photographed 3 of my events (my engagement party, engagement shoot, and wedding henna party) and every single picture she produced was stunning. Erica has such a genuine and kind heart - I could tell from the first photography session that she cared about us as clients and wanted us to be as comfortable in front of the camera as possible. She is truly such an amazing person and I am so excited to work with her again in the future.
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING ERICA MELISSA

Amazing!

I hired Erica Melissa to photograph my engagement session. She did SUCH AN AMAZING JOB that I just had to hire her for my wedding. Her attention to detail is like no other. There is a way about her that makes you feel like family all while being so professional! She made my wedding extremely special and I am so thankful. Thank you, Erica!

Erica is amazing!

Erica was absolutely amazing !! We could not be happier with our decision to work with her. Not only was she amazing leading up to our wedding, she made the whole day seamless and easy, and most importantly, all of the photos turned out beautifully. Erica's assistant/ second photographer was also really lovely. We had some challenges throughout the day with logistics and weather and she went above and beyond. She was more like a support system and confidante rather than just our photographer. My husband and I are not overly comfortable in front of the camera and had a large wedding party of people that are hard to coordinate. Erica handled everything seamlessly with natural grace and touch. We forgot we were being photographed most of the time! My favorite part was when she was taking photos of the bridesmaids, she prompted us with conversation starters about memories and moments that we shared together. It turned into a fun conversation for all of us and she snapped genuine laughs, tears, and memories.

I highly recommend Erica for your wedding day!

Can't imagine my wedding day without Erica!

There aren't enough words to describe how amazing Erica is! Not only is she amazing with a camera, but she is incredibly sweet, creative, and really makes you feel comfortable being yourself during a photo shoot. It rained during my engagement shoot and my wedding. Erica used her magic during both occasions to produce some amazing photos of my husband and I while somehow also making it incredibly fun. Although my wedding wasn't at all what my husband and I planned due to COVID-19 (and the rain), Erica was able to really show the beauty and intimacy of the day through her photos. Now looking at the pictures, we wouldn't have had the day go any other way. Thank you Erica!!

My perfect day

Erica es una bendicion para nuestras vidas. Ella es una excelente professional, no solo ama su profecion sino es estremadamente buena en lo q hace. Su carisma, su dulsura y conocimiento hace q todo tus nervios desaparescan y cuando ves los resultados de su trabajo te das cuenta q esta lleno de amor y con cada foto logras recrear todo los momentos y todos los detalles q van con ellos. Ella logra captar la magia de la vida en solo una foto. No tengo palabra q describa el significado de profesionalismo, pasion, dedicacion, calidad y amor, eso es Erica mi angelito de la guarda. Gracias por todos esos recuerdos llenos de magia q llevo conmigo y por todos los q faltan por construir.

Great to work with!

Erica is lovely to work with! Unfortunately due to COVID impact on weddings and also personal life, she was very understanding and accommodating to our ever changing situation. While I may not have had a wedding for her to take pictures - the experience of working with a kind photographer was worth the time. She spent a lot of time with me on the phone explaining her suggestions for wedding day timeline for photos, best ceremony ideas for pictures at my venue, as well as chatting about life in general. I highly recommend you book Erica!

Highly recommended!

What a wonderful experience working with Erica from Erica Melissa Photography! She came as a recommendation from my wedding planner. From the moment I met with her, I knew I wanted her to capture my special day. She's extremely professional, punctual, detailed (especially detailed), and incredibly kind. She has a way of making you feel comfortable even in the most awkward situation. I would like to note that your wedding will be a glamorous day but it will also be a "eventful" one. Having someone with calm energy such as Erica, makes it all that much easier and natural, and believe me, it reflects in the photos. I also have to make note that Erica was very patient and understanding throughout and after the wedding. She continued to provide excellent customer service and assisted me with all my very, I'm sure, annoying requests. I am a stickler for perfection and she met my every expectation. I highly recommend her. Thank you, Erica for always helping me and allowing me to create my perfect wedding album.

Phenomenal

Erica Melissa was my sister’s wedding photographer and did an AMAZING job, so it was a no brainer that when I got married, she would be mine. Having Erica Melissa as your wedding photographer is like having a great friend/confidant capturing your day. She is thoughtful, warm, punctual, flexible, professional and knows exactly what she is doing. She was able to capture so many special moments and was able to identify unique places within the venue to give us our distinct backdrop. So many friends have commented that my photos look like a wedding magazine photo shoot. She and her team (equally phenomenal) take the time to get to know you and all that is important to the couple prior to the wedding which allows her to handle the wedding day so smoothly. Having someone so familiar with wedding photography is also helpful because you have an added benefit in having Erica as a resource for recommendations (Erica recommended the videographer we used) and the day of, you have an expert helping you keep the day on track. Choosing Erica was a great wedding decision, I hope you make the same one.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
