Melissa at Belladiva photography was referred to us by our friends with a beach wedding. We saw her that day in action and we knew we wanted to hire her. Working with her was an absolute pleasure; she’s funny and creative – not your typical photographer.
We scheduled Belladiva photography her for two sessions; one before the wedding for couple’s pictures at two different locations, Balboa Park and Coronado Beach. The other session for the wedding day, this included the religious ceremony, happy hour, and reception at the church and hall. Melissa was able to capture all the emotions of both days on all three locations. We cannot praise her work enough. We would recommend her to all our friends. Melissa got our photos done punctually, expeditiously, and professionally. -

We are completely amazed at the quality of Melissa's work. We are a nonprofit that works with homeless families. We hired Melissa to take portraits and candids of families in our program for use in our annual report. The results were stunning, emotional and impactful. We will definitely hire her again for future projects. Her work is outstanding and we highly recommend her. -

My wife and I through every challenge we could think of at Melissa. We booked with her about two months out, our venue was outdoors at Admiral Kidd between 11 and 12 in the morning with the hot sun directly overhead. Melissas ability to work with the elements and limited backdrops was commendable. She was a pleasure to work with and provided exactly what we were looking for in both quality and quantity of photographs. We would highly recommend her for anyones special occasion. -

Melissa was a responsive and reliable professional from the very first call we had. I appreciated this since we were organizing this from long distance. I felt comfortable immediately and that gave me a lot of confidence. I would recommend her for small or large events. -

If there was an ability to rate more stars, I totally would! Melissa is phenomenal and truly an amazing photographer. I am so glad she was recommended to me from one of my good friends.
When I first spoke to Melissa, I was frantic because I was not getting a good vibe from the previous photographer I had lined up. Melissa set a date to meet just a couple of days after our initial conversation. I was so excited that she was ready to meet right away!
We met at Starbucks, and I was so impressed by her positive attitude, PASSION and APPRECIATION for her art. She is very knowledgeable and very easy to talk to.
It's obvious to me that Melissa really cares about all of her clients and seems to go the extra mile to make us all feel special. I felt so relaxed and had a blast with her on the day of our ceremony. She gave me sneak peak photos the NEXT day!!! I also just got my photos and it was exactly one month from our ceremony. The quality of the photos are AMAZING and she really captured memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life.
They say a true love story never ends, and if you go with Melissa, you will have beautiful photo's for a lifetime that capture all the emotions from your special day! I'm so glad she was able to make my fairytale dream wedding come true! -

Melissa was the best thing that happened to my Wedding day. She was super supportive and went ABOVE and beyond to help out in any way shape or form. She researched, used connections, offered to help run the Rehearsal, met with me to scope out places to take pictures, sent adorable gifts, made timelines, ETC. The pictures she takes are both beautiful and natural. We did 2 engagement sessions with her and she shot our wedding photo's... all were perfect. If you are looking for great results, realistic pricing, and someone to help you then Belladiva photography is the way to go. Literally one of the best decisions we ever made. -

Melissa did an awesome engagement and wedding shoot for my hubbie and I - we were so happy with how beautiful the pictures came out as Melissa worked with us to chase the setting sun and find the perfect places and poses for our wedding album. She was super flexible and very responsive as we had our engagement shoot just a few weeks before the big day. Melissa was great to work with providing a fun energy and even incorporated our darling pups into the shoot to capture our everyday life before the wedding day. -

We had our family photo session with Melissa yesterday and had such a great time. She was very professional but yet very personable and fun and was great with my 3 little girls. We will definitely be using BellaDiva photography for all of our future family portrait memory making! Looking forward to our next session Melissa. -

I asked Melissa to take our family pictures while we were vacationing in Oceanside from the dry deserts of Arizona. Booking months before we went from a family of 5 to a multiple family group of 12. Melissa was more than accommodating with a "more the merrier" rapid response. She captured our family of 5 beautifully, as well as my sister-in-laws surprise engagement and our whole families love for the beach! We will treasure our photos for a lifetime and highly recommend BellaDiva Photography to anyone heading to the San Diego area. -

Melissa did an awesome job for our family portraits at the beach. Not only was she professional but she was fun and made us feel comfortable and relaxed and we laughed a lot, which makes for great pictures. She had an artistic eye for the landscape and poses. She is a great value for the quality of work she does. We couldn't have been happier with how the pictures turned out. We would definitely use her again and recommend her to friends. -

Melissa is wonderful! We will never stop saying good things about her and her services. We meet with Melissa about a year before our wedding, an booked with her quickly. She was great, she worked with our ideas and offered her expert advice. She helped work around our busy schedule and we had both awesome engagement photos as well as wonderful wedding photos. She is super easy to talk to and an absolute delight to work with, all of our friends and family loved her too! We will defiantly be booking her again for future family photos. -

Greatest happiest decision I made booking Bella diva Photography for our Engagement session and Wedding !!!! Melissa (Photographer) is AMAZING at what she does! Melissa not only is she very talented but she is also very sweet and thoughtful! When meeting up with her for the first time, not only was she very welcoming, she was very professional and patient! We were in Starbucks for two hours talking,by the time I booked her, I felt she became more of a friend, than a Vendor ;) Melissa really loves what she does and it shows! She goes way beyond your expectations and makes the whole process easy! We also loved that we received ALL our photos and got them very quickly. If you want all your special moments captured, don't hesitate! Bella Diva Photography is the way to go! ;) -

Melissa was a totally awesome photographer. She was one of the few that actually called me back and she had the best prices too. She and her assistant made everyone in our wedding party super comfortable like we were just hanging out with a fun friend for an hour while taking pictures. The pictures came out even better than I could have imagined too. Melissa was really creative with locations, poses, etc. She definitely made me feel like I was getting a unique experience. I look at our engagement and wedding photos often and am very happy we picked her to capture our special day. -

Each time I look at my wedding photos, I can instantly feel the joy of that day. Melissa is a true professional and takes the most beautiful pictures. Her prices are very competitive and her photographs are of the highest quality. She even handled my difficult father with grace. Best of all, she felt like an old friend the moment I spoke with her on the phone. -

I was a last minute bride. Luckily, Melissa was available. We were very appreciative of her flexibility. The pictures came out amazing- my husband and I were approached by the venue and another vendor to utilize our pictures for me marketing materials. My only complaint-There were a lot of forms and contacts to sign and mail. This could be due to the condensed planning and lack of time we had before "the day". Melissa was extremely helpful creating and coordinating our schedule. She playing a somewhat, dual role as our wedding planner. Something we never thought about, that is vital to your day. -
