Best wedding photographer ever!

Melanie was the most amazing photographer we could've dreamed of for our wedding. She was so relaxed and made the day so much fun and the photos turned out INCREDIBLE! My whole family commented on how seamlessly she fit into the group on our wedding day and she even went the extra mile to do a photoshoot of us in a vintage car after the wedding and then come to our after party to get a group shot! Highly recommend!

Incredible experience and photos!

Melanie is everything we could have hoped for in a photographer. Completely professional, yet relaxed, fun and incredibly talented. She made everything so easy for us and our guests. We will 100% hire Melanie again next time we need a photographer. 5 stars aren't enough!

Amazing!

Melanie was INCREDIBLE. By far one of the best decisions we made and she crushed it. She was very timely, gave her own ideas as well as kept in mind the specific types of images I liked, and was so much fun to work with. I would HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend her to anyone!!!

Perfect experience, perfect photos

Melanie was absolutely fantastic! Her clean style of photography was exactly what we were looking for, and she did a phenomenal job at everything -- finding us the best package for our needs, walking us through pre-wedding checklists, wrangling the herd of cats that is our family, and capturing the shots perfectly. Most of all, she and her assistant were just straight-up fun! She is worth every penny, and I recommend her wholeheartedly to any couple who wants a stress-free wedding and great photos to cherish forever.

2021 Best Wedding Photographer

Melanie is a wonderful photographer, who knows how to capture each special moment throughout your big day. She did an excellent job capturing our engagement pictures and 8 hour long wedding day. She’s professional, but also helps make you feel comfortable. She is a wonderful artist who knows how to work magic behind the lens!

Above and beyond, two years in a row!

Melanie is amazing. We were fortunate to have her as our photographer two years in a row! First for our intimate family-only elopement and again for our full guest list vow renewal. And both times, she captured the happiness, love, and magic surrounding our incredible day. She was patient with family and friends, and got all the photos we requested. She has great attention to detail, capturing the best light, facial features, and backgrounds. Above all, she is personable and kind, and we are beyond thankful.

Amazing Photos

Melanie was amazing! She made taking the pictures fun and got us to our party quickly while still getting all the pictures we wanted. When we got our pictures back we were so happy! They were amazing.

Melanie is an amazing photographer

She was my photographer for my pandemic wedding, the photos are so beautiful you almost forget that half my guest are wearing mask and the other half are staying 6 feet apart. She was so sweet and professional the entire time, she made me feel like a family member was taking my picture instead of someone I barely knew. She made everything so special. I cannot recommend her enough
