Best photographer ever-- hands down.

As everyone knows, finding a wedding photographer is so stressful yet so exciting. Seeing how many photographers there are out there does not usually make the decision-making process easy. I personally had followed Melody on social media for a while even before my engagement due to how incredible her work was. For me, Melodys work made this decision VERY easy for me to make. My fiancé and I came into this nervous knowing both of us would be pretty camera shy. If you're reading this and that's a thought that you may be worrying about, you might as well just throw it out the window now because Melody made us feel SO comfortable in front of the camera with such ease. Her warm, cheery and welcoming personality (even at 5 a.m. for a sunrise session) made it as easy as it could possibly have been. Every part of our session was so seamless and so much fun.
After receiving our sneak peaks shortly after our session, I was obsessed and could not wait for the completed gallery. Fast forward to receiving our full gallery, I am in absolute awe and just want to stare at them and put them on anything and everything. I am a big picture person so having beautiful photos documenting this time was very important to me.
If you're debating on choosing Melody has your engagement/wedding photographer, please do yourself the favor and stop searching because she is by far the best decision I have made thus far. I cannot wait for her to be there and document my wedding day in March.

An amazing experience every step of the way

Melody is incredible! We had the pleasure of being photographed by her for our engagement shoot last summer. We unfortunately had to reschedule numerous times due to terrible weather and a family emergency and Melody was SO understanding, kind, and flexible. I appreciate how sweet she was throughout that entire process.

When it came to the photo shoot itself, she immediately put us at ease and helped guide us through the entire process in a way that felt fun, natural, and easy. She got our gallery back to us so quickly and every photo came out so beautifully! She has such a talent for capturing the energy of the couple and optimizing the surrounding environment to make every photo incredible. We can’t wait for her to photograph our wedding later this year!

Such a fantastic person and photographer

Melody is an amazing photographer, she took pictures for my wife and i’s engagement photos and our vow renewal photos and my god she does such beautiful work. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask Melody to take pictures for me and my wife again. She makes the picture taking fun even for people who don’t necessarily like photos. She’s so flexible with her times and is open to anything that you may want, and will make recommendations based on what she can. She really helped capture the beautiful moment for my wife and I, and I honestly can’t say enough about how amazing Melody is. Thank you Melody for everything you do, I’m so glad we got to work with you.
