From the moment I reached out to her the communication was excellent from beginning to end. The day of the wedding she went above and beyond for us. Our wedding was supposed to be outside but it got real windy and started raining during the set-up, my hair was ruined and I had no tools or anything to fix it. I wanted to cry so bad but had to be strong and not also ruin my makeup. Melissa was by my side reassuring me the pictures will still come out good and told me not to worry. She comforted me when she didn’t have to and I am so grateful to her for being so kind. I felt so defeated because of my hair and that made me incredibly vulnerable, but Melissa became my biggest support system. She guided us throughout the whole event and at times I felt as though she was our coordinator as well (I didn’t book one because since we were such a small intimate wedding I thought we didn’t need one, but I was so wrong!) She took charge and reassured me it would turn out fine and it did. The way she directed us and handled everything with such ease, how lucky I was that our photographer Melissa turned out to be incredibly talented and somehow managed to take many awesome shots of us despite my hair fiasco. I will forever be grateful. Thank you Melissa!!!! I recommend everyone to book her for your event. She did an amazing job.

We are truly grateful that we had Melissa and Javier capture the most special day of our life and in such a beautiful way. The pictures were stunning and their eye and attention to detail made all the difference in enhancing each photo and we couldn’t be happier. They were extremely pleasant and nice to work with and put us at ease when we felt overwhelmed at times! We would highly recommend hiring Simply Captivating!

I had my wedding about a month ago, and I cannot recommend this photographer highly enough. She and her husband did an absolutely incredible job capturing the day. The photos were stunning, and they worked quickly and efficiently while still managing to assist with little things, like helping with my dress, which I truly appreciated.

Their experience was evident in the way they guided us effortlessly through each shot, knowing exactly what to do to capture the moments we’ll treasure forever. I was beyond happy with the final results of both the photos and the videos. The videos transported me right back to the day—so beautifully done. They provided multiple edited videos as well as the raw footage, and even offered the opportunity to make edits if needed.

Their service was outstanding—professional, thorough, and thoughtful from start to finish. If you’re looking for a photographer for your wedding or any special event, I wholeheartedly recommend them. For my wedding, they were simply perfect.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Melissa, and I cannot recommend their services highly enough! From start to finish, the entire experience was nothing short of exceptional. Their professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail truly set them apart from other photographers.

Not only does Melissa have a unique artistic vision, but they also have an incredible ability to make you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. Every shot felt natural and personal, and the final images were absolutely stunning capturing moments and emotions that I will cherish forever.

Whether you’re looking for stunning portraits, breathtaking landscapes, or intimate event photography, this vendor delivers excellence in every frame. If you’re looking for a photographer who goes above and beyond to make your vision come to life, look no further. Melissa is an absolute master of their craft, and I couldn’t be happier with the results!

Working with Melissa was such a breath of fresh air! As a fellow vendor, it’s always a game-changer when you have a photographer on-site who’s not only incredibly talented but also collaborative, professional, and a joy to work alongside.

Melissa has a calm, confident presence that puts everyone at ease couples, families, guests, and vendors alike. They know how to capture all the right moments while still being totally unobtrusive, and they never miss a beat when it comes to timeline flow or key transitions.

What stood out the most was their communication and flexibility. They were on top of everything without ever making the day feel rushed or staged. We worked in sync the entire event, making it so much easier to keep things running smoothly and ensure a seamless experience for the couple.

You can tell they care deeply about their work and the people they’re capturing and it shows in every frame. I would jump at the chance to work with Melissa again and highly recommend them to any couple or vendor looking for a true professional who elevates every event they’re part of.

Melissa and Javier were hands down our best vendor on our wedding day! Not only did our pictures and video turn out absolutely stunning, but they are just the nicest people! They go above and beyond to make the experience comfortable while making sure they capture every little detail and moment. Melissa even went as far as to bustle my dress and she made sure family was organized for pictures so everything flowed effortlessly. We were even ahead of our timeline. She was on top of it all! I still have family and friends coming up to me saying how amazing our photo and video crew was on our wedding day. And we received all of our pictures, thousands of them, within 2 weeks of the wedding while we were on our honeymoon and our video within the month. This is unheard of and I have friends who were shocked how fast turn around was. Not only did we get every picture she took but they were edited too. And we were able to receive the raw footage as well which was so nice to have. I will definitely be using Simply Captivating to capture all our big family life events moving forward! Thank you Melissa and Javier from the bottom of our hearts!

I hired Melissa and Javier to capture my wedding and they did not disappoint! From our first video call I felt a connection to them. They were so nice and welcoming and easy to talk to. They were so flexible and understanding with everything I wanted for my wedding. They even went above and beyond when my mom got a cancer diagnosis a couple months before my wedding and they made sure I got photos with her beforehand. These are photos I will cherish forever, and the kindness Melissa and Javier have just radiate when you meet them. Their skills are just as amazing and they make you so comfortable when capturing your event. They are so quick but get the best photos and footage. I am struggling to pick which photos I want to print because they are all just so amazing. I HIGHLY recommend choosing Simply Captivating. They will be my first choice if I have any other event or memories to capture. I can't thank them enough for giving me the best product for my wedding.

Melisa and Javier are the BEST team to work with for your wedding photography and videography!!! I was so happy to be able to work with them after hearing so many wonderful things from friends and family who have worked with them before. They are experienced professionals that worked smoothly with our church and other wedding vendors to make sure our day ran smoothly. As a bride having my mind all over the place the day of her wedding, Melissa made sure everything was taken care of when it came to capturing the perfect moments. Our pictures captured the day so perfectly and our communication for producing our video and receiving our photos back has been great and so fast. We can’t recommend them enough!

Melissa was our wedding photographer, and she was absolutely amazing! Our wedding photos came out so beautiful! Melissa is super nice, responsive, and professional. She made us feel so special on our wedding day and captured such special moments. I highly recommend hiring Simply Captivating for your wedding day!

I can’t speak highly enough of Melissa and the job she did for our wedding. She truly went above and beyond. From our initial meeting with her we could tell she was extremely organized and focused on what we wanted our photos to look like.

Leading up to the wedding she gave us every opportunity to specify shots or styles we wanted. The whole experience felt so customizable. In addition, Melissa also provided her experience and expertise to ensure us our photos would be fantastic. It was the perfect balance of customizability and guidance.

During the wedding Melissa was almost like an additional wedding coordinator. To some extent she quarterbacked the day for us. She really goes above and beyond in this regard and it gave us confidence that all was going to plan.

Finally, the end product was incredible. We are so happy with our photos and videos. Friends and family are in awe. Even our venue requested the photos to be used in marketing material. Melissa’s pricing is very reasonable especially when compared to others of her caliber in South Florida. I have already and will continue to highly recommend Melissa.
