If I could select 10 stars, I would! Melissa is an incredibly talented, experienced, and special photographer and person. Booking her for our wedding was the absolute best decision we could have made. She makes such an effort to get know you and your significant other during the wedding planning process, and in the end she becomes a dear friend. She is such a pro when it comes to her craft - she captures all the right moments in all the best ways, gives you a ton of direction so that you look your absolute best and most authentic, and makes you feel extremely comfortable and supported. Both our engagement shoot and wedding photo albums absolutely blew me away. I cannot recommend her ENOUGH! We love Melissa!!

A DREAM! The best there is!
I knew from our first call that Melissa was the photographer for me! During our first consult we talked for over an hour. I love her photo and her eye to detail but love her personality more. Melissa is professional, knows when to get people to pay attention but is warm hearted and looks for the special details to make your day the best that it can be. We didn't do an engagement shoot but were able to get dinner with her a few days before our wedding which made the day that much easier; it's like shooting photos with an old friend. With a massive group (8 groomsman, 4 ushers, 6 bridesmaids) and a lot of family photo requests, she was able to keep everything moving... even though I was over an hour behind with hair and makeup.
Melissa turned our photos on a dime and I forever thankful for this. We had our photos within 3 weeks and 2 weeks later, we lost my mother-in-law. During our time with her, we went through all the photos, marked some of her favorites and had them printed to be in her room so she could be surrounded by our special day.
I will forever be thankful for Melissa and our photos and would recommend her to anyone and everyone!

Amazing Photographer!!
Melissa is the best photographer around. We booked her early on because we loved her style and after a phone consult, could tell that her personality was so great! We had a perfect engagement session with her where she got to know both of us (and our pup). She created an efficient timeline for us on wedding day and worked so well with the wedding party and family to get all the shots we wanted. Literally the night of our wedding she was sending us sneak peeks of the photos! We also got our wedding photos back SO fast after the wedding (3 weeks - I’m serious)! The photos turned out amazing, she captured us and our day in such a natural, genuine style.
I’d highly recommend Melissa for any photography needs. I’ve had so many people ask for her contact info because they loved her style and our photos. She is an amazing photographer and also an amazing person!

The photos came out absolutely stunning! I love them all so much! We are so grateful for Melissa for capturing these precious moments and bringing her expertise to our special day. She made things so easy and came through for us in more ways than one. No one had to think twice about what to do next. We appreciate Melissa and her amazing attention to detail. I can’t imagine, and don’t want to imagine, what it would have been like without her there. She is truly amazing and I would highly recommend her!

Amazing wedding photographer!
Melissa is absolutely amazing!! She photographed our wedding this summer and totally killed it. Our photos were exactly what we wanted and it was awesome having her play an integral part in documenting the occasion. Melissa is full of energy and goes out of her way to make sure she documents everything!… and the results were stunning!! She allows the images to be filled with natural light and colors, and doesn’t add crazy filters to skew them- although I’m sure she would if you wanted her to; she’s very easy to work with and strives to make your vision a reality.
Melissa Babasin Photography's reply:

Amazing photographer!
My husband and I have worked with Melissa Babasin for a couple of events now, and we cannot recommend her highly enough!
Melissa is incredibly professional and friendly: she takes the time to get to know you personally and to really nail down exactly what you do and don’t want for your photos. She makes sure you get the loveliest shots from any venue, and she has a great eye for light and composition. Melissa takes advantage of every moment to get candids and tiny details you’d never even think of, and those will end up being some of your most treasured mementos. I wasn’t worried for a second about photos during my big day because I had such total faith that Melissa was on top of it!
Melissa Babasin Photography's reply:
Thank you so much Hannah! I’m so grateful we became friends in this process and that I was whew lucky one to document your wedding in 2021 & wedding reception in 2022! Both were just perfect! ❤️

Melissa is AMAZING!!
Melissa is AMAZING! We are so so grateful we hired her to document our wedding. She is so talented! She has a way of working with light and capturing the emotion of your special moments that creates beautiful photographs. We cherish the photos we have from our wedding and engagement session and I’m sure will use her many more times to document family moments. Melissa is also kind, flexible and organized. She really took the time to get to know us as a couple, our story and our families. That type of care really shows in how she documents an event. You can tell this is her passion and the couples and families she works with are more than just clients. We had lots of twists and turns in our wedding planning journey including needing to reschedule our original date due for the pandemic. She was so flexible and understanding through all of it. We had both Hindu and Christian ceremonies on our wedding day to honor both of our religious and cultural backgrounds. With a packed day some things got turned around with the schedule and Melissa jumped into an impromptu coordinator, working with other vendors to make sure to adjust and adapt. I can’t recommend Melissa highly enough to document special family moments. Oh and she and her husband also do amazing video work as well—they created the sweetest highlight video that really captures our special day!

