Melissa was absolutely wonderful to work with!! She was very responsive and easy to communicate with, as well as willing to go above and beyond to help with planning and making sure things ran smoothly the day of. The pictures from our engagement shoot turned out beautifully, and she was happy to photoshop a little for me as well! I highly recommend working with Melissa, and can’t wait to see our wedding photos!
Spectacular Session! Brilliant Photographer! Amazing Images!
We had a fabulous time during our family photography session with Melissa. She took the time to understand the desires and goals then customized an imaginative photo shoot. Melissa is a genius directing creative compositions and unique poses that kept everyone engaged and made the experience fun. Her expertise on how to joyfully capture cherished moments of 10 family members including four young children was impressive. It was an absolutely fantastic experience! I highly recommend Lux Light Photography to anyone looking for an exceptional photographer who goes above and beyond expectations.
Melissa was fantastic to work with! We did family photos while vacationing here in northern Michigan and while my boys were not thrilled to be taking pictures when they’d rather be playing on the beach, she made it fun and enjoyable for us all while giving us recommendations for the area to explore. She was so kind and patient with us all during the photos and kept the poses moving so we could squeeze as much into our one hour session as possible. I had a couple requests for poses and she met those expectations as well! She did a great job with communicating before the photos with recommendations on outfit choices and what to expect during the session. Thank you again Melissa for capturing our family memories here in Northern Michigan and we will cherish them forever!
Our experience with Melissa at Lux Light Photography was exceptional. Her expertise in handling our newborn with such gentleness and care was deeply reassuring. It was clear that we were working with someone who not only had technical skill but a heartfelt passion for capturing the essence of new life. For those seeking a newborn photographer who combines professionalism with warmth, and skill with heart, look no further. Lux Light Photography doesn’t just take photos; she creates heirlooms that will be cherished by your family for generations to come. We are beyond grateful and we cannot recommend her services highly enough.
110% using her again in the future. So much fun to work with.
professional, great communication, flexible with our needs, great listener, made the whole experience a great time for my wife and I.
Melissa Was extremely professional and just wonderful to work with. I defiantly recommend her!
My husband and I couldn't have asked for a better photographer than Melissa. She made everything seem so easy and effortless for us. Not only was she professional, but she was a lot of fun to work with. She was great with staying on top of communication with us from the very beginning. We loved that she captured the spirit of the day and all the details that encompassed it. I would recommend her over and over again.
Melissa was a dream to work with. Such a great communicator prior to my big day but on the actual day, her creativity just flowed. She is very intuitive to the lighting, to the surroundings, to the wind, to the love that you have with your partner. I was drawn to her because of her beautiful photos that I have previewed. I can’t wait to see how she’s captured the romance between me and my husband. You can’t go wrong having Melissa as your photographer on your special day.
Melissa is a talented photographer and knows how to make everyone feel at ease, gets the photos done efficiently while listens to her clients to do what they want. She knows what’s she’s doing and does it do well. We have used to work many occasions, and will continue to do so. She knows the area and can give recommendations if needed. Finished photos are always BEAUTIFUL! We are So happy and will use her for our next wedding in the family!
Melissa was an absolute joy to work with!! Highly recommend!!! From the moment we booked she had incredible communication and many words of wisdom and advice along the way. On our wedding day she was very professional and also made us feel very comfortable and at ease. We can’t say enough great things about our experience with her. Now we anxiously await for our pictures!!
Working with Melissa was a dream. She made our maternity shoot so enjoyable. We felt totally comfortable and loved every second of it. I just know our photos will turn out perfect. I would absolutely recommend working with her for any event.
Melissa was absolutely amazing! I hired her for our wedding day and she is so easy to work with, makes the day extremely relaxed, we were very short for time and she was still able to capture so many stunning pictures of us, our wedding party and family. She has a super cheerful demeanor and makes the picture taking completely easygoing and stress free. I was extremely happy with how our pictures turned out, every picture was absolutely gorgeous, she really does put a special touch on each one! I highly recommend her, she will not disappoint!
