1000% Recommend Melanie Jo Photography!

I would 1000% recommend Melanie Jo Photography to anyone and everyone, including my close friends and family. Melanie did our engagement photos and wedding photos. We had so much fun working with her and her assistant(s). By the end of the wedding Melanie felt more like a friend that we’ve known and laughed with for years, than a photographer that we’d only recently met. Melanie had great ideas and also was able to go with the flow when I wanted to try ideas of my own. She also was insanely patient with our large wedding party, two toddlers who were the flower girl and ring bearer, and our large family. We had a barn wedding on a beautiful sunny day and wow the pictures come out amazing. It was such a fairytale and I’m so grateful that I have Melanie’s photographs to remember the day by. I can’t wait to work with Melanie in the future!

Wedding — Abundant Life — Syracuse NY

Affordable, exceptional, and, loving. Melanie is the photographer you will want and the photographer you deserve on your special day. Discreet, professional, and brilliantly skilled in the shots and moments she was able to capture within the flexible timeframe we had her (and her partner!). Sydney and I can’t thank you both enough, Melanie, for being a part of our day. It was a privilege and pleasure to be your first wedding of the 2024 season! We will be recommending you to our family & friends for all types of photography needs moving forward. Thank you, again!! And here’s to a much successful season of shoots!

Intimate backyard wedding captured beautifully!

For our intimate backyard wedding Melanie and her second shooter took so many great photos without intruding on our day. She arrived early and stayed a little longer to make sure she got the shots she and I wanted, and she produced beautiful work. I’m so grateful we picked Melanie. We also live 6+ hours away but Melanie set up calls and met with us when we were in town so we felt comfortable.

Great Experience

Melanie was an awesome photographer! She really was flexible, making sure we got all the pictures we wanted (and with a family as large as mine that takes a lot of time). I loved the candid pictures she took of the wedding party as we were getting ready, the detail pictures of my accessories, and especially the ones of the ceremony itself. I cannot recommend her enough!!

Incredible experience!

From our engagement photos to the wedding day, Melanie made the process stress free and fun! She listened to what we wanted and were hoping to capture from our day, which allowed us to just enjoy our wedding and not worry about missing any special moments. I could not have asked for a better photographer!

Couldn’t be happier

Our service was nothing short of spectacular, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The photos came out amazing! Melanie was super flexible and accommodating the entire way through and not once did we have an issue with them at our side. Would recommend them 100 times over.

Wonderful experience

Great photographer, especially as the groom and groomsmen were not the most cooperative participants.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
