The dynamic duo

We loved Melissa from our very first zoom meeting. She understood my vision right away and made me confident that she could execute it. As changed came up she was patient and willing to help. We also love the fact that Melissa and Mike are married. Mike is a skilled photographer and made me comfortable right away. He has an artist eye and really takes creative well composed shots. I was impressed by his willingness to contort his body to get just the right shot. I definitely enjoyed their presence and energy. I highly recommend these two.
