Amazing job! I have never seen such quality pictures so quickly. You clearly captured the emotion of every moment ! As father of the bride, some of the day was hazy to me but you made it crystal clear in your pictures.

Melani has a superior talent for capturing, not only the events but most importantly, the deep joyful emotions of the most special day.

Melani is the best in the business because she works hard at it.  She reads up and keeps current on new technologies so she can offer services using the best cameras, lenses and other photographic equipment, including albums and print paper; no detail is too small for her to not obtain and use the best.  Her many years of experience guided us to the best venue, makeup artist, wedding planner, florist, bridal store and more.  On the day of the shoot, in addition to the candid shots, I strongly suggest allowing her to set up locations and posing. She knows what she is doing and, as we found out, her guidance resulted in the most fabulous photos ever.  Melani sincerely cares about all the little and large details that will add up to the perfect wedding.  She will listen to you and offer her wisdom, direction and advice which will result in extraordinary photographs.   I believe that her Masters in Art History and her background in dance are why she is so accomplished at lighting and so understanding of movement.  Melani's innate desire to achieve excellence in all she does is so very evident in her photographs, especially in her wedding albums.  She appears to have been everywhere and caught so many cherished moments we never would have been able to enjoy without her all-seeing eye!  I treasure Melani's photographs and now so can our family, for generations to come.

Though my hubby and I are definitely photogenic, we had no idea how gorgeous the right photographs could make us. Melani is an award-winning photographer whose work has been featured in Town & Country. I heard about her from a friend. I found her sensitive, likeable and a lot of fun to work with. She also threw in a cool engagement photo session.
