Reviews of Photography By Melissa Marie

I am so happy with Photography by Melissa Marie. From the very beginning, she made every effort to establish a personal connection, instead of just trying to land a client. Melissa shot my engagement and wedding sessions and her process was very professional without being overly formal. Melissa's pricing is affordable, but that doesn't mean you lose out on quality. I would highly recommend Melissa to anyone!

Melissa was AMAZING! We hired her to photograph our son’s adoption finalization at court. She was early, took the hundreds of different group shots we wanted, captured incredible once-in-a-lifetime moments in the courtroom, and even took more group shots afterwards. She was so sweet and flexible leading up to the big day as well. Very responsive to our emails. Her artistic vision for our event really helped us get the best photos possible. I will treasure them for a lifetime. Would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer.

Melissa was my main photographer for my wedding on 11/4/17 and she was nothing short of amazing! She also provided a second shooter and he was great! The two of them worked so well together! I couldn’t have done it without them! Melissa was so understanding of everything! She kept reassuring me that everything would be ok! Made us feel comfortable and brought us out of our comfort zone during both photo shoots (engagement and wedding). Melissa took control of the night and made the scheduled events happen and was always right there for a picture! I had multiple guests say how sweet, professional, patient and outgoing she was! I know some family & friends as well as us will be using Melissa for future photo shoots! You won’t be disappointed in her at all!

Melissa shot mine and my husbands wedding and I don't have not one bad thing to say about the experience. She was so professional and yet fun, I really loved it! Not to mention, the photos she got of our special day were everything I hoped they would be. I would recommend her to anyone for any type of event.

Melissa was so great! She has such a unique look to her photos you can't find easily! I wanted last minute pictures for my 1 years old birthday and she worked with me to get them done in time for her birthday party! I would definitely recommend for all occasions!!!

Melissa is a true professional. She made sure the wedding ran perfectly and captured all our special moments. She has to travel between 3 different sites and did it all with ease. Making the day stress free for us since we knew all our pictures were going to be done right. She is calm, happy, and understands how to capture your big day!

Hands down the best photographer in the inland empire! I searched for a photographer for months until she was referred to me. She is so quick to respond and works with you in any way she can. She's a mother of two and she was gracious enough to photograph my big day on MOTHERS DAY. She made me and my husband feel so comfortable when taking our intimate pictures, and the rest of our wedding party adored her. Our wedding pictures only took 8 weeks to come back to us and most vendors I know take up to at least a year. Her pricing is right on the dot and the quality of her work is beyond words. You can't go wrong with Photography by Melissa Marie!!
