Melissa and her team was great on wedding day! They are all very personable and nice. They definitely made me and my husband comfortable in front of the camera. We are definitely not picture taking people. Would recommend her to others!

Melissa and her photography partner James are great to work with. They're prepared, punctual, and very good at coaching you even if you consider yourself awkward in front of the camera. James is especially bubbly and was so kind in helping me fluff my wedding dress and bringing my partner and me water during our photoshoot. I initially chose VIVIDfotos for my engagement shoot because I was looking for exactly their particular style of photos. They capture the true beauty of a moment without being overly stylized or edited. Melissa just has an incredible eye for composition and lighting. I was completely blown away by the engagement photos and immediately booked VIVIDfotos again for my July 2025 wedding. I've received a set of preview photos from the wedding and cannot stop obsessing over them. They're stunning and I couldn't be happier. With VIVIDfotos you're also getting personalized service. A few weeks before the wedding we decided we didn't need 8 hours for our wedding shoot, and asked Melissa if she would allow us to amend the contract. She did so without hesitation and allowed us to credit some of the hours to a future shoot at no cost, even though it will be more work for her to set up her equipment all over again. As we learned with all of our vendors, Melissa is extremely busy and may be occupied with other things, so you may need to remind her of any particular needs the day of your shoot. We had asked for a change of outfit at our engagement shoot, and weren't sure about the protocol for this. We didn't bring it up until the end of our contracted time. She granted us extra time for photos in our 2nd outfits at no extra cost. If you're looking for a very professional photographer who is guaranteed to deliver outstanding quality photos, look no further.

VIVIDFotos is awesome! When we reached out to them, we were thick in the tumultuous world of COVID days, haggardly planning amidst our third date change. We needed another photographer, and VIVIDFotos was accomodating and understanding of our request. They were also flexible with our various changes, be it switching venues, adding on a last-minute hour of photography, or dealing with sudden outdoor gathering restrictions!

On the day of the wedding, Melissa was fantastic. When the shooting location we originally planned on taking photos in fell through, she thought of another place for us to take photos. Though neither me or the groom have posed much for pictures before, she managed to get us and the wedding party comfortable and loosened up through all the photos. She also captured every detail of the day of, from stills of the decor to candids of the reception! When we received the photos, we were floored by how beautiful it all looked, as well as how promptly we received them! We absolutely recommend VIVIDFotos to capture your wedding!

VIVID Fotos does really amazing work in their photography and videography! Our engagement and wedding photos were so epic and beautiful! Mel and her team were so fun and easy to work with and the whole team was so professional and organized! Our same day edit was so beautiful we all cried happy tears!

VIVIDfotos is truly the best! We were familiar with their work because they did a few of our friends weddings and we knew right away that we loved their style. Our Same-Day Edit video was so perfect and our guests loved it! They captured so many beautiful photos, we love them all. From beginning to end, Melissa and the entire team were so helpful in working out the details for capturing all the memorable moments of our wedding. All the personal touches and correspondence for the months leading up to our wedding made it a wonderful experience. We are so excited to use them again (not for another wedding, of course! lol) but for any future baby & family portraits as well.

We chose VIVIDFotos to photograph our destination wedding day because we were blown away by the quality of their photography. On their website, you can view a full wedding and you can tell that they really calculate their shots, but with efficiency. We booked them two years ago when we started planning because we just had a good feeling about them. And we were right. Mel & Bal were so responsive to our emails (remember, we’ve been back and forth for about 2 years!) and nothing got lost in communication. They even sent us a “Welcome Packet” that had tips on what to expect on the wedding day and even a suggested list of group photos to take!
Throughout the whole planning process, they were so professional, responsive, thoughtful, and overall great.

Fast-forward to our wedding day, Mel and Crysta were so professional & friendly. I’m not good in front of the camera, but they coached me through everything, every single time. They were so organized, systematic, and efficient with their photography. Talking to them didn’t feel like we were talking to vendors or “people we booked.” They talked to us like we were friends for a long time, and that’s honestly how it should be when it comes to photography or videography. They made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera.

Although we did not book them for videography, they do a stellar job with that as well.

We cannot thank VIVIDFotos enough for spectacularly capturing all the moments of our special day!

My fiance and I received a free engagement session after winning a raffle with Vividfotos! Being new to the whole wedding scenario and having pictures taken, they helped us feel comfortable the whole time. They made it easy! They had us laughing the whole time!! We were so thrilled with their work from the engagement session, we went back and asked them to photograph OUR WEDDING!! You can not go wrong with this team of awesome photographers. Pssst, they do cinematography as well! :D

Can we just gush about VIVIDfotos??!! Talk about a downright talented, professional, warm, and accommodating team. VIVIDfotos was one of our favorite vendors to work with. They met with us several times to get to know us as a couple, answer any questions, and understand our concerns and desires. They did whatever it took to get the perfect shots during our engagement photo session and during our wedding! We had a Christmas wedding, and we mostly worked with Melissa - we nicknamed her "Melissa Claus" because every time we saw her, she was just so warm, accommodating, and always had cookies for us. :0) We chose VIVIDfotos because we fell in love with their dramatic, photojournalistic style and the way that they incorporated the landscape into their work. As we got to know them and work with them, we noticed how quickly they would reply to our emails and how they would go above and beyond to make sure we were happy. Even down to the littlest details, like their packaging, or sending us cards in the mail, or the helpful hints and tips they would give us, the sneak previews, the signature edits - we really just felt so catered to - it's like VIP treatment the entire time! After viewing our same day edit, the Best Man whispered to me, "Hooooo, that was the best same day edit I've ever seen." The entire wedding party was in tears. We are just beyond grateful that we got to work with the VIVIDfotos family. They helped us document the best day of our lives in the most beautiful and emotional way. You will not be disappointed.

They were our very first vendor to book in Hawaii! My husband & I are from NYC, and we came to Hawaii a year before our wedding and we booked VividFotos first (even before a reception venue!). Bal's eye for things is truly a gift. He was able to capture such great photographs. To this day we stare at our engagement photos in awe and are eagerly awaiting our wedding photos.

I had a vision on how I wanted my wedding photos to look, and I know that they will always give their 10000%. Thank you so much guys!

We hired Melissa as our photographer for our ceremony on Secret Island and we are very happy with how the photos came out. Her portfolio showed the sort of style we were looking for and she captured some great moments. She was quick to respond to emails and calls and we received our photos 2.5 weeks after our wedding. Thank you!
