    A+ photographer

    Melissa is the kind of photographer that you remember and pass along to everyone asking for a recommendation! She is reliable, attentive, and quick on turnover. She did the weddings of all of my sisters and myself and we could not have asked for a more stress-free vendor. The product speaks for itself. Even her assistant was a fan favorite of the wedding party! Thank you Melissa for being the photographer of our dreams!

    Melissa Kelly is amazing

    Melissa Kelly was amazing. She was very efficient and fun. She made us laugh and was super friendly and helpful through the entire process. She did a wonderful job and we absolutely love all of our photos. We will definitely use her as photographer for future photos we would like to have professionally taken. Truly a wonderful photographer and person.

    Best Photographer!!!

    Melissa Kelly Photography exceeded all of our expectations. Melissa has an eye for capturing the love story, in all of the little moments. We were lucky to work with Melissa on both our engagement session and our wedding day. Her creativity, her craft, and her precision, makes it impossible to have a single favorite photo. As two brides, Melissa captured our individual personalities and our dynamic as a duo, flawlessly. She made us feel at ease from the second we started chatting with her, and with every flash along the way. To say we highly recommend Melissa Kelly Photography, is an understatement. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being such an important part of our happily ever after!

    Spectacular is an understatement

    Melissa is the real deal. While we absolutely love our photos and got so many compliments from friends and family on the quality of the photography, what really blows me away about Melissa is her attention to detail and how personable and awesome she is (and the second photographer Theresa too!). If every vendor you hired was as professional, on top of it, and thoughtful as Melissa, we wouldn’t need reviews. She is so prepared for what the wedding day throws at her, she even had a box of safety pins when I had an unfortunately timed wardrobe malfunction and helped me fix it when on one else was around. When we asked Melissa to shoot us in our hiking boots in a park, she literally laid on the ground to get the best shot of my boots and the dress—total rockstar! Melissa is super responsive, even weeks after the wedding, and very accommodating. The pictures were delivered very quickly, easily accessible, and very organized. We can’t recommend Melissa enough—working with her has been an absolute pleasure and a breeze.

    The Best!!

    Melissa is the best!!! She was our wedding photographer and there are not enough words to describe how great our experience was with her and her team! From leading up to our wedding, to the day of and even after, she was so on top of everything and it was so evident how much she cared about my husband and I as well as our families. She made the whole process seamless and it was truly a joy to have her as a part of our day – it would not have been the same without her! We are so thankful we have our beautiful photos for a lifetime and cannot wait to work with her again soon!!!

    Melissa was a dream!

    If you're looking for a wedding or event photographer, stop searching, you've found her! Melissa was incredible! She was a dream to work with, immediately tuned into the vibe we were going for, and made everyone feel at ease. Planning with her could not have been easier (a godsend really, because what bride-to-be has endless amounts of free time to dedicate to every detail?!). She offered all of her expertise, but really got to know us to ensure our vision was captured on the big day. And on the day she was terrific! She was there for every important moment, but never intrusive. More than willing to stand on tables or lay on the ground to get the best shot! She was funny, and happy, and easy going, even in the non-stop deluge of rain! She seamlessly blended in to the scene, and was able to capture all of the unforgettable moments and beautiful memories that will now last a lifetime!

    Everything We Needed, By Far.

    Melissa was amazing. Our wedding was 2021, mid-pandemic, and we were stressed about everything from invitations to finances and more. With only a couple of months to go, we lost our previous photographer to scheduling issues. It is an understatement to say that finding Melissa was like a miracle. From the moment that we first spoke, Melissa was extremely communicative. She got to know us, found out what we wanted, discussed our concerns, and adapted to our needs effortlessly and warmly. When the big day came, she was both ever-present for all of our big moments and also not intrusive in a way that took attention from our ceremony. She was humorous and affable in a way that everyone at the wedding felt at ease around her, and in a way that made my wife and I more relaxed. Our pictures came out beautiful because we had such a good vibe. Most importantly, her price was the most affordable and the most versatile of all of the options that we previously saw. Quality, affordability, affability, and versatility: I cannot recommend her enough. Good luck to anyone else planning your wedding during these chaotic times and hope that you can have one less stress by having Melissa on your team.

