    October Wedding

    We used Mel Colvin Photography for our October wedding. Mel did our engagement photos as well. The photos she took were amazing! Mel was flexible, fun and fabulous! 10 out of 10 we would recommend Mel for your photography needs. We plan to book her next year for my son’s senior photos too.

    Nothing Short of Amazing

    Mel was recommended to us by a friend and we are so glad that we chose her! For two people who would rather be behind the camera rather than in front of it, she made us feel so comfortable. She was adaptable to any photos we wanted and even offered to drive further than usual just to accommodate us with our engagement photo location! Her expertise is evident when you look through her catalogue! Response times are quick and even turn around times on the photos exceeded our expectations! We are SO thankful we found her and plan to use her for our photo adventures in the future!

    Excellent Job

    My husband and I got married 10/22/22 down by the water in Bristol. Mel was our choice for both our engagement shoot and our wedding and I am so happy with her work. We love her style and her ability to capture true emotion on both our faces and those of our guests. We signed up for a package with an engagement shoot and a 2nd shooter for 8 hours. Her and her 2nd shooter took many candid photos of guests and after the fact my family spoke highly of how they had never known she was there taking photos and of her professionalism. I recommend Mel to anybody getting married or doing a regular photoshoot. She was even able to crack a smile on my stoic husband :) Just ordered some prints and can't wait for them to come in.

    Amazing!!!!

    If you are looking for the BEST photographer there is- look no further because MEL COLVIN IS IT!!!! My husband and I got married May 2022 and Mel captured our day better than I could have ever imagined. She is the most kind, talented, thoughtful, organized person I have ever met. She made sure she did everything in her power to make sure we felt comfortable and our day was as stress free as possible. We put together a timeline and list of photos we absolutely wanted, to ensure we captured everything and nothing was forgotten or missed on the day of in the middle of everything going on. Her work and editing? ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. I’ve gotten so many compliments on our photos. I could go on for hours raving about Mel!!!! She is just the absolute best in the industry!

    You MUST hire Mel!

    My husband and I got married in Oct 2021 and Mel was the absolute perfect choice for our wedding day. From our first phone consultation, to planning a month or so out, to the actual day she was professional, organized, and a ton of fun to work with. My favorite thing about Mel was her goal was to keep the day as stress free as possible. She did this by helping put together a timeline for the day, as well as a list of all the photos my husband and I wanted taken. When it came to photos she was able to call in the correct groups and got it done in no time. We recently got our photos back and they are perfect! Everything is exactly what I had hoped for and more. Her editing enhanced the colors of the photos and everyone looks amazing. I would highly recommend hiring Mel for your wedding as she was so much fun to work with!

    5 Stars does Mel no justice. She is beyond measure!

    Mel was my wedding photographer through three cancelled covid dates. We finally were married on September 25th. The customer service with Mel is rivaled by her amazing photographic eye. My biggest problem now is that I want to have prints of ALL of my photos - ALL of them. She has made it virtually impossible to narrow down! From getting ready to end these photos are pure MAGIC! I have to say I am very hard to please with my photos, I am critical of myself and just a tough critic on poses etc. If she can MORE than please me CONSISTENLY from Engagement Portraits to Family Portraits to Wedding photos - trust me she is unmatched!
    Her spirit is who you want around you always never mind the day of and that to me is just as important as the prints. She was not just my photographer she was part of my day and really our story. You can't put a price or give a number of stars for that.. that, is priceless. She is, simply put, THE BEST.

    Amazing photos, amazing experience

    My husband and I heard about Mel through many different friends and family members who highly recommended her. After looking at photos both on her Instagram and on her website, we knew right away we had to book her for our own wedding. She is, hands down, one of the best decisions we made while planning our wedding. Mel was super responsive, flexible, friendly and incredibly easy and fun to work with. My husband and I will cherish our photos forever. We cannot recommend Mel enough for your big day!

    AMAZING!! The best wedding photographer we could have asked for.

