  Melissa is the best! I met her when she photographed my best friend's wedding and knew I'd hire her for my San Diego wedding. She's very laid backed and easy to work with which I appreciate. She is always professional and timely in her communication as well. I love the extra special touches she puts on things like her welcome mail and flash drive with all your photos at the end. She takes great pictures and makes you feel very comfortable in front of the camera for hours. I highly recommend Melissa!

  Melissa and her team were absolutely phenomenal! Even after having a great e-sesh, I never envisioned having such wonderful wedding photos =] Melissa was affordable, personable and has an eye for capturing amazing moments. I couldn't be happier with the service I received and would absolutely recommend her to future brides.

  From the moment I met Melissa, I knew I had made the best decision to hire her as our wedding photographer. We sat in her living room and talked for almost 3 hours about anything and everything and it made our wedding day so much more comfortable knowing she was not only my photographer, but a new friend. From the time I first contacted her until even after our wedding, Melissa's responsiveness was amazing! The online reminders about payments and the checking-in phone calls/ emails were incredibly helpful, as I was also planning from out of state. I was so glad she shared my same vision and our wedding photos came out absolutely perfect! I have received several positive comments about them from friends and family. On our wedding day I knew she had caught a cold, but she worked just as hard through it all and even stayed longer than she needed to so she could catch every last detail! I have several friends who have just gotten engaged and will definitely be referring them to Melissa. Thank you so much!! :)

  Melissa Biador Photography is simply awesome. Melissa is such a sweetheart who's professional, skilled at what she does, quick to respond and very understanding and patient with her brides. We almost had to postpone our wedding due to my groom's unexpected military orders at the time but Melissa was extremely patient and flexible. She made me, the anxious bride, feel very comfortable throughout the whole planning process and answered all my questions in professional and kind manners. And my husband and I love our wedding photos! She is great. Very thankful I found her. :)

  Melissa is wonderful all-around. She is very personable, thoughtful, easy to work with, accommodating and extremely talented. We couldn't have asked for anyone better. Her team was great to work with as well. They were like ninjas at the wedding, I didn't even realize they were there. Thanks Melissa for everything! The engagement session was wonderful as well! You are truly talented and amazing. Thanks again!

  I would recommend Melissa as a photographer for weddings and other events to anyone I know. I felt that my original photographer was doing what she did because it was her job but with Melissa, she seemed to really enjoy what she was doing. Though she's the professional, she respected our input and tailored her services to our needs and style. Thank you Melissa :) Brian and Ericka

  We loved working with Melissa.
  She did our engagement party - fabulous pics, captured adorable candid moments and details. She did our engagement photos - again, amazing pics. Fun time. And she just did our wedding with her fabulous assistant Jeff.
  She is so easy to work with, very responsive, and we had sample images within days of the wedding. Its only been 12 days and we already have the whole edited set of images available for us to review online - so fast!
  She is a total ninja too - catching moments you never even realized were happening.
  Just loved her.
  Plus - probably the best deal for a photographer in town. Her images are top notch, and yet her fees were AT LEAST 25% cheaper than anyone else we spoke to. I'm sure that will change as more and more people realize how fantastic she is. :)

  Melissa and her second shooter Stacy shot our October wedding in Escondido, it was Beautiful. The views where breathtaking and all the guests looked amazing I am so happy I chose Melissa and Stacy to be our photographers for our special day, they truly captured the beauty of the venue and all the love in the air.
  The photos speak for themselves (find them on her blog)

  We had met with Melissa about a year prior to our wedding day on 7/17/11. Our wedding was held in San Diego but we live in Arizona and finding a vendor we can trust to deliver great service and work was a priority. We gravitated toward Melissa's warm personality the first time we met and knew we wanted her as our photographer. It was that warm personality that made us feel so comfortable during our engagement session and day of the wedding. It was a great pleasure for us to work with her professional warm attitude during that stressful time of planning a wedding. After our wedding I can't express enough to future brides how important it is to work with a photographer that makes it fun and produce beautiful pictures from it!!! Thanks again Melissa!!!!!

  Melissa was exactly what we needed in a photographer...flexible, creative, and able to work within our budget.

  I loved the way the pictures were taken. We were getting stuck on some poses to do, and she definitely helped us out with our poses and kept us laughing the whole time. I had fun taking our pictures, and I hope that you future brides will feel the same way I felt. :)

  melissa was absolutely fantastic to work with. i planned my wedding from abroad and she always was available to skype and was quick to respond to all of my questions via email - and i tend to ask a lot of questions. she walked me through a timeline, which i was kind of having trouble with (having never gotten married before!), and was quick to respond with suggestions and recommendations, when asked.
  
  i had envisioned my wedding being way more stressful to plan than it was - particularly because i planned it in under two months and from another country - but due to wonderful vendors such as melissa, it was calm and wonderful.
  
  because i hadn't met melissa or really been to the venue, we met there a week before the wedding and melissa walked us through what we'd be doing the day of and spent time getting to know the venue and weeding out good spots for photographs. again, she was very helpful and informative and it was really nice to see how willing she was to take time to get to know me beforehand and how committed she was to finding some great spots for our wedding.
  
  day of, she was on time (not always as appreciated as it should be) and got everything done. we were, of course, sitting in our room and drinking champagne and not being helpful to her at all, but she knew exactly what she was doing and grabbed my accessories and moved them to all these seemingly random spots, taking a bunch of pictures. the timeline she worked out was perfect - and worked so well because she was always on top of it.
  
  i felt like she was in control, which was great because while i'm normally a control freak, that day, i was so calm and happy that everything was fine - people kept asking, 'should we do this?', and 'where would you like that?' and my response was just, 'oh, whatever you think. yeah, that's perfect. fine. great. whatever'. so i'm very happy that melissa was in control, otherwise we'd never have gotten any photos at all!!
  
  during the reception, i barely saw her. yet somehow we have all these pictures of us the whole night! i think she did a really good job of being the photographer and giving orders when she needed to and just blending into the environment and getting shots that way when required.
  
  the photos themselves were finished quite quickly (though, of course, not quickly enough when you want them the next day!) and she was very accommodating about cropping certain things out or changing the images in any way. and, of course, there were a lot of really great photos!
  
  melissa is a great photographer and more, a really sweet, helpful person. i really appreciated her hard work and dedication and would definitely hire her for another photography session.
