Jessica Sent on 01/26/2025Perfectly captured our wedding day!
After what seemed like an endless search for a wedding photographer, I was referred to Melody. Her work immediately caught my eye. I liked her editing style and naturalness, so I reached out. Melody was quick to respond and answer all of my many questions. She even agreed to FaceTime with me while I was in another country! She had a great personality, so I knew she would be a the perfect fit. We booked both our engagement shoot and wedding day with her and were beyond pleased with our whole experience. Melody was fun and made my husband and I feel like ourselves, comfortable, not posed. She was also very accommodating throughout the process. She followed my shot... -

Melody was the absolute best and everything we could have asked for! She was professional and exceeded all of our expectations. Our engagement pictures as well as the pictures from our wedding day were absolutely perfect. Cannot recommend her enough!! -

I can’t imagine a better photographer for my wedding than Melody. She was super responsive, well organized and communicated so well. On the day of she completely took charge in the best way possible and got every photo and portrait that I wanted perfectly. Overall she made the whole day of pictures flow without a hiccup. And the photos after the fact are incredible. I cannot thank Melody enough, and I totally recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. -

Mel is an amazing photographer! She is so kind and genuinely connects with you and makes you feel comfortable when taking your photos. We are non picture people and were apprehensive to getting engagement photos done, we are so glad we did because we got to know Mel and the pictures came out great. We can not wait for our wedding day to work with Mel again! -

Melody came highly recommended from a friend who’s wedding she had photographed. Picking a photographer was an overwhelming process to say the least. Melody has been amazing!
I was super nervous about engagement photos as I had never had professional photos taken- Melody made my fiancé and I feel super comfortable. Her pictures are absolutely amazing- can’t wait for the wedding photos! -

When planning our wedding, our photographer was one of the most important vendors to my husband and I. We knew we had to trust someone special to capture such important memories and Melody was 100% that person. She has such a sweet personality that immediately puts you at ease. Our engagement session was SO much fun (like seriously, such a fun date night!) and our entire family and wedding party loved her during wedding photos. Melody has a way of capturing moments in such a genuine way, her photos feel so natural in such a beautiful way. Our wedding sneak peaks brought me to tears and my husband and I will treasure these photos for the rest of our... -

I can't recommend Melody more! Melody planned a beautiful fall hike for our engagement session and it was amazing! We love hiking and when I found a photographer that was also into hiking I knew we met our perfect match. Melody was friendly, and extremely positive, and made us feel happy and excited to be getting our pictures taken. We had so much fun! Thanks Melody! -

Jessica Sent on 11/25/2021Couldn't recommend Melody more!
Melody has been an absolute pleasure to work with from our very first conversation. She felt like an old friend when we met at a trailhead at 4 am for a sunrise engagement session and she definitely helped put my fiance and I at ease when we aren't used to being in front of a camera. Leading up to this, she planned out the best specific location and best time to be at our location given the angle of the sun. She also has been incredibly responsive, even in an absolutely insane wedding season/year and has given us detailed recommendations for other vendors (this is all while we know she is completely bogged down with editing other galleries).

Madison Sent on 11/22/2021Melody is the best!!
I got my engagement photos done by Melody and she will be doing my wedding as well. Melody is an amazingly talented photographer. It didn’t feel just like getting pictures done, she made it an entire experience! We were able to be outside in nature, walking around a location she knew of that was secluded and beautiful! She made us both very comfortable around the camera with prompts. She allows you to be creative with your photos as well and we had a lovely picnic at sunset to finish up the shoot. I am absolutely obsessed with the photos she took. Her editing style is really natural and she made our photos feel really warm and romantic which is... -

Kerin Sent on 07/30/2021Best photographer ever-- hands down.
As everyone knows, finding a wedding photographer is so stressful yet so exciting. Seeing how many photographers there are out there does not usually make the decision-making process easy. I personally had followed Melody on social media for a while even before my engagement due to how incredible her work was. For me, Melodys work made this decision VERY easy for me to make. My fiancé and I came into this nervous knowing both of us would be pretty camera shy. If you're reading this and that's a thought that you may be worrying about, you might as well just throw it out the window now because Melody made us feel SO comfortable in front of the camera with... -

We found Melody through my sister who went to college with her and her husband and her website took our breaths away! I tell everyone that she is the person to call if you want to get married on a mountain! We did NOT get married on a mountain and still had such amazing photographs, in the church and on the beach! She is warm, kind, and genuinely wants the best for her couples. We ended up moving our 6/6/20 wedding to 6/5/21 while still eloping on 6/6/20. She shot both days and was so accommodating to our needs and schedules! You will not regret hiring Melody for you special day! We can't wait to book her in the future for family sessions when it comes time!!! -

Came back to update this after our wedding - So happy that we chose Melody for our photographer! She has a way of capturing moments exactly how I hoped they would turn out (or better!) and was an absolute pleasure to work with! My favorite vendor by far.
Have only had our engagement photos done so far and could not be more thrilled with how they turned out! Melody has an amazing eye for catching a beautiful photo and showcasing your natural personalities. She was so helpful in helping us prepare for the photos and making us feel super at ease during the shoot. I can’t wait for her to capture our wedding day!! -

Lauren Sent on 06/08/2021Melody is pure magic
When I first contacted Melody, it was for an elopement for the fall of 2020. When we decided to do the whole wedding thing she thankfully was available and willing. I am beyond grateful to have her as our photographer! She was perfect. She helped along the way and was patient during the whole process. (I was very overwhelmed) my sneak peak is magical and I cannot wait to see the rest! Thank you so much Melody! You were a dream! -

