Blown away!

Melissa was absolutely amazing. When I first reached out to her about photographing my wedding she was responsive and so friendly. She suggested we meet in person to talk about our wedding and what we were looking for from a photographer. She likes to engage with her clients and really get to know them before you both decide if she’s the one to photograph your moments. And let me just say, she IS the one to photograph your moments. When my husband and I met Melissa for the first time in person, it was like meeting up with an old friend. We literally closed down the restaurant because we just sat and talked and were having too much fun! Melissa got up at one point to go to the bathroom, and that’s when my husband and I both looked at each other and said “We can’t get married without her.” And that was that! She was hired and we were so excited. At our first meeting, I told Melissa I love candid photos! I know we were going to do some traditional and structured photos of course, but candid pictures meant so much to me and I really wanted *moments* captured to look back on. I don’t think anything I say will ever do justice to the photos we received. We were absolutely blown away at how Melissa was able to capture EVERY single beautiful moment of the day! I get to relive my wedding day every time I look through my photos. I hung up some photos in my operatory at work. I have a conversation with every single patient that comes into my chair about my pictures. Every patient I have comments on how beautiful they are which prompts them to keep asking questions about my wedding. Melissa gave me that. She gave me and my husband and our guests pure moments of the best day of my life. She is so talented and amazing, I can’t say it enough. She also went above and beyond helping me with things I didn’t know I needed help with. She was always right there, ready to help and make sure every single minute of your day was perfect. If you are lucky enough to have Melissa as your photographer, I promise you, you will not be disappointed!!! She is the absolute best! We couldn’t have asked for a better person to be behind the camera. Thank you Melissa for everything you did for us, and for sharing your talent with us! We are so grateful!

Can't say enough about Melissa! Godsend!

There really aren't enough words to tell you how amazing Melissa Koren is! She was more helpful than our coordinator! She helped with every aspect of our day! From getting my dress buttoned and bustled, to getting our bouquets to the correct people and reminded us to cut the cake! And her photographs are so incredible. She caught so many beautiful, funny and memorable moments, I'm having problems choosing! She even worked with us when our date changed! Thank you Melissa, you are incredible!

Made us feel comfortable

My wife and I are introverts and being the center of attention is not our thing. Melissa made us feel incredibly comfortable took a lot of beautiful photos of the wedding. She was super flexible on timing and totally catered to what we wanted. We were thankful to have her there and we love our photos.

A brides best friend!

Melissa was our amazing photographer but also the doer of things I didn’t even know needed to be done. I consider myself very organized but didn’t know when my veil should come off or when to bustle my dress, Melissa did! She stepped in and did things to help my day go so smoothly! Thank you so much Melissa!

A Quality, Passionate Photographer Who Excels

I can’t say enough positive things about Melissa Koren Photography and how much my partner and I appreciate Melissa and respect her work. Melissa was exceptionally responsive, kind, and flexible (especially given that I had a last-minute wedding). She was happy to accommodate us. On the wedding day, we were shocked at the number of pictures she was able to take within the time frame we had booked her for. She made us feel comfortable and confident. She didn’t hesitate to help moving my dress around and even made a great suggestion about where to stand for the ceremony due to the light. We were so glad to have her there. The pictures from both sessions with her are stunning and we can’t imagine a more special way to have documented the day. We’re so thankful to have found Melissa and would love to work with her again sometime. It’s clear to us that Melissa is a true, quality professional who excels at the job she does and is passionate about her work. We’ll be highly recommending Melissa Koren Photography to anybody looking to have pictures done!

Home is in Melissa's Magic

Melissa is so very much more than the most talented photographer you'll meet. When Rob and I first agreed to mawwaige, we agreed on two things: first, as New Hampshire residents, it had to be in October, when the leaves are at their most magical. And second, which October leaf-peaking weekend would depend on Melissa's availability. We would wait a year, if that's what it took. We knew that no one else would be able to capture the tenderness, the silliness, and the love that our little family of three had grown together.

Long story short, she said yes, and we were elated! From behind-the-scenes gorgeous shots of the details that made our wedding so very "us," to the expressions she captured on our faces, it was all that we wished for and more. Wedding, family mini-session, brilliance and more, Melissa will make your world radiant. She will help you see in the beauty in yourself, in the people you love, and in every moment that follows.

One of the best decisions we made for the wedding!

Melissa not only captured the joy of our special day, she also went above and beyond what would be expected of a photographer. Everything little thing we didn't think to bring, she had with her. A few people in the party forgot to cut off the clothing hanging straps in their dresses, but it wasn't a problem because she had scissors with her! She also had tips on how to quickly button up the back of the wedding dress and bustled it up for the ceremony in no time at all, which was great because it always took us forever to find where the buttons were hiding. When it was getting too hot during the reception, she checked with the venue about opening up the doors for us. She had such a great attitude and helped us out in ways we never even expected. And the photos! We're absolutely in love with them. They're so beautiful and elegant, but they also show us for the huge goofballs we are. She really captured the fun of the day. As the bride and groom you're so busy that it's inevitable you'll miss some moments, but because of what an amazing job Melissa did, we're able to see so many more special moments that went on while we were busy making googly eyes at each other. We're so glad that we decided to hire her as out photographer and can't recommend her enough!

Fuller Gardens Wedding 9.28.2019

Melissa is absolutely the most amazing photographer and human ever! She was so kind and helpful for my wedding, I don't know what I would have done without her! I was running a bit late and as soon as I got there she helped me get all settled in and communicated to my husband to be that I had finally arrived. We loved all of our wedding photos and will definitely be recommending her to everyone who is looking for a photographer in New Hampshire!

One conversation with Melissa and any stress regarding how and who to photograph our wedding was gone. Our photos are joyous and truly unbelievable. We can't recommended her enough.

Look no further, Melissa is the best

Look no further Melissa is the best! We are so happy to have met her and are so happy she was the one to capture our wedding day! She was able to capture everything better than we could have ever imagined! So friendly, hardworking and reliable. She really cares about the people she works with and that makes a huge difference. Everyone at the wedding loved her. I would highly recommend her!

Incredible beyond words!

There is not enough time for me to write about how incredibly AMAZING Melissa is as both a photographer and as a human being. Melissa shot our wedding 3 weeks ago and her day started with a bang - my mom's dress zipper broke while putting on the dress (damn seam!). Needless to say, there was some pretty major freaking out going on in the suite because we needed to be en route to our venue in about 30 mins. Well, Melissa came prepared, not just to take photos, but for literally ANYTHING. She had all sorts of gadgets and sewing materials and she literally put my mom's dress back together. While the atmosphere in the room had gone from excited to complete anxiousness, Melissa had a calming sense about her and reassured us everything was going to be fine. And it sure was. Now, moving forward to THE PHOTOS. We have not even received our full file of photos yet. We have only seen the ones she shared with us on her website, and I am already in complete awe. I already knew she was great, but boy I was not expecting such flawless pictures. It was as if she was literally capturing our personalities in her shots. You could feel the joy, the excitement, and the love through her pictures. The day was perfect, but her photos captured every single moment I would've wanted her to capture, and there's still so much more to come! As I said before, I could go on and on, but at the end of the day, I will never be able to put into words how incredibly amazing this woman is. Anyone would be lucky to have her photograph their event. Thank you Melissa a thousand times over

Best Wedding Photographer on the Seacoast!