    Simply the best

    Melissa was our first and only choice when it came to choosing a wedding photographer. After seeing her work throughout the years from the weddings of former classmates and acquaintences, she was one of the first calls we made after selecting our wedding date. She was amazing to work with from start to finish and her work is BEAUTIFUL. We plan to use her for any future milestones we want to capture.

    Amazing photographer!

    Working with Melissa on our wedding day was an absolute joy! She thought of everything for our photos, easily wrangled our wedding party and family members throughout the day, and took stunning photographs that we will treasure for years. She was incredibly professional and prompt throughout the entire process, replying to our emails within an hour of us sending them and having our wedding photos ready for us to review within just a few days of the wedding. On the day of the wedding, she made sure to regularly check in with us and our family to make sure she was getting the photos we wanted. Our final photos were stunning, and Melissa even included some beautiful prints when she sent the USB. We would highly recommend Melissa, and are so happy we got to work with her.

    Melissa is the absolute BEST

    Melissa has been so wonderful to work with and was extremely accommodating and understanding during all of the changes we had to make this year with postponing our wedding/reception. She gave me advice and support and made the whole process easy which I appreciated a lot considering how stressful everything else was this year. She took our photos for our small church ceremony and they turned out beautifully, and she got our various family group photos done efficiently. My bridesmaids loved working with her for the bridal party photos, too. We plan to work with Melissa again when we eventually have our bigger ceremony/reception in 2022. Melissa is great at what she does. She had our photos to us super quickly and they are all beautiful. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants a friendly, awesome, organized, and skilled photographer!

    The PERFECT wedding photographer.

    From our initial phone call to the delivery of our final photographs, Melissa exceeded every single one of our expectations. She was thorough, thoughtful, and made us feel so comfortable as we prepared for the big day. She coordinated every shot we wanted, got creative and photographed all of the beautiful details of our day, and helped us navigate freezing weather and a quickly setting sun with ease. We cannot recommend her enough.

    Talented and Friendly Photographer

    I can't recommend Melissa enough! Right from the beginning, Melissa was responsive, friendly, and flexible. She made us feel at ease during the sessions and it really shows in our photos. Our engagement and wedding photos came out great and the turnaround time was much sooner than I expected. I would love to work with Melissa again for future occasions!

    Wonderful Photographer!

    I’m so glad we hired Melissa for our wedding photography! From our first meeting, she was professional, friendly and very easy to work with. On the day of our wedding, she was a calm presence and made sure we kept right on schedule. She captured beautiful photos of all the details from our day, got great shots of the wedding party, made sure we got all the group shots we wanted at our reception, and was extremely accommodating when our dog showed up for a few pictures. :)

    I would highly recommend working with Melissa!

    Perfectly Captured Our Special Day!

    My husband and I absolutely LOVED working with Melissa and her team! She had taken our engagement photos in July 2018 (on probably the HOTTEST day of the entire summer) and she still managed to get amazing photos! We couldn't wait for her to also shoot our wedding! She is the absolute sweetest and she made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. She is SO detail-oriented and organized, and I am so grateful for that! Not only are her photographs AMAZING, but the turn-around time is so quick! She sent us the link for our proofs about a week and a half after the wedding! She really captured our day perfectly and my husband and I can't stop looking through them! Melissa is truly wonderful to work with and I am so happy we chose her to photograph one of the most important days of our life!

    Awesome photographer and human

    Melissa is an amazing photographer and an all around great human to hang out with on your wedding day! We found Melissa by word of mouth from a colleague of mine who used MKP for his wedding. He had nothing but good things to say about her, and we were sold as soon as we met her and chatted. She was so responsive and organized during planning, and when the day came, she was so efficient in getting all the must-have pictures done so we could party with everyone. She got along with absolutely everyone, which was so important and not to be underestimated because the people around you can really affect your mood!