Melody made us feel so comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera, which my husband and I are typically not. She was very professional and did a wonderful job of capturing everything on our wedding day. She’s so sweet and just fun to have around on such a special day. I highly, highly recommend her. -

We knew we wanted Melody to capture our elopement at Acadia National Park when we saw her work online. When she responded to my initial inquiry I knew right away that she would be perfect for our day—I felt like I was talking to someone I had known for years! My husband and I had never taken professional photos before our elopement (not even engagement photos), so we were a bit nervous that the experience would feel forced/staged and awkward. With Melody, that was absolutely not the case! She put us at ease right away, and helped us feel comfortable with fun cues and games. It was also helpful that she was familiar with our elopement location. She provided... -

Samantha Sent on 10/25/2020Mel is a sweetheart and amazing artist
I fell in love with Melody instantly when I found her instagram page (go look, it is incredible to see all of her work and the range she has!) she perfectly aligned with everything I wanted in a photographer (focus on outdoor and nature wedding photography, gorgeous candid photos rather than lots of staged, etc.) whether I knew it at the time or not. She is an absolute sweetheart of a person and she works SO hard. She was the first of my vendors to reach out when COVID started to become a concern and I felt so supported by her throughout our entire change of plans pivoting to an elopement ceremony instead. She made me excited, comfortable, and... -

April Sent on 09/27/2020The Best Decision We Made
Melody’s photos really caught my eye as I searched Wedding Photographers images online. I found myself captivated by how well she captured movement and emotion in her photos. I knew I needed to speak to this woman right away! What I didn’t expect was to meet such a kind, dedicated and sincere person. When I spoke to Melody on the phone, I felt like I was speaking to my best friend. Melody didn’t just ask the generic questions like “how did you meet?” She really dug in and asked thoughtful questions about my fiancé and I. What I learned from this, is that she used this information to take the most perfect photos that capture our personalities and passions.... -

Melody swooped in on our wedding day with a second shooter, multiple lenses, flexibility and enthusiasm in tow. Having worked with us in the weeks leading up to the wedding day, she had already laid out her agenda of times/locations/events/subjects/hours of sunlight for us, so we knew exactly what to expect and exactly where we wanted any additions or deviations. She was quickly made aware that the maid of honor was a wedding photographer (which isn't always helpful..) and immediately chatted with her to discuss any input, insight, or details about me, my husband or the venue that would add to capturing the day. Melody immediately welcomed being brought into our group and never made anything feel imposed or... -

Tracey Sent on 01/22/2020Adventurous, Great Nature Settings
I’m so grateful we found Mel! She was so easy and fun to work with. My husband and I were uncomfortable taking photos at first but Mel made us feel comfortable doing it, even in the heart of Downtown Boston during our engagement shoot. The engagement session provided us with a great opportunity to get to know the camera and Mel.
Mel has a great sense of adventure. Before the wedding she did her own reconnaissance work around the area to find the most beautiful settings to take photos in. During the wedding, she had an incredible eye and captured all our special moments. Our pictures look amazing, we love showing them off to friends and family. We couldn’t be more grateful and happy.

I do not have enough positive things to say about Melody!! From our first phone call, I felt like I had known her forever. Our husbands our in the same profession and there was an instant connection. She is so easy to talk to and very responsive via phone and email. Unfortunately, we did not have an engagement session. The first time we actually met was on the wedding day. Melody made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. My husband doesn’t exactly love photos and Melody found a way to have us both look so natural.
Now let’s talk quality of photos!! Melody sent us a “sneak peak” of a few photos and it took me... -

Truly, words cannot express how wonderful our photos are and how much we love Mel. I know my fiancé was a bit apprehensive about the entire idea of engagement photos, but now he’s smiling ear to ear! Mel made our engagement shoot easy, fun, and natural. She is focused on making sure you have the best possible experience for whatever occasion you are celebrating. Now, I can't wait to get these printed and on our wall! Mel, thank you so much! We hope to see you again in just about a year. :) -

Emily Sent on 10/22/2019Best Photographer in New England, hands down.
Hiring Melody for my wedding photography was pure fate - she commented on a thread I posted in a NH bride group asking for photographer recommendations. I was flooded with B-Grade, non-prof hobbyists offering services via their iPhones & was so frustrated with the waste of my time that I went to delete the post. Mel was the last person to comment before I did so & her website thumbnail intrigued me. The rest of the booking fell into place, she worked with our budget, took notes of our theme & overall hopes for the photos we wanted out of our wedding, we connected over our family’s (& her personal!) military experiences & our love of animals & nature.... -

Melody came recommended through Facebook from another bride-to-be and once we saw her website and amazing work, we knew we needed to hire her! She customized a package to fit exactly what we needed and was very helpful throughout all the planning. She is very down to earth and gave us a lot of direction the day of, which is exactly what we needed to get the best shots. Our "teaser" photos are so perfect, we are dying to see the rest and can't wait to work with her again! -

Amazing to work with!
We chose Melody as our wedding photographer after having such a great experience with her photographing my sister's wedding. Throughout the whole process she was great to work with, made the process so easy and was really flexible with helping us decide what worked best for us. On the wedding day, Melody made my husband and I and our whole wedding party feel relaxed and we had so much fun! Her guidance throughout the day truly helped to lift a weight off my shoulders so that I could focus on enjoying the day. The photos were better than what we could have imagined! She captured exactly what the day felt like and got beautiful portraits as well as candids that we absolutely love. Cannot recommend Melody enough for her professionalism, expertise, and wonderful personality! -
