    Quality Photos and Great Experience

    We had a fantastic experience with Pixiewed. Quality photos were in my top 3 most important things for my wedding. Melvin was very responsive during the planning process. I had Dalia and Alberto as the photographers for my wedding and they were fantastic! They arrived on time and got right to work shooting the details photos. They made the posed portraits quick and easy (neither of us have much patience for posed photos). I also had asked for a lot of candid photos of our guests and they delivered! All of my photos turned out amazing! Even the unedited ones are gorgeous on their own! Melvin did a fantastic job editing our photos and we got them back 5 DAYS after the wedding! I would highly recommend Pixiewed. Thank you so much for capturing our wedding!

    Engagement session

    Yesterday 10/13/2023 we had our engagement photoshoot with melvin and it was incredible he was so professional. We had a location but it didnt work out and he was so understanding and even offered to move locations and we trusted him and went and it was incredible it was less crowded and we were able to relax and enjoy our shoot. He made us laugh so our pictures can have a realistic reaction and explained every step so we understood and saw his vision. I cant wait to see the final results and ultimately see the results of our wedding! Im so glad we found pixiewed! I recommend 100%!! Thank you melvin!

    Hire him before he is booked up!!!!

    Photography was the most important things to me and choosing Pixiewed was the best choice I could of made. Melvin is AMAZING!!!!! I literally LOVE HIM!!! He guided my husband and I through taking photos, send me pictures ideas of what to wear for our engagement pictures, has a long list of locations to take pictures at. I was such a difficult bride but he truly had all the patience in the world with me. He was not only my photographer, but my psychologist. He was by my side throughout the wedding the whole time!!!! He ate when I was eating which was like 15 mins and then came back and got every picture I told him I wanted. Besides the venue, my guest always bring up how awesome my photography and videography was!! No one ever stops talking about the drone and how cool it was to have that at my wedding. I am very indecisive and he gave me an honest opinion about everything. I was extremely picky with everything and he always found time to work with me and to make me truly happy!!!!! I have so many bad things to say about all my other vendors, but not Pixiewed. BOOK THEM!!! You won't regret it!

    They're the BEST

    Melvin is phenomenal. He’s so patient and kind - and offers a lot of great ideas and suggestions. He did my fiancée and I’s engagement shoot and Save The Date video, and our family is absolutely obsessed!!! Everything came out so well. Might I add, it was the middle of July in San Antonio, TX. We were hot!! But you cannot tell from the Save the Date video. Melvin’s quality of work is completely outstanding. The video was a dream come true!! One thing to add is that we originally had another photographer/videographer prior to Melvin. They were awful. We had cut all ties with them. I was upset and wondering “what to do” when information on Pixiewed came through the mail. What a great sign!! WORK WITH MELVIN!!

    Engagement Session

    My fiance and I worked with Melvin for our engagement pictures. Melvin was funny, full of energy, and easy to work with. Melvin really utilized the whole park and took his time with us. He paid attention to details like lighting, shadows, and natural props. Melvin gave pointers, positive feedback, and also took our suggestions. We appreciate him driving up from Houston to a place of our choice. We also appreciate the quick turn around of the photos. The pictures looked great!! We look forward to working with Melvin's team for our big day. Thank you Melvin

    Best photographer ever!!

    They did such an amazing job with our wedding!! They were truly a one stop shop, they did our photography, videography and photo booth! After the wedding they sent us all of the photos and videos on a hard drive for us to keep! We loved having them capture all of the moments for our special day!

    The Best Decision

    If you haven't hired videography for your event, this is your sign to hire Pixiewed. Melvin and his team were absolutely wonderful to work with. The package I purchased included a drone along with the videographer. I was sad and anxious when he told me it could take 4-16 weeks to get my videos. WELL... to my complete and wonderful surprise, Melvin sends me the video link TODAY! Just 2 weeks after my wedding. You might think if we got the work back so quickly that it may not be great, but you would be wrong!
    I cried when I saw the highlights video. I've watched it several times. All the best moments were beautifully captured and pieced together, including the voice over of our vows. Even my bridesmaids and MIL complemented the video.
    I've heard horror stories about other videographers, but I am so so so happy I trusted Pixiewed to capture my wedding. I can't thank Melvin and team enough for their amazing work.

