    Do yourself a favor & book with MWP!

    Melissa is the bomb.com. My husband and I grew up in Pensacola but live in Vegas now due to military service, so we are planning our belated reception remotely. She worked with us in getting our “engagement” shoot done on a visit home and has been so helpful in working all the other details out so far.

    She has captured our love beautifully in our engagement shoot, so I can’t WAIT to see what she does for our reception! Her edits are detailed, classic and timeless. She keeps things super fun and natural during shoots, so no worries if you’re not used to posing for the camera! She’s got ya covered. Good, quality photos can cost a pretty penny for some, but rest assured Melissa is worth every penny. I booked her before I booked anything else for our event - one decision I wasn’t torn on! Get on her books! You won’t regret it.

    Most personable!

    I love working with Melissa!!! As a wedding planner I’ve worked with quite a few photographers, and she is the best- I always know it will be a great day with her and the pictures will be GORGEOUS. Hands down, a great investment. Hire her.

    Best Photographer Ever

    I could cry happy tears! Melissa is by far the most genuine, talented, and personable person I have ever met. She surpassed all of our expectations for our engagement and wedding photos. I highly recommend Melissa! Everyone who has seen my wedding photos has commented on the talent Melissa has. And on top of that she makes the photo sessions so fun and natural. Do yourself a favor and hire her!!!

    Stop looking - this is your gal!

    Melissa is the real deal! We started getting to know her over a cup of coffee and it quickly became clear to us that she was "the one". From the start, she was personable, down-to-earth, and knew her stuff. We used her for our engagement shoot, which she has us laughing through the entire thing! She helped create some fantastic memories! I even did a surprise boudoir session for my husband. She kept me relaxed and hyped me up when I needed it. On our wedding day, she worked well with our coordinator, DJ, and catering staff. She handled all of our requests without flinching and got all the best angles of us, our family, the ceremony, and the venue. I can not recommend this lady enough!

    Simply amazing!

    Melissa is one of the most kind humans we have encountered. She shot my sisters wedding and we knew we had to have her for ours as well. She did an amazing job for our engagement photos, but let me tell you... our wedding sneak peeks have just about blown me away. I get so emotional looking at them. Your wedding day goes by so fast and looking back at some of the photos that I have seen so far allow me to relive that day and all of the emotions we felt. Hire Melissa if you want to be able to relive those feelings of your wedding day over and over every time you look at your photos. We will have her capture all of our special moments to come. We are so glad we had such a special person to capture one of the most special days of our lives. We love you, Melissa! Thanks for being the best of the best.

    Phenomenal

    I honestly cannot say enough good things about Melissa Wilson. She captured our wedding in a way that I didn’t know was even possible. If you are looking for a photographer that provides stunning pictures and also makes you feel like a part of her family then Melissa is your girl. I can’t thank her enough for the incredible pictures!

    Melissa is the best

    Melissa is truly the best. She has an amazing, positive energetic personality and produces some of the most gorgeous photos. She loves capturing people in their natural element and she really managed to photograph the essence of our relationship. From the engagement photos to the wedding day, she has been a dream to work with. She’s been incredibly responsive to text and emails (woman was so pleased with one of our photos that she actually texted it to us the night of the wedding!). I can not recommend her enough. And, even more than that, she’s affordable and has great packages. Truly one of the best.

    Melissa you are a rockstar! Thank you for capturing our love just right! So happy with the photos and the process of taking the photos. Such close attention to our wants/needs and your personality definitely makes the picture-taking that much more fun! Both the boudoir and the wedding photos are perfect!

    We are so glad we chose Melissa Wilson to be our photographer for our wedding day last month!! I'm so happy she was able to travel to our wedding in Sandestin! We couldn't have been happier with her services! She helped me plan for 9 months prior to the wedding!! She was great, fun to work with, great customer service & professional, she wasn't just our photographer but has became a friend as well! All our guests loved her at the wedding, words just can't describe how much we loved having her there & we loved how she interacted with our guests & made things fun and not uncomfortable for all of us! Our sneak pics are wonderful and we can't wait to see the rest!! We highly recommend her as a photographer for any occasion!

    Melissa is such a fun person and an awesome photographer. She really knew how to keep the mood light during a stressful day! I could not be happier with my engagement photos and the few wedding cermony photos that I have seen so far! She is very responsive and willing to help out any way she can!

    Beyond every other adjective that accurately describes Melissa - like professional, punctual, flexible, talented, and artistic - the most important is genuine. Melissa genuinely loves her job. She's genuinely excited about your marriage. Conversations with her are genuine and casual and fun. We clicked from the moment we first spoke on the phone, and her presence is just as magnificent as her photos! I'm convinced there's nothing she can't excel at. If you want someone that can show all of the feelings of your wedding through photographs, she should be your first choice: you get expertly crafted photographs - from posed portraits to candids to everything in between - and it's worth every penny. Bottom line: if you don't give her a call, you're missing out on not only good photos, but also a great person.

    Melissa provides top notch photography. She is very personable and made me feel so very special. I felt like we had known each other forever and I was very comfortable with her. She was also very sweet and kind to my not-so-cooperative 2 year old daughter during pictures. I highly recommend Melissa.

    I got say enough wonderful things about Melissa. She was recommended by Jessie at Margaritaville Beach Hotel, where our wedding took place. Melissa actually took our engagement photos along with photographing our wedding. On a weekend trip to New Orleans (where we're from) with her husband, she shot our engagement pictures in City Park. She makes you feel comfortable from the first minute, and I promise you will love her work. Thanks, Melissa!

    Melissa is incredible! I was concerned about the weather on wedding morning, but Melissa quickly came up with some other options for the ceremony and I LOVED how things turned out. She was up for anything, and was willing to take pictures in the rain because I wanted outdoor beach pictures so badly. Her husband was at the wedding helping her, and they were both so sweet. Melissa quickly posted some preview pictures on Facebook the next day, and we are so excited to see the rest- they are beautiful! Melissa's work is incredible, she is very talented, and we will travel back to Pensacola in the future to have her take family pictures.

    Aside from Melissa's obvious style and keen eye for capturing beauty, Melissa professionally and effortlessly (or seemingly so) captures every shot needed for the "big day." She offers a great amount of time to get all shots needed and works nonstop on your day. My best friend's beautiful wedding will never be forgotten! Thank you Melissa!

    If I let myself write all of the amazing things I could say about Melissa, this review would be pages long! :) Melissa is an absolute joy to work with and I am amazed at how incredibly talented she is. She loves what she does and it really shows in all of her work. Our engagement photos were stunning and I am blown away by my wedding photos I've seen! I would recommend Melissa to absolutely anyone!!! <3