Melissa was absolutely amazing to work with! She did our engagement and wedding wedding photos. As someone who is not the most comfortable in front of the camera, Melissa made us feel so at ease and we had a ton of fun shooting our engagement photos on the beach! When the wedding rolled around, Melissa was so detail oriented, she kept us on schedule and made sure we all had fun! She went above and beyond the call of duty: fastening boutonnieres, bustling my dress, and keeping everyone on track! She came highly recommended to me from a friend who used her for her own wedding and we were amazed with the beautiful work she did! We were so incredibly pleased with the photos when they came back (quicker than quoted) and would recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding or special event photographer!

Simply the Best Wedding Photographer

Melissa really made our wedding happen. She rolled with the weather threats, kept us all on pace, even helped me get dressed, cleaned the makeup off my dress, and put on my earrings. We would have been lost without her organization and exceptional help every step of the way, not to mention her bright smile and great personality. I'm so grateful that we found her for our wedding and I can't wait to see the images she produces! Melissa, you're the best! Thank you!

We love melissa!

Working with Melissa was incredible. We found her through our lovely wedding planner Nicole Mower - she was her photographer. We planned from afar but had the chance to have a drink with Melissa before our wedding - from the moment we met her, we knew she was THE ONE! Melissa captured each moment of our special day exactly as we would have wanted it captured. She is so calm and ultra organized. Our pictures have a casual feel (which is exactly what we want) while still capturing the beauty of our seacoast wedding. The photos came to us really fast, and the preview just days after the wedding. Even though we live across the country we can't wait for Melissa to capture all of our special moments. We cannot say enough great things about Melissa!

The perfect mix of professional, talented and fun

Melissa is equal parts wonderful photographer and wonderful human being. Aside from her obvious talent and beautiful photos, she is someone I genuinely enjoy being around -- and I think that's really important when working with a photographer, because it's typically not the most comfortable experience for most people! She is fun, funny and full of personality, but still takes her job seriously and clearly has a passion for what she does. I always have a fear of coming across awkward in photos and walk away wondering how they will turn out, but Melissa has a way of relaxing people, making them laugh, and bringing out the best in them -- with the end result being great photographs that capture life's most precious moments & memories, and tell a story.

Aside from our engagement photos last fall, she recently shot our wedding. The timeline leading up to the ceremony unfortunately ended up being a bit tight and hectic, and as a result there are some photos we didn't get that I wish we had, simply because of time constraints and the fact that we were rushing more than I would have liked (a perfect example that you can try to plan and schedule everything out, but the day will never unfold 100 percent according to plan!) But Melissa helped to keep me calm amidst the chaos, and still managed to get many lovely photos that really captured the heart and spirit of our wedding day. Aside from that, she helped with my dress and other getting ready things, rescued our wedding bands that were accidentally left behind in the room the guys were getting ready in, and drove me from the getting ready location to the venue after everyone else left and abandoned me (haha) because we were running behind schedule. Although we arrived to the venue later than planned which created some challenges, after helping to get me from the car to the bridal suite *mostly* unseen by our guests, she still was able to get some shots of the decor and whatnot around the venue prior to the ceremony, as I was relieved to find when we got our photos back (I had been worried about this!)

Overall Melissa is just wonderful and I highly recommend her. More than just a talented photographer that I hope will capture many more future milestones & memories for us in the years to come, I consider her a friend and can say with confidence that you will not regret booking Melissa, no matter what the occasion or life event is that you are looking to capture.

Fun, detailed and does it all!

Melissa was fantastic. She listened to what we wanted and got to know us. The engagement pictures are beautiful! Day of she was able to capture the details, while managing a large family with many kids. She had everything. She helped to fix some lace falling off the flower girl's dress, bustled my dress and worked great with the other vendors. We were able to see a few sneak peak pictures and can't wait for the rest!

Perfection

Our experience with Melissa was sheer perfection. I can not speak more highly about her work or how she engaged with us. She is bubbly, witty, easy going and I just love her. Planning a US wedding from Australia should have been stressful but I was so relaxed with Melissa - and her organisation, time management and attention to detail was outstanding. We established an instant rapport with her which made taking photos easy and we had so much fun with her. I think she truly captured the essense of our wedding day, and it comes across in her photos she is all about love, family and friendship. As I bride I think at times you stress about things like bad weather etc and as fast as those thoughts came to my head Melissa released them and left me feeling like whatever happened on the day would have its own beauty and she would just roll with it. She is a true professional and jack of all trades.
In the lead up to the wedding we did two mini sessions with her in the springtime and also a winter snow shoot. She delivered countless beautiful photos and I know we will continue to use her for years to come.
We have so much admiration for you Melissa and your beautiful outlook on life. So glad we got to share these experiences with you. xxx

Cutting right to it- I highly recommend hiring Melissa to photograph your milestones!

We hired her to photograph our wedding (came highly recommended from a friend) and are SO pleased. The resulting photos, day-of photography experience, payment schedule, emails leading up to the event, and purchasing prints were all part of what I can only describe as a luxury experience. We saw her work and loved the exciting composition- gorgeous photos that happen to have happy newlyweds- and knew we needed to book her!

We got so much more than beautiful photos. Melissa went above and beyond and was prepared for anything- like helping me take my Spanx off in a park, noticing my foot was bleeding and supplying bandaids and shout wipes for all the days’ surprises, whisking us away to take couples’ photos when the time was right, making sure we ate, removing my veil, more bandaids, fixing my rogue hair, getting us an Uber to the venue, quickly telling us how to cut a wedding cake, and being an overall wonderful human on our wedding team!

Booking her was so easy, she replied to my email quickly and helped us choose the right package to meet our needs. We chose not to do an engagement shoot but I would say if one opted to do an engagement session then they can meet her awesomeness sooner rather than later! Her online payment system is clear to use and streamlined, and she sent reminders when a payment date was approaching (so helpful). Her worksheet format for gathering info about our wedding was great!

A month after our event we received all the digital photos and ordered prints online directly from her website. It was an easy process and the site is simple to navigate while making your final printing descisions. Did I mention the teasers?! Less than a week after our wedding she emailed us a link to the blog post and we were so thrilled to see a preview so soon! Also, she wrote the kindest words about us and we turned to mush. Hi Melissa, the feeling’s mutual! ❤️

Melissa photographed our family of 15 including 5 boys ages 2 to 10. It was a day that rained on and off but she made the best of our location photographing us outside when the weather broke and inside while it rained. The photos turned out great. She went above and beyond when I was unsatisfied with a canvas print I ordered because the rainbow did not show up well. She had them reprinted and send to me within two days. I highly recommend Melissa!

Just got our "teaser pictures" access and are so pleased with how everything turned out! Leading up to the day Melissa worked with us many times back and forth to ensure that we got the time frame and services that we wanted. She took the time to get to know our vibe as a couple and matched that very well on the wedding day. She worked well with our families and friends capturing all the important moments without any fussing. She even worked on her birthday for us! We will enjoy the memories she has captured for us as well as the encouraging words she shared with us for many years to come.

