I cannot wait to have Melissa back for all our future professional photos.

Her photos are absolutely beautiful, so organic, the best lighting, and caught every perfect moment. My husband and I never had professional photos done before and were really nervous, almost not wanting engagement pictures. She made all our shoots so effortless. Her candids and film are the best. There were so many photos she caught that I didn’t know were happening that have now become family staples. Before Melissa, I never knew photos could capture so much feeling. Communication was super easy with her questionnaires and check ins through the process, not a single photo on the photo list was missed.

She has this natural ability to make you feel comfortable, confident, and seen. She doesn’t just take photos; she listens, she understands, and she brings out the best in everyone in front of her camera. 

From our very first session together, I knew she had an incredible gift for turning fleeting moments into timeless memories. Over the years, she has been part of so many milestones — from sessions that included our beloved pups (who mean the world to us), engagement photos, our intimate civil wedding, and our unforgettable destination wedding in Casa de Campo, including the Welcome Party + Rehearsal Dinner! Each event has been photographed with such care, creativity, and emotion. Every time we receive our photos, we’re reminded of just how blessed we are to have found someone so talented and genuinely passionate about what she does. Looking back on everything she’s captured for us — and all the memories still to come — I can honestly say we’ve not only found a photographer for life, but also a lifelong sweet friend. Someone who has shared in our most special moments, celebrated alongside us, and given us memories we’ll treasure forever.  

We are so excited to have your art in our home for the rest of our lives. Thank you so much!

We seriously cannot thank you enough as our wedding and the memories would not have been the same without you. Thank you so much for your hard work, flexibility, understanding and expertise throughout the process. From the first time we saw your website and portfolio, we knew we wanted to work with you. You helped us every step of the way. 

There wasn’t a single photo I asked for while planning the day that she didn’t capture, and every single one was stunning. 

I first saw Melissa’s work on Pinterest seven years ago and instantly fell in love. She was the first vendor I booked after my husband proposed, and from our first FaceTime call to the day we received our wedding photos, she was nothing but warm, professional, and all-around-amazing. I was extremely anxious on my wedding day, but Melissa had such a calm non-anxious presence and this helped a lot. She was great about giving instructions for posing, so we never felt awkward, and she was incredible organized with great attention to detail. 

A good photographer makes memories last forever, so choose Melissa! She does a stunning job in taking photos, but she even better at being a true friend.

We can’t recommend her enough! I first came across Melissa’s work from a friend of mine and it was love at first sight. I knew that I had to have her as my photographer; I just needed to get proposed to first. Our engagement photos were done by her and we honestly fell in love with every picture. The thing with Melissa is that she really knows how to make each couple so comfortable. She has an amazing eye for detail as well as angles that compliments each person. As the wedding got closer and closer, Melissa checks in on her bride and for me, as stressed as I was getting, she gave me so much more ease. She truly cares for each of her clients that you become friends with Melissa. She gave me so much excitement with the day coming around the corner. Our wedding was a large event but that did not phase Melissa. We could count on Melissa to remember where everyone was supposed to be, what to do, and where to go, because she was on top of it all! We plan to use Melissa for every precious event in our lives.

In addition to walking away with absolutely spectacular wedding photography, I have gained a friend! 

If you want a photographer who goes the extra mile, is creative, artistic and an absolute sweetheart, please look no further. Melissa not only has provided me with the most exceptional photos from both our engagement photoshoot and our wedding day, but has gone above and beyond the whole time while working together. You know you have a great photography team when your family continues to compliment them and their exceptional work! She takes her time to get to know the couples she works with and it makes the world of a difference!
