Mel is an absolute natural!!!

Mel is a dream to work with! My daughter had all her photos done ahead of schedule and was able to enjoy cocktail hour with her guests as well as her reception. Mel makes sure the day flows exactly how the bride wants it to flow! You want Mel Kay Photography as your photographer!!! We had a second photographer who was just as good & fun!

Mel is the best!!

Mel was an absolute dream to work with!! We extensively searched for a photographer, as it was one of the most important aspects of our wedding to us. We talked to countless wonderful photographers prior to Mel, but when we got on our initial call with her, we fell in love with her bubbly personality and excitement and instantly knew we loved her and had to use her for our special day. We got off the call and said to each other “She’s the one!”. She was so fun during our engagement photoshoot and the photos turned out wonderfully! She really captured who we were and encouraged us to bring props/wear outfits that were an accurate representation of “us”. She takes a ton of photos, which we also really appreciated. You can tell she truly loves what she does. Her friendly and fun personality really made a huge difference on our wedding day. She (and her second shooter) were so calm and sweet during the whole day. They did a wonderful job at interacting with all of the guests/families and having everyone be where they want/do what they want when they want, without ever being pushy, mean or bossy. Mel coordinated everyone with such a funny, loving demeanor. She made everyone feel so comfortable and made photos in the freezing cold fun! (January winter wedding) When I, as the bride, knew we were running behind schedule, she reassured me that everything was totally fine and she calmly took control of the situation by just switching the schedule around a bit and telling me that everything was perfect. She handled everything like a true professional! She has an incredibly eye and vision for photography and she captured our day perfectly! She is so personable and genuine and our family and friends even commented to us how amazing she was and how much they liked her. She spent a lot of time in the bridal suite in the beginning of the day, and I’m not one to really enjoy “strangers” company on one of the most special days of my life, but I seriously loved having her in there with us! She had us laughing constantly and she photographed us doing a bridal party dance party, which was so much fun. She kept me calm and happy prior to the ceremony and during the reception she always was at the right place at the right time, so we feel like she really captured every aspect of our day. Mel listened well to my many photography requests and did a wonderful job at working through sticky family dynamics. She was also so accommodating to my many changes I made along the way. Mel was truly a highlight of our wedding and my husband and I are still talking about her saying to each other “Mel was seriously the best!”. We are just so grateful!!

The Sweetest, most caring photographer

There is not enough words to express how much we loved having Mel as our photographer for our wedding. Mel was so quick to any questions I had for her. She made sure everything I wanted on my wedding day happened, even changing some flowers that weren't exactly how I planned.
She is so attentive to her work and only gives you the best of the best. My husband and I have always been nervous about our wedding photos because we are not the best at taking pictures. Mel gave us the most beautiful photos we could have imagined. She made us feel so comfortable with her as if we had been friends forever. She also captured the most special moments at our reception that showed how much fun our guests had at our wedding. I highly recommend Mel for all your photography needs! We plan to continue to use her for future family pictures!
