If you're perusing the Melissa B. Photography reviews, and need that extra nudge, let us offer our experiences: Melissa is a top notch professional and super awesome to work with. Melissa and her assistants were easy going and were super flexible and were always open to any ideas. Her collaboration and communication skills made us feel that much more comfortable for our wedding timeline.

Melissa is the best! I met her when she photographed my best friend's wedding and knew I'd hire her for my San Diego wedding. She's very laid backed and easy to work with which I appreciate. She is always professional and timely in her communication as well. I love the extra special touches she puts on things like her welcome mail and flash drive with all your photos at the end. She takes great pictures and makes you feel very comfortable in front of the camera for hours. I highly recommend Melissa!

Melissa and her team were absolutely phenomenal! Even after having a great e-sesh, I never envisioned having such wonderful wedding photos =] Melissa was affordable, personable and has an eye for capturing amazing moments. I couldn't be happier with the service I received and would absolutely recommend her to future brides.

From the moment I met Melissa, I knew I had made the best decision to hire her as our wedding photographer. We sat in her living room and talked for almost 3 hours about anything and everything and it made our wedding day so much more comfortable knowing she was not only my photographer, but a new friend. From the time I first contacted her until even after our wedding, Melissa's responsiveness was amazing! The online reminders about payments and the checking-in phone calls/ emails were incredibly helpful, as I was also planning from out of state. I was so glad she shared my same vision and our wedding photos came out absolutely perfect! I have received several positive comments about them from friends and family. On our wedding day I knew she had caught a cold, but she worked just as hard through it all and even stayed longer than she needed to so she could catch every last detail! I have several friends who have just gotten engaged and will definitely be referring them to Melissa. Thank you so much!! :)

Melissa is wonderful all-around. She is very personable, thoughtful, easy to work with, accommodating and extremely talented. We couldn't have asked for anyone better. Her team was great to work with as well. They were like ninjas at the wedding, I didn't even realize they were there. Thanks Melissa for everything! The engagement session was wonderful as well! You are truly talented and amazing. Thanks again!

Melissa Biador Photography is simply awesome. Melissa is such a sweetheart who's professional, skilled at what she does, quick to respond and very understanding and patient with her brides. We almost had to postpone our wedding due to my groom's unexpected military orders at the time but Melissa was extremely patient and flexible. She made me, the anxious bride, feel very comfortable throughout the whole planning process and answered all my questions in professional and kind manners. And my husband and I love our wedding photos! She is great. Very thankful I found her. :)

I would recommend Melissa as a photographer for weddings and other events to anyone I know. I felt that my original photographer was doing what she did because it was her job but with Melissa, she seemed to really enjoy what she was doing. Though she's the professional, she respected our input and tailored her services to our needs and style. Thank you Melissa :) Brian and Ericka

We loved working with Melissa.
She did our engagement party - fabulous pics, captured adorable candid moments and details. She did our engagement photos - again, amazing pics. Fun time. And she just did our wedding with her fabulous assistant Jeff.
She is so easy to work with, very responsive, and we had sample images within days of the wedding. Its only been 12 days and we already have the whole edited set of images available for us to review online - so fast!
She is a total ninja too - catching moments you never even realized were happening.
Just loved her.
Plus - probably the best deal for a photographer in town. Her images are top notch, and yet her fees were AT LEAST 25% cheaper than anyone else we spoke to. I'm sure that will change as more and more people realize how fantastic she is. :)

Melissa and her second shooter Stacy shot our October wedding in Escondido, it was Beautiful. The views where breathtaking and all the guests looked amazing I am so happy I chose Melissa and Stacy to be our photographers for our special day, they truly captured the beauty of the venue and all the love in the air.
The photos speak for themselves (find them on her blog)

Even after only one wedding, you can just tell when a pro is a pro. How they work, the way they interact with their couple and vendors and their product. Melissa is right there in the mix of photographer's I would have no problem recommending to my couples. I love working with fun and happy people as this helps create a stress free environment in what is normally a very stressful one.
