Wonderful pictures and video

My husband and I have just had the hardest time picking only 40 pictures for our wedding album. I would choose all of them if I could. Melodye was such a great person to work with and we enjoyed every minute of it. Her videographer also did a fantastic job. We have had so many compliments on the video and photos!. I would highly recommend Purdy Art Company to anyone looking for a professional photographer.

Best NWA Photographer

Melody has been apart of so many family moments for us since 2011, the most recent being my gender reveal this past weekend. She is such a light to be around and her work with her turnaround time never ceases to amaze me! She’s an amazing photographer who can become an amazing part of your family if you let her! We will be using her as long as she still loves to hold a camera in hand.

She doesn’t just take photos, she creates memories

We have been fortunate to work with Purdy Art over the years — from capturing our family weddings, to senior photos for our daughter, and most recently, the unforgettable gender reveal for our upcoming grandbaby. Each time, she has exceeded every expectation, going the extra mile (literally) to meet us wherever our memories were being made.
She doesn’t just take photos — she becomes part of the celebration. Whether it’s making sure the energy never dips, bringing humor to every moment, or stepping in seamlessly to keep things flowing, she ensures the experience is as incredible as the final images. Her talent is matched only by her warmth and dedication, and every photo reflects the love and care she pours into her craft.

With Purdy Art, you’re not just paying for a photographer — you’re investing in the most joyful, stress-free, and beautifully documented moments of your life. Thank you, Purdy Art, for your unmatched attention to detail, your dedication, and the love you’ve put into every single project for our family. You’ve given us priceless treasures we’ll cherish for a lifetime.

Amazingly talented professional

Melodye was absolutely amazing! All the arrangements were coordinated from Florida and then the big day finally came. Melodye even made sure to schedule a Zoom call with us to get to know our story and how we met, to ensure the best photos possible. It's safe to say that everything went perfectly, and we couldn't be happier. If you’re looking for the best possible person to capture a special moment, look no further. Thank you so much for an amazing experience on such a special day for us!

Best Photography Experience!

Melodye truly captured the magic of the happiest day of my life with the most stunning photos! From the very beginning, she was incredibly sweet and attentive, staying connected with us every step of the way leading up to the wedding. I really appreciated how she took the time to explain her process and style — it made us feel so comfortable, and the results were absolutely breathtaking. Bonus points for going the extra mile with a Zoom call to get to know us personally, which was so helpful since we were are from out of state. If you're looking for a photographer who is not only talented but also thoughtful and personable, I can't recommend Melodye enough!

Perfect choice!

If there were an option for 10 stars, that would be my choice. My husband and I live in Georgia and were not familiar with the area. Melodye went above and beyond with recommendations and helping with details while we were there. She truly tries to make the whole experience a memorable one. We asked for a mix of candid and posed shots in hopes of catching the emotions we felt as well. Melodye caught it all, the photos were exactly what we’d envisioned. I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Melodye Purdy.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