I am the mother of a bride whose wedding Melissa recently photographed in Portland, ME. I was, quite honestly, astonished and overjoyed with Melissa's thoughtful skill, expertise, professionalism, and, no less so, her vibrant personality!!!! The importance of the wedding photography cannot be overstated. All of the memories of that special day are captured in the photography, and kept forever in the resulting pictures. This is a critical piece of a wedding. Melissa knew what to do, when to do it (things we did not know or think of!) and how to capture the perfect mood for every single part of the day, start to finish. In addition to inconspicuously and skillfully capturing every detail of my daughter's wedding day, she also acted an a guide and personal assistant to my daughter, attending to every detail of what to do when, fixing her dress, making sure that she was hydrated and that she ate, checking in with her on how she was doing, what shots she and her husband wanted, and so much more. I could go on forever on the details that Melissa covered so thoughtfully and flawlessly. In our opinions (bride, groom and families), Mellissa is a pro, and her work is simply unparalleled.

Melissa was recommended to me by a friend and I could not have been happier with her. She was FANTASTIC! Not only was she super responsive to my e-mails, but she helped me organize my actual wedding day and execute my plan once she arrived. She did so much more than just photograph my wedding, including helping to make sure that the boys knew how to pin their boutonnieres on and helped keep me calm when I was super anxious. The pictures came out so beautifully and she made sure to capture the candid moments which she knew was important to us. She was so much fun to work with and I would absolutely recommend her to everyone.

We were so glad that we hired Melissa to take family photos to celebrate my parents' 40th anniversary. Melissa was incredibly responsive and easy to work with, and she kept us updated throughout the process. She did an amazing job with the photos, and she was especially wonderful with our young children. I would highly recommend her!

Melissa was absolutely amazing! We planned our wedding from over 1,000 miles away and we met Melissa on the day of our wedding. She was professional, incredibly efficient, fun, and gave very good directions for formal photos. Our pictures turned out beautifully! She captured bright colors, laughter, tears, and many lovely candid moments. We are so thankful we picked her for our big day. My family and friends also commented on how she genuinely looked like she was having a blast while taking photos at our reception. We highly recommend Melissa.

Melissa was wonderful, from the very first email contact through to the sending of our photos earlier than we expected. Clear. Personable. Funny. Unflappable. And oh so talented. She was there at all the right times, and (equally importantly) faded into the background at all the right times. Melissa managed to capture all the moments we wanted, and all the feelings we wanted, without our having to call her over to capture them, and the pictures are stunning. Highly recommended.

Melissa could easily be dubbed the MVP of our wedding. When I first reached out to Melissa I knew it would be a great fit. She and I exchanged countless emails on what the day would look like and the package that would work best for us. Even days leading up to the wedding as I was panicking that I didn’t reserve enough time with her, she was so supportive and reassured me that everything would be wonderful- exactly what I needed to hear. On the day of, she was wonder woman. She knew exactly when to step in with her bobby pins to secure my veil, bustle my dress, secure my groom’s bout, tell guests where to put their arms when taking a photo with me so as not to pull out my veil, or usher us away like a bodyguard so as to not let all of our guests see us before ‘I do’. These things alone were spectacular and invaluable; add the amazing photos and we couldn’t have been happier to have Melissa with us. Your wedding day goes by so fast, let me tell you, it is PRICELESS to be able to go through each photo and relive the day. Melissa has a wonderful way of capturing each important moment and carefully planned detail of your wedding. My husband and I can’t thank Melissa enough and highly encourage you to book her for your big day!

Melissa went above and beyond as our wedding photographer. She made us feel 100% comfortable and taken care of. From bustling my dress, helping to get a stain off a dress to completing a long list of group photos in efficient time. We were so thrilled to work with Melissa and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for an photographer who is also a jack of all trades, truly amazing.

Melissa was amazing! She sent out surveys beforehand to get the lowdown on all the wedding details - from the whose who in the wedding party and family to the feeling and vibe we wanted to create. Her personality fit perfectly with our friends and family and we had a blast working with her. The photographs are gorgeous, she worked with interior and outdoor lighting to create luminous images and captured really fun candids. Highly recommend!

From the moment that Chris and I met Melissa we knew that she was the perfect person to capture our day! Our first meeting with Melissa was in a coffee shop and she brought such a great mix of positive energy and calmness that put us both at ease. Chris is not a big fan of getting his picture taken and was weary about being the center of attention and having someone follow him around with a camera. After meeting Melissa he declared that he could probably handle hanging out with Melissa for the day. As we met with other photographers we found that we were constantly comparing them to Melissa and we signed a contract with her shortly after.
In our package we had engagement photos and we used Melissa's suggestion to meet in a local park in Exeter. I would highly recommend doing this as it got our jitters out of being in front of the camera. Melissa was great and kept us laughing the entire time. She has a batman-like utility belt for her cameras and switches back and forth while giving directions. We felt a little goofy but were in love with the photos when we got them.
Finally on the wedding day she was right on time, came in and met my family as we were getting ready. She was super helpful with everything and has a kit with fixes for anything that could happen. During the church ceremony she was like a ninja snapping shots, but blending into the background. Finally at the reception she made sure that all of my must have photos were taken including huge group shots. She took charge, making sure that we got the shots but were able to spend time with all of our family and friends celebrating with us. We got some AMAZING shots on the hill at the farm we were at and I can't choose which one I want blown up. During the reception events Melissa made sure my dress was always pulled up and that overall I was enjoying my day. I highly recommend her and hope that she will continue to photograph my big life events!!!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Melissa! She was AH-MAZING! She responded quickly to all my messages (email, facebook, etc.) and kept me at ease. She knew I was stressed planning a wedding in NH from another state and she helped me with anything she could. I chose her based recommendation from a friend and based off her website, which is fabulous. Her blog and her website let me see her personality and style which was totally what I was looking for. After chatting with her a little via emails and social media we booked my wedding! She gets to know you as a couple via a questionnaire which I thought was very smart. I was nervous never having met her in person, but when I finally got to meet her when I went to NH, she was very sweet!
Day of came and she was very organized. We had nailed down details about a month ahead of time via her worksheet she has you fill out as far as photography of family members you want, so when the day came she gathered everyone and called out the line ups and we got them done in a timely manner, but was not rushed, was just organized which I loved. Not only that, during the getting ready in the bridal suite, when my dress literally BROKE (a clasp broke on the back when closing me in the dress, she was ready with needle and thread and sewed me into my dress. Like...WHAT?! BEST photographer ever! Not only needle and thread, she had safety pins which she used to pin the bridesmaids dresses, and a whole slew of things in her bag! Dang! She literally saved the day!
Her package options are great, and competitive. She was the only photographer I had there but she can handle the job on her own. My pictures were done about a month after the wedding and I am in LOVE with them. She didn't miss a beat. She is phenomenal. I HIGHLY recommend!!

