Melissa is truly an amazing photographer!! Not only incredibly talented, but also an all-around wonderful person. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond for you, she is the one!

When we first got engaged, we spent quite a bit of time researching photographers for our engagement and wedding. After looking at several options, nothing compared to Melissa’s work. She has such a unique ability to tell your love story from the moment you get engaged to your wedding day. We were specifically looking for a light and airy style, and Melissa was absolutely perfect for this. Her photos are glowy, refreshing, and so easy on the eyes.

The first time we met Melissa over Zoom, we instantly felt comfortable. She was professional, yet warm and easy to connect with. Right away, we knew she was the one we wanted to trust with capturing our memories.
We knew we wanted our engagement photos in the Sonoran Desert since our wedding theme was “AZ Boho Desert Vibes.” Melissa made that dream come true! We took a beautiful hike in the Tucson mountains at sunset, and the entire experience was incredible. The photos turned out even better than we imagined.

On our wedding day, Melissa truly exceeded every expectation. From the morning preparations to our first dance, she captured every little detail perfectly. She even arrived early on her own time to photograph my bouquet, dress, rings, and other special details. That level of dedication meant so much to us.

We also wanted to include our dog in both our engagement and wedding photos, and Melissa handled that seamlessly. Those photos are something we will treasure forever.

Less than two weeks after our wedding, Melissa had already sent us sneak peeks, and they were absolutely stunning. We cannot wait to see the full gallery!

Overall, if you are looking for someone who is organized, thoughtful, and truly passionate about what they do, Melissa is the photographer for you. She not only makes you look amazing, but she captures all those little moments you don’t even realize are happening. Those are the memories that matter most.

I promise you won’t regret hiring her! Thank you, Melissa, for bringing our wedding photo dreams to life, we are so grateful!

She is worth what she charges! Although her quotes were higher than most, her quality is superior, timeliness of getting your album back is excellent, and her professionalism and personality is unmatched. she was an absolute joy to work with, knew how to style everything, was efficient, and our photos are beautiful! never compromise on your photographer!!!

We are so happy we chose Melissa to photograph our intimate wedding ceremony. It felt like we had hired a long time friend. Not only does she bring great energy, but she has an eye for detail and stunning creative posing. We appreciated her friendly, easy-going attitude and suggestions. She was very organized on our wedding day thanks to her questionnaire and excellent communication. This made our day so much more enjoyable knowing Melissa was reliable and ensuring all of our requests for specific moments to capture and family photos were met. We really enjoyed working with Melissa and will forever treasure our wedding day memories captured through her beautiful photographs. Thank you for being such a special part of our day!

I absolutely loved working with Melissa! She made me and my husband feel comfortable and happy throughout our photo sessions. And the gallery we received after wards was breath taking!! Melissa captured the magic of our wedding so perfectly in our photos! I am forever grateful for the gorgeous pictures we have now!

Melissa took our engagement photos in March 2019 (we just finally got married and are catching up one reviews haha) and she was phenomenal! We wanted to take our engagement photos on Mt. Lemmon because it’s is a meaningful place to us. It turned out that the month of our photos was unusually cold and wet - but Melissa met us up the mountain anyways. We were thrilled!

We had selected two locations on Mt. Lemmon for photos, but unfortunately due to the cold, our first location was not as bloomed and pretty as we had hoped - but you would never know from the photos she captured! She was so great at spying the perfect spots for beautiful photos. Our second location was on the main lookout and those photos literally look like magic! We couldn’t have loved our photos any more.

Melissa was so fun to spend time with and is so incredibly talented. We highly recommend her!

We loved having Melissa as our engagement photographer! We have never had professional photos taken before and were a little nervous but Melissa made us feel so comfortable! She guided us through the whole shoot and was so patient with us. We were worried we would look awkward but the poses she had us do were easy, fun, and made us feel more comfortable in front of the camera! She even helped plan outfits and her style guide was SO helpful! So excited to use these photos for our save the dates!

Melissa is the most amazing photographer I could have ever imagined for my engagement, wedding and maternity photo shoots. My main concern when choosing a photographer for my wedding was the fact that I did not want my day to be over run by pictures and I wanted to be able to enjoy my day without a majority of it being consumed by pictures. After speaking with Melissa initially she assured me the experience would be whatever I wanted it to be. She was able to capture all moments of our wedding day organically while providing guidance with cues and prompts when we needed help with how to pose or make the pictures look best. Melissa exceeded all expectations in all of the shoots I have done with her. Especially, on my wedding day, I had no idea how vital of a role the photographer played. She was with my husband and I all day. Her cheerful attitude and promptness in everything lightened my load as I knew she was capturing everything I wanted and I could relax. The best part was having the assurance that what I did not experience or did not have enough time to absorb on that day, Melissa captured and I was able to experience (or relive) it while looking through our wedding gallery. The photos of my wedding day keep the memory vibrant. Our engagement photo shoot helps me remember how simple our love is and how exciting marriage is. Our maternity photos help me see how much of a miracle pregnancy is no matter how uncomfortable it may have been. Melissa is a dream photographer. She’s captured the most important milestones in me and my husbands life. Not only are these photos beautiful, they’re sacred heirlooms and I am so grateful we had Melissa to ensure they would be the most supreme quality family treasures for us and generations to come.

My husband and I had Melissa Fritzsche as our wedding photographer and she was so amazing. She asked really good questions about what we wanted to capture on our big day and she did that and more. She is willing to listen, adjust and go the extra mile to make sure you have photos that you can cherish forever. If you are on the fence about who to have as your wedding (or special event) photographer, let me tell you, I can’t recommend Melissa enough!

When I say you won’t be sorry, you truly will not be sorry hiring Melissa. I honestly don’t have enough positive things to say about her. She was professional, kind, an AMAZING photographer, and all around a huge help on our wedding day. She arrived early to the venue, helped me relax and just enjoy every moment leading up to the big moment, and just truly did an exceptional job with her photos. Out of all of my vendors I hired, she was by far -no question- the absolute best one.

We first met with Melissa on the recommendation of my mother. She has known Melissa for several years and had seen many of her photographs. Choosing the right photographer was very important to my wife. She wanted to be sure to find someone that would take photos that we could cherish for the rest of our life together. As soon as we met Melissa, Nicole was at ease. Melissa is one of the kindest, sweetest, most caring people I have ever met. We both felt how genuine she was immediately. We had so many stresses involved in planning our wedding. I know everyone does, but ours felt extreme. The venue closed down two months before our wedding so we had to start all over on that front. Then we picked another great venue for our outdoor wedding. When our wedding weekend rolled around there were torrential down pours the entire weekend. We had so much to re plan and coordinate. We never had a thing to worry about with Melissa. She came with a plan and a back-up plan. She did our engagement photos in the sweltering heat as well as our wedding day in a hurricane. She worked her tail off and stood out in the pouring rain with her husband holding an umbrella over her to get the perfect shots. We thoroughly enjoyed working with her and we love our wedding photos. I'm a pretty ugly dude, but she worked her magic and I love how I look in the photos. And my wife of course looked gorgeous. I cannot recommend Melissa enough. On a scale of 1-10 she's a 20! You will not regret hiring her as a photographer or gaining her as a friend!
