    Great throughout the day!

    Melanie worked my wedding this past weekend. She was efficient, thoughtful, and quick to respond to emails (which, to me, is very important). Additionally, on day of the Wedding she helped organized the day with her "Run of Show." When mom's starting taking pictures during the first look and pre-ceremony pictures, she was gracefully able to encourage them to leave. And believe me, you might want that to happen to you. Melanie is a great addition to your wedding day!

    Melanie Reyes Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much Kelly for your review! I loved photographing your beautiful day! I was so honored to be there and document it for you both.

    Unbeatable!

    I almost never give reviews, but after Melanie Reyes Photography took pictures of our wedding, I have to. Melanie blew us all out of the water- she was super flexible even though we were over thirty minutes late on almost everything (including arriving to our own wedding), she was AMAZING at moving through family pictures quickly (and we both had large families (50+ people)), she made us feel natural even though we aren’t big picture people, she offered to stay late without us asking in order to get enough pictures because we had run late, she took time to get lots of pictures of our guests, worked well with our other vendors, thought of details I never would have, had water and tissues on hand when I did not, and took time to learn people’s individual names as well as who in the wedding party had significant others with whom they might want pictures. Melanie’s second shooter, Deana, was equally amazing- she made us relaxed, had a great eye for detail/ noticed the little moments, and was such a bright, peaceful presence. Not only does the Melanie Reyes photography team take great pictures, they elevate the entire day (even when it doesn’t seem like it’s possible). Thank you Melanie Reyes Photography!

    Melanie Reyes Photography's reply:

    Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Maggie! What kind words and we LOVED capturing your day. Thank you for trusting your wedding day to us!

    Best decision in all my wedding planning

    If I had to describe Melanie in three words, I'd say she was flexible, joyful, and professional in her work. She tastefully captured our ceremony while somehow staying invisible, she was so easy to talk to about my preferences and the schedule of the day, and she has the knowledge and skills to take good shots. I hoped my photographer would just "know" when to take a picture, and just "see" the special moments, and Melanie does both.

    Professional, wonderful, and timely

    Melanie is a professional, kind, and knowledgeable photographer. She goes out of her way to make sure you are comfortable throughout the photography session. My experience with her has been nothing but wonderful.

    Amazing Photographer!

    I loved working with Melanie! She was amazing! I felt very comfortable with her and Deanne her assistant that day. She was attentive and helpful even with things that are above and beyond her job description. She always checked to make sure we were doing ok. I could not have asked for a more attentive, positive wonderful photographer to capture our memories for that day!

    The absolute best!

    Not only were the pictures that we got from Melanie the absolute best, but day-of she was amazing! A bridesmaid forgot to pay for parking (and was running out of time to get ready!), and Melanie sent her assistant to pay for the parking before I even had time to panic. Crisis averted! She was great getting family (and a 3 year old) to pose for photos, keeping everything on time with the photos, and really just made the day go smoother. When I got the pictures back, there were so many wonderful shots that I never even knew she took, including photos of little wedding details that at the time I didn't think were important, but now more than a year later I am SO happy she took the time to capture. I cannot recommend Melanie enough!!

    Melanie was absolutely amazing! From the beginning she was easy to get a hold of and great with communication. She made sure mine and the groom's needs were met with the photos wanted and much more. Her equipment is top of the line. She was great at getting people's attention and knew what would look great in locations and lighting. She was good at hiding in the crowd at the reception, no one really noticed her. My family and friends had nothing to say but wonderful things about Melanie. My husband and I are looking forward to seeing how the photos turned out, we know they will be great. Melanie is definitely worth the money and I recommend her for any photography needs!

    Melanie was an absolute joy to work with!!

    Melanie was an absolute joy to work with!! Photography was a priority for us, and we are so happy we chose Melanie. From the beginning she was friendly, accommodating, quick and easy on the communication, and clearly a talented photographer. She knew exactly how to blend into the background at certain times and assert herself and keep everyone on schedule and in the right place at others. But most importantly, she listened to our requests, took LOTS of photos, and we ended up with some absolutely stunning photos and a gorgeous wedding album! We highly highly recommend Melanie Reyes!

    Melanie is absolutely wonderful. From our engagement session to planning our wedding to the day itself and afterwards, she was a pleasure to work with and a total professional. She has a easy going and positive attitude which is always helpful when there always has to be a little wedding stress! Yet she is tough in the sense that she can organize big, rowdy groups of families for pictures in respectful way. We had an unusual day with two ceremonies with a break in the day between them. Melanie was very accommodating and broke up our hours of photography so we weren't paying for several hours when we had "down time." She was quick to edit our photos and sent our final digital album (flash drives) in a beautiful presentation. Finally, the photos themselves are gorgeous. We did not have a lot of time in our day for photos but she managed to capture so many special moments between my husband and I, our wedding party, our families and guests. She made sure to get all my requests and way beyond. We have so many photos that we will cherish forever! Thank you so much, Melanie! I can't recommend her enough! (This is a second review since my first does not appear to have been posted).

