About

There’s one thing you should know about me before you hire me to shoot your wedding… I might cry during your ceremony. Despite my best efforts, I’ve done it a number of times. Ok… a lot of times. There’s just certain couples whose love and pure joy at the culmination of their years of waiting for one another pours out of them and infects everyone at the wedding… and I get sucked in. I can’t help it—I shoot with my heart. And if you’re one of the couples I’ve described above-I want to shoot your wedding. I want to be there. My approach to weddings is to capture spontaneous moments with an artistic eye while working unobtrusively. My goal is to create images that tell a story & become tangible reminders of the feelings shared between a bride & groom.

Melissa Jill is an internationally recognized Phoenix-based wedding photographer who has been shooting weddings for 13 years. She photographs 10-12 high-end weddings a year and also has five associate photographers who shoot weddings under her brand at lower price points.

Melissa Jill is absolutely awesome! She captured my engagements and wedding day and I couldn't be happier with the results. She was very flexible as I was planning my wedding out of state and had to fly in for my shoot. Melissa is incredibly creative and I love all the details she captured of my wedding. Her crew is also very lovely to work with. She is also just the nicest lady and really makes you feel special. Melissa has a quick turnaround with images, which is so impressive. I am absolutely obsessed with my images and am so grateful I choose Melissa for the task. She's just fabulous.

I cannot say enough great things about the awesome experience I had with Melissa Jill Photography! :) From the second I saw the beautiful, natural pictures on the website, I knew I had found exactly what I had envisioned and was thrilled to book with Tina, Melissa’s associate photographer. During our initial meeting, I could tell Tina knew exactly what I was looking for. Leading up to the big day, Melissa’s office manager, Alaine, kept me organized and on track. She was kind, very patient, and so easy to communicate with! On the day of our wedding, Tina and her associate photographer, Janelle, were a true joy to work with. When we got the proofs (shortly after the wedding!), we could not have been happier with them! (I must add that neither my husband nor I are ‘picture people’ and were hoping for just a few great shots that we could remember the day with. Well, we LOVED them all!) We continue receiving compliments on our pictures. So, SO happy with this photographer!!
A million thanks to Tina, Janelle, Alaine, and Melissa for the beautiful memories captured! I look forward to working with them again the next time I need photos :)

Very Impressed!

Just phenomenal! We were so thrilled with the job Melissa Jill Photography did for our wedding. Working with Rennae was great, we had the chance to meet up ahead of time to talk about what we were looking for, what was important for us, and how we wanted to capture our memories. She and the whole MJ team were incredibly professional and great to work with. Highly recommend!

Scrumptious, dreamy and creatively composed. These were the very first words that popped into my mind when Melissa sent me photos of a wedding we both recently had the pleasure of working. If only I had known her all those years ago when I got married! If you are in the planning stages of your own wedding, you would be smart to contact Melissa. Her photos will be treasured.

Melissa is a brilliant photographer and business woman. Her photography truly speaks for itself. Melissa goes above and beyond with her clients. She makes sure all of the details are put together properly and has a personality that shines. When I worked with her, I saw her Bride and Groom come to tears of joy over the photographs of their big day. I highly recommend Melissa.

I've worked with a lot of fine photographers, but Melissa is definitely one of the most professional and accommodating photographers in the valley. The brides just love her!
