Working with Melanie was a dream. She did both our engagement photos and wedding. I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to work with. She was kind and professional, all the while being relatable and fun. Being in front of the camera while she was behind it never felt awkward or uncomfortable. She made everything feel natural and organic, never staged. Also, she is just so sweet and funny! I didn’t want the session or wedding to end because she just lights up a room! Would definitely book Melanie again for future milestones in my life.

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.
She completely understood everything I was going for all while being kind, friendly, and beyond helpful for our engagement shoot and wedding. As for our wedding day, she went above and beyond. She captured the day beautifully while also helping out in any way she could! She was very quick on getting all of our photos back to us! I cannot sing her praises enough <3
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!
We cannot recommend Melanie enough for her services. She has an amazing eye for the shot and gives great direction. It was easy to feel comfortable and that shows in the natural look of the photos even when posed. I can't wait to see how she captures our wedding next summer!"
She is an absolute pleasure to work with; professional, friendly, and will make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. She gets photos back to you fast and I have full confidence clients will be fully satisfied with the final product, as I was. 5/5 stars!
Melanie is flexible and really captures the people she photographs. She just completed my daughter's wedding and we couldn't be more pleased with how the photos turned out. We have huge families, so I was worried about any photographer being able to get everyone. They turned out beautiful and personal.
If you're reading through these reviews because you are shopping for a photographer, seriously look no further. Melanie's talent and work speaks for itself; she has the talent of capturing photos in a way that is classic and timeless, but also trendy and modern. Melanie is one of those people with a magnetic personality, after meeting her you walk away feeling like you have known her your whole life. She makes her subjects feel at ease, kinda like they're actually in a coffee house chatting and catching up. But she also provides direction without skipping a beat!
Melanie just did my friend's engagement photos. She did a wonderful job truly capturing them. I loved that I could hear them when I was looking at the photos!