    Mel and her assistant were absolutely amazing and our pictures from the wedding were absolutely beautiful and captured so many moments that we will cherish forever. We laughed, and we cried just looking at the pictures bringing back so many special moments and seeing so much emotion And LOVE in every picture. A picture is worth a thousand words is so true, and Mel just nailed it!!! I can't say enough, but trust me she is the best you will not regret booking her for any of your needs.

    Amazing photographer❤️

    My husband and I got married in May 2021 and could not have asked for anyone better to have captured our special day! We were working with Mel before COVID and even with all the stress of changing our wedding date 3 times AND changing our venue she made the process so smooth. On top of that she was EXTREMELY responsive, answering calls, texts and emails. On the day of the wedding she was amazing as well as her assistant! They totally made the process go by efficiently and we didn’t miss a shot. Even with some bumps in the road on the big day Mel and her team kept their cool which in turn gave us peace of mind. The gallery we received was absolutely EXTRAORDINARY - we cannot thank you enough Mel for putting our lifetime of memories into physical pictures! Much love - The Lydon’s❤️

    Absolutely amazing

    Mel was an absolute PLEASURE to work with for my wedding this past November. Her business came highly recommended from a work colleague who had also used her wedding photography services and I am so so glad that were able to book with her. Mel is incredible easy to work with. She has great presence, is very fun and easy going and extremely professional. I've followed her instagram page and her facebook photography page and I love how she interacts with her clients and posts updates on her beautiful work.
    When we had to change up our whole wedding due to Covid, Mel was very responsive and again so easy to work with. She made the entire process of switching venues effortless. You will absolutely not regret having Mel or her team with you on your special day or any day. Also, shoutout to Mel's assistant who was also a pleasure to work with. She was very friendly and easy going and the two together made for a great pair.
    Beyond Mel being a great person and someone you would be happy to have with you on your special day, she takes AMAZING photos. I was in love with our engagement photos so I knew our wedding photos would also be great, but I was in shock. They were so so beautiful!!! She knows exactly how to capture the light, make poses seem natural and effortless and find the perfect backdrops. I mean the photos were absolutely stunning, I don't have words for how great they turned out!! Im in love. I have already recommended her services to my close friends and will definitely plan on using her in the future for any family or maternity portraits and shoots without any hesitation. Please head to her page to review her gorgeous work and book a meeting to meet this lovely star in person, you won't regret it. 10/10 !!!

    Amazing experience!!!

    Working with Mel was a truly magical experience. She is professional, flexible, understanding, kind, and firm when she needs to be! She was nothing but understanding when I forgot about our engagement photo session and had to reschedule day of. She worked with us through COVID and changed our package as needed throughout the whole experience. She was one person I knew I could count on throughout the wedding planning process. Being a COVID bride was one of the more stressful times in my life, and Mel helped me not only get through it, but enjoy it. I cannot thank her enough. She is truly one of a kind. Also, forgot to mention the photos were like nothing I had ever seen before! They were the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen! She caught the most precious moments that were not planned, like when my husband popped the champagne and I jumped out of my boots! And now we will never forget those small moments because of the picture she was able to capture!

    Helped Make a CRAZY Wedding Day Memorable

    From the minute my husband and I met with Mel we felt like old friends. She was warm and genuine and she took the time to get to know US. She was wonderful to work with, flexible, honest and caring. Our wedding day was a day full of "anything that can go wrong, will go wrong" and Mel didn't waiver. She stayed calm, kept me calm and was right by my side (Along with her wonderfully sweet assistant Amy) helping me with anything I needed. She entertained all of the fun and crazy shots that I insisted on getting and even caught a few of her own. Our family and friends at our wedding said it best, "They felt like family guests at the wedding and made us all feel comfortable." I would and have recommended Mel to family and friends. We love her.

    Excellent!

    Mel is fabulous! She was the photographer for our wedding in October 2019 and we couldn't have asked for anyone better. She is attentive, responsive, organized, detail oriented, and a pleasure to work with. She made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera and had a great time wrangling the children in our wedding party (three kids under the age of 8!). Mel provided us with a teaser of our wedding pictures less than a week after the wedding and the teaser included more than 20 pictures! And they are stunning! We recommend Mel highly and will use her every single time we need a photographer. Thank you Mel!!

