The BEST photos ever!

The experience we have had working with Melissa and her husband has been wonderful. I cannot thank them enough! Not only have our photos come out AMAZING, but they have gone above and beyond. From our engagement shoot in the Marin headlands, to our elopement in SF, the photos are incredible! Melissa has scoped out each location, told us when the best time of day will be to get the best shots, and she does not disappoint. We are so grateful for them and I'm so thrilled that we are able to work with them again in July!

Organized and professional from start to finish & the result was both creative and beautiful

Melissa took great care in making our day seamless & all about living into the moment. She was super prepared in the planning - making sure we were on board with ideas for where we could take photos, timing for her arrival and how to organize costume changes. She arrived early, provided amazing enthusiasm, love & focus and captured incredible shots. We are so glad to have worked with her!

Exceptional Service Led to a Wonderful Day

Melissa with Whiskey and Champagne is a wonderful photographer. We hired her for our engagement photos which turned out stunningly, then again for our wedding. She's so good at capturing the moment and finding great spots so it looks like you're the only ones around. The style we asked for was absolutely delivered. Her eye gives those moments life... enabling us to relive those feelings again immediately. She went above and beyond with us, helping with things that she didn't have to help with. It felt like we were all on a team, and I loved that on such an important day. We will definitely hire her again and recommend anyone else who wants amazing moments captured, to reach out.

Melissa rocked it!

Melissa was one of the first vendors we booked for our wine country wedding and she did not disappoint! Melissa was incredibly responsive, working with me from day one to co-create a timeline to ensure we captured all the important moments as well as our planner. Day of Melissa was direct, kind and a great energy to have with us. Our families can be a lot to wrangle and she effortlessly kept the order with a smile on her face. To our excitement she quickly turned around a sneak peak as well as all of our photos. They exceeded our expectations, captured so many candid moments and we'd love to work with her in the future!

It's like being photographed by a talented friend

We are so lucky we found Melissa to be our wedding photographer. She is super friendly, easygoing and has an infectious love for love! Both my husband and I are not big into posing for photos and Melissa made it easy for us, by just capturing the moments as they happened. Even our couples-wedding shoot felt natural and the results are outstanding. I can't recommend Melissa enough. We may have met as photographer and to-be bride & groom, but I feel like I also found a friend, who will be invited to all our special occasions to partake and capture the memorable moments!

Excellent in every way

Melissa is a total star. We are so pleased with the photographs from our wedding and the experience we had working with her.

At our wedding she was always close at hand when we wanted a photo but never in the way when we wanted to enjoy ourselves. When we were working with her for photos she was creative, quick and kind.

I recommend her without hesitation.

Do yourself a favor and hire Melissa!

I am so impressed with Whiskey and Champagne Photography. I hired Melissa for my recent wedding and she delivered such beautiful photos that captured not only the moments but the essence of our relationship. I was astounded.
She arrived right on time, was extremely organized and knew just how to get the perfect shot. She delivered great value and had our photos to us the next day. Do yourself a favor and cross this task off your list. Hire Melissa right away! I'm so fortunate to have received her immense talent.

Easy Going, Fun Photographers and Spectacular Photos!

Before we even decided upon our wedding venue, I knew Melissa of Whiskey & Champagne would be our photographer! She has the ideal eye to capture candid moments and magical memories through her lens. Always upbeat and ready to please, Melissa made all our guests and the wedding party feel at ease and joyful in front of the camera! There isn’t a week that goes by that we don’t look through our wedding album. Melissa’s photographs recount our day of love in every beautiful and blissful way.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
