Beautiful, natural, just-right moments captured with a quiet, fierce grace...

Melissa Ferrara of Iron & Honey has an art and zen that is so refreshing and rare. And if that wasn't enough, her demeanor, professionalism and fun-loving, down-to-earth personality made pre-wedding "meet-ups", engagement pics and the actual event a dream. So where did we find this gem of a human? My husband and I were referred to Melissa by a very good friend who had worked with her in the past. From there we scheduled a coffee-date to chat through ideas and prepare a timeline and quote. My husband and I both love photography... so ensuring we had the right fit for our wedding photographer was something we put a lot of weight on. Having checked out her portfolio prior to our coffee date we knew we loved her style, but our official in-person meet-up put all our anxious feelings to rest.
But then... it got better. We scheduled our engagement photoshoot on a windy day in April... we were going to scrap doing them, but Melissa mentioned it would be a great test run of shots for our wedding and way to get to know each other / get comfortable behind the lens. DO THIS... Out shots are so simple, so brilliant and it was fun to share a warm-up beer with Melissa before the shoot.
And then came the wedding. Melissa managed to eloquently wrangle our 16+ wedding party, taking classic, stoic and hilarious photos all in the same hour. After seeing the full array of shots following our wedding, our expectations were not only matched and surpassed... we were blown away. I've attached a few of my favorite snapshots herein.
My husband and I (and all our guests!) recommend Melissa Ferrara of Iron and Honey with the upmost confidence and highest of praise. So much time and energy goes into planning what amounts to an 8 hour (+/-) event. Make the most of those memories, photos are forever -- hire our girl, Melissa... we are so happy we did.

Throughout the process of booking Iron & Honey, coordinating the engagement pictures and now communicating for the wedding day, I have been super impressed with Melissa. From the start, Melissa went out of her way to answer any and all my questions that helped in the decision making process. Communication was super easy and quick! Our engagement pictures were truly stunning. She truly makes you feel comfortable not only with her, but also behind the camera. She captures the emotions! I am a very organized, detailed individual and Melissa reached out before I could reach out as the wedding date got closer. I was impressed that with all the clients she has, she makes you feel like you are the only client. I can not wait for Melissa to capture our wedding day!
You will not be disappointed if you choose Iron & Honey Photography!