    Mel is the Best!

    Mel is an incredibly talented photographer! She captured moments between myself and my husband that took our breath away. Right from the beginning she was so easy to get along with and really wanted to get to know us as a couple. She was totally open to our ideas which included an engagement photo shoot on ice! Throughout the shoot she helped us relax and feel comfortable in front of the camera. Leading up to our wedding day she was always available to answer questions for us. We met up to create a photo shot list before the wedding day so we had a timeline for things. We both have large families and she was able to get our formal photos done in record time. Mel also had a second shooter with her to make sure she captured all the moments during our wedding. We had tons of fun mario karting around to different spots at our venue to take pictures of my husband and I before cocktail hour. Through out the night Mel caught beautiful moments and we especially loved our night shots! We can't say enough about Mel and know we will treasure all the photos she captured for the rest of our lives! Greg and I will definitely be going to Mel Colvin Photography for all our future photo needs!

    Breathtaking photos!

    Mel is super personable, friendly, kind, and professional. She really gets to know her clients in order to make them feel comfortable. Mel has a special talent for capturing the essence of the couple or family she is photographing and it is very apparent she loves what she does. I would highly reccommend Mel to document your special occasions and portraits! She is the real deal and you won’t regret hiring her!

    Mother of the bride

    If your looking for an outstanding photographer, Mel Colvin is it. She and her assistant captured the essence of the bride and grooms love and the photos that we got were absolutely breathtaking. She did get some very unique pictures and it was all done beautifully. I couldn’t be more pleased with her work from beginning to end. You will not regret hiring her.

    Mel is magic!

    Mel photographed our wedding at Southwick's Zoo in August of 2018 and our photos are so dreamy. We were lucky enough to get married on a beautiful sunny day, but the way she captured that sunlight in every photo was just breathtaking. Personally, I hate having my photo taken, but she makes it such a fun and relaxing experience, I didn't mind at all. We shared a ton of laughs, particularly when a sassy ostrich tried to bite my husband! On a personal note, Mel is one of the warmest and kindest people you will ever meet. She is super accommodating and was more than willing to work with us when we had to reschedule our original wedding date. We'll be calling Mel for all our our future photography needs!

    Absolutely Amazing!

    Mel recently took the photos for our wedding and wow, what a dream she was to work with! Not only was she extremely professional during the day, she also was SO wonderful at keeping a nervous bride calm. Her creative eye took our wedding photos to a new level of gorgeous. She exceeded our expectations and words do not do enough justice! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, talented photographer.

    Mel was a complete dream to work with from beginning to end! She’s kind, patient, and her vision for capturing the perfect shot is top notch!! I couldn’t be happier with our photos from our wedding day! I was worried since it rained a little but Mel took that and ran with it and the outcome was some of the most GORGEOUS photos I’ve ever seen! My husband even said if we ever move away and need photos done, we are flying Mel out to us!! Thank you Mel we love you!

    Mel was absolutely wonderful to work with during our wedding this past July! She was always so calm, positive, and joyful during our planning and especially on our wedding day! Mel arrived on time with her second shooter and they immediately got to work capturing the day! Both she and her second shooter were never intrusive, but were always there capturing beautiful moments that I didn't even remember happening! We just received our photographs today and they are absolutely STUNNING!Her work honestly does speak for itself! I couldn't be more grateful for the opportunity to work with Mel during our wedding. She's incredible at her job and truly loves her clients. I would highly recommend her to capture any of your life's precious moments!!

    Mel is amazing! She was super personable at our initial meetings. As for the wedding day itself, she just gets it -- she can tailor her approach on the wedding day to what the wedding party needs. The course of the evening went slightly differently than planned in terms of timing (it really does fly by!) but she remained flexible and made sure we had all of the pictures we needed.

    Mel was a nice calming presence and made us feel like a million bucks. According to our sneak preview pictures, she also made us LOOK like a million bucks! Would recommend her to anyone!! It was also nice that she had an assistant photographer to make sure to capture all the shots that she needed.

