About Me


Melinda Koen is a local photographer in the beautiful Napa Valley, who has been photographing for over 11 years. She specialized in black/white photojournalism at weddings, but has expanded her art to all aspects of photography. All portraiture is done outdoors, or on location of the cliental. The beauty of the natural light is far too special to keep photography confined to the indoors. She works with each individual client, to achieve priceless custom artwork. Melinda believes in the equal opportunties of each client, and is willing to provide services to anyone and everyone who is interested in being photographed.

Melinda went above and beyond for our wedding. We had a rocky start because we were running late and she worked with our schedule. Not only did Melinda take photos but she was helpful with making sure we were out the door for our wedding on time. She helped tie my dress and caputured all the special moments at the same time. Melinda has an eye for photography and knows what she's doing. We were very pleased that she was able to capture our special day. We will treasure her photos forever. I recommend Melinda as a photographer she is very talented and personalable.

Melinda did an amazing job as our photographer at our wedding. I would recommend her services without hesitation. She went above and beyond my expectations by not only listening to what I wanted, but also making suggestions. She was very flexible, going to about 5 different sites for all of the pictures. Before the wedding, we discussed all of the posed and candid shots I wanted captured. She made a very detailed and thorough list of our families and guests and was able to capture every important moment without being obtrusive or obvious. The day we returned from our honeymoon, she had our CD's of all of our pictures, ready and waiting. I was extremely pleased with all of the shots. She was very professional and attentive!

I really loved having Melinda for our photographer. She took wonderful pictures and was very helpful and provided great suggestions. One of the best benefits of having her for our photographer is that she does not require that all print purchases go through her. The package we purchased included 5 hours of her time and she gave us CDs will all of our pictures. We got the CDs about a week after the wedding. She does not retain the copyright so we were able to post the photos to an online photo sharing service so all of our friends and relatives can see them and download or order from there if they wish.

The one minor issue I had was that I felt she was a little underdressed for the occasion. However, she and I never discussed this so if your expectations are made clear ahead of time I know this won't be a problem.