Melissa exceeded our expectations as our wedding photographer. She made us feel 100% comfortable from Day 1, and was so easy to connect with. Not only is this woman hilarious, but she takes amazing pictures, all of which look totally natural. We are not a naturally photogenic couple (actually quite awkward at times) but you wouldn't know it from her pics. She is some kind of wizard or something.

On my wedding day it rained and we had to change venues last minute. Melissa helped keep me sane as the day progressed and more or less was our second wedding coordinator on top of being the photographer. My coworker referred me to Melissa, and I am so happy that she did. Everything she said about her was true and I cannot recommend her services enough! Choose Melissa and you will not be disapointed.

Melissa is the BEST! We had a non traditional small wedding ceremony with just a handful of our family members but still wanted wonderful photos to capture our day. Melissa is so accommodating and it was really wonderful that she offered small wedding packages. She was extremely attentive leading up to our day, always quick with email responses. The day of, she helped calm me down, assisted with lacing up my dress, and was just overall a calming presence. And the photos - they came out absolutely amazing and just what we hoped for. We can't recommend her enough - she's a very talented photographer with reasonable prices and a great personality to boot. Her turnaround time for our photos was insanely fast and we were more than happy with the results. Book her now!

I can’t think of a better way to start my weekend. This morning I opened up my email and I had a message from Melissa “Wedding Pictures!!!”. I couldn’t have imagined that someone would have been able to capture our perfect day so beautifully, but Melissa went above and beyond. We could not be happier with our photos and I am so grateful that Sam and I will be able to relive that amazing day for the rest of our lives through her amazing images. I haven’t stopped looking at them all day, and will now probably get nothing done for the remainder of the weekend.
We met Melissa about a year ago when she did our engagement photos, and when she got my then-fiance/now-husband to actually smile in a photo, I knew she was the one for us! She didn’t disappoint. If you are looking for an amazingly professional photographer, and human “fix-it” kit, Melissa is your lady. She assisted with my dress, fixed my hair, made sure Sam and I ate, and was so kind to all of my guests.

Her work speaks for itself, but if reviews are your thing, here’s mine- She is absolutely amazing and we will be going back to her for all of our future photography needs.

Thank you Melissa, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for capturing our day so wonderfully. Xo

WoW...what is there to say about Melissa!? Well maybe the fact that she is THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHER IN THE WORLD!!! Just got our wedding photos back, after only 4 weeks, and they are so amazing!! Melissa has been amazing since day one, she is so much fun to be around and never made us feel awkward when taking our photos. On the day of the wedding she was more than just a photographer; she was a seamstress when my petticoat needed pinning, she directed guests where to go before the ceremony, she bustled my dress in record time...in other words...AMAZING! If you are in need of a photographer, just book Melissa, you won't be disappointed :)

We met Melissa when she photographed my sister's wedding, and we knew right then who our wedding photographer would be. She was literally the easiest vendor to work with in my entire wedding planning process. She is incredibly organized, thoughtful, responds to (ridiculous) questions quickly, has a great sense of humor, and had great input in helping us figuring out the details for our big day. The day of, she went above and beyond taking photos! She helped the groomsmen reposition their boutonnieres, fixed my hair on more than one occasion with bobby pins pulled from her fanny pack (life saver), and was even adjusting my straps and fixing my dress for me! She coordinated group pics of more than 15 people in a hot second..and even climbed into a fountain for the perfect shot. As someone who is incredibly awkward in front of a camera, when I saw our sneak peek pictures I literally almost died they are so perfect! Hire her! She will make your day fun, make you forget about the silly stupid things, and capture your big day in the most beautiful way! Can't wait to work with her in the future!

We loved Melissa! She was professional, kind, knowledgeable and helpful throughout the day. From the moment she walked in she helped with everything, from getting on my veil, to helping my bridesmaid's so the bustle, to effortlessly fixing my dress when someone(my groom) stepped on it and ripped it. And her pictures were fantastic. She really captured the genuine emotion throughout the day and we couldn't be happier! We'd love to use her again!

It was a year ago when I went on the elks in Gloucester website to look at their facility info when I stumbled across wedding pictures taken their. I fell in love with how gorgeous the pictures were and I had to find who was behind them. I contacted Melissa Koren via email and within minutes, she responded. This woman have a great personality, very professional, sweet, fun and so much more. Working with her felt like I ve known her for many years. She made us feel very comfortable and even made us laugh during our engagement shoot. She is truly a blessing. Edgar and I Thank you sooooooooo much Melissa for making our wedding a success. If ten was the highest level of stars, we would give you a 10??????????????. You are amazing. ??????

Melissa is a dream. We met her a year prior to the wedding to do our engagement photos, which were perfect. For the next year, Melissa was a sounding board for all sorts of wedding-related issues: wedding website design, bridesmaid dresses, etc. On my wedding day, when I was a bundle of nerves, Melissa helped keep me calm and grounded. She carries this Batman-esque utility belt with her; she whipped out a bandaid when I cut my finger open 10 minutes before the ceremony; bobby pins when my veil came loose. She even did my bustle in about 3 minutes flat. Our wedding pictures came back yesterday (within 4 weeks of the wedding!!!) and they captured our #bestdayever perfectly. If you're thinking about hiring Melissa - just do it. Now!!

Getting your photographs taken at your most intimate moments during your wedding should be handled with care. In being LGBT, having an LGBT friendly photographer was extremely important to us. I searched far and wide for someone who was talented, budget friendly, and of course LGBT friendly. We were so extremely fortunate to have found Melissa. We knew from the moment we met her at our engagement session that we were in good hands.

Every interaction was great, she gave us incredible advise regarding the day of set up and flow, what was important and what you could leave out (e.g first look timing, getting ready pictures, dancing shots etc). We really enjoyed the experience with Melissa.

Day of, there were a few small hiccups, but nothing that Melissa couldn't handle. The sun was outrageous that day, and although you think you want a sunny day at your wedding, 95 degrees and sunny is not something that works well for photography. I had to give up a few of my "photography spots" but Melissa made it work. She found beauty where we didn't and it showed in every photograph we received back from our wedding day. They are simply spectacular!

When you book Melissa you get a lot more than just a photographer --- On our wedding day, the one thing I didn't expect was to have to deal with my bustle every five minutes. However, every time my beautiful bride stepped on my train (yep that happened), Melissa was there to fix the bustle! I can't even describe how much it meant to me to have someone that was just "on it". She was my honorary bridesmaid all night. All the guests commented on how out of they way the photographers were but yet it seemed like they were everywhere. Capturing the moments that mattered and ensuring that we had enough shots of our friends and family as well.

We would recommend Melissa to anyone. She is a true artist at her trade. We look forward to working with her in the future as our family photographer!

There are really no words to describe how amazingly awesome Melissa is. Our wedding was anything but flawless yet she handled it with ease and grace. In addition to being an incredibly talented photographer, she was also a seamstress, sewing my bridesmaids dress when it ripped just before the wedding, coordinator, when the florist was late and she jumped in to communicate with other vendors and get the flowers in their place, and so, so much more. She seamlessly transitioned from one role to the next to help in any way that she could without ever being asked or expected to do so and never missing a beat.

