Testimonials

Melissa is an incredible photographer who captured both our engagement and wedding photos, and I truly couldn’t be happier with the experience and pictures! She has a gift for capturing the most magical moments and brings such a fun, warm energy that makes you feel completely at ease! From the beginning, she really listened to my vision and helped fill in the gaps where I wasn’t completely sure what I wanted.

Brooke & Saverio

Working with Melissa is a dream come true!! From the very beginning, I was impressed with her easygoing yet professional nature. She has an incredible eye and captures intimate moments perfectly. Her talent extends to getting the fussiest of models to be serious and smile (and yes, I mean my husband lol). Our engagement photos were so beautiful that we knew we were in good hands for our wedding day.

Erica & Sam

My husband and I worked with Melissa from engagement shoot to wedding and she was incredible every step of the way. Neither of us are overly confident and Melissa was able break us out of our shell a bit and captured photos that felt like us.

Melissa was very professional, kind, supportive, and her communication with both us and the venue was punctual and easy. She was our easiest vendor to work from our side and the venue!

Emily & Patrick

I can’t recommend Melissa enough! She photographed our engagement and wedding photos beautifully. She made sure to make us feel comfortable and understand the vibe we were going for and wanted for our day. She really cares to make the photos capture who you truly are as a couple as well. Us, our family, and friends can’t get over how great they came out!
