Melissa Diane Photography, LLC is a professional wedding photographer based in Crozet, Virginia . After discovering her passion for photography in her highschool darkroom, Melissa decided to pursue a career in the industry. She graduated with a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Photography from VCU and founded her business in 2012. She continues to serve couples in Central Virginia but is also available to travel world wide.
Melissa aims to relieve wedding planning stress by working with her couples to provide an exceptional experience that is tailored to each individual client's needs. She strives to capture images that show the unique personality of each of her couples on their wedding day that will be cherished for a lifetime. Her wedding photography package is fully customizable with items from her à la carte list, such as additional hours, albums, and prints. All of her wedding photography collections include an online viewing gallery to easily share all of your wedding and engagement photos with friends and family, downloadable high-resolution files with printing rights, and a complementary engagement session. Melissa Diane Photography can also accommodate elopements, with special packages available upon request.
Melissa went above and beyond our expectations as our wedding photographer. Right after we met with Melissa, COVID shut down our area and forced us to change a lot about our wedding, but Melissa worked to make sure that we not only got beautiful photos for our engagement and wedding but also made us feel safe in the middle of a pandemic. She helped us plan our day-of timeline and worked so well with our large family and helping round up everyone for photos. Her second shooter, Chuck, was also able to video our ceremony since we had to cut our original videographer to limit the amount of people at the venue. We will definitely continue to use Melissa for future family photographs and would recommend her to anyone!

Amanda,
Thank you so much for having me capture your wedding day. It was truly a beautiful day from the flowers to your dress to the cute doggies that attended! You and Colin were a dream to work with and I can’t wait to photograph your reception later this year.
Best,
Melissa

Melissa is Awesome!
I'm so glad we hired Melissa to photograph our wedding, it was absolutely perfect. My fiancé was really nervous before our engagement shoot, but Melissa made him feel comfortable to the point that he was probably more into it than I was! She was so helpful and communicative during the planning process. On the day-of, she and her partner Chuck were punctual, professional, and tons of fun. We got a "sneak peek" of our photos a few days later and they turned out AMAZING - I generally don't like pictures of myself, but they are beautiful and we look like models. Melissa Diane Photography really made our wedding day perfect, I'm so glad we hired them!

Thank you for your kind words Anne! It was such an honor being a part of this special time in your lives. I had such a great time photographing you and Adam on your wedding day. Everything was so beautiful from the fall leaves, to the historic house, to your delicious chocolate wedding cake! Congratulations to you both!

Wonderful!
I have no regrets having Melissa take our wedding photos. She was so helpful in the planning process and was organized, professional, and friendly the entire time. We got the pictures back within three weeks and we loved her work. Definitely recommend!
