The best wedding decision I made!

Melissa was amazing! She went above and beyond for us and was available for any question possible! She is professional and so very talented. Working with her was by far the most enjoyable interaction when it came to my wedding. She works very hard to get sneak peaks back very quickly and they have an ability to make you smile and feel like every emotion has been captured within the photograph! She uses very little editing so photos are perfectly you. I cannot wait to have an occasion to use Melissa again, she provided me with amazing service, great advice and stunning photos! I would recommend her 100x over!

What more can I say other than Melissa and her mom are as good as it gets. She is highly professional, has an amazing attitude, and is more prepared for the stress of the day than we could have ever imagined. She has a vibrant personality, and is totally devoted to making the photo process as easy and efficient as possible. As far as we are concerned she exceeded all of our expectations! If you are looking for the best photography experience stop here. She is it!

We couldn't have been happier to have Melissa be a part of our special day! Everything she did was absolutely perfect. She took beautiful, creative pictures. She kept control of our big families to make family formal pictures so super fast and smooth. She also did everything she could beforehand to make sure that she knew what was important to us on the big day and what we wanted photographed for sure. We got our pictures back so fast and everything was so personalized. We couldn't have made a better choice!

She was absolutely wonderful! I loved that she had camera views from two different angles all day! She captured all of the special moments from multiple angles.
All of the pictures turned out beautiful and the video she made that included me getting ready, church pictures, bridal party, ceremony, video, family pictures, reception pictures and videos of the dances and speeches turned out wonderful.
I loved the photos and music picked for the video and how wonderful everything flowed together from picture to video to picture. Wouldn't have wanted anyone else not could have asked for anything better!
If you know exactly what you want picture wise she's great! And even if your not sure what you want picture wise, you can trust that everything will turn out beautifully!

WOW! Melissa Mata is as amazing as they come. Her work is simply second to none. Melissa is professional, punctual, kind, and very reasonably priced. She listens to all your wants and needs during every step of your wedding photography preparations. We had three different photographers do our engagement pictures (I'm picky,so I wanted to compare and pick the person I thought did the best job), Melissa did the best hands down. We did our engagement session on a Sunday afternoon and ended around 5pm. She had all proofs edited and sent to us by noon the next day! She followed up before the wedding to make sure every detail was covered for the special day. Our wedding day went off without a hitch, thanks to her. Her mom helped with my dress, garter, and finding people in the wedding party for photos. That's typically not the job of the photographers, and they did it with a smile on their face. Melissa kept our wedding party on schedule from beginning to end (which can be very challenging) and we were even running a little late from hair and makeup. When we got to the reception, Melissa kept us on schedule when it came to cutting the cake, tossing the bouquet and garter,etc. We never worried that we would be doing something late or in the wrong place, because we knew we had Melissa there to ease our minds and guide us where we needed to be. Melissa worked right up until it was her time to go and asked if there was any more shots we wanted to get. Even after 12+hours of hard work she was still willing to please any and all needs that we had. We had a sneak peek of the photos 3 days after the wedding. 2 weeks after the wedding we had a complete album full of proofs (20 more than promised) and our incredible wedding cd completed. Impressive! Our wedding pictures were put in a beautiful photo album and a personalized USB - she simply does everything with such class and great taste. I requested additional cds and she had them in the mail the next day. Thank you, Melissa!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