    Melanie is an incredibly talented and professional photographer. After she did an amazing job photographing my sister's wedding, I knew that I needed to book her for my own wedding! She captured every detail of our day and the photos are even better than how I would have remembered it. My husband and I and our families are so grateful for the beautiful photos that we have, we will certainly treasure them forever. In addition to her outstanding photography skills and professionalism, she is so kind and warm, my husband and I are both a bit camera shy and her demeanor put us at ease. Don't hesitate, book her now for your engagement photos, wedding, baby photos, or family portraits now!!! You will not regret it!

    Six months later, and I still find myself staring at our wedding photos at least 4 times a week. Melanie is not only one of the kindest women I have ever had the pleasure of meeting, but her work is out-of-this-world amazing. Every photo is beautiful and tells a story, and so many people have complimented us on our photos and requested Melanie's information -- which I share happily and willingly! We had to make so many decisions while wedding planning, and picking Melanie as our photographer truly is the best decision we made!

    In addition to the wonderful digital images, I also have to praise her products. While we still haven't ordered wedding prints, our engagement prints are beautiful, high quality, and I know will last a lifetime -- they are much better than the cheap prints you get from those online vendors! And our leather-bound album is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. I hope that our wedding photos will become heirlooms for our children, grandchildren, and beyond, and I'm comfortable saying that Melanie's work is not only timeless, but the prints will last for generations.

    BRIDES: Your search is over! Melanie Reyes Photography is the best! Hands Down. Take a look at her website to get a little taste of her work. It's unbelieveable.

    Melanie recently photographed our wedding day and we could not be happier with the pictures she took! Not only does she capture STUNNING pictures but she is amazing to work with. She had my enormous bridal party ordered and smiling, my crazy family organized for formal pictures, and my husband and I comfortable and excited. She took the time to get to know our parents and bridal party's names before coming. How professional. One thing I loved was when we were taking pictures, Melanie and her assistant would get so excited how the pictures were coming out it got everyone even more excited.

    I HIGHLY recommend booking Melanie Reyes for your wedding day.

    Things WILL go wrong on your wedding day and that's ok. But if you book Melanie, you can be sure that you will get 'out of this world' pictures of your special day that you can look at for the rest of your married life!

    Melanie is super talented, super lovely, and we feel extremely lucky that she was our photographer at our wedding. She was also kind enough to work with our budget, and went above and beyond to make sure we got great photos in an efficient amount of time. To say she was a good value is an understatement.

    Melanie has such an eye for composing the shot, and great ideas for posing and content so that you can just let go and relax and let her do her magic. We felt so comfortable with her and her assistant Deana, which makes for even better photos and enjoying your wedding that much more.

    She's the kind of photographer who will fix details of your wedding that have nothing to do with the pictures, just because she's good people. Her whistle to get babies' attention is awe-inspiring, haha, seriously. She's just the best.

    Melanie was PHENOMENAL to work with. I have only seen the preview for my wedding pictures but I already love all of them. On the day of the wedding, she was patient, efficient, friendly, and incredibly easy to work with! Melanie had even added a second photographer to the package at no extra charge to us which was amazing! I would definitely recommend using Melanie Reyes to a friend! She is a fantastic photographer and overall, just a very sweet and caring person. Thanks, Melanie!!

    Everything was perfect. The only thing I would suggest is the half 2 photographers. One for the boys getting ready and one for the girls.

    Melanie did a great job of making us feel relaxed and natural on our wedding day. She was very good at taking charge at getting pictures done efficiently after the wedding. She was meticulous in making sure the pictures looked spectacular. We couldn't be more thrilled with the results!

    Melanie was so amazing at making my fiance and I feel comfortable while shooting our engagement photos, which is a a huge feat given his general dislike for being photographed! Our pictures were incredibly creative, personal, and most of all, beautiful! Melanie was so willing to work with us to get the shots we wanted around my alma mater and in places that were meaningful to us even in the freezing cold. Everyone who has seen the pictures has said they are so "us" and that Melanie was amazing at capturing who we are and our love for each other...and the turn-around was so quick, I was showing off our sneak peek pictures to my friends that evening! I HIGHLY recommend Melanie to anyone looking for an engagement, wedding, or family photographer.

    I can't say enough good things about Melanie. She is both professional and personable, she goes to great lengths to get the perfect shot, her prices are very reasonable, and the final products are of the highest quality. I can't remember what my cake tasted like, and I barely remember any details about the reception, but I have looked at my wedding and engagement pictures (well over 1,000 of them!) time and time again. Thanks Melanie for capturing the best day of my life so beautifully!!!

    What else can we say but working with Melanie from the time that we had our engagement session to our wedding day has been nothing but a joyful experience! Her professionalism and personality make her someone who is easy to work with. She is able to capture the moment and the entire experience through her photographs. We are so happy with our choice and very pleased with how everything worked out!
