    Melissa was a dream to work with!

    Can’t recommend Melissa Glynn enough! She was such a pleasure with have on our wedding day capturing all our important moments. She arrived on time (if not a little early) and was able to photograph the flat lays and details while I was still getting hair and makeup done. Was able to photograph me getting into my dress and then made her way to the venue to photograph the space and the groom & groomsmen getting ready all before the ceremony started. She was quick and efficient during family photos making them easy and not overly time consuming. We can’t wait to see our photos!!

    Amazing Job!

    Melissa is an absolute dream come true. She did both our engagement and wedding photos. We took our engagement photos in downtown Austin and she was an expert at places to go (we were from out of town). She arrived early and had already tested shots/the lighting beforehand so we could maximize our session. She was always prompt in her communication and delivered final photos in the expected timeframe. Our wedding was in July 2020 during COVID-19 and her flexibility was unmatched. She worked with us on new dates, locations and travel all while guidelines were constantly changing. She was able to photograph both our welcome dinner and wedding day. Similar to our engagement photos, she was prompt, organized and energetic. So many of our guests commented on how lovely she was and fit right in. Our photos turned out better than we could have expected and perfectly captured our wedding weekend.

    Hands down the best

    ​If you're reading this to decide if you should hire Melissa - do yourself a favor and pull the trigger because you will not find a better photographer. Melissa is a friggin genius and made the most amazing shots with all of her little tricks. We first worked with Melissa for our engagement pictures last year. She made us feel so comfortable (even in Texas August heat) and got the best pictures we have ever taken. Melissa also shot our wedding and came highly recommended by our planner and venue. I cannot say enough good things about Melissa & her team! If you are looking for stunning quality and a fun person to work with, Melissa is your girl.

    Amazing Photographer!!!

    I recently married the love of my life. For preparations leading up to this important day, I didn’t have much input. Like most grooms, I basically let her plan almost everything and I just showed up. On the most important day of my life I can truly say that I was very impressed with a few of the vendors and others, not so much. Melissa was incredible! She’s obviously very confident and has the personality for her trade. Everything is a time crunch, much more than we imagined, and she utilized her time very efficiently. There were moments that seemed like they were going to be disastrous. My wife almost had an emotional breakdown(rightfully so). Melissa went out of her way to comfort her. She took control and kept everything moving according to plan. The photos turned out amazing! She is a professional photographer in every aspect! Can’t thank her enough. Very satisfied with our experience!

    Where do I even begin! We hired Melissa for our engagement photos and our wedding. Being in the wedding industry I’ve seen A LOT of photographers work, and when I first started sifting through photographers for my own wedding, I had about 20 on my list. This was probably the hardest decision I had to make out of all my vendors, but I’m thrilled that we chose Melissa.

    First of all, our engagement photos were incredible. We went to 2 locations, had 2 outfit changes, and she spent almost 3 hours with us. We are obsessed with our photos, I don’t think I could have asked for anything better! She delivered them in about 2 weeks, which was great since we were on a time crunch to get Save The Dates out!

    Now for the wedding day! About a week prior to the wedding I hired Melissa for an extra hour! So glad I did! 8 hours is plenty, but that 9 hours really allows her to have more time pre-ceremony. She also met me at the venue a week or two before the wedding to go over everything and scope out the space. She arrived early on wedding day, and started shooting almost immediately. She was on top of everything throughout the day, and throughout the wedding I had several guests come up to me and make positive comments abut her. Melissa is a true professional, and a very down-to-earth and friendly person. She even sent us 6 or 7 photos two days after the wedding, which are absolutely stunning. I am thrilled to see the rest, and I know they will be just as amazing as the work she’s already delivered to us. I am so happy with my decision to hire her, and would 100% recommend her! Thank you so much Melissa, you da best sweet cheeks!

    I do not even know where to start... I found Melissa a month before my wedding and when I saw her portfolio and her "about me" page...I instantly knew she was the one! I was so blessed that she took me on even when she already had 2 weddings booked that weekend. She showed up the day of my wedding and we instantly hit it off. I had nothing really planned out for photos and she took charge and made me feel beautiful and comfortable every step of the way. I have only seen a few preview photos but they have already blown me away!!! All I can say is I completely adored her and could not have asked for a more. She was truly a professional and artist of her trade.

    Melissa—You are an extremely talented photographer and an amazing person. I’m so glad you decided to do our engagement and wedding pictures in Charleston. Working with you was probably the least stressful part of the wedding planning process. And the best decision that we made! I hope we get a chance to work together in the future. I wish you much success!

    After deciding to give my groom pictures of me in a boudoir session, I looked around at several reviews of photographers in Austin. Melissa came highly recommended through a friend, and she was nice enough to meet me in person to discuss what I was looking for in my photos. From the moment we met I felt very comfortable with her. She is very down to earth, and exudes happiness as well as passion for her work. It's easy to see that her goal is to make omen feel beautiful, and wow, she sure is good at it. She was able to show me some shots from prior sessions and they were absolutely stunning. She also listened to my concerns about wanting to make sure my most flattering side was captured and my trouble spots (we all have them) were not necessarily the center of the photos. I also have no idea how to feel comfortable with a non-smiling "sexy face" and she gave me very good tips as to how to best achieve a natural look.

    When it came to the day of my shoot, I was a little bit nervous, but she had music and champagne, and I was good to go. During the shoot, she was great about telling me how to change my pose to be more flattering, and during the session, she showed me some of the pictures that she was taking as she took them. This definitely gave me confidence. After the session was over I left feeling so great about myself, and when I saw the pictures, I was ecstatic. I couldn't wait to show my groom. Needless to say, he loved them, and he was so surprised he could not stop smiling. Melissa, thank you for the wonderful work that you do and for making me feel and look beautiful!!

