I found Melissa after watching a wedding video she made for another bride and groom, and I instantly fell in love with her song choices, the romantic vibe of the video, and her edi...
ting style. She was one of the first vendors I knew I wanted to hire. After watching hundreds of other wedding videos, I can confidently say that Melissa is the best.
Of course, this is subjective based on the style and vibe you want, but for me, I wanted my video to express love, sweetness, and romance. Pictures can say a thousand words, but videos capture emotions in real-time, which is why hiring a videographer was a must for me. Melissa and her team did not disappoint.
On the day of the wedding, she was extremely professional. She and her assistant had creative ideas to capture different shots, ensuring that every moment was beautifully documented. Melissa's dedication to her craft and her ability to capture the essence of our special day were truly remarkable. If you’re looking for a videographer who can create a romantic, emotional, and beautifully edited wedding video, look no further than Melissa and her team at DearFox Films. She is simply the best, and I highly recommend her to anyone wanting to preserve their wedding memories in the most stunning way possible.

Wedding - June 2017
Initially my (now) husband and I were hesitant in booking a videographer for our wedding, as like many, we were concerned about the affordability of this expen...
se within our budget. We scheduled a consultation with Maio Media after they were recommended by our DJ and watching videos of their fantastic work on their sleek website. We met with Melissa at Maio Media’s trendy studio in the Downtown Santa Ana art district. Melissa was willing to work within our budget, including incorporating drone coverage. On the day of our wedding, Melissa and Maio Media were prompt to arrive and were immediately ready to shoot. They worked seamlessly with our photographer in documenting our day and we took their direction as needed for capturing footage to incorporate into our video. Our highlight video was ready within the timeframe estimated in our contract and it was more than what we could have ever hoped for. Watching the edited work that Maio Media put together of our wedding immediately transported us back to the memories of that day. We could not wait to share it with our family and friends, many of whom expressed their love of the video, as well as confessing their tears of joy. Melissa and Maio Media were professional, friendly, and extremely talented. They will go above and beyond your expectations when you book them to video your future wedding or event.
Melissa and her assistant Brandon were such a pleasure to work with! I have known Melissa my whole life, but that would not have made me choose Melissa for my videographer solely o...
n its own. Melissa’s work is exceptional! In my search for a videographer I saw a lot of wedding videos, but none as well produced as Video by Melissa. Melissa has a strong and undeniable talent. She has truly mastered the art of capturing such wonderful and heart felt events and there have been numerous times I have become teary eyed watching a video Melissa has posted to her Facebook page. Working with Melissa was extremely professional. She was always timely with her communication to me and provided great advice and expectations on how to make my wedding day as successful as possible. I am not one who enjoys the spotlight and so videography was a nervous point for me. Melissa eased my nerves and made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the whole process. She even gave me a detailed walkthrough of what the day of the wedding would look like so there were no surprises. On the day of the wedding Melissa showed up on time ready to work and to make me look great!! This was hard to do considering I had come down with a bug, it was triple digit weather and my bridesmaids were running late. Melissa made everything feel professional but she kept a light hearted nature about her so that I wouldn’t be stressed. She even took on some non-videographer tasks that my mom asked her to do. She was willing to help out in anyways she could. The wedding ceremony and reception were flawless…and by flawless I mean, there were bugs everywhere, the location was hot and the best spots for pictures/video involved hiking up a mountain and dealing with the shrubbery. Melissa was so casual about it all and had no problem lugging her equipment to these locations, which would end up resulting in some really beautiful scenery. She also assured us that even though the elements didn’t feel nice (bugs everywhere!) that the videos would turn out stunning. And so far she was right!! I have only seen one picture Melissa had taken at the wedding but it was stunning and we are so pleased!! During the ceremony Melissa and Brandon were always a step ahead of the schedule making sure they were in the right spots at the right times so that no important part was missed. We cannot wait to see the final video footage. Thank you Melissa and Brandon!! We will certainly be using you again and recommending you to everyone!!

ja like qualities because I don't remember seeing her much, but her footage proves that she caught every beautiful moment. Her highlight reel makes me cry every time I watch it. Her editing is superb. Not only is she very personable, and professional she is a true artist who captured moments that I didn't even see. I can't say enough good things about her!
Could not have asked for a better videographer. She had great equipment and lots of it. She got every shot and I didn't even know she was around most of the time!
