About

From Melissa:

Hello and congratulations on your recent engagement!! Thank you for checking out my profile and taking the time to get to know a little more about me. I can not wait to meet you! This is the most exciting time for you and I can not wait to be a part of your special day. I love photographing intimate weddings with just the couple and a few close loved ones, or elopements that are all about your love and nothing else! The beach is my happy place so if you are looking to grab your partner and run off to elope on the beach, you are my kind of people!! I have been passionately following my heart since my journey with photography started ten years ago. Photographing people on their happiest day is what I love the most and I feel so blessed to be able to document a couple's love as my career.

Wonderful experience!!

My husband Cory and I absolutely loved working with Melissa! She was incredibly flexible even under a tight time constraint for our first looks; she had wonderful ideas for posing and where to take pictures before, during, and after the ceremony; and she got several beautiful shots of us together at sunset (our favorite time of day). Even more impressive, she got over 200 photos sent back to us within 2 weeks of our wedding day! We were so happy to be able to review them while on our honeymoon. I would most definitely work with Melissa again.

Fantastic Photographer

Absolutely loved Melissa's work. We booked her for our wedding last week and she did a fantastic job. She took the time to learn the names of the wedding party to make it more personable, and put in the extra effort that showed she cares. All of the photos turned out beautiful and she was able to capture all of the natural beauty of the venue with each shot. Melissa showed up early and was so patient through all of the chaos of getting ready. I could not have asked for a more talented photographer and genuine person. Highly recommend for any occasion. Her artistic eye and creativity truly showed through in every photo. Thank you again for making our special day so memorable and for capturing the moments that will last a lifetime.

Best photographer ever!

Melissa was the best part about my wedding day (besides my groom of course), she is not only professional, creative and fun- she has such a great way of making her subjects feel comfortable. My new husband and I are not great fans of being photographed, but Melissa actually had us really enjoying it. She comes up with great poses and goes above and beyond the typical poses with genius creativity. I can’t say enough great things about her. We live two states away and I can honestly say we will travel to her when we do any family photos in the future!!! She is the best!

An Artist, an Angel, I'm obsessed

I was tempted to leave a 5 star review even before receiving my photos because Melissa was that much of a pleasure to work with, despite a crazy family and wedding coordinator. However, I just recieved my sneak peak, and OH. MY. WORD. Melissa is a Godsend. The pictures are STUNNING. I told her to just follow her artistic eye, and she did not miss. I'm overwhelmed. I just love her and my photos so so much, and I can't wait to see the rest.

Beach Wedding Pictures

Melissa was incredible to work with. My husband and I are from KY and found her through researching photographers in the area and loved that she had multiple options for our small beach wedding ceremony. She had samples the very next day and full portfolio within 2 weeks. She captured who we are and our wonderful day. I would recommend her to anyone wanting to use her for beach setting pictures cause she knows exactly how to capture the perfect lighting. Thank you again Melissa for pictures that we will cherish for the rest of our lives!

The most AMAZING woman!

Melissa was the absolute BEST at our elopement in Charleston. She was so kind, warm and patient with my husband and I, who are a bit camera shy. There was never an inkling in my mind that our photos weren't going to turn out absolutely perfect (even on a somewhat gloomy day!) Melissa was also incredibly efficient - We got so many amazing photos in just a short amount of time. Next time we are in Charleston and needing photos, she will absolutely be our first choice. Love love love Melissa!

Incredible Photographer - Highly Recommend!

Melissa was so incredible to work with that I want to get married all over again! Booking with her was easy, and on the day of she was organized, timely, kind, anticipated all of our needs, and even went as far as to adjust my dress, put my veil back in when it fell out, and help me out of my shoes for beach pics. She stuck with my list of desired photos and took my location suggestions with ease. She was charming with our families, has wonderful creative instincts and gave great guidance to my now-husband and myself on how to pose. The photos she sent are STUNNING and I can’t wait to frame them in our home, give to family members as gifts and show them to our future family. I am so grateful to her for so eloquently capturing some of the most special moments in our lives. Highly, highly recommend her services for any special event!
