Wedding Photographer Review
We are so happy that we hired Melissa as our photographer for our wedding. She prioritizes getting to know the couple, not only to discover our wants and expectations for photos, but also to learn about our history and understand the story she wants to capture. We felt like she was already a close friend after meeting her once. We as a couple are not the most comfortable in front of a camera, so we were overjoyed when Melissa created such a fun environment for us during our engagement photoshoot. The photos came out stunning, and there was not an awkward pose to be found! In addition to her work that speaks for itself, Melissa was in regular contact with us throughout the wedding planning process. She is quick to respond and has tons of helpful advice from her many years of working in the industry. She helped us put our wedding day timeline together, came to see the venue with us, and answered all our questions. Melissa was so efficient and professional on our wedding day which helped us maximize our time with our guests. She took amazing photos throughout the day, capturing the complete picture of our wedding that we love to look through regularly. Amazingly, she continued working even after the wedding just to provide us with a wonderful sneak peek album that she shared with us before the night had ended! We were shocked by how quickly she worked to get all of the pictures back to us. Our family and friends also had nothing but lovely things to say about Melissa. They loved interacting with her during the day and have all been thoroughly impressed by the photos she captured. We can’t wait to work with her again!

I cannot recommend Melissa enough. From the first phone call she was understanding of our priorities and was flexible in putting together a package that fit our needs. She is incredibly professional and personable and put us at ease immediately. She went above and beyond in finding a great spot for our first look and even offered to photograph an impromptu ceremony we ended up putting together when we found out my father couldn't come to our wedding. When it came time for photos, she gave clear directions and was very efficient while also making it fun (for two people who really don't like having pictures taken of us). She made family photos a breeze. And then she gave us a TON of gorgeous sneak peek photos by midnight the night of our wedding. Seriously. I cannot recommend her enough. She's incredible.Melissa Babasin Photography's reply:
Thank you so much for these kind words!! I love you two so much & I’m so grateful that you two picked me to document your special day. -

10/10 Experience with Melissa!
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!!Melissa Babasin Photography's reply:
Seriously Ashley this has made my day! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this and wow so incredibly thoughtful of you. I am so glad we are connected and I LOVE you two so much! Your wedding was epic! -

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!Melissa Babasin Photography's reply:
Thank you thank you for all these kind and sweet words on this review I super appreciate you taking the time to review me! Your wedding was a gorgeous and amazing and I’m so grateful that I can document all of these wonderful memories that you guys made that special day. -

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!Melissa Babasin Photography's reply:
Thank you so much for this! Your wedding was truly beautiful and heartfelt and I’m so grateful that I was lucky one document it all. -

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:
Ummm I’m in tears! Thank you so much for this!! ❤️❤️
Your wedding was a dream! So lucky I got to document it! -

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! 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!Melissa Babasin Photography's reply:
Oh my goodness Kelsey! Thank you so much!! Can you get married again it was beautiful. Come see us in Portland when you are visiting family in WA! Drinks on us! -

Ashley R. Sent on 08/03/2020Can 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! -

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 Photography's reply:
Eeekkk this is so so so nice!!! Thanks so much Jen! I shed many joyful tears at your wedding, what an amazing day! -

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 Babasin Photography's reply:
Eeekkk Annika thank you so so much for this review! Wow this is so kind. I am so glad we got to be there to witness & document your love for one another. May you have many years of wonderful memories everytime you look back at your video & photos! -

Hannah Sent on 10/06/2018Melissa 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!

AWE..... Thank you thank you so much for this!! It was so cool to see your parents property come to life with such beauty after the Atlas fire, your wedding will be one to go down in the books as one of the coolest weddings ever! -
