About

Melissa True Wedding Photography - Telling Love Stories….Your Love Story.

I love pictures. I always have I love the power of images to give a story to life and bring people together.

My work has been described as whimsical, emotional and artistic. Stylish and classic.

My approach is photojournalistic and candid and my goal is to stay as unobtrusive as possible to capture moments as they happen naturally. During portraits I work in a more editorial portrait style. I will direct your attention away from focusing on the camera and help you interact naturally to capture real moments that tell your unique story.

I draw on a technical knowledge of the craft and a background in editorial and photojournalism to tell your story in images. I hire associate photographers that are photographers in their own right and share a similar vision.

I want your photography to be as unique and meaningful as you do. When you look back at your photos or share them with others I don't want you to just remember the moment, I want you to FEEL it.

You have put a great amount of effort into a special day that will mark a new beginning and want to share that with friends and family. You want to express all that you feel for each other and those that are meaningful in your life. Every detail is important. Your story is one of a kind and you want your images to be as well.

I would love to meet you.

Wow, what can I say but if you are lucky enough to book Melissa you will be sure you wont be disappointed. I haven't yet seen the last of our pictures from the wedding but we already received our amazing engagement pictures and she was able to capture the essence of "us" during that shoot. My fiance and I were both a little uncomfortable in front of the camera but she made us feel at ease and was able to get so many beautiful shots of us.

At our wedding she worked for hours helping us get some amazing shots. She literally worked the entire wedding and I can wait until we see the final results! She is proactive and works with your schedule to ensure you understand the need for time and patience in getting the right shots. If you book with Melissa, you simply can't go wrong. She has an amazing eye with a romantic flair ensuring all candids end up looking cool and publishable!

Don't even question it. She brings a lot of calm to a hectic day!

Melissa was amazing to work with - she was very professional before, during and after our wedding. She presnted ideas we never thought of.
Our photos are amazing and when our friends see them they always say they wish they would have known about Melissa for their wedding.

I met with at least a dozen photographers before a friend recommended Melissa. She totally understood what we were looking for and made me feel at ease since I am not comfortable having my picture taken. Needless to say the pictures were gorgeous and the best anyone has ever taken of me.

I have already referred Melissa to four of my girlfriends who have all booked her for their upcoming weddings. If you are looking for wedding photo's that are exceptional look no further.

Melissa did such an amazing job on the photography for the anniversary party my brothers and I threw for my parents. She really captured the moment and it was amazing to have pictures of their 35th anniversary party.

The photos were amazing, lots of candid shots that captured the moments, from my uncle (the deacon) giving them a special blessing to the grandkids handing them roses - such a memorable party, a cherished event.

Melissa photographed our wedding a little over a month ago and our pictures are amazing!! She was great to work with from our first email contact until the night of our wedding! I don't think she took a break the night of our wedding. She photographed everything and we are so appreciative!!! I highly recommend Melissa!!

Melissa photographed our wedding and the pictures are gorgeous! We are so happy with the variety of pictures and how she captured all the major moments of the day. She gave us enough direction so that the pictures looked pretty, but we did not look posed. Melissa is very responsive too, which any bride can appreciate! She was a pleasure to work with.

We were so happy with Melissa’s coverage of my daughter’s wedding. She managed to get all of the required photos of family and friends, organizing them graciously and efficiently while getting the job done. She arrived early and somehow got around to the various sites at the venue for photos. She checked in with me and with the bride frequently to stay on schedule and ask if there were shots we wanted. This helped us remain confident so that we could put her out of our minds and enjoy the event. She handled the bride and groom wonderfully and they remained relaxed so they could have a wonderful time. She stayed pleasant and professional, as well as unobtrusive, throughout the ceremony and reception. We’d recommend her to anyone!

You were wonderful at the wedding…….thank you for being so gracious with everyone, yet getting the job done.

My husband and I liked Melissa the moment we met her. It was evident that she cared about her clients and wanted to provide an enjoyable, worry-free experience on their special day. Melissa truly captured the countless emotions that filled our wedding day. From the bridal party "getting ready" photos to the family photo shoot and of course, the pictures of my husband and I after we sealed our vows, we have a beautiful story of our day that is timeless and precious.

Thank you Melissa for helping our memories live on!