Melissa carried herself with the perfect mixture of professionalism and personality. She was able to engage with our guests on a personal level, making family and friends feel comfortable. It was like we had known her for years and she fit right in!

Melissa was easy to work with and demonstrated countless times that she takes pride in and is passionate about her work, and that she genuinely cares about her clients wedding experience.

We loved that soon after the wedding Melissa released some sneak peeks of the edited photos, even adding a personal touch remembering my birthday and sending them on that day! Once we received all of our final photos we were blown away. She captured the beautiful scenery of our mountain wedding as well as candid moments, without us ever even knowing she was there. We will forever cherish our wedding album.

We would ABSOLUTELY recommend Melissa over and over again for anyone's special day!

I just received my photos from Melissa and am literally crying going through them all. They are so amazing and I am reliving our wedding photo by photo. Melissa was wonderful to work with from day 1 and was affordable. She was very responsive throughout the whole process and had a lot of good advice. I am a control freak and she was patient and willing to work with my ideas. On the day of, she was like an honorary bridesmaid, helping with my veil, the bustle and doing her best to keep us cool on a 95 degree day. I highly recommend her for your big day!

I cannot begin to express how amazing Melissa is. During our engagement process she was so sweet, genuinely wanting to connect with us despite the distance (we live in the mid-Atlantic but were married in NH in 2015) via email and over the phone. She sent us an adorable care package after we booked her, filled with chocolate, a book, and a great picture frame.
My husband and I are both rather shy and don't relish having our picture taken, which Melissa listened to and assured us that she would make the process during our wedding day as comfortable as possible. We met with her at our wedding site (Wentworth by the Sea, which she knew like the back of her hand!), and she was so down to Earth and approachable.
On the day of our wedding she was not only punctual, but early! She had a bag full of goodies ( I forgot to pack extra bobby pins or to ask for extras from the hair salon), and she had them. One of my bridesmaids forgot deodorant, she had some. After our ceremony, she quickly, efficiently, and promptly started calling out the groups of people she needed pictures of (grandparents, children, and then family/wedding party), and she was done with all the after ceremony pictures within 45 minutes. This left our wedding party free to enjoy the cocktail hour while my husband and I got a few minutes to ourselves (which, by the by, Melissa helped us convey to our wedding planner, as we were too pooped to say it on our own! We had an evening ceremony and by this point, we were both wiped)
She took gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous pictures; and we had them within a month of getting married. She was far and away one of the best decisions we made vendor wise for our wedding, and I would recommend her 1,000 times over!

Melissa had shot a wedding for a friend of ours a couple years earlier, and I knew from the second I saw her photos that I wanted her to be our photographer. She is a genius at capturing real "moments". It was super easy to get in touch with her and book her services. One of my favorite parts of the whole process was that she is very up-front with her pricing, and it is very reasonable. The booking process was completely stress-free. My husband (who hates posing for pictures) and I had a blast at our engagement shoot, and we are in love with the pictures!

As for the wedding, Melissa and her assistant went above and beyond. They were constantly snapping very thoughtful photos, but Melissa still somehow managed to help everybody get ready on time, bustle my dress, and be totally fun to hang out with. She really played a huge part in keeping things running smoothly all day. Her skill and professionalism were essential in making sure we had time for every photo we could have ever wanted during the cocktail hour. We can not wait to see our photos which we know will be absolutely breathtaking!!

Melissa is incredibly talented, efficient, professional, and such a sweet person. My sister recommended Melissa to us after she, her family and friends had used Melissa. Since day one of planning our wedding photography was on the top of my list to find the best of the best vendor. Let's be honest, weddings are quite frankly one of the best but fastest days of your life so pictures are THE most important thing you can have to look back on your day. When we met her we were immediately sold. Not only does she take incredibly beautiful pictures but she is just a fabulous person. She was so quick to respond to all of my emails, and she explained every little detail. We purchased a package which included an engagement session and our family and friends were blown away at how beautiful they were. When it came to our wedding day Melissa was on point, so professional and so fast. I thanked her via email the very next day. We recently received our pictures and were in complete awe at how beautiful they were and how she sent them to us(we were married 9/19). And I should add our package included all of the rights to our pictures!! If you are looking for a photographer that will do an amazing job, look no further. Melissa will amaze you

Highly recommend her!

Incredible experience! Melissa is the greatest, not only does she take great photos, but she has a bag of tricks that literally can save the wedding day! From broken dress bustles, hairspray failure, bridesmaid dress snafu, and your own nerves getting to you - she can help solve it all! We love the photos and are receiving so many compliments on them! Her response time to emails is incredible and knowledge of her field is so deep! She is incredibly professional and prepared on-site so portrait time is more efficient; allowing more time with your guests and loved ones. We highly recommend her and cannot wait to get together again soon!

From the moment we met with Melissa, we knew we wanted her as our photographer! She was absolutely FANTASTIC from her "bag of tricks" (as previously stated from former brides) to getting all the shots we wanted and then some! Melissa was on top of everything that day including helping my bridesmaids with my dress. We were blown away by the photos she captured and the turnaround time receiving the image files. She is responsive to any questions you have (even after the wedding is over). Look no further when searching for a photographer, you will not regret it!

What a wonderful experience! I knew the moment I met Melissa, she was the one! Not only is she an incredible photographer, but she is the perfect person to have by your side on your wedding day. Melissa and her bag of tricks are a necessity. Whether it is a string on your dress that needs to be cut or a difficult bustle on your dress, she does it all! She is professional, helpful and considerate. All of this and the pictures were absolutely amazing! We couldn't have made a better choice!

Melissa was absolutely fantastic, in every aspect of the photographer's job. She was responsive, personable, communicative, delightful. She made our wedding planning easier, as a result. We had confidence all the way through that we had hired someone to do phots we could trust to take care of every related detail.

On our wedding day, she was punctual and prepared. She took care of family and wedding party photos with a no-nonsense approach and a wonderful sense of humor. During the ceremony she was so discreet we forgot she was there and then were amazed at all the moments she managed to capture. Her photos absolutely tell the story of the event of our lives, beginning to finish. Priceless.

I simply cannot recommend Melissa highly enough.

If I could go higher than a 10 I would! if you want someone who will listen to your wants, needs, and fears and make everything better than you could ever dream of..Melissa is your perfect match. She made everything as easy as possible and went above and beyond. Not only did she take beyond amazing photos, she helped fix my hair and bustle my dress to make sure I looked perfect for every moment. She made me laugh when I wanted to cry and held the door shut when I wanted to run (just kidding..kind of) she was well prepared for the rain and made changes to the outdoor photos I desperately wanted so that I got my vision fulfilled. I will never go to another photographer again! if you want the best of the best, you have found it with Melissa!

Having Melissa and her assistant Nadia take our photos was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. They were so professional, considerate, fun, and friendly. They thought of everything and even helped with holding my dress, fixing my hair, etc. It was like having more bridesmaids. The pictures came out absolutely stunning, and I love the shots she created. She really captured the feeling of the day and I can't thank her enough.

