Yes, Automatically Yes!

Melinda and Darrin are hands down the best! From the planning calls to execution, they were kind, professional, and really understood the vibe of our wedding. Our intimate day was captured beautifully both in photos and video. We left that day with our hearts full and saying that we want to be their friends. When we received our photos and video, we were blown away and definitely made me tear up remembering and seeing for the first time everything that went into our special day! We love them!

Exceeded our expectations

Melinda was so great to work with! Her pricing was totally reasonable, she stuck with us when we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID, and we just had the best time hanging out with her and her second shooter Genevieve all day on our wedding day. Plus she was always responsive, and we are so happy with how the photos turned out! I cannot recommend her enough.

Cannot recommend Melinda enough!

Melinda is a genuine and talented photographer who truly cares about her clients. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and captured our personality in every photo. She was professional but also so much fun to work with. I cannot express how grateful we were that we found her and how much joy she brought in capturing our special day. We love her and can't wait to book her for an anniversary session!

Amazing photos!

Melinda came as a recommendation from a friend and she was truly the best! She was super flexible in planning around an unconventional wedding schedule, super fun and easy to be around, and she delivered amazing photos - it was hard to choose our favorites. Highly recommend!

She’s amazing!

Melinda is absolutely amazing. She’s so kind and funny. It made getting professionally photographed very comfortable. My now husband and I are not pros by any stretch of the imagination lmao, but she made us look like we were. I’m so incredibly thankful for her guidance and patience. Especially with the ups and downs of 2020, I couldn’t have asked for a better human to be the one to photograph our special day. Thank Melinda for everything. I’m so glad I found you and was able to work with you! :)

Like taking photos with your BFF

Melinda is so awesome! From the beginning, she was super easy to work with- friendly and flexible. She was reliable and on time when we had calls or meetings. My husband and I are both pretty awkward and hate getting our pictures taken, but Melinda put us at ease totally. She vibed with us right off the bat and joined in our silliness. And most importantly, she so clearly captured the fun and happiness of our wedding day in the photographs. I cannot recommend Melinda highly enough.

Highly recommended

Melinda is an absolute joy to work with. From the moment I reached out she was responsive and asked the right questions in order to capture my special day exactly as I had hoped! She is down to earth and easy going which allowed us to truly enjoy a stress free day. Throughout the evening she touched based to ensure she was getting everything we had hoped, which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend Melinda for your photography needs!

Love love love melinda!

I can not express enough how much we loved Melinda & her second shooter that day (Gennevive).

Pre-wedding Melinda was an instant delight to communicate with. We had multiple phone calls where she answered every question and offered so much expertise and information I would never have thought of on my own. She was so friendly, warm and full of personality.


The wedding day itself was nothing short of an absolute dream & Melinda's photography played a big part in this. She was on time, constantly on the move taking photos & so so helpful. She stuck around longer than I would have expected her to capture our "golden hour photos "(which in June in Seattle is pretty dang late..). My entire wedding party + family/friends made endless positive comments on Melinda & Gennevive's approach, professionalism & awesome personalities.
They were just the ABSOLUTE freaking best to work with. I would choose her services over & over again.

Not to mention, after the wedding I had a friend go through a traumatic event and Melinda was so quick to reach out and want to support. She really cares - and it's like you're her friend by the end of your day.

Thank you so much Melinda !!!!!!!!! Can't wait to see our final products because I know they will be ridiculously perfect.

Wonderful and funny photographer!

Melinda was an absolute joy to work and we were so pleased with how all the photos turned out! We booked her for both our engagement and wedding photos. She did an amazing job of capturing everything from the little details that we never would have thought we wanted in photos - to the emotion and love that was in the air! She also did a great job of creating a comfortable environment during our engagement session and definitely has a creative eye!