    And of course, her pictures were wonderful. We loved the bright, vibrant portraits and also got many cool action shots and candids. Melissa got our pictures back super quick so we didn't have to wait months to relive the day again. She's definitely a great investment!

    Melissa is the best!

    Melissa is AMAZING! I can't even put into words how grateful I am that we chose her to capture the most important moments of our big day! She went above and beyond to the extreme! Throughout the entire planning process, she was always reachable via email and phone call and she was so patient with me and my millions of questions and concerns. My husband and I do not live in the Philadelphia area, and Melissa so kindly volunteered her time to scope out locations that she thought would be great for both engagement photos and photos on our wedding day! She also recommended an amazing team of videographers (that we LOVED!). On the actual wedding day, she continued to go above and beyond - her team arrived super early, had a super detailed plan of events for the day, and she even put my veil in for me when I couldn't figure out how to do it! Her partner was also super helpful with the groomsmen in the morning - she helped them put on their boutonnieres and figure out their pocket squares. Melissa and her team also had awesome and creative ideas for different angles and backgrounds for all our photos. The pictures came out better than we ever could've imagined! And we got them back to us less than two weeks after the wedding!! If you do one thing right in your wedding planning, it's choosing Melissa Kelly!

    Book with Melissa !

    I cannot say enough good things about Melissa. When starting the wedding process I found it was hard to find a photographer who I “vibed” with. The second I spoke to Melissa, I knew she was the one I wanted to take my wedding photos. She was on board with all of my ideas, didn’t push us to do a “first look” like many other photographers we spoke to tried, and her previous work was amazing. Melissa did our engagement photos in 100 degree weather and they came out amazing. The day of the wedding she was a life savior in many ways. She brought clips to hang my dress up bc the hotel was lacking, she had a tide stick when my husband spilled red wine on himself, and even had pins to fix my dress. The photo process was quick, fun and easy(she is also good at controlling crazy bridal parties like mine). She took every picture I requested and they all came out amazing. The pictures are beyond what I expected and we couldn’t be happier. We also received the pictures back really quick. I highly recommend Melissa Kelly🥰❤️

    Incredible Wedding Photographer!

    Melissa was an absolutely amazing person to have around on our wedding day, let alone photographer. My fiance/wife and I were a little nervous going into the engagement shoot, but within a couple minutes of meeting Melissa, that was all gone. She put us at ease almost immediately and made the afternoon feel comfortable and natural. Our wedding day on May 4th was no different. It was a very long day with a couple of different events and Melissa was there throughout the entire thing doing a wonderful job. She was able to get everyone organized and where they needed to be on a schedule. The photos from beginning to end came out beautifully, really capturing the emotion and excitement of the day. The final package she sent was of the highest quality, even superseding our expectations. I'd highly recommend Melissa as a photographer for any event and am so satisfied having worked with her.

    Hire Melissa and her team for any event!

    Definitely one of the best decisions we made for the wedding was working with Melissa and her team! From the engagement photo session, to the planning calls, to the wedding day, Melissa made our experience feel relaxed, comfortable, and fun. They were very professional, accommodating, and kept us on track with our timing throughout the entire wedding day (even when the main road in front of our venue was shutdown and traffic filled!) Our pictures are beautiful and captured our day perfectly. Regardless of the event, we would highly recommend Melissa and her team! They were outstanding photographers and genuinely great people to work with. We can’t thank them enough!

    Absolute best in Philly

    Melissa was absolutely amazing! She made us feel comfortable and confident all day. She was professional and prepared for everything. From getting a stain out of my dress to finding the best locations for photos, having Melissa for my big day was the best decision we made and made our day that much better. We get so many compliments about our photos and love that we have such special memories to cherish forever.

    Speechless!

    Amazing! Melissa was extremely helpful, responsive, friendly, and so down to earth. Not only is she great at what she does, but she’s also personable and great to have with you the entire day. You need to remember your photographer is going to be with you for 8+ hours...while you’re in a robe, when you’re putting on your dress...you HAVE to feel comfortable with them and Melissa was just like one of the girls in my party.