Working with Melissa was amazing! She was extremely responsive leading up to the wedding with any questions that we had and also after the wedding to talk about the image files and designing our album. A lot of my recently married friends complained that their photographers didn't ask for a list of photos that they absolutely wanted of their day. Even having a wedding with only 10 guests Melissa made sure to ask for all the important shots we wanted and she got them all and then some! Her turnaround of the photos was so quick and our album is so beautifully designed that we just got it today and have already looked through it 5 times :) not only that, but she was able to get some GREAT shots of our crazy and not so cooperative pup! We would recommend Melissa to anyone and plan to work with her again in the future whenever we need a photo session!

Melissa was more amazing than anything we could have ever imagined. More than just a photographer, Melissa became our 'right-hand-woman' and helped us with everything from crowd control to the Bride's dress issues. She was very quick to respond to any email or phone call that we had, which made things very easy and stress-free on us. Her organization on our wedding day made it easy for us to get all of the photos that we wanted with zero stress or anxiety for us. After we got our photos (only about 6 weeks after our wedding!), we were blown away. They are absolutely beautiful. The quality and attention to detail in the photos were wonderful - definitely our style. She was also an incredible value! We were working on a fairly tight budget, but were still able to get amazing professional photos at the right price. We would highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

Melissa is, in a word, a rockstar. She’s cool, calm and collected on top of being super organized, professional and most importantly, uber-talented. And she is so much more than a photographer – on our wedding day, she helped me with my dress, finagled the necklace I was wearing so that it hung just the way I wanted to, and knew to get all of the formal shots with our 4 year old flower girl, who was slowly getting impatient, done first. She even at one point had my veil on so that it wouldn’t have to be on the ground when I took it off! We just received our pictures and we are in love with all of them. Her style is exactly what we were going for. I specifically did not want any “cheesy” wedding photos – forced and unnatural. Melissa’s style is very natural which I think makes for the best pictures. Plus we got all kinds of different shots – from formal to candid to black and white – it will be hard to choose which ones we want for our album. I highly recommend Melissa for anyone that is looking for a photographer!

Melissa was amazing. Not only did she capture our wedding beautifully, but she was so nice, professional, and discrete. She knew all the tricks! She helped me get into my wedding dress, and fixed my bustle (TWICE!) with a little sewing kit she brought. She handled all the personalities of my family, and was an absolute pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!

From the moment my husband and I met Melissa we knew we wanted her as our photographer. Every example she had was exactly the type of photography we wanted to capture our wedding. Every image she showed us, I pictured myself and my husband as the models. Black and white, scenic, natural and fun! Oh did I mention beautiful? She handled herself we'll working with our "witty" groomsmen and all of the loud Italian guests. There is a great mix of photos from formal to party. Thank you MKP! What a great way to remember our perfect day!!

I've been meaning to write this review for a while because Melissa deserves it. She went above and beyond for our wedding. She was a phenomenal photographer and a great person. She was very easy to talk to and really knew what she was doing. She also saved me from a few dress catastrophes. We had a very large wedding party and she handled it very well. Our pictures came out amazing- we love them all. We recommend Melissa to anyone who is looking for a photographer. FANTASTIC

Melissa is an amazing person and photographer. From day one when I met with her, I knew she was the right one for our wedding. We did our engagement photo session with her about a year before the actual wedding---and had so much fun! She kept in touch throughout the year and we had a game plan for the day of---this made getting all those group shots so very easy! She is wonderful to work with and came prepared---and by this I mean she came prepared with garment tape, safety pins, band aids, you name it! She was even right there, safety pin in hand assisting me with my bustle when it was stepped on during the dancing!! I am in love with my sneak peak photo and can't wait to see the rest! I have already recommended her to friends and can't wait to work with her again in the future!

We are always so pleased with Melissa's pictures and we can't say enough about her. She's easy to work with, produces an outstanding result and the cherry on top is that she has affordable packages for any budget. We feel so lucky to have her as our photographer and we look forward to many more beautiful pictures to come!!

Melissa was absolutely phenomenal. She is funny, sweet, patient, professional and very talented. I wanted to meet her after I first saw a wedding picture she had taken online. And after we got together for coffee to chat about weddings and photography, my husband and I were completely sold. I truly have far too many good things to say about her, so I will try to keep this brief. She was on point and brought with her everything I might have forgotten on the big day (stockings, wine bottle opener, sewing kit, aspirin, clear nail polish, etc.). We had so much fun with Melissa -- it felt like we’ve known her forever. The photos came out beautiful. She caught moments as they happened naturally and the photos really tell the story of the day and all of its emotions. She will definitely be taking family pictures for us in the future!

Melissa was a pleasure to work with on our big day. She was very helpful with the planning process as I planned our wedding without professional help. She offered guidance in timing our whole event & during the event went the extra mile to help. She and her assistant did a great job capturing the moment and using humor during the family shots while staying in the background during the event so our guests could enjoy themselves. I can't wait for the final results!

Melissa is nothing short of absolutely amazing! There are plenty of photographers who can pose people and capture a picture. Melissa goes so far beyond that and captures the people and feelings behind a picture. we were so happy with our wedding photos that three years later when we welcomed our daughter she was the only person we would trust with capturing those first photos as well. There is no one better!

Melissa was fantastic from day one. I interviewed a TON of photographers - thanks to her prices, great portfolio, and wonderful personality, she was an easy hire! She was flexible and always prompt to my emails/questions. Melissa photographed our engagement session, my boudoir session, and our wedding - and her work was consistently out of this world! She was so great to be around that I now consider her my friend! Just hire her, you honestly won't regret it!!

Melissa was the best photographer I could have asked for. She is extremely personable, funny and witty. She stepped in to help tie me into my dress, as well as when the bustle hook on my dress broke, pulling out safety pins from her bag of tricks. How many photographers are prepared to do this?? She took all our portraits efficiently, and has a knack for catching the important candid moments which I think really help in remembering all the details of your special day. She showed up a few minutes early, stayed a few minutes late, and offered to stay longer if we needed! I got a sneak peek of a picture of our event, and cannot wait for the rest! She is amazing! When we have the need for another photographer, we plan to use her- which says a lot because we live in NJ!! DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!!

Well, let me begin by saying you will not find a better photographer in this price range in the whole New Hampshire area. Believe me, I looked. I was planning this wedding from overseas, so I spent hours googling photographers, looking at websites, reading reviews, etc. Well, let me tell you, if you are considering using Melissa, just stop! Stop looking for other photographers, I mean. Because, you found her. She was so much more than a photographer. She helped me get into my dress (who knew you were supposed to lace it from the top?) had food on hand in case I had forgotten to eat (which I did) and was just generally so supportive and kind. She was friendly, but also very efficient. She was so so nice, but knew how to get people around for the group photos without sounding overbearing or bossy. She was so unobtrusive, I barely even noticed she was there for the whole wedding! After getting through the group shots in much less time than I thought it would take, she melted into the background. But, looking through my amazing gallery of 600 pictures, she did not miss a THING. Looking through my pictures was like reliving the wonderment and beauty of the day, and seeing some bonus materials! You will be amazed at how many little moments she captured that you missed. So, please, stop looking. What you will get here is so much more than a photographer who takes great pictures. You will get someone who genuinely cares about you, and making your day wonderful. Melissa's love of photography is clear to anyone who meets her. I never even once got the feeling that she was just doing this for the paycheck, and I have never been happier to pay someone for their services than I was with Melissa. I could probably go on longer, but I'll stop it here. Seriously! Hire her! You will NOT regret it!

