Review for Retrospect Designs – Melanie McIntire

Working with Melanie from Retrospect Designs was an absolute joy! From the first conversation to the final gallery, Melanie made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. She is warm, approachable, and so easy to work with—her calm, friendly personality made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, which truly shows in the photos.

Melanie has an incredible talent for capturing not just posed portraits, but the true spirit of the day. Our highlights, our most sincere moments, and our genuine interactions with family and guests were all beautifully documented. Every time we look through our photos, we are struck by how authentically she preserved the emotions and connections that made our wedding so special.

Her attention to detail and creative eye gave us a collection that feels timeless yet personal. Each image tells part of our story, from the big moments of the ceremony to the quiet, candid glances in between.

We are beyond grateful for Melanie’s artistry and dedication. If you want a photographer who will not only deliver stunning photos but also make the process fun and stress-free, we wholeheartedly recommend Retrospect Designs.

I was in a wedding a few years ago where Melanie was the photographer and when I got engaged I knew there was no one else I wanted to hire for mine. Melanie is a dream to work with! She listened to ideas, including looking at my Pinterest board. and of course had ideas and suggestions of her own. Her photography is beautiful and she finishes the albums quickly. I highly recommend her!
