Melanie checks every box, my friends. She is attentive to clients needs, understands her clients and their desires and captures their vision unlike anybody I've seen accomplish before. I watched my video and was crying at the end. Melanie captures videos and photos, but more importantly she captures the emotions.. you are able to look back and relive those feelings and memories all over again as if you're experiencing them for the first time. You won't find that anywhere else. You will never find someone who loves this job more than her. Every meeting, every conversation, and the 9 hour job of filming, not once did that girl stop smiling. Full of passion and joy, she makes every session fun and enjoyable! Trust me, you can't go wrong with Melanie.
"Trust me, you can't go wrong with Melanie.
Melanie invests her entire heart into all her work and is selfless in how she puts her clients first in everything! She is an inspiration, such an encourager and an absolute delight and joy to work with and truly cares for each of her clients. She has so much fun with her time with you. She is adventurous, willing and excited to go outside the box and try new things. We were touched and moved to tears so many times throughout watching the film. We were blown away by what Melanie was able to so beautifully bring together! It's not just a job to her, it's so evidently her calling and passion and you will see that and experience that yourself when you choose Melanie to capture part of your story and moments to look back on and treasure for a lifetime.
Melanie gives the reins to the people she is working with and that means the whole world to us! We did a last minute engagement photoshoot & wedding shoot (a week apart from each other) and Melanie made it work. The fact that she is so flexible gave us the most opportunities to get the pictures that we wanted and to this day (10 months later), we look back on the photoshoot days as fun and memorable! She even posted behind the scene photos - which were my personal favorite.
Melanie cares about her clients and strives to give them the best setting as she can. She is a wonderful photographer to have and someone you won’t have to worry about when it comes to your big day because she will take care of it!