Can not say enough good things about Melissa
If you're looking for a photographer, look no further! Melissa is amazing! We won her giveaway for our covid wedding/elopement. Not only were the photos beautiful, she was so helpful. She was easy to work with, great communication, and gave good direction to help with posing. But not only did she help with posing, she helped with bustling my gown, lacing up my corset, and helped my husband and his mom pin his boutonniere. Melissa was able to capture the day so beautifully and get those real and raw emotions. My aunt in another state wanted to be here with us, but couldn't due to the pandemic, but because of the photos Melissa took, she said she felt like she was right here celebrating with us. Really I can not say enough good things about Melissa. If we didn't already have a photographer contracted for our big wedding next year, I would book Melissa in a heartbeat!

Wedding & Engagement Photos
We hired Melissa for our engagement photos (sunrise in Seattle, WA) and for our wedding in Winters, CA. From the first meeting with her, we felt comfortable with her. She easily made us laugh and convinced us that we would be in good hands at our wedding. I love every single photo she has delivered to us (which is TONS!). Most of all, I am so amazed and thankful by how many small meaningful details she caught of our wedding (many of which I didn't have time to appreciate on the day of because it was so busy). Like our 2 year old nephew eating a giant chicken tender (he is such a big eater!) and my brother lovingly patting my husbands arm right as he began walking down the aisle. Not to mention all the fabulous family portraits of my 40+ member family. I cannot thank her enough and I am so glad she was there to make sure the best day of our lives was captured forever!

More than I ever expected!!!!
As a bride, everything can be stressfully, especially when the weather doesn’t cooperate and then when you have a big family that needs to be gathered. Melissa made me feel at ease like everything was taken care of and going to be beautiful no matter what... she also was just the right amount of bossy to get my big family together and get all the family shots done. Her artistic ability to capture the photos of the entire day have blown me away! My husband and I feel like we relived our wedding day through her photography. I will definitely use Melissa for maternity and family photos, I feel like I gained a friend and I already miss her! I cannot day enough except to have her capture your special day!!!!

Best photographer you will find!
We hired Melissa purely off of recommendations from friends that have used her and we are so glad we did. Our wedding pictures are simply amazing. Melissa captured the feel of our day perfectly. Her calming spirit put me completely at ease, I knew she had everything under control and I didn't need to worry about a thing. Although our ceremony and reception were in the same venue, she found ways to make our pictures so unique. Many of our friends and family have told us these are the best wedding pictures they've ever seen! I will definitely be using Melissa Babasin again in the future!

Melissa Babasin: Professional, Personable, Intentional, and All-Out Amazing
Melissa was absolutely amazing! Knowing that she and her assistant would be there on my wedding day was very comforting during the planning process. She made a point to get to know me and my husband and was the most pleasant vendor I worked with. She knows which pictures are important for most people and makes sure she knows which pictures are important to you months in advance. I didn't have to worry about photography or videography at all on my wedding day. Melissa did our wedding photography and videography and got us back all of the finished products in just 3 weeks. I highly recommend Melissa Babasin Photography.

Melissa was highly recommended by a friend of mine, and we couldn't have been happier that we chose her to photograph our wedding. She was extremely friendly, responsive, and professional from the very beginning. Leading up to the wedding, Melissa answered our hundreds of questions, was flexible, and put together a schedule that worked with our needs. On the day of the wedding, Melissa was early to the job, organized, knew exactly what to do and how to help, and was so kind with everyone. The photographs are unreal and truly exceeded our expectations! We loved working with Melissa and will ask her to document more of our family events in the future!

My wedding was on 9/14/2018 and I got my pictures plus video in less than two weeks! Her husband, Aram, is also amazing. We love our pictures and have watched our video several times now. I am certain that our wedding could not have been captured better by anyone else :)

In a word, Melissa is outstanding! She is so easy to talk to and felt more like a friend than the photographer we simply hired. Group shots were super smooth and efficient, then individual shots were a blast full of genuine smiles. Throughout the day Melissa brought energy and enthusiasm and was able to capture the vision and feel that we wanted for our wedding photos.

Amazing experience, video and pictures!!
Having Melissa, and her husband Aram, shoot our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. Our pictures and video are amazing! It took longer for the wedding party to get ready, throwing off our entire schedule for the day, and Melissa was still able to get all the shots we wanted in a short amount of time. I am in awe of the emotions and moments she captures. When you hire Melissa, you aren't just getting a photographer, but also a friend.

Of all the elements that go into that perfect wedding, the photography is the one thing that will bring those moments back to you again and again. Melissa's photography of my daughter's wedding did just that and even more. Melissa is so gifted at her craft, and through her camera lens she captures those moments that you'd think would only be in your memories of the day. I've seen great photos, but Melissa's talent, along with her sense of who she is photographing, bring together pieces that are simply amazing. People who don't even know my daughter or new son-in-law had tears at the beauty and sentimentality of Melissa's product. As long as Melissa is available, I will never choose another photographer. She is THAT exceptional!
Melissa Babasin Photography's reply:
Lisa, you are so very kind & your words have touched me. Thanks so much for reviewing me this is so amazing!!! Love you guys so much and so grateful I was able to document such an amazing wedding!