Melissa is so fantastic! Not only is she an amazing person with a great personality and sense of humor but she's an incredible photographer. She became a fast friend to my husband and I and we feel very lucky!

When I first met Melissa and saw her work it was obvious how passionate she is about this job and I was confident she would capture every special moment of my wedding.

Melissa went out of her way to help me with everything! She helped my wedding party correctly tighten the corset in my dress (thank you), she helped me keep the event timeline running smoothly (photos, speeches, etc) since I did not have a DJ or a wedding coordinator. She also helped my husband and I by giving us instructions on how to begin the cake cutting!

Also, I can't remember what it was because the day FLEW by but I rememeber while we were getting ready she whipped out at least three magical items from her bag of tricks to help me and my wedding party.

It has only been two weeks since my wedding so I can NOT wait to see the photos. I've only seen a couple of sneak peak photos and I'm dying for the rest! =)

I already have a cousin and an old high school classmate using Melissa for their upcoming weddings and I won't stop reccomending her so book fast if you have an upcoming event! ♥

When we chose Melissa to be our wedding photographer, we had no idea that we would also be getting a seamstress/medic/extra bridesmaid extraordinaire! She was WONDERFUL and literally saved the day about 8 times. Example: when someone stepped on my gown and broke my bustle during the reception, she dropped her camera, whipped out a sewing kit, and sewed me a new bustle in 2 minutes flat. AMAZING. Throughout the day, she was calm, relaxed, and professional, but at the same time, she kept everything moving so that we could get inside and enjoy our reception.

On top of being just all around awesome, Melissa took incredible photos; we literally sat at the computer crying and laughing out loud as we looked through them. Bottom line-- anyone can take a picture, but it takes an artist to capture a moment, and Melissa does just that. We highly recommend her!

Melissa is the best photographer EVER!!!! Not only is she talented, which can be seen through her BEAUTIFUL photographs, but she has such a great personality! She rode in the limo with us, danced with us, and still managed to take pictures at the same time! She was incredibly helpful with everything, including helping with my bustle and taking my veils out of my hair! I just can't believe how great she is!

She makes formals go by quickly and smoothly, and she made sure we got all of our must-have photos as well! I just can't say enough good things about Melissa. She is the nicest and most talented photographer out there!!!! I am so glad we used her for our wedding!

Simply AMAZING!! When planning my wedding, booking my photographer was one of the most important pieces to me. I wanted to look at photos of people I didn't know and feel the emotion of the moment, Melissa's photos did that for me. When contacting her she was always prompt and helpful. She really makes booking her easy! Then the day of every brides worst nightmare... my zipper on my dress breaks. No worries with Melissa, she just breaks out her sewing kit, (complete with band-aids and shout wipes) and just sewed me right in all the while keeping me cool so I wouldn't freak out! She did such a good job one of my bridesmaids had to get scissors from the front desk at our venue to cut me out! Not only this but she paid attention to every detail, she corralled our rowdy bunch and made our photos fun and fast. You are really getting way more than you pay for with Melissa! If you are smart you will book her now!

First of all, I absolutely ADORE Melissa as a person, her work is the icing on the cake. My (now) husband and I were on a very strict budget, as we were footing most of the bill for our big day! We wanted the big, fancy, all-out wedding with all the trimmings! When looking for a photographer (keeping budget in mind) I looked for someone who captured "those" moments. You know what I'm talking about... the moments that no one else sees... the interesting, thought provoking photos of all the details, large or small.... Melissa just got it. Upon meeting with her, we instantly fell in love with her and her work and there was no other option in our mind, she was the photographer for us. Her prices are EXTREMELY reasonable, especially when you take into consideration the quality of her work. She's not afraid to get down on the ground to find that just right angle that will produce an amazing photo. She really captured the essence of our big day and what I love most is, I can relive that entire experience, start to finish, just by looking at the photos. I have recommended her, and will continue to recommend her, to everyone I know who needs a photographer for any occasion.

I had been searching for a photographer for a few weeks when a neighbor referred us to Melissa. Being a "do-it yourself" bride, I was given a lot of advice on what I should pay, what I should look for, does she use a good digital camera...etc, etc. (I'm sure you get the picture-no pun intended.) My (now) husband and I met with her and immediately felt comfortable. She is fun and witty and knowledgeable about her field. Not to mention her prices are great if you're on a budget like we were. Melissa made us WANT to get our pictures taken by her. We planned some engagement photos and had a really good time with her as we walked around. What I liked best about the session was that she was open for anything and took into account that they were OUR pictures. She wanted to make them mean something. And she did. We used them around our reception. On the day of our wedding though, she ROCKED, for lack of a better word. Not only did she take amazing pictures of everything and anything, she helped pin boutonnieres on the groomsmen and fathers, she preformed emergency surgery on my bustle when it kept dragging, and she made us laugh the whole time. Melissa is truly a great photographer because she knows the ins and outs of her trade and recognizes the importance of laughter and simplicity on a day you'll remember for the rest of your life. We'll be using her for years and years to come. We highly recommend her!

Melissa was nothing short of AMAZING! Even though I was running late on the day of the wedding, she had already photographed my dress and many other things before I got there to save time. She helped me calm down and kept her cool despite dealing with a very cranky and overtired bride (me). She even helped put on the groomsmen's boutonnieres when we got to the venue. In our opinion (my husband and I), the best part and most fun part of the whole wedding was when she took us away to do our photos together.
Despite all this, the photos are incredible! Every time I look back at the pictures from the wedding, I see something new and think, "wow," it's like she was in ten places at the same time. I highly suggest Melissa to photograph your wedding.

Melissa Shot our wedding In September of 2010. She was the first photographer we interviewed and after speaking with her, we canceled all our other appointments. Her artistic flare was evident from her website, but meeting with her in person to view her portfolios was an experience in and of itself. Each photograph my husband and I saw seemed to be alive with the atmosphere of the wedding. What impressed us the most was that no two pictures were alike – and no two wedding collections were the same. Melissa seemed to capture each couple’s individuality and allowed her pictures to tell their story. My husband and I were instantly impressed by this. Melissa herself spoke about her passion for her work and the joy of photographing weddings.
Everyone who has seen our photos is so impressed – each of them say that mine and Shawn’s personality jump off the page. If you never knew us, or how much we loved each other these pictures show that . Three months later, after looking at them millions of times, I still get emotional; and to me that is the mark of a great photograph – you never tire of it, and looking at it brings up so many memories. Melissa did this with each photograph, with each proof.
Being photographed by Melissa was a terrific experience. Not only was she fun to work with, but she was so excited to work with us. Again, this set her apart for me. I have been to so many weddings where the photographer treats it as a job – get in, take the picture, get out – but for Melissa, there is nothing monotonous or rigid about shooting a wedding. She walks into each “job” as a new and exciting experience. She leaves all expectations at the door and tries her best to capture the essence of the couple and their love for each other.
Her genuine love for her work, her passion, sense of adventure, and her easy going personality have made Melissa a true pleasure to work with. I would recommend Melissa Koren Photography to anyone and look forward to doing our family portraits with her for the years to come.