    I was the happiest bride to have her capturing our big day.

    There are no words to describe how awesome Mel is. We booked her extremely late as far as wedding photographers go. But she was awesome and flexible with us and we were able to find everything we needed with her. We were so excited and looking forward to our wedding day when the worst imaginable thing happened. We lost both my mother and one of my best friends who would've been a groomsman in our wedding the month before we got married. Needless to say for the month leading up to our wedding day and even that day it was just a matter of getting it over with. We weren't looking forward to it with the same excitement that we were before. The people we surrounded ourselves with that day, including Mel and her assistant photographer were able to change our outlook. We were able to enjoy our day even though we were grieving and that is truly due to all of the awesome people that were there. Mel and her assistant photographer were professional, friendly, and just all-around awesome. They definitely helped make our day extra special and for that we are forever grateful. You don't need to look any further if you're on MelColvinphotography.com you have found your wedding photographer, you can stop now. Trust me.

    Mel couldn't be sweeter! She made us feel so comfortable. The pictures she took came out better than I dramed they would. She is always positive and gets back to me within a day of contact. She's original and most importantly genuine! I can't wait to see what she has in store for our wedding!

    After meeting with a few photographers we were worried we would have to settle for someone we weren't comfortable with, until we met Mel. Right away we knew she was the best choice for us. She went above and beyond from the very first meeting through the engagement session and wedding to help us make decisions about what moments we wanted to capture. Now, because of Mel, we will always have amazing pictures to remember how great the day was.

    So I don't even know where to begin! I've been waiting to write Mel a review since I met her, but I wanted to wait till our engagement photos, and then again till our wedding photos! So to start when I first went to meet Mel and have our first meeting I LOVED her! She answered all of my questions, showed me her work and made me feel so comfortable I left there feeling 100% confident she would capture every special moment of our wedding day! After we had our engagement photos with her that just assured me again our wedding photos would be amazing, because our engagement photos came out so perfect they were just what we wanted and as a bonus she made us look awesome and very comfortable, I loved how she told us what poses to do and kept the session running smoothly. She also was very accommodating on having an online gallery with select photos ready for me in time for me to order our invitations. And now to bring you to our wedding day, it went so smoothly having Mel and her assistant capture every moment of our wedding. The day went by so fast but having them there capturing it I was so confident in them getting all the shots for us to remember. Mel showed up on time where us girls were getting ready and dealt with the craziness of us running around finishing getting ready and she also was so great taking all of our formal photos and being so patient with my big family and young kids in them. I am so grateful for her and how great she was! And we love love our photos so far from her sneak peek and cannot wait to see the rest!! Thank you so much Mel!?

    Mel is an absolute DOLL. We booked her for our wedding in July and our engagement shoot was so amazing and FUN! We have so many candid photos to choose from (I used two on my save the dates from minted). Her bubbly, smiling personality makes you feel comfortable. Professional to the max, we met for lunch in Cumberland to go over package options and she responded right away to messages. I cannot wait for our big day! Mel is hands down the most genuine, creative wedding photographer out there!

    Mel is such an amazing person! My husband and I had a hard time finding a location to take photos for our wedding. She met with us at different locations and was very patient with us. On our wedding day she captured every moment beautifully. We decided to take our photos at a friends farm. The pictures came out gorgeous. Mel was patient with the little ones and the many people who were at the farm that day. She is simply the best and the most energetic photographer ever! I would recommend her to anyone for any occasion!

    I can not say enough good things about Mel. She is everything you could ask for in a photographer, and more. She photographed our surprise proposal and followed me and my sister/best friend on a day-long trek throughout the state and yet not one of the pictures looks repetitious, or dull. Every photo so perfectly captures exactly what I was feeling in each and every moment. To be honest, I see some wedding/engagement photos online that make me cringe from awkwardness, but she made it SO easy and natural. They really are perfect snapshots of the day. Mel's photos are the ones I want hanging in every room in my house.

