Not only does wedding planning mean that you’ve got extra to-dos on your daily docket, it also means lots of added stress. And when your family, friends, even your bridal party can’t help to alleviate some of the strain, being able to count on a vendor to mellow you out is 🙌🙌🙌. Melissa has been described as ‘the perfect combination of positive energy and calm,’ and if you ask us, that wizardry is ohhhh-so-wedding-worthy. She ensures her clients always have fun and feel low-pressure so they can really focus on enjoying the moments they want to share with their loved ones. She anticipates her couples’ moves before they make them, and commits to being in the right place before they even have to ask. She’s organized, prepared, armed with extra equipment, the right lenses to handle even the darkest stone churches or dimly-lit receptions, and patient+assertive 24/7 so that she can take hold of any moment, even if there’s some stress.

I can’t say enough positive things about Melissa Koren Photography and how much my partner and I appreciate Melissa and respect her work. Melissa was exceptionally responsive, kind, and flexible (especially given that I had a last-minute wedding). She was happy to accommodate us. On the wedding day, we were shocked at the number of pictures she was able to take within the time frame we had booked her for. She made us feel comfortable and confident. She didn’t hesitate to help moving my dress around and even made a great suggestion about where to stand for the ceremony due to the light. We were so glad to have her there. The pictures from both sessions with her are stunning and we can’t imagine a more special way to have documented the day. We’re so thankful to have found Melissa and would love to work with her again sometime. It’s clear to us that Melissa is a true, quality professional who excels at the job she does and is passionate about her work. We’ll be highly recommending Melissa Koren Photography to anybody looking to have pictures done!

One of the best decisions we made for the wedding!
Melissa not only captured the joy of our special day, she also went above and beyond what would be expected of a photographer. Everything little thing we didn't think to bring, she had with her. A few people in the party forgot to cut off the clothing hanging straps in their dresses, but it wasn't a problem because she had scissors with her! She also had tips on how to quickly button up the back of the wedding dress and bustled it up for the ceremony in no time at all, which was great because it always took us forever to find where the buttons were hiding. When it was getting too hot during the reception, she checked with the venue about opening up the doors for us. She had such a great attitude and helped us out in ways we never even expected. And the photos! We're absolutely in love with them. They're so beautiful and elegant, but they also show us for the huge goofballs we are. She really captured the fun of the day. As the bride and groom you're so busy that it's inevitable you'll miss some moments, but because of what an amazing job Melissa did, we're able to see so many more special moments that went on while we were busy making googly eyes at each other. We're so glad that we decided to hire her as out photographer and can't recommend her enough!

Home is in Melissa's Magic
Melissa is so very much more than the most talented photographer you'll meet. When Rob and I first agreed to mawwaige, we agreed on two things: first, as New Hampshire residents, it had to be in October, when the leaves are at their most magical. And second, which October leaf-peaking weekend would depend on Melissa's availability. We would wait a year, if that's what it took. We knew that no one else would be able to capture the tenderness, the silliness, and the love that our little family of three had grown together.
Long story short, she said yes, and we were elated! From behind-the-scenes gorgeous shots of the details that made our wedding so very "us," to the expressions she captured on our faces, it was all that we wished for and more. Wedding, family mini-session, brilliance and more, Melissa will make your world radiant. She will help you see in the beauty in yourself, in the people you love, and in every moment that follows.