I don't have enough words to describe how happy I am with my wedding photos. Melissa did an AMAZING job. I was so suprised when I saw them. She was extremely unintrusive -- I don't even remember seeing her too much (although, it WAS a very overwhelming day), but she always seemed to pop out of nowhere whenever someone stepped on my bustle (which happened a LOT) to help fix it. She was so helpful before and during the wedding, through everything. When we had first met with photographers, we met with one that I loved her pictures, but she had absolutely no personality, and didn't say boo when we met with her, and was kind of pricey to be able to get everything that we wanted. The second was much more in our budget, but came off to me like a used car salesman, and the pictures weren't very good at all. (Why have an affordable all-inclusive package when the pictures look like crap?)...But Melissa was JUUUST right. She is very friendly and personable, and her pictures are amazing for a great price. We just got our pictures two days ago, and I am already trying to choose some for our album, and it is too hard when I love them all! I would HIGHLY recommend Melissa for yor wedding, and I think we will be calling her for pictures when we start our family!

If you are thinking of asking Melissa to take your wedding photos, do so immediately! You will not find a more talented and artistic photographer to illuminate your day. You will get so much more than pictures because this is not just a job to her, it is her passion. The photographs are works of art, and you get to be in them.

Not only is Melissa an amazing artist, but she is exceedingly professional. She corresponds with you often to make sure she captures exactly what you envision. Melissa is just wonderful to work with and you will feel so happy and lucky to get her. -Ali and Andrew 7/2/2010

Melissa did amazing work where I believe most people would dare to tread! She traveled to Washington, DC in the middle of winter to shoot our outdoor wedding and we couldn't have asked for anything better! She shot our rehearsal dinner and clicked immediately with our families and wedding party! Upon getting ready the morning of the wedding, I started to focus more on the "traditional" shots than getting ready and Melissa gently reminded me to focus on my day and that she would take care of the photos... and how right she was! Throughout the whole day, she was right there, capturing every moment- and contributing with her personality and smile when a camera wasn't needed. The one thing that she told me at the end of the night that I still remember like it was yesterday was when I thanked her for all of her help and she told me that she was "here to make sure that you have the perfect day."

The photos take my breath away everytime I view them. I'm swept back to that day and get completely lost in the memories. She captured everything- the tender moments between myself and my husband, the celebration of two (big!) families coming together, and the overwhelming amount of happiness that was shared by everybody there. I couldn't have asked for more timeless keepsakes of such a special day.

Melissa was fantastic! She was the second photographer that we met with for our Sept 2009 wedding and we knew right away that she was the one for us. She was so easy to talk to, her price was just right for us, and she didn't try to sway us with a salesman-type approach (which we were really turned off from with the 1st photographer). When the big day came, Melissa was right there to capture it all in such a non-intrusive way. We had a very fun, somewhat crazy bridal party and Melissa seemed to be the perfect match for them. We had such a great time taking the family and bridal party shots. We were so impressed when we first received the link from Melissa with all of our photos. I didn't want to stop looking at them! We would highly recommend Melissa Koren Photography to anyone looking for a great photographer in NH!

Hiring Melissa was probably one of the best decisions we made with our wedding. There are so many little moments that fly by with the day - and she captured so many of them perfectly, both as I remembered them, and as she saw them with her artful eye. My husband and I couldn't get over how many photos she took and how all of them are keepers! Melissa couldn't be more kind or dedicated to the art of photography and capturing all your wedding day moments. I recommend her to any other couple without hesitation.

I have known Melissa since Junior High... and have been very lucky to be able to witness her turn into a truly phenomenal photographer. When it came time for me to choose my engagement and wedding photo vendor, there was no hesitation when booking my old friend!

I could not have been happier with the shots that she got, how effectively and efficiently she herded my wedding party, making sure she got what she needed in order to get me some beautiful photos. The weather on the day left a bit to be desired, but when I see the pictures, it's almost hard to tell that we were dealing with a chilly, drizzly rain!

Some of my favorite pictures are of the non-posed variety, when she just magically happened to be shooting at the exact right time to catch something funny or heartwarming...

I am nothing short of thankful for the amazing memories she has captured for me.

Melissa was a life savor for my now husband Chris and I. Two weeks before our wedding we found out that our photographer we had booked could no longer shoot us. I was in a panic. I was telling my hairdresser about the situation we were in, she recommend Melissa to us. She was wonderful, I called her about 10 days before the wedding, and she meet with me right away. She was super sweet and really listened to what Chris and I had wanted and to what was important to us for our big day. She was in contact with us and kept us up to date on our photo's. When we got our photo's I was speechless. I watched the slideshow's not once but twice and cried everytime. Our pictures were BEAUTIFUL!!! She captured moments I don't remember happening. I love love love our wedding photo's. Chris and I can not thank Melissa enough for giving us wonderful photo's of our special day. I would recommend Melissa Koren Photography to any bride and groom that is looking for a photographer for there big day!!!

I highly reccommend Melissa to anyone in need of an excellent photographer!

From the moment we met Melissa for our engagement shoot, we felt totally comfortable working with her. Even though we felt like we'd known Melissa forever because of her friendliness and easy going personality, she was also extremely professional. She knew just what shots would look good and was full of energy! Between the engagement shoot and the wedding we had tons of email contact with Melissa and she would always respond within minutes to our questions. The day of the wedding, Melissa arrived right on time and took so many amazing pictures for us. When we received our proofs online (over 600 pictures) I couldn't BELIEVE all of the wonderful pics she'd taken. One of the best things was that nobody even saw her taking many of the pics, because she was so deliberate and tactful to make sure not to be overintrusive in the wedding! All of our family and friends were so impressed with photos that two of my friends are going to book Melissa for their upcoming weddings as well. Obviously, I can't say enough great things about Melissa Koren and her photography! Our expectations were not only met but FAR exceeded and I will absolutely contact Melissa anytime I need another event photographed. Thank you so much, Melissa for capturing every moment of our special day!!!!

There is no need to spend thousands of dollars for quality, artistic photography! Melissa Koren has such a unique eye...we have received numerous compliments on both our engagement photos and wedding photos. They are incredibly unique and beautiful. She is also very easy to work with, completely professional, and personable. We highly recommend her services!

Melissa was fabulous! So fun to work with and she made us feel relaxed and at ease, and didn't lose her patience when our families were not cooperating with the group photos! She is a pro at what she does and everything else--she literally sewed my dress back together during our reception after the button on my bustle fell off. We were so happy with our pictures and would recommend her services to anyone!!

Melissa is alot of fun to work with. Make sure to tell her exactly what you want. The one thing that was hard for us was how relaxed she was when it came to formals. You want someone to direct you not having to direct them and the wedding party. Other then that she got most of the pictures we wanted. We overall had a great time with her.