    I loved Mel! I can't say enough good things about her. I met Mel at a friends wedding and immediately fell in love with her and had to book her when I got engaged. She hung out with us for most of the day in Boston for the shoot and instantly became our friend! Our photos came out gorgeous and she did an even better job for the wedding. The best money I ever spent!

    When I got engaged and started to plan for my wedding, there was one thing that I knew I needed-gorgeous photos! I was so overwhelmed researching different photographers and trying to find someone with the style I was looking for without spending a fortune. I stumbled upon Mel from a best friend of mine. My fiancé and I quickly knew after meeting with Mel that she was the one. She made us feel so comfortable with her down to earth, friendly personality and her pictures were out of this world (and just what I was looking for). I could not be more pleased with how our engagement photos came out and how easy Mel was to work with. I am so excited for Mel to also capture our big day and many future events to come!

    When we began our search for a photographer, I didn't know where to start. I knew we wanted two shooters, great editing, and needed to stay within our budget. I saw a friends picture online and LOVED the image then found out it was Mel! I stalked her page and immediately made a consultation. From the first call, I felt at ease and my fiancé felt the same way! We loved her sparkly personality and her creative work is out of this world!!
    During our engagement pictures, it was important for us to have our dogs there and Mel didn't think twice. Friends and family couldn't believe how well behaved they were and the truth is, they weren't! She was just able to capture our little family so prefectly!! I could go on and on about her but just take a look at her work and it speaks for itself!!!

    We found Mel while trying to get some engagement photos done. Her portfolio looked great, and she was amazingly priced. After the engagement photo shoot went so well we had her do the wedding as well! She also had a very nice assistant at the wedding who was great as well! (I forgot her name and feel awful about that).

    Mel was funny, sweet, and professional. She didn't even yell at us for putting up this review so late! If we ever need professional photos done in the future Mel will be our first call no doubt!

    I knew I wanted to book with Mel from the moment I got engaged. I was acquainted with her and started following her work and I loved her style. We were delighted she was available for our wedding date.
    Me did not disappoint! She was professional, friendly, and a joy the night of the wedding. We also really loved her second shooter, Amy. They were a great team, and guests were complimenting us on how awesome they were. When she posted a photo teaser a few days later, I was overjoyed: the photos were amazing! To top it off, we received all of our photos sooner than I anticipated (and on a bad day so it was a very pleasant surprise!) and we just love them. You will not be disappointed if you book with Mel!!

    Mel absolutely deserves more than 5 stars. From the very beginning she was interested in getting to know us and who we are as a couple. She captured every moment of our Wedding day perfectly; whether that was laughs, smiles, or happy tears. Mel is amazing, she was so fun yet professional, and she made my day stress free; she even had a list of my must have formal pictures so when the day came there was no scrambling. My Husband and I were so comfortable with Mel and her assistant, we had so much fun!

    Mel was absolutely incredible. She was incredibly flexible in meeting with my husband and I who have busy work schedules. She was very responsive to all of our needs and questions. She gave us great ideas for ideas for our family formals. She was professional and on top of everything all the way up to the day of wedding. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer. It was an easy truly carefree experience which was so important with everything that a bride has to deal with on her wedding day. The photos were wonderful and took my breath away. I couldn't recommend her more for all of your photography needs. She is an incredible photographer and person.

    I cannot say enough about Mel! From the very beginning, Mel was always super responsive and accommodating. She was always quick to reply to any questions I had, and more than willing to work with us to be sure we got exactly what we were looking for! On our June wedding day, her assistant and her were super organized (and calming! ) and made sure she got the shots we had wanted and more - and they came out GORGEOUS! We had a wonderful experience from start to finish, and we have such beautiful photos of our special day! Definitely recommend!

    I can't believe I haven't wrote a review yet! Where to begin with Mel? Honestly, she is one of the most fun people I have ever had the opportunity to work with and she truly makes you feel so comfortable. I met her at a small bridal expo a little over a year ago now, and knew from that point she was the girl who would shoot my wedding. My fiancé and I set an appointment with her pretty quickly after that and we started making some magic happen. We have since shot our engagement photos with her (it was me and my fiancé's first time getting professional photos done) and it was a great experience! Although it can be awkward to stare and your significant other for long periods of time without laughing, Mel made it so painless and enjoyable. Her work speaks for itself but if you want a photographer who not only does great work but is also a blast to be around, Mel is your gal! You will not be disappointed!