    Such an amazing experience

    Pixiewed his crew were simply amazing. They went over and beyond every expectation we had for them. Our wedding and engagement pictures were superb. Our highlight video is simply perfection as is our movie and wedding video footage.
    I give Pixiewed 5 stars only because I can not give 10 stars. Thank you my friend. This groom is blessed by your work and your friendship. My wife and I are pleased beyond words and highly recommend Pixiewed for all your wedding or photography needs.

    Best Wedding Vendor!

    Hiring Melvin for our wedding photography was the best decision we could’ve made and he was definitely our favorite vendor on our big day. Melvin not only spent 10 hours the day-of shooting our wedding, but also took our engagement photos and my bridal portraits. All of his work turned out absolutely beautiful and I will treasure it forever. I also have to commend him for his quick turnaround time and prompt communication. We received all of our wedding photos within one month and all of the engagement and bridal photos within a week. Thank you, Melvin!!

    BOOK THEM! Highly recommended!!

    I hired Pixiewed for my wedding in February. Throughout the planning process Melvin was very professional and available to answer any questions that we had. Wedding week they emailed us to ensure that we were both on the same page. Wedding day, they communicated to me when they were on their way and even arrived before their scheduled time to begin getting drone footage. As soon as we arrived to the venue they begin getting all of the shots I requested and I could tell it was very important to them to get all of the shots that we asked for. With a very large group of groomsmen and bridesmaids, the team was able to heavily direct us, which is what we needed to keep everyone in line and ensure the shots get captured, while still keeping it fun! Shorty after getting home from our honeymoon we were prepared to wait another month at least to receive content as people do before their photos are ready. HOWEVER, Melvin surprised us with our wedding video and a social media teaser after only one week! Again, he texted to let us know he emailed it to us to ensure we would not miss it and already had the links to all the different formats we might need. Then, less than another week later he surprised us again with all of our edited wedding photos! He got all the shots we asked for and more. They were stunning! And our wedding video captured all of the sweet moments of our day. When sending us the raw photos and videos, he again notified us and gave us all the tracking information. Lastly, they wanted to ensure we were completely satisfied and offered to make any adjustments to the editing of the videos and photos but it was not necessary because everything was already perfect. I highly recommend Pixiewed because they are extremely affordable, professional, great at communicating, and most of all talented! Thank you Pixiewed for capturing our day and giving us photos and videos to look back on for generations.

    Amazing pictures and a joy to work with!

    Pixiewed shot our wedding a few years ago and my wife and I still talk to this day about the quality of the end product and the pleasure it was to work with Melvin. It truly was the best day of our lives and Melvin captured the day perfectly.  He was very amenable to our schedule and asks. He brings professionalism, creativity, and joy to his work that is perfect for making everyone feel comfortable and getting one-of-a-kind pictures. I can’t recommend Melvin and Pixiewed enough!

    Melvin was the exact photographer I always hoped to have at my wedding. He was personable, easy to talk to, and listen to my preferences (and it goes without saying that he's very talented, anyone who looks through his portfolio can see that for themselves). I asked him to give everyone a lot of direction, as we are not very photogenic, and he did exactly that. The result was a batch of magnificent photos to remember the day. If I ever have another event that I need a photographer for, Melvin Gilbert will be my #1 choice, hands down.

