    I am so happy with Photography by Melissa Marie. From the very beginning, she made every effort to establish a personal connection, instead of just trying to land a client. Melissa shot my engagement and wedding sessions and her process was very professional without being overly formal. Melissa's pricing is affordable, but that doesn't mean you lose out on quality. I would highly recommend Melissa to anyone!

    Melissa was AMAZING! We hired her to photograph our son’s adoption finalization at court. She was early, took the hundreds of different group shots we wanted, captured incredible once-in-a-lifetime moments in the courtroom, and even took more group shots afterwards. She was so sweet and flexible leading up to the big day as well. Very responsive to our emails. Her artistic vision for our event really helped us get the best photos possible. I will treasure them for a lifetime. Would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer.

    Melissa was my main photographer for my wedding on 11/4/17 and she was nothing short of amazing! She also provided a second shooter and he was great! The two of them worked so well together! I couldn’t have done it without them! Melissa was so understanding of everything! She kept reassuring me that everything would be ok! Made us feel comfortable and brought us out of our comfort zone during both photo shoots (engagement and wedding). Melissa took control of the night and made the scheduled events happen and was always right there for a picture! I had multiple guests say how sweet, professional, patient and outgoing she was! I know some family & friends as well as us will be using Melissa for future photo shoots! You won’t be disappointed in her at all!

    Photography By Melissa Marie's reply:

    You two are beyond amazing and I am so thankful I not only met friends but that I was able to witness such an amazing love! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for choosing me to shoot your wedding Yucaipa California and for being such rockstars on your big day! Cheers to all the years of love you have ahead !

    Melissa is a true professional. She made sure the wedding ran perfectly and captured all our special moments. She has to travel between 3 different sites and did it all with ease. Making the day stress free for us since we knew all our pictures were going to be done right. She is calm, happy, and understands how to capture your big day!

    Photography By Melissa Marie's reply:

    Oviett & Billy,
    Knowing you two throughout your relationship and being able to be there to capture and witness such a big day was amazing. I laughed with you and cried with you and It could not have been more gorgeous and filled with love. I love how it was such an intimate wedding, and how gorgeously breathtaking the Winery in Pennsylvania was. Everything from your "first dance" in the vineyards to our after party at the AirBNB mansion is full of memories I will always carry with me. Love you guys and I know your lives will be full with so much love and laughter ! <3

    Hands down the best photographer in the inland empire! I searched for a photographer for months until she was referred to me. She is so quick to respond and works with you in any way she can. She's a mother of two and she was gracious enough to photograph my big day on MOTHERS DAY. She made me and my husband feel so comfortable when taking our intimate pictures, and the rest of our wedding party adored her. Our wedding pictures only took 8 weeks to come back to us and most vendors I know take up to at least a year. Her pricing is right on the dot and the quality of her work is beyond words. You can't go wrong with Photography by Melissa Marie!!

    Photography By Melissa Marie's reply:

    Denise,
    You're beautiful day in Norco, Ca was such a joy to capture and I remember crying multiple times throughout. You and Michael are going to have so many amazing memories throughout the years, and I am just lucky enough that I got to be a part of giving you some to look back on. Kiss that sweet baby for me and I wish you both all of the love in the world !! <3

    Melissa was so great! She has such a unique look to her photos you can't find easily! I wanted last minute pictures for my 1 years old birthday and she worked with me to get them done in time for her birthday party! I would definitely recommend for all occasions!!!

    Photography By Melissa Marie's reply:

    Amanda, thank you so much for your sweet words and I can't wait to see you and your beautiful family in front of my camera again soon!

    Mireya & Erich,
    I knew that when I met you guys you had something so truly special! When I first met you two at your family session in Redlands, to the fun time we had shooting your engagement photos in downtown Pasadena, Ca you guys not only made me feel like family, but showed me just how much in love you were and I know life is going to be so full of amazing things for you! Your Ceremony at the beautiful St. Brendan's Church in LA was breathtaking and all of the fun we had at the Sheraton Pasadena hotel at your reception will forever be engrained as one of my all time favorite celebrations. You guys are so loved by everyone around you and I am so thankful to call you friends. Cheers !! <3

    Melissa shot mine and my husbands wedding and I don't have not one bad thing to say about the experience. She was so professional and yet fun, I really loved it! Not to mention, the photos she got of our special day were everything I hoped they would be. I would recommend her to anyone for any type of event.

    Melissa does an excellent job working with her customers to deliver the pictures THEY want of the
    friends & family and participants of your event. She will do almost anything to get the best shots
    and composition of each picture. We were pleased reviewing the numerous proofs to finalize our choices. The total cost was somewhat higher than we expected, but our Wedding book is still on our coffee table after four years! Thanks for the memories, Melissa

    Photography By Melissa Marie's reply:

    Dean & Jim, Although its been a couple of years since I was able to be there to capture your beautiful day In Palm Springs California , surrounded by your closest friends and family I still remember how much joy and love there was and how happy I was to be a part of it. I am so glad you cherish the memories and are able to look back at them often. Wishing you all the best in everything ! Melissa

    Maves, thank you for the Awesome review of your wedding that you had at the Mitten Building In Redlands California! It was such a fun wedding filled with beautiful details like the signs that you created yourself and I am thankful I was able to be there to experience it with your friends and family, but more thankful for the friendship that came from it.
