I feel so incredibly lucky to have had Melanie photograph our wedding. The photos she took of our special day are truly art. I feel like I am reliving all the special moments of the day, each time I look through the photos she took. She is a pleasure to be around and a true professional. She captured the whole day and the photos are incredibly beautiful! Melanie was taking pictures while we were getting ready in the hotel room, during our first look, and during the wedding. She captured the whole day perfectly and I am so unbelievably happy. Melanie is an amazing and talented photographer and I cannot imagine having had anyone else.
Melanie was my photographer for my wedding. Melanie and her second shooter Stephanie arrived promptly and went right to work. All of the staged shots felt organic and unforced, and I hardly even noticed that they were there much of the time. The photos that Melanie and Stephanie took are simply breathtaking, and I couldn't be more pleased with the quality that returned. Melanie is truly incredibly talented at what she does, and I would highly recommend her.
I'll start by saying that choosing a wedding photographer was one of the most important "vendors" for us, and we wanted to choose the best one - for the tangible memories, beautiful photos, and a photographer that is a pleasure to be around. I started researching photographers immediately after we got engaged. There are only 52 Saturdays in the year so I wanted to be sure we got who we wanted. :)
