Due to COVID, once we decided on our intimate wedding, we had to act fast. Melissa worked with us on a shorter notice. Our first meeting before the wedding, she was so through and we got to know each other, she asked us about what we want and are hoping for. She met with us at our venue before hand as well so we could chat about what to expect and where we would take some of our photos. The wedding day cam and I swear for most of it she was a sly on the wall. Looking back I can’t even remember when or how she took half of the pictures! She was able to capture many precious and intimate moments, some expected, and others not. You can see her compassion and vision through her work for sure. Having her photograph our wedding, she felt more like our invited guest rather than a photographer. She made us feel so special and every time I look through our photos I cry at a different one. She is also very culturally aware which we greatly appreciate as an interracial couple. Melissa is all around amazing and so special. We feel so lucky that she was willing and excited to capture our day. I could write loads more because she’s that damn good. It’s not hard to find a great photographer. But Melissa is professional, highly skilled, and such a genuinely kind and empathetic person. I guarantee you will definitely want to work with her more than once 💛

We highly recommend Melissa!
Melissa was everything we could have asked for in a wedding photographer. We loved her as soon as we met her over coffee and muffins. She was so accommodating and went above and beyond! As someone who hates to be photographed I wanted so badly to have just ONE wedding photo I liked. They were all more beautiful than I could have imagined. Thank you melissa for being a part of our special day we couldn't have done it without you!

Stunning pictures
Melissa was an absolute joy to have as part of our ceremony. She was able to capture every emotion and all the different personalities of our family & guests.
Her thoughtful insights helped us capture our day more than we could have imagined.
We all (bride/groom/family) felt that Melissa was a friend rather than a vendor.
We also received an amazing online gallery very quickly, especially with the quality of the photos. And her pricing was more than reasonable & communication excellent.
Melissa is absolutely wonderful to work with, and she takes the most incredible pictures! She has an eye for detail and captures the beauty of moments with her camera like no one else.
Melissa is hardworking, trustworthy, friendly and a true professional. She puts a lot of effort & care into making sure that each couple she works with is happy. I would hire Melissa in a heartbeat!