    Mel was the first photographer we met with and we knew immediately that we wanted to work with her. She is professional, talented and very personable. She is flexible and easy to work with. She definitely put me at ease on the day of the wedding and I felt very comfortable in front of the camera. I couldn't be happier with how the pictures came out!

    Best decision! Mel Colvin's work is artistic and classic!!! We would certainly recommend her to others one thousand times over!!!

    Mel made it all happen! She was very accommodating to our schedule, which was quite quick. She was flexible with hours and easily reached for adjustments/changes. She certainly made our day picture perfect and she captured it all for us to look back at years to come! She was a dream to work with and made everyone feel comfortable. Thank you Mel for making our day so special!

    Working with Mel was such a pleasure! From our first meeting to the day of the wedding she made us feel totally relaxed about the whole process. She is super responsive, professional, and so easy to talk to. During what can be such a stressful time I can honestly say that we never once worried about the photography. Our wedding photos are just stunning; uniquely beautiful and stylized. We would absolutely recommend Mel to anyone looking for an amazing photographer!

    Mel is a doll! Aside from being an amazing photographer, she is so friendly and easy to work with. She is extremely responsive to any emails or calls, and makes sure she gets the pictures you want. Mel has an eye for catching the small details, and is so quick with her camera that she got some of the coolest shots I've ever seen!

    Mel is absolutely amazing and I'm so grateful for the recommendation to use her. Her personality makes you feel at ease immediately. Everyone loved my engagement and wedding photos and commented how they didn't even realize that she was there. Her super ninja skills made for some awesome candid shots. She is officially my photographer for life!

    As soon as we got engaged, after booking our venue my next call was to Mel. I knew I wanted her as our wedding photographer. I’ve known Mel since grade school and had been following her work and she is fabulous! She was willing to travel for our wedding and was completely prepared for everything. Mel and her assistant, Sara, were so helpful and patient and really helped the day run smoothly. When I got the email that my photos were ready I could not believe how quickly they were finished! All of the photos are so beautiful, Mel truly does amazing work!! I cannot say enough good things about Mel, I highly recommend working with her!

    Mel is an amazing person, as well as an amazing photographer! She makes the process so easy, from helping you chose the package right for your special event, to getting the perfect shots that you will have forever to remember your special day. Mel is an easy person to talk to and makes you excited that she is sharing in your wedding! She is also very flexible when it comes to meeting to take about the big day, due to being out of state, she was even availible to skype with my husband and I to talk about the photos we wanted. Mel is also very thorough, about getting all the details correct and making the shots you want, happen.

    My fiance and I won a free engagement shoot with Mel Colvin Photography at a wedding expo we attended over the summer. We didn't know what to expect going into the shoot but came away being so impressed by Mel. Mel was so accommodating from the very start, from recommending the time of year to get the best foliage pictures to dealing with my indecisiveness when I changed dates and locations. She went above and beyond for us and wasn't even getting paid! My fiance and I aren't very comfortable in front of the camera but Mel made us feel very relaxed and at ease. The teasers we received that night were so gorgeous, we couldn't wait to see the rest. Her turn around time was so quick and we were not disappointed! It was so hard to pick a favorite because all of the pictures came out so beautiful! We used a couple of the photos for our 2014 Christmas card and I have received so many compliments on the beautiful pictures. I highly recommend Mel Colvin Photography for any big life event you'd like photographed. She is a true talent!

    I loved working with Mel Colvin Photography! Mel was patient and accommodating throughout the planning process and the day of the wedding. Mel made us feel comfortable the day of, especially my husband who was a little hesitant to be in front of a camera. It made our wedding that much more enjoyable and it shows in our photos. The photos are absolutely beautiful. Mel achieved exactly what we were envisioning. I would--and have--confidently recommended her to friends and family, knowing they will be just as happy.

