“I was lucky enough to book Melissa for both our engagement photos and wedding, and she did an absolutely amazing job! She captured stunning shots of us as a couple, as well as beautiful moments with our guests. The detail shots were incredible, and it was truly special to see all the time and effort I put into planning our wedding come to life in the photos. These images are something I will treasure forever. I’m already looking forward to booking Melissa for all the future milestones in our lives!”

“My husband and I are not naturals in front of the camera, but we wanted professional photos to remember our day. I am so glad I came across Melissa's website, I was drawn to the aesthetic of the photos, and of course I was on the hunt for a photography session that would fit our needs. Melissa's offerings were exactly what we were looking for, for our courthouse wedding. Needless to say, I absolutely love the photos we received.”
