Organized and professional from start to finish & the result was both creative and beautiful
Melissa took great care in making our day seamless & all about living into the moment. She was super prepared in the planning - making sure we were on board with ideas for where we could take photos, timing for her arrival and how to organize costume changes. She arrived early, provided amazing enthusiasm, love & focus and captured incredible shots. We are so glad to have worked with her!Melissa took great care in making our day seamless & all about living into the moment.

The BEST photos ever!
The experience we have had working with Melissa and her husband has been wonderful. I cannot thank them enough! Not only have our photos come out AMAZING, but they have gone above and beyond. From our engagement shoot in the Marin headlands, to our elopement in SF, the photos are incredible! Melissa has scoped out each location, told us when the best time of day will be to get the best shots, and she does not disappoint. We are so grateful for them and I'm so thrilled that we are able to work with them again in July!The experience we have had working with Melissa and her husband has been wonderful.

Exceptional Service Led to a Wonderful Day
Melissa with Whiskey and Champagne is a wonderful photographer. We hired her for our engagement photos which turned out stunningly, then again for our wedding. She's so good at capturing the moment and finding great spots so it looks like you're the only ones around. The style we asked for was absolutely delivered. Her eye gives those moments life... enabling us to relive those feelings again immediately. She went above and beyond with us, helping with things that she didn't have to help with. It felt like we were all on a team, and I loved that on such an important day. We will definitely hire her again and recommend anyone else who wants amazing moments captured, to reach out.Melissa with Whiskey and Champagne is a wonderful photographer.

Melissa rocked it!
Melissa was one of the first vendors we booked for our wine country wedding and she did not disappoint! Melissa was incredibly responsive, working with me from day one to co-create a timeline to ensure we captured all the important moments as well as our planner. Day of Melissa was direct, kind and a great energy to have with us. Our families can be a lot to wrangle and she effortlessly kept the order with a smile on her face. To our excitement she quickly turned around a sneak peak as well as all of our photos. They exceeded our expectations, captured so many candid moments and we'd love to work with her in the future!Melissa was one of the first vendors we booked for our wine country wedding and she did not disappoint!

Excellent in every way
Melissa is a total star. We are so pleased with the photographs from our wedding and the experience we had working with her.
At our wedding she was always close at hand when we wanted a photo but never in the way when we wanted to enjoy ourselves. When we were working with her for photos she was creative, quick and kind.
I recommend her without hesitation.Melissa is a total star. We are so pleased with the photographs from our wedding and the experience we had working with her.

It's like being photographed by a talented friend
We are so lucky we found Melissa to be our wedding photographer. She is super friendly, easygoing and has an infectious love for love! Both my husband and I are not big into posing for photos and Melissa made it easy for us, by just capturing the moments as they happened. Even our couples-wedding shoot felt natural and the results are outstanding. I can't recommend Melissa enough. We may have met as photographer and to-be bride & groom, but I feel like I also found a friend, who will be invited to all our special occasions to partake and capture the memorable moments!We are so lucky we found Melissa to be our wedding photographer.

BEAUTIFUL engagement and wedding photos!
We absolutely LOVE Melissa. She photographed both our engagement and our city hall wedding and we instantly fell in love with all the great shoots she got of us.
Melissa is flexible, dependable, approachable and above all else talented. Her patience and easy going personality made our experience memorable. We just loved how comfortable she made us feel. From the start to the end, Melissa made everything easy and enjoyable. She was quick to respond to all my emails and had a quick turn around with delivering the photographs!

I am so impressed with Whiskey and Champagne Photography. I hired Melissa for my recent wedding and she delivered such beautiful photos that captured not only the moments but the essence of our relationship. I was astounded.

Do yourself a favor and cross this task off your list. Hire Melissa right away! I'm so fortunate to have received her immense talent.I am so impressed with Whiskey and Champagne Photography.

There isn’t a week that goes by that we don’t look through our wedding album. Melissa’s photographs recount our day of love in every beautiful and blissful way.Before we even decided upon our wedding venue, I knew Melissa of Whiskey & Champagne would be our photographer!

Lights in Florence, how our inner self was guessed without words
We had a lovely experience with Melissa. Mine was a small wedding, and the lights of the day (noon in a hot and wet day of July in Florence) could have been a trial even for the most skilled photographer. My relatives do not speak English, nor my husband, and I didn't know Melissa personally before that day, although a dear friend whom I trust had recommeded her.
She was a discrete presence, never intrusive, only kind and professional. The pictures were awsome, she understood my own inner self without knowing me. her ideas of the city in the background were original and effective. A fairWe had a lovely experience with Melissa.

One of the best decisions for my wedding!
Melissa was more than I could have hoped for as our photographer! Melissa was friendly and super natural. She didn’t get in the way and ask us to pose awkwardly. My husband isn’t thrilled about picture taking and she was able to get our pics done super quickly. She took lots of candid shots and made sure to capture all of my family and friends. On top of that, she was a lovely presence on such an important day. Even my guests commented on how friendly and sweet she was.
And the pictures?! Breathtaking! She edited them super quickly and I’m obsessed! Everyone loves them. I’ve even had married friends say they were jealous their pictures weren’t like mine.
Highly recommend Melissa! Trust me, you have no need to look any further.Melissa was more than I could have hoped for as our photographer! Melissa was friendly and super natural.

Could not have been happier!
Best compliment was from my husband. He HATES getting his photo taken... after the wedding ceremony and we did our alone photos he told Melissa that she made it so easy and quick he would take MORE!! What?!! I’ve never been happier when I look at all the beautiful photos of our wedding. I am so grateful to have found Whisky & Champagne to capture every moment of our wedding day and events leading up.Best compliment was from my husband.

Wonderful to work with & takes gorgeous photos!
We had the pleasure of working with Melissa on several occasions, & she was incredible for each one. She took my engagement photos, & brought us to beautiful locations capturing gorgeous shots. She also took photos of my mother's wedding & my wedding brunch & really captured the essence of each event and those who attended. She's incredibly kind, creative, and able to blend seamlessly into any setting and dynamic to get the best photos. She'll put you at ease and make everyone feel comfortable, and ensures you get every shot you're looking for, and all the ones you never thought you needed. We hope to work with her again in the future!We had the pleasure of working with Melissa on several occasions, & she was incredible for each one.

Effortless Romance.
“The photographs by Melissa of Whiskey and Champagne transcend quality and draw on the spirit of every subject she captures. Having her photograph many of our events that were social or corporate, she has documented the sincere enjoyment of our guests, the culinary talent and the beauty of our space. Melissa’s ability to quietly but effectively see a moment worth remembering and shoot it makes for an effortless feeling of our guests. Her ability to photograph detail without requiring a ton of staging helps keep your event flow and chefs happy!
After contracting Melissa for many work events, I could think of no better person to capture my (now) husband and I’s special day at San Francisco City Hall. I am not one for the camera, where my husband is. She was able to give me the direction needed to match his photogenic nature without looking staged. Melissa was even able to softly direct my sassy family to achieve a breathtaking wedding portfolio! This project required more direction and she did not let a moment slip by without capturing it on film! We will never need to look further for our photography needs again! Melissa will forever capture our memorable moments and she captured our hearts with her amazing work, professional attitude and artful eye!”“The photographs by Melissa of Whiskey and Champagne transcend quality and draw on the spirit of every subject she captures.