    Mel did such a great job taking photos for our wedding. She and a second photographer snapped fun shots of the bridal party at the carousel in Slater Park and really beautiful formal photos of my husband and I with our family. I especially loved one picture in particular of the two of us with all the guests gathered on the steps of the church for one GIANT group shot! So fun to have memories like that captured on film. I would definitely recommend Mel Colvin for your wedding day photographer!

    My husband and I got married at harbor lights in warwick on 10.19.14. It was a perfect day. We had Mel as our photographer and she was great. My husband was the one who found Mel. She went into my husbands work and he came home with her business card and said "I met a photographer today" maybe we should give her a call. I checked out her website and instantly was hooked and down for a meeting. My favorite thing was she just seemed normal, like someone I could hang out with, not stuffy or boring and I instantly was at ease. Then we met and knew immediately that this was the exact person we were looking for!!! One thing I was very adamant about was having an awesome photographer because the pictures last forever. Not only was she very fun and happy but her pricing was very fair. We just got out pictures back and they are beautiful. Mel was very easy to work with and had some great ideas for pictures plus she was open to what I wanted for picture ideas. I was worried about finding a photographer that my husband and I "meshed well" with and we got that with Mel and her assistant. Overall I could not have asked for a better photographer to capture my perfect day. She got all of the getting ready shots, the flowers, jewelry, shoes everything. She also took tons of the ceremony, pictures with my husband and our puppy :) (she likes dogs and that's 100% good in my book) a lot of outside pics of the families, tons of shots inside and beautiful pics at perfect angles of my husband and I. I cannot wait to book again with Mel for my maternity shoot and then family photos.

    Mel Colvin Photography is absolutely AWESOME! I highly highly recommend Mel as an engagement photographer, which is what me and my fiancé hired her for. She's also going to be doing our wedding, although that's not until next year.

    After our original photographer fell through, Mel responded to my "emergency" text within seconds and was very excited about filling in. I loved the look of the photos on her website and decided to take a chance on her...something I definitely don't regret! She was friendly, bubbly, and just such a joy to spend time with. We had tons of laughs, and she spent over 2 hours with us taking photos. She was game for anything and had lots of good poses for us that helped us look nice even though we're both overweight. I had a blast at the shoot and loved that she was able to post a sneak peek of the edited photos on Facebook the next day!

    Her pricing is extremely fair, especially considering her impeccable quality and professional personality, and it was an easy decision to re-hire Mel for our wedding as well. I have been extremely satisfied with the results of our engagement photoshoot and can't wait to work with her again. So far, she has been extremely helpful and engaged, spending lots of time doing research for our shoot and even helping me find a videographer for my wedding. I could not recommend her services more highly!

    Mel did our engagement photos for our wedding and they came out amazing! I could not have been more happy with the final product; even everyone who saw the photos had nothing but great things to say. My husband and I had a very rustic/country themed wedding and we wanted our engagement pictures to reflect this theme. While we knew what theme we wanted, we did not have a place in mind on where to go for the actual pictures. Mel found this amazing barn/farm for us to go to that we never would have found on our own. I would recommend Mel Colvin Photography to anyone and I look forward to working with her again!

    Mel is so great at what she does - true talent and an amazing personality. Mel was organized, prepared with great ideas, professional, and not pushy. She was able to create such a relaxed environment so the whole bridal party felt at ease. She was unobtrusive and able to capture amazing candid loving moments. Great value, great quality! I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer! I look forward to working with her again!

    Mel photographed our wedding 4/9/16! I cannot recommend her enough!!! Mel really takes the time to get to know you as a couple from the very first meeting, which helps her do an amazing job! She spent a lot of time with us at our planning meetings to ensure that she could capture all the specific photos that we wanted! She is very calm and comforting, which helps with the nervousness of a wedding and wedding planning!
    She went above and beyond, posting a sneak peak the day after our wedding! The sneak peak photos are BEAUTIFUL!!!! She also submitted one of our photos to the Huffington post, and it got chosen to be in an article!!! Thank you so much, Mel! We loved working with you!