    One of the absolute best decisions and outcomes from our wedding was having Melissa Glynn as the photographer. I'm not kidding - I've had SO many people from my wedding ask for Melissa's contact info for their events and special moments. She was INCREDIBLE!!! Her photos are amazing (and we got a sneak peek of them less than a week after the wedding!) -- she never wasted time and always knew (because she is the best planner) what to do next -- she worked with the wedding coordinator and scheduled everything to make sure she had time for all the shots -- she never missed a moment -- she is the friendliest, nicest persion -- she has such a great personality and all of our guests who had just met her loved her as much as we did. I will ask her to shoot all of our big moments. Melissa Glynn Photography is the BEST!!

    Oh my gosh! We absolutely love our wedding pictures and so does everyone else. You two really did an amazing job. We couldn't have asked for better pictures.

    As we looked through them, I laughed, got teary-eyed, and sometimes embarrassed for myself and the guests.

    I am so impressed by all the images you "captured." You didn't miss anything and showed me so much more than I even knew was going on throughout the day! They depicted my memories of the day perfectly. And, I can't believe how beautiful you made me look in some of the pictures (and others, of course, I thought I looked awful). Of course Craig looked handsome in everyone picture.

    I just LOVE them SO MUCH! The quality of the pictures and actually working with you throughout this process has been first rate. Please let me know anything I can do refer and/or compliment your service so everyone knows to use you.

    Melissa is amazing, hiring her as our wedding photographer was the BEST thing I did to ensure we had a great day and photographs to relive the memories. She has excellent vision and ideas. She was flexible and creative, as the weather did not cooperate for outdoor photos. Since the big day has passed, looking at the wedding pictures I remember pieces of the day you forget in the chaos, view the fun moments others had while I/my husband were chatting or elsewhere and most importantly.... Melissa really captured our love on film. Melissa made me feel like the luckiest bride. EVERYONE has told us our wedding photography is amazing and I feel so lucky to have found her.

    Melissa is the best. Everyone at my wedding loved her, and when they finally saw the photos, they loved her even more. She's fun, talented, and an excellent addition to any wedding. I would recommend her to anyone, and I plan to continue to use her for my professional photography needs.

    I have never received so many compliments not only on the photographs - but on the photographer herself! Melissa was awesome to work with - she was very flexible with what my husband and I wanted for our engagement pictures as well as on the 'big day'. The pictures perfectly captured our humor, as well as nearly every one of our wedding guests. I cannot recommend Melissa enough - her work speaks for itself!

    If you want an outstanding photographer, book Melissa! My husband and I were so impressed with her work and we will can't wait to book her again! Melissa was very easy to work with, great communication, and just awesome overall! The only problem is, we don't have enough wall space for all of the photos we love!! I would highly recommend Melissa!

    I couldn't possibly say enough good things about Melissa. I knew within 5 minutes of meeting her that we would hire her to photograph our wedding. Melissa was flexible with her package to meet our needs and helped customize something perfect for us. In the weeks following the wedding countless friends and family commented on Melissa's professionalism and demeanor. I had a surprise gift from a relative that is a videographer, she brought all her equipment all the way from California to video the wedding! Normally a photographer would want to know this detail up front but Melissa was very gracious of this little surprise and the two worked great together.

    The real amazing part though is of course, the pictures. Wow, I still (four months later) find new favorites every time I look at them.

    I would recommend Melissa 100% with no exceptions!!!!

    Melissa and her assistant were so sweet and fun. So far, I have only seen the “teaser” pictures on her blog. They are awesome though, and I can’t wait to see what else she got. I told her that I think her work is magic. I love following her blog and seeing her other work, even though I don't know the other people, they are just such pretty pictures!

    I used Melissa for my boudoir shoot. She was amazing. From the first time I spoke with her to the time I received my photos back Melissa was so responsive and easy going. Not only is her work beautiful but her personality makes it fun to work with her. Her prices are pretty reasonable as well.

    I am just a regular average girl and was really nervous going into my shoot. I had no idea what I was doing or how the pictures would turn out. Melissa made the shoot easy and fun and I didn't even have to have a glass of wine to relax!

    I highly recommend her work to anyone looking to do these pictures in the Austin area.

    I hired Melissa to do a boudoir session for my fiance. I am 41 years old and was a little nervous as to how I would look in print at this stage in life. Melissa was professional, on-time, and an absolute pleasure to work with she made me feel so comfortable. The photos were beyond amazing, there were so many phenomenal images to choose from. My fiance was over the moon with the gift. I would highly recommend her, and as a matter of fact I will be using her for my upcoming wedding.

    Not Empowering but Beautiful Pics

    Melissa was very particular about how to pose my body during our boudoir photo shoot. I can imagine this is helpful for some people, but I didn't feel like myself and her instructions came across as very negative. My goal for the photo shoot was to feel empowered and have fun but I ended up feeling self-conscious after she repeatedly used the phrase "no- do this" and criticized my natural poses and movements. I felt like she was going through the motions of what she believes is the "right" way to do a boudoir photoshoot without taking into consideration my preferences.

    I was under the impression the photo shoot would be 2 hours long but she rushed me throughout it, and we cut the shoot short by over 15 minutes, which is significant when you consider how much money it costs. I felt like a burden to her every time she mentioned she needed to go up North for her next photoshoot even though she is the one who picked the time.

    The pictures she took were absolutely beautiful and I love the small book with 20 photos and large print I ordered. She is an extremely talented photographer and is great at capturing the light. If you want to be told exactly how to look and stand, she's probably the right choice for you, but if you are looking to be heard, creative, or want your own personality to shine through, it may be worthwhile either talking about this explicitly with her ahead of time or going with someone who is less directive.
