DeMartini Weddings made our special day truly unforgettable! From the planning stages to the final moments of the reception, their team was incredibly professional, attentive, and detail-oriented. They went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, and we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful wedding. The photographers captured every magical moment, and the entire team made us feel comfortable and supported throughout the entire process. Highly recommend DeMartini Weddings for anyone looking to have a stress-free and perfectly executed wedding day!

Your wedding photos are something you will always look back on and finding the perfect photographer to capture such a special day can be so intimidating. DeMartini Weddings made booking a photographer the easiest part of wedding planning for us! They are so kind and helpful, they were on time and thorough. From booking to planning to the day of, they went above and beyond any of our expectations. We explained the vibe we wanted and they perfectly captured it with every single photo in such beautiful & creative ways. We constantly are looking back at our wedding photos almost two years later and are so thankful we chose DeMartini Weddings!

We had a wonderful experience at our Family Photo shoot. Mili did great with our boys and the pictures turned out beautiful! I will definitely be a return customer.

We loved working with Melinna and her team for our wedding! Our wedding spanned the world with my husband initially being 5,000 miles away and she met with us several times via zoom before the wedding to discuss the vision we both had in mind, but she never once made it feel difficult to communicate or get together as it easily could’ve. She shared pictures and video ideas all throughout the following months that inspired some truly beautiful moments that she captured on our big day! I told her my dream to have a timeless elegance from mixing old Hollywood glamour with romantic floral designs and she absolutely nailed those shots! She even captured a moment I will never forget a video of doing a first look with my grandfather because my father wasn’t there for my big day and I’ll still cry each time I watch it. My husband is also disabled and she was so easy to work with, giving us poses that made him feel comfortable and confident! We’re so excited to see what happens with Melinna and her journey as a photographer and as her team grows! We will definitely be using her again in all our major life events to come! Check out our gallery on her website and you’ll see what I mean!

We have used Melinna Twice already and already planning our next shoot with her. Her creativity, ideas, personality is a perfect match. For those that have a hard time posing or get shy/nervous, with Melinna you can just relax and have a good time. And we have seen her in action also at a friends wedding and she’s amazing. Pretty much every type of photography- couple/ family shoots, weddings you name it. And on top of that she even traveled to New York for our last shoot. You will not be disappointed.

I've had the pleasure of working with Melinna for my business photography needs, and I must say, I'm thoroughly impressed! Her flexibility and willingness to understand my unique business needs made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. She took the time to grasp my brand's vision and aesthetic, ensuring that every shot resonates with my target audience.
I wholeheartedly recommend them and can't wait to collaborate again in the coming weeks!

So... I did not book Melinna for a wedding, BUT I had an unusual request and she knocked it out of the park. If you are a bride with an out-of-the-box vision or if you are looking for a creative photographer... she will accommodate and have fun with you while doing it! She is such an open-minded and positive person with creative flexibility.
I am an artist, and I needed headshots and images that captured my personality. So, I asked her to help me get some great visual pieces while I gradually covered myself in paint. She made the experience fun and these pictures are still some of the best and most expressive images my brand has to date. When I repost, people love it. She was my lady during COVID-19 that brought me joy.
Her vibe is contagious and her new husband is sure to be a great addition to her team. I have so many great things to say about Meli. One of the best, and most crucial, is that she will be there for YOU. She will listen to what you want and she will make you feel like family. She will represent you in the best way.
What more could you ask for?

I've had the privilege of witnessing Melinna journey as a photographer and it has been nothing short of remarkable.
What sets her and Kai (now as a couple) apart is their unwavering dedication, and infectious enthusiasm. They've remained true to their artistic vision while adapting to the ever-changing landscape of photography.
Each image is a testament to their growth, creativity, and passion.
They are the perfect blend of artistic talent and personal dedication.
I will always treasure our anniversary picnic photoshoot and my parents 51st anniversary shoot! We managed to squeeze in a photo soot even amidst the quarantine chaos!
They definitely helped us feel comfortable, at ease and relaxed in front of the camera, resulting in stunning, natural-looking photos that we'll treasure forever!
I just love their enthusiasm, is so infectious and their friendly and warm demeanor just make them a perfect duo for any occasion.
If you want to be seen, heard, and remembered, Melinna and Kai will go above and beyond to ensure that every photo is perfect!
