Is there an option for more than five stars?! My husband and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Melissa and her assistant Floyd and are so happy with them as our choice of wedding photographers. Starting with the planning process, Melissa was very responsive and helpful in answering any questions I had. She went above and beyond when our venue fell through two months before our wedding and was so kind as to provide me a list of alternative venues as possible options for us. She was so thoughtful, and many times reached out seeing if we had found a new location. That’s the thing about Melissa and Floyd; you can tell right away that they are good, kind people that you would want to be your friends. My husband and I didn’t realize that we would spend more time with Melissa and Floyd than we did our own friends and family on our wedding day, and honestly you could not ask for two better people to shadow you for the day. Both Melissa and Floyd made us feel so comfortable helped direct us in a way that felt natural and carefree. We trusted them with their vision, and I know our photos are going to be better because of it. One look at Melissa’s portfolio and you can see her eye for capturing beauty and making it seem as if it came from a high fashion magazine. So many portfolios I looked at had photos that I dub “background photos when you buy a picture frame”. I wanted our photos to have life and not just take a picture but capture and create a moment. When I found Melissa, I could see the warmth in her photos; it almost felt like the photos were transcending the camera and freezing the moment in time. I cannot wait to see the moments that Melissa and Floyd captured of our special day, and I would encourage and recommend Melissa to anyone for their photography needs. I know our photos are going to be extraordinary thanks to Melissa’s eye!

Melissa was incredible to work with; my husband and I highly recommend her! After sending an initial email inquiry, Melissa and I connected on a phone call, and I appreciated how clear her process was and how well she communicated each step in working together. Melissa addressed all my questions and was helpful in sorting through which elements to include or avoid when putting our wedding details together. All of her communications, timelines, and processes were super clear & communicated in advance. With all the wedding chaos, I was so grateful to be in Melissa's incredibly professional hands! 

On our wedding day Melissa and her assistant, Pavel, were a joy to be with! We spent most of the day with them and Melissa provided really helpful direction & was organized, ensuring we got all the shots we wanted & clearly communicated with our guests to make the photography process smooth & simple. We loved working with them on the day of the wedding, and when our photos were ready for us a few weeks later, we were even more sure we'd picked the perfect photographer for us!

The images that she shared with us were incredibly thorough- not a single special moment was missed! Even more than this, the images were GORGEOUS!! I love Melissa's aesthetic style, and you can see her keen eye in the thoughtful composition of our images. She has a great sense of light that makes the images feel both magical and still very natural and true to life. Her artistic direction made the resulting photos something my husband, myself, and our families will cherish for many years to come. 

Bella and I really enjoyed shooting with Melissa for our engagement session. I'm not terribly comfortable in front of the camera, but Melissa made it easy. She was even willing to climb onto the roof of a building to make some of our favorite shots. We're really happy with how our photos turned out, and would highly recommend you give her a look for your own session!