    What can I say other than, Melvin is amazing! He is very nice and fun to work with. Whenever i had a question he was always quick to reply. On the day of the wedding he was early and already at the venue when I got there. His Photos are beautiful and couldn't be happier. Another plus is he was able to give us a few sneak peaks to a few of the pics just days after the wedding. :0)

    Melvin Gilbert is a highly recommended photographer. I cannot even begin to explain how great our experience is with this guy, from planning to the day of our wedding he was always on top of things and you can reach him anytime to answer ANY questions or concerns you may have. His professionalism, knowledge in his craft, creativeness, and personality is something you immediately sense when you meet him. He is dedicated and very passionate at what he does and it shows in his work. My wedding photos came out AMAZING! he captured the love and beauty that surrounded us and it is truly something my husband and I will treasure for the rest of our lives. I am so glad to have had the pleasure of working with him.

I also liked that he kept in touch with us before and after our wedding to assure everything came out the way we wanted. I also really liked hos creative touch in how he posed us and made every picture unique. I highly recommend him for weddings and was truly happy with the way our wedding pictures came out.

    My fiancé and I had the opportunity to work with Melvin at the Heritage Square in Phoenix, Az. I can truly say that Melvin is truly talented! Melvin gave us tips and directions one after another that made us feel comfortable and confident in him and throughout the shoot. We would definitely recommend Melvin Gilbert Photography to anyone and everyone! Thank you Melvin for not only taking beautiful shots, but also capturing the love between us!

    Just saw all of our engagement pictures that Melvin shot of us last weekend. WOW!!!! I cannot say enough about this photographer! He did an absolutely amazing job giving us tips on posing and focusing on even the tiniest details. His expertise is definitely shown in the pictures. We had an amazing time with him. Thanks so much Melvin! :)

    Melvin was fabulous...he was always easy to get a hold of, easy to talk to...he kept me calm and i had zero worries on my wedding day! He takes such amazing photos! Melvin is a true photographer...even without editing them they look amazing! He is always prepared, organized and very prompt! I really appreciated how he was able to direct us (my fiance and wedding party) in great poses and was able to capture some great candid shots....melvin goes above and beyond, and I really appreciated all his work.

    Having worked with Melvin in Scottsdale, AZ was such a great experience! Melvin was very professional and insightful all throughout our engagement shoot. One thing we really liked was that Melvin always had a unique spin on typical engagement photography. Throughout our shoot, Melvin also gave great tips for taking beautiful pictures and we could not be happier with the result!! Melvin always had a next shot in mind and all we had to do was show up. We would absolutely recommend Melvin to any of our friends as our experience was unforgettable! Thanks Melvin!

    When it comes to the most important day of your life, the last thing you want to worry about is not being able to capture the most important moments of the day. With Melvin, you won't have to worry about any of that. I really can't say enough good things about Melvin. In short, he's absolutely awesome!

    We found Melvin after meeting with several other wedding photographers. We felt it was important to find the appropriate person to shoot an event like our wedding. However, prior to meeting Melvin I felt we just weren't connecting with anyone. Then we met Melvin. He was super friendly and approachable from the start. Our engagement session was really fun and Melvin knew of many excellent shooting locations. He was completely open to our ideas and I felt very comfortable communicating exactly what I wanted.

    On the day of the wedding, Melvin arrived on time and ready to go. He was energetic and looked presentable. He covered our wedding pretty much from start to finish and I can't say I ever saw him take a break. He was all over the place! This made for some very beautiful shots and he captured some very memorable moments. Our guests loved Melvin. Our wedding party very much enjoyed working with him and some still keep in touch with him now. Again, I felt very comfortable working with Melvin and I was confident he'd get all the good wedding shots.

    After the wedding, Melvin delivered the pictures promptly and the quality was excellent. He's fun and easy going but he takes his job serious and is very professional at the same time. Melvin is very accessible and I had no problems reaching him. He answered all my calls and texts in a timely manner. All in all, we had a very pleasant experience with Melvin. I'd recommend him to any bride looking for an excellent photographer with fresh ideas and who truly loves what he does.

    Thanks again, Melvin!
