Could not be happier!

I can’t say enough positive things about our experience working with Melissa! Our photos came out SO beautifully and she was such a kind, calming, and professional presence leading up to our wedding and on the day itself. She made sure to answer all of our questions, even the questions we didn’t know we had. On our wedding day she gave us just enough direction to make us feel comfortable without making our photos look staged. I was also so impressed with how well she wrangled all of our family members into our family shots! It was such a joy to get our photos back and see our day reflected so perfectly. I am so happy we chose to work with Melissa!

Experienced Professional`

Melissa was one of our favorite parts of our wedding day. She was calm, organized, and thorough with all of the shots that we asked for - and was willing to climb into a treehouse to get extra fun shots as well. She had the photos ready for us quicker than her estimate, and even sent us some early with our moms for Mother's day. We've looked through our photos hundreds of times already and every one captures the joy we felt on our wedding day perfectly.

Melissa is amazing!

Melissa was a dream to work with. We have to reschedule our wedding multiple times due to COVID, and she was extremely understanding. She understood our vision for the day and who we were as a couple. She provided excellent direction on the wedding day (you need someone to wrangle all those family members), while also allowing us to enjoy the event and not spend the whole time taking photos. The pictures turned out BEAUTIFULLY! Not over exposed or over saturated, beautifully shot, they were everything we had hoped for and more!

From the big picture to the finer details, Melissa is a pro!

We're going to cherish the wedding photos Melissa took on our big day forever! She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Not only is she a pro at couple and family wedding portraits, but she captured so many candid, fun moments throughout our day. She went above and beyond, also capturing the finer details of our wedding and our guests.

Melissa is the best!!!

Melissa was our wedding photographer in 2017, and we couldn’t have been happier about hiring her! Her photography is beautiful. Now, 7 years later, she is still my first choice photography for any important milestones. She is an absolute natural at helping babies & kids feel comfortable, and she adapts to any unexpected surprises they throw her way! I am so grateful to have found Melissa in 2017, and thrilled that we’ve both remained nearby geographically so that we can continue working together again and again!

Melissa is the absolute BEST!!!

We knew from our first phone call with Melissa that she was going to be the perfect fit for our day! We didn't have any experience working closely with a photographer, but Melissa helped us get started, guided us through the whole process, and answered any and all questions. On the day of our wedding, Melissa made us feel so comfortable and even arrived early to pick out the best spots and lighting at our venue. Even after our big day, Melissa kept such great communication and updated us on our wedding album which we appreciated so much! We are so thankful for Melissa and we loved every minute of working together. We highly recommend!!!

Melissa was amazing to work with!

I heard of Melissa through a mutual friend. After speaking with Melissa on a call, I instantly knew she would be perfect for our small, intimate wedding that we were planning in just 3 short weeks. She cared, listened, and was a great team player. Melissa was extremely attentive and communicative, and with her guidance, we made it all come together very quickly. I had no idea our small, low-key wedding could look incredibly beautiful. We will treasure these photos forever!

Fantastic experience with Melissa

Melissa is such a fantastic photographer. We loved having her at our wedding, and she also did a great engagement shoot for us. We chose Melissa because we loved her portfolio, and the pictures she took for us (both at our wedding, and during our engagement shoot) turned out wonderfully. She is passionate about her work and has a great eye for detail. I would highly recommend Melissa!

We ***HIGHLY*** recommend Melissa!

If you're considering booking Melissa as your wedding photographer...just go ahead and do it. It will be the best decision you make for your wedding. Melissa is so professional, friendly, kind and talented. She went above and beyond. We would definitely hire her again for any other photography needs and would recommend to any friends getting married in the area. She really captured the spirit of our celebration and so many people said to me afterward "You had the nicest and most fun wedding photographer!" We're so in love with our photos and look at them all the time to remember our special day. We also weren't the most traditional couple and Melissa was completely supportive. Thank you, Melissa, for being incredible in all respects!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