    It was less than 20 degrees the day of our wedding and our first look was outside. Melissa and the second shooter, Kerry, made sure to get every shot they needed as quickly as possible without losing quality. They also had hand warmers for the girls to sneakily hold around their bouquets! They didn’t waste any time planning their next shot or what they wanted us to do.

    Once we moved inside to do family portraits, Melissa was. on. top. of. IT. We were running behind with the ceremony run-through, but Melissa got portraits done so quickly and efficiently. I was in awe! And the pictures are amazing!! You’d never know it only took 5-10 minutes. She also made sure to ask us if there was anything additional we wanted, any other pictures with the maids/men, etc., and listened to everything we said.

    Another important thing to mention—Melissa bustled my dress! And when the bustle broke because my gown was too heavy, she came to the rescue with safety pins. Literally prepared for anything.

    We received our photo preview with SO MANY PICTURES less than 10 days after the wedding. How fast is that?! The pictures are absolutely perfect and gorgeous. There are so many that we didn’t even know were being taken and we love the candidness of them! You don’t realize how much you miss throughout the day and it’s so great to be able to see these moments that Melissa and Kerry captured.

    I am so, so happy we chose Melissa for our wedding day!

    A Must Hire!

    Melissa and I had gone through the same photojournalism program in college and I've been watching her career evolve from a distance. I knew for years that Melissa was the photographer for my wedding and it would just be a matter of time that we would hire her!

    Having never shot at our venue before, Melissa captured timeless images that we, along with our friends and family will cherish forever. She and her second shooter were able able to location scout upon arrival and execute without flaw. Further to this they captured everything on our "must shoot list" with efficiency and creativity and so much more! My wife and I were so happy that we hired Melissa to photograph our wedding because she told the story of our day through the perspective of a guest all while capturing the quiet moments that my wife and I shared as newly weds.

    Lastly we were surprised and thrilled when we received our final images... without spoiling the surprise, Melissa's presentation and personal touch is second to none!

    If you want a photographer who is talented, attentive, accommodating, creative, organized, professional and just a great person to be around on your wedding day, book Melissa. I heavily researched photographers because to me and my husband, our photographer was the most important vendor for our wedding day. We wanted someone who could capture the emotion of our day and not miss any of the special moments. I talked to more than 10 photographers before coming across Melissa and after our first phone call I booked her that day. She had a special way of making me feel so comfortable and confident in her ability to capture our day in the way we wanted without being arrogant or pushing the largest package size, as many other photographers did. I also really appreciated that all of my contact was through Melissa herself and not an assistant or someone else within the company. We had the pleasure of meeting Melissa prior to our wedding at our engagement shoot in NYC where we live. Melissa was the ONLY photographer I spoke to that was happy to come to NYC and did not tack on any extra charges. Both my husband and I immediately felt so comfortable with Melissa and like we had known her for much longer than 1 hour. She captured some amazing shots that day and we got comfortable posing for the camera. When a bird pooped on my husband's shoulder during the shoot, Melissa did not hesitate to immediately fix the issue so photos could continue without a hitch. Leading up to the wedding, Melissa was a dream to work with. She always responded so quickly to my emails and helped with recommendations for other vendors for our day. Laying out the day with her and coming up with a plan of must have shots was a breeze. Most importantly, on our day Melissa and her assistant were prompt, kept us on schedule, made everyone in the wedding party laugh and feel comfortable, and captured all of the emotion of our day. At one point, Melissa laid on her stomach IN THE MIDDLE OF ROUTE 30 (Lancaster Avenue) to get one of our desired shots that the sun was ruining! This is the extent that Melissa will go to for her couples. When we got all of our images back (within 2.5 weeks) we were BLOWN away. They are nothing short of incredible and help us relive the magic of our day. I HIGHLY recommend choosing Melissa as your photographer. You won't only not be disappointed, but so thrilled with your choice.

    Exceptional Photographer

    Melissa Kelly did an amazing job on our wedding. She has the wedding photography business down to a science. Melissa and her assistant were always there when a shot was available and they were fast and efficient. Cannot recommend her enough!
