Book her for all of your photo needs!!!
Ever since I saw Melissa’s photos and edits on WeddingWire I immediately wanted to book her. I love her moody fall-like edits so much! Melissa was actually the first vendor I booked because I was so excited! She is amazing to work with. Very chill, fun and flexible. We were able to work out a payment plan up until the wedding which worked perfect for us. We were nervous for our engagement shoot because we never took photos before and she knew exactly what to do and how to pose us. Then when the wedding came, we were already comfortable with her, she had my list of shots I wanted on her phone and family photos went extra smooth and fast we had time for cocktail hour. We will be using Melissa for everything photography in the future. She’s just awesome!!Ever since I saw Melissa’s photos and edits on WeddingWire I immediately wanted to book her.

Love love love
Loved loved loved hiring Melissa as our photographer for our wedding. Her and her assistant were punctual, professional, and an absolute pleasure to have. Plus they were flexible with a pandemic Wedding! They were able to capture multiple angles at a time catching both myself and my husband. It saved time with the formal photo graphs and allowed 2 angles for all candids during the event. Brilliant! The photos look amazing, and we recieved the weblink so I can print as many as I want. An amazing experience overall. Thank you so much!Loved loved loved hiring Melissa as our photographer for our wedding.

Hiring Melissa was a No Brainer!
Melissa is extremely responsive and so down to earth. She was willing to work with us for whatever we needed and was flexible throughout the whole process, especially with Covid. Her prices are much more reasonable than other photographers, and the lower price did not affect her service or our beautiful photos. HIRE HER!Melissa is extremely responsive and so down to earth.

Hire her!
One of the main pieces of advice I received from other married couples was to hire a photographer whose work you LOVED. I definitely want to emphasize this advice for other couples - it is not worth it to "skimp out" on your photographer. You spend sooo much of your wedding day with your photographer, which means you want to pick someone who is easy to spend time with and who creates work that excites you. Melissa checked both those boxes for us! She does an amazing job balancing professionalism with personalization. During our engagement shoot and wedding day, Melissa made us feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. I really value photos that feel candid and capture details, which Melissa does fantastic with! If you're looking for a photographer who can capture details and warmth, Melissa is your person. She is also great at taking feedback and works with you to make sure she's capturing photos that will fill you with joy!One of the main pieces of advice I received from other married couples was to hire a photographer whose work you LOVED.

Lovely photos and person!
Melissa was amazing as a photographer. Super happy with our engagement shoot and our wedding photos. Fun personality and very flexible! With COVID-19, Melissa was very accommodating, making herself available for our second date. Very responsive and couldn’t be happier with the end result! Her packages were clearly outlined and priced very fairly. Would absolutely recommend!Melissa was amazing as a photographer. Super happy with our engagement shoot and our wedding photos.

Professional, available, and creative
Melissa is a fantastic choice for a photographer. She makes you feel like you've been life long friends in a couple of seconds. I was a picky customer and she went above and beyond to make our day special.
My husband and I wanted more casual style photos. She came up with a positions and shots for it. She was wonderful with my dog and some silly ideas I had in mind to include him. She adjusted a couple of other photo specific requests I had.
In general, I am very critical of photos I am in and was so glad I had someone that felt so close that could give me feedback for some fun shots.
In addition, Melissa made herself very available. I could text her and get an answer on anything right away. She was punctual, professional, and detail-oriented. But most of all I respect her creativity she uses for her craft. I highly encourage you to invest your next photo shoot with her.Melissa is a fantastic choice for a photographer.

Stop looking for other photographers and hire melissa
My wedding was 1/31/20. When I was wedding planning, I had a vision in my head for moody and dramatic wedding pictures. I saw Melissa's profile on here and immediately fell in love with her pictures. She has a natural talent and is so creative! When you meet her, she is just so nice and you immediately just want to be her friend! As a part of our package, we had our engagement pictures taken by her and it was so much fun! Our dog was the star of the show but she made my now-husband and I feel so comfortable. She even took a few pictures for our Christmas cards a few months before our wedding and will be my first phone call whenever I need pictures taken. If you feel awkward getting your picture taken or even hate it (me!) then you won't regret hiring Melissa. She really takes the time to get to know you as a couple and what you want out of your wedding photos. At our wedding, she was on-time and got right down to business taking pictures! Her second shooter, Will, was awesome with the groomsmen and took some of my husband's favorite wedding pictures. I am so lucky to have these pictures to cherish for years. I seriously cannot recommend her enough! Your search stops here. Hire her!My wedding was 1/31/20. When I was wedding planning, I had a vision in my head for moody and dramatic wedding pictures.

Melissa was amazing!!
Melissa was amazing! We literally had the best experience with her shooting our engagement and wedding photos. She was always available, always professional and great at what she does. She was reasonably priced, and she went above and beyond to make a day exactly what we wanted. My biggest request for my wedding was that “I need to make it to cocktail hour” and she made it happen!!! I couldn’t have been more happy with how everything turned out. I was so glad we picked her as our photographer!Melissa was amazing! We literally had the best experience with her shooting our engagement and wedding photos.

Extremely Talented
We couldn't be happier with our experience with Melissa. From day 1, working with her was a breeze. It all began with our engagement shoot. She made us feel so comfortable and relaxed during the shoot that we almost forgot we just met her! We were so pleased with the photos, we used them for both our save the dates and invitations.
Melissa and her assistant did an amazing job on our wedding day. When we received our photos we were blown away! Your wedding day moves so quickly and so many memories are packed into just a few hours. Melissa beautifully captured every single detail and the feeling of each moment. Because of these photos, we will be able to remember this day forever. If you are in need an extremely talented, professional, down to earth photographer-look not further.We couldn't be happier with our experience with Melissa. From day 1, working with her was a breeze.

A beautiful mix of comfortable and fun
Working with Melissa was easy, fun, and felt very comfortable - like she had been our friend for a while even though we just met her! She captured our natural laugh and the little moments that meant so much. Looking back on the photos and day, it’s the photos she captured in our genuine moments of emotions that I cherish the most. I remember at one point she asked us to try to “put our foreheads together, but not let our noses touch.” With my husband’s big nose this was impossible. The photo she took in that moment of laughter is my favorite photo ever. Thank you for everything, Melissa!Working with Melissa was easy, fun, and felt very comfortable - like she had been our friend for a while even though we just met her!

Wedding photographer
Melissa was fantastic. "Classic photographers" who I used to hire her from gave me a free 2nd photographer as a deal, but he was awful and I barely got any photos from him. The ones I did were yellow and terrible quality. Her photos and attentiveness to us made up for it so I was able to get the main photographs I really wantedMelissa was fantastic.

Melissa was awesome, she was professional and organized. We spoke about 2-3 times during the wedding planning process to make sure all details were correct. On wedding day she came early and stayed a little late. My pictures came out great!Melissa was awesome, she was professional and organized.

Great doesn’t even begin to explain it
Every time I see a picture hang of my wedding, instead of cringing at myself, I smile. Mellisa captured each and every one of my great sides. I looked happy and beautiful. My husband looked wonderful as well;) her editing skills are phenomenal and I would recommend her to anyone of you want to love your pictures as much as I did.Every time I see a picture hang of my wedding, instead of cringing at myself, I smile.
