My fiance and I couldn't have been more happy to work with Melissa! It was so much fun to work with her and we absolutely can't wait to have her shoot our wedding!

Melissa did our engagement photos, my boudoir photos as well as our wedding photos. She has become a dear friend and has an amazing way with a big group. I have told countless people that what makes Melissa amazing is that not only does she take great pictures, but she also knows how to keep a crowd going, even when its 100 degrees out and everyone is in tuxes and full length gowns. She made me feel so comfortable along the way and always understood the vision I wanted to go with. I can't wait to work with her for years to come for all my photo needs!

I could not give a higher recommendation for Melissa Alderton! Here's why you should consider her to shoot your wedding:

-Very reasonable prices with fantastic quality.
-Incredible personality and a true joy to be around (important since you'll spend all day with your photographer!).
-Extremely professional and experienced but also brings a calming presence on a day that can feel hectic.
-Efficient and organized in getting our family and group photos; our family was thrilled to be done so quick!
-Had a sneak peek the night of the wedding, an extensive online preview a few weeks later, and our edited images about two months after the wedding. We loved being able to have our pictures so quickly.
-Melissa's package gives you rights to your photos (this was a must for me in selecting a photographer) so you can print high quality images on your own through Mpix.
-Our photos turned out fabulous; we have many different shot angles and lighting, a good mix of vertical and horizontal orientations, and a nice blend of formal and candid pictures.
-The comfort level we had with Melissa (and the fun we had with her) is totally reflected in our pictures! She was able to capture our natural smiles and personalities, even with my husband who doesn't love having his picture taken.

We feel so lucky to have found Melissa to be a part of our special day! Although we live out of state, we will continue to use her for all of our photography needs. Good luck to all of you planning your special day!

We first saw Melissa's work when we saw photos from a friends's wedding. Our friend said not only are her photos great, but her personality and creativity made their day even more special. We couldn't agree more. We had Melissa do both our engagement pictures and our wedding photos and couldn't be happier. She is easy to get a hold of and stay in contact with as well as very accommodating when it comes to meeting at different places. She was the best and definitely recommend.

My husband and I were beyond elated with all of Melissa's services. This was our first time having professional photography done since we had senior pictures, so we were both going to be nervous in front of the camera. Melissa took our breath away within minutes of meeting her, and our engagement shoot was proof that she was the perfect fit for us! She traveled to Milwaukee for our engagement shoot and the wedding, even though she is based in Appleton. The photos were edited and given to us within two months of the wedding, and the shots were all gorgeous! Her assistant Emilie came with the day of the wedding, and we could not be happier with the two of them and how they worked together to capture everything! Highly recommend, a stellar job done!!!

I couldn't have imagined anyone else capturing our special day other than Melissa. She is the absolute best at what she does. She loves her job and it shows. She makes you feel comfortable, gives good direction, and has great talent and creative ideas. She is a pleasure to work with and puts you at ease as a bride. Her photos speak for themselves; they are beautiful and so very special. We couldn't be happier with how our engagement and wedding pictures turned out and we love looking through them often and reliving every detail that she so perfectly captured. She also works fast to deliver your photos quickly! She is all about quality work and she does an absolutely amazing job and is a great investment!

Melissa was absolutely amazing! Very professional and extremely friendly. We utilized her for both our engagement photos and our wedding photos. She really is a great price for such amazing quality. I highly recommend!

Melissa was wonderful. She has a very easy-going, laid back personality which is exactly what we wanted in a photographer. She was easy to work with and had a lot of good ideas. She listened to what we wanted and worked off of our "shot" list to make sure we got all of the pictures we wanted. She uploaded a "sneak-peak" of our pictures to her facebook page the day after our wedding. The 26 she uploaded were STUNNING! We loved all of them and can't wait to see the rest!

Melissa was amazing to work with!! She was willing to come to Wisc. Rapids for both our engagement photos and the wedding, and she was so fun to work with. She made our day so fun and memorable, and our pictures are absolutely beautiful. She captured the true love and joy that was our wedding day, and I am so thankful we chose her! I would recommend her to everyone because she is amazing to work with, does a great job, and has a photo option that will work for anyone. She is so flexible and easy to work with, and made our day! I am so thankful a friend recommended her to us!

Melissa Alderton (Greenwood) did our engagement photography session, and the photos turned out absolutely fabulous! She was very accommodating with our request to have our pictures taken at St. Norbert college, and she was very knowledgeable of how she wanted us to look in our pictures. One of my favorite parts of our pictures, and the photography shoot, is that our pictures turned out like "us". Nothing seemed forced or staged; Melissa was truly able to capture the true essence of us as a couple. I highly recommend anyone who is looking for a high quality photographer for a reasonable price to choose Melissa Alderton. She will capture all of your special moments, as we truly love our engagement pictures and cannot wait for our wedding!
