    Excellent and efficient

    Our experience with Melissa was incredible, she was very good at calmly and proficiently organizing our wild crew, and capturing our special day in all of its glory. I can’t stop looking at the magical photos she took, as they always bring a smile to my face. She was amazingly personable and confident, and a hard worker. For our engagement pics she didn’t hesitate to tromp through mud to get to a more picturesque spot. 10/10 would recommend!

    Wonderful photographer!

    We hired Melissa for our engagement photos, Bridals, and wedding day. All we can say is wow! We had some issues with time on the day of our wedding and we lost a lot of picture time (due to another vendor - NOT Melissa). However, Melissa still captured amazing photos in a much shorter time frame than we planned and still got the shots we wanted. We are so happy with our final pictures, and that we decided to go with For Keeps Photography! She never disappoints!

    Just What We Were Looking For . . .

    After a professional photographer cancelled on us the day before the wedding, we were at a loss. Thankfully, our family member jumped in to take wonderful moment shots throughout our wedding day. We are blessed! On top of that, we sought out Wedding Wire to help us find a reliable photographer to take our wedding formals even though our wedding had already taken place.
    Our photographer was just what we were looking for! On the first day of our meeting each other, she was willing and excited to shoot our session. She arrived early, took us through the traditional poses, added some fun and quirky poses, and made us feel good about this experience overall!
    I will be reaching out to her for more photo sessions in the future! I highly recommend her! We wouldn't have received wedding formal photos if I had not sought out photographers through Wedding Wire. We are so blessed and beyond thankful!

    For Keeps Photography's reply:

    Loved every moment Jamie! I am blessed that you found my business!! Thank you for your kind words!

    Beautiful work!

    Melissa was absolutely amazing!!! When I contacted Melissa, she let my then fiancé and I come over to view her work and have a consultation to discuss what we envisioned. She answered every question we had, and we knew within minutes she was who we wanted to work with. She shot our engagements, my bridals, and our wedding day. She was always easy to get in touch with, she would arrive early to every session, and would contact me a few days prior to confirm any last minute details. Our original wedding date was supposed to be in May 2020, but due to Covid-19 we rescheduled to October and she was more than happy to work with adjusting our plans. We cannot recommend Melissa enough and we cannot wait to use her for future family photos!

    Friendly and Fun!!!

    Melissa was such a joy to work with! Living out of state and having limited dates available in Texas she so graciously accommodated our hectic schedule in order to get our lovely spring-time engagement shoot! We has so much fun shooting with her--giggling through the entire session.

    For Keeps Photography's reply:

    Thank you for your kind words Kendal! I loved meeting You and Jake! Your giggles were the best! Super sweet - Congrats on your upcoming wedding!!

    Amazing Photographer!

    Melissa was incredible! Not only are her photos beautiful but she is so sweet and fun. We booked her before everything got crazy with Covid and she has been so easy to communicate with! We had to change our wedding date once and change bridal portraits date but she made everything easy. We also had a second shooter that was great as well. I can’t wait to get all our wedding photos back! I highly recommended ForKeepsPhotography for your wedding and any special moments!

    Thank you so much Sarah! You have made my day! I L-O-V-E-D capturing your wedding day and bridal session!

    Our special day

    Melissa’s ability to be so calming proved to be so helpful for our special day! She did such an awesome job capturing exactly what we wanted and to not miss any aspect of the day. The final product turned out so good also I love the book she created for us. I chose her for cost and locality to our venue and I would definitely recommend her any day. Always on time and helpful with the best value. Thank you, P & C

    Absolutely wonderful!

    Highly highly recommend!! I don’t think there are enough positive words to describe Melissa! We are so thankful that we found her last minute! She was very sweet and willing to work with our budget. She was quick to respond to emails- which is so nice for a stressed out bride! She did a fantastic job working with the bridal party, groomsmen and our families. She was so relaxed and easy-going throughout the whole day, which made the picture taking process quick, enjoyable and stress free! We received several compliments on her. She was an absolute joy to work with and her pictures are gorgeous! She captured so many beautiful moments that we will be able to cherish forever! We could be happier with the photos that she has provided! She is truly such a beautiful person and talented photographer!

    Not only was Melissa reasonably priced for wedding photography, but she was AMAZING! She captured our wedding day exactly how I imagined it. She was so quick about responding and sending the photos to me that I never had to worry about that part of my wedding. She also did our engagement photos which turned out great! I would highly recommend her to any bride who wants a worry free photo experience. I will treasure out perfect photos forever!

    Perfection!

    We found Melissa as recommended by our venue, and we were thrilled with every aspect of working with her. Quick and helpful responses to any questions before the wedding, and the day of the wedding, she was exceptionally pleasant and professional. And we absolutely love the photos. We are so thankful that we chose For Keeps!

    She is amazing!

    Melissa is an absolute angel and she was more than anything that we could've asked for. I had booked a bridal session with our wedding package, but my dress wasn't ready in time so she was flexible and let us take an engagement session instead. She was so attentive and knew great spots and poses for our wedding day. She seriously takes amazing photos and is a joy to work with. My husband is SO awkward... but with her, everything came so easily when she shot our photos. I will definitely use her in the future for other major events in my life!

    Thank you, you are so sweet! You and Jacob were awesome to work with! Loved every part of your wedding day!!!

    Melissa is absolutely incredible! She is an amazing photographer but also just an all around great person. She was so much fun to work with and was always so professional. She made sure the job got done but was so kind the entire time. Her and her assistant are both really great and we are so thankful that we picked her as our wedding photographer. She made the entire experience so enjoyable! Our pictures are perfect!

    Melissa is an outstanding photographer! I don't know how she did it but she captured all the moments we wanted and more. She was patient with me and all of my questions. She isn't bossy, she calmly got everyone where they needed to be in each photo, which meant a lot to me. She is so affordable too. You won't believe the quality of your photos for this price! You'll love this photographer!

    Melissa is amazing. Planning around rain, other vendor meetings, and holidays to take bridal portraits was stressful, but she was very flexible and accommodating, and the portraits were amazing! Throughout our wedding planning, Melissa was extremely responsive to every email and text, even though I would sometimes take a week to respond on my end. She was open to all our ideas for wedding-day photos, and she and her assistant photographer captured every moment perfectly. Most importantly - the photos are absolutely beautiful. Thanks, ForKeeps!
