Melissa is awesome! Very fun personality and a true professional
Melissa came highly recommended from a friend, and after a quick chat with her, her fun personality and professionalism came through very clearly. She was extremely easy going and flexible when it came to time and location, even when it was last minute decisions being made. Her photography style and fun demeanor made our surprise engagement photo shoot a breeze - she was key in both staying hidden and capturing the perfect moment for us. She is a true professional and was a joy to work with

We're so happy we chose Iron + Honey!
From the first time we spoke, we knew Melissa was the calm, confident presence we needed for our wedding. She had a great portfolio, which included smaller weddings like ours, so I was sure she would capture our day perfectly. She handled everything like a pro, making everyone feel at ease and keeping things organized so she could get the shots we wanted. When we received our photos (way faster than anticipated!), they were just perfect and captured our favorite memories of the day and more. We would absolutely recommend working with Melissa to anyone – thanks for everything, Melissa!

Photos you can feel & a stress-free wedding day ❤
Melissa was so amazing on our wedding day and on every day leading up to it - from our first phone call to our engagement shoot and up until the big day, we knew that Melissa would be the perfect match for what we were looking for. Melissa was communicative from the very beginning and eager to walk the neighborhood with us and visit our apartment for our engagement shoot - even hanging half of her body out a bedroom window for some perfect balcony shots! Melissa's organic/in-the-moment/documentary-style of shooting truly captured all of the meaningful and emotional aspects of our wedding day, just like we had hoped. She was hands-on and hands-off at all of the right moments, eliminating a lot of the stress and pressure that photo-taking can sometimes bring and instead allowing myself, my husband, and all of our wedding party to feel relaxed and truly "in the moment" throughout the whole day. It was exactly how we wanted to remember our wedding day and our photos were plentiful and turned out absolutely amazing. You can really *feel* the photos and put yourself back in that moment in time, which is something that we appreciate so deeply. Thank you Melissa for sharing your talents and for being a special part of our wedding day - we'll never forget it!