Melissa was the absolute best. She was so nice and refreshing to work with. We got engagement pictures done and were both nervous but Melissa quickly put us at ease and we actually had so much fun doing this shoot. I can’t wait to see how they turned out!
Super fun and easy to work with! Melissa is the perfect balance of professional and easy going. She made my day so fun and worry free, not to mention handling ALL if my huge family photos with extreme efficiency. The photos were beyond beautiful as well. Thanks again Melissa! Could not have asked for a better photographer!
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. PLEASE HIRE A PROFESSIONAL. Melissa was without question the worst part of our wedding day. Please do not be fooled by her website (which looks extremely professional!) as she is an amateur on a good day. I’m more than happy to show anyone how she “photoshopped” my uncle’s face into our family photo of 7 people, as Melissa wasn’t able to tell that his face was completely blocked by his wife while shooting. This was the *only* family photo I would have had from our wedding and she completely missed the mark. How can you not see if 7 adults have visible faces in a photo?? When I brought it up to her after seeing the proofs, she said she could fix it… and the cut and paste editing job she sent back to me is honestly hysterical because it is so bad. I requested a photo of all of our wedding guests after the ceremony…She didn’t even think to stand on a chair/step stool to get a better angle… you can’t even see half of the people in the photo! I could go on and on, but the bottom line is, we screwed up by choosing her instead of hiring a professional. She is lazy and terrible. She applied blanket whitewash filters to every photo and sends them back to you as if they’re gold. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. PLEASE HIRE A PROFESSIONAL. I **promise** you that you’ll get better photos/angles/ideas if you hand an iPhone over to a teenage girl to photograph your wedding. Paying this fraud was the biggest regret of our wedding, do not make the same mistake we did! There is a reason her business isn’t thriving… DO NOT HIRE HER!
Melissa took my high school senior pictures and 4 years later, we loved the work so much we just had to have her do family pics!! She listens to what you want and figures out how to make it work, doesn’t push you to do something you don’t want and is so fun to work with, it’s almost effortless!
Melissa is AMAZING!!! From her energy, her creativity, her talent and everything in between, my experience with her was nothing short of terrific. She is quick to respond to emails and is extremely professional. Moreover, she made my fiancé and I feel totally comfortable for the entirety of our engagement session and our photos are a dream. Absolute dream! She went above and beyond and sent us so many more photos than expected and was extremely timely (two weeks!!!). She is tremendously kind, relaxed, and hardworking. I cannot get over how gorgeous our gallery is. Choosing a photo for our save-the-dates is going to be tough! I highly, highly recommend Lux Light Photography! You will not be disappointed!!!
Melissa is amazing!! From our first interaction we could tell that she truly cares about her clients. She is so easy to work with and we couldn’t be happier with our pictures!! Our wedding pictures look like something out of a magazine, so dreamy!!
Melissa is AMAZING. She is so easy to work with and makes picture taking fun. We are simply stunned with our engagement photos and wedding photos. We had our two dogs in the engagement photos and in the wedding and Melissa worked so well to include them into the photos. The quality of the photos are excellent. Definitely recommend!
I surfed Northern Michigan many photographers before landing on Melissa's page. The style of her photos are so light and bright with some many intimate details. We instantly agreed this was the type of photography we wanted for our wedding.
Working with Melissa was always fun. She brings a lot of energy and enthusiasm to her communication and includes funny stories about her own wedding that are all too relatable.
Melissa has created many wonderful tools to ensure she understands all of the things we wanted for our wedding. It was very helpful for us to go through the steps with the tool she provided to think about types of shots, who should be included, how much time we wanted to spend on photos. She was also great to discuss our decisions and offer suggestions based on her experience.
Our photos turned out amazing. She captured so many wonderful moments from our day that we are so happy with. We really appreciated Melissa making our day so special.
Melissa was so great! When my husband called to say it was raining on his wait to meet for our first look on the beach I was upset. Then it started thunder storming - to say I was nervous how the photo's would turn out is an understatement. Melissa had the best back up location for our first look and the pictures turned out amazing! She was even willing to work with our timeline that was ruined by the rain to be sure I had all the photo's I wanted!
Melissa was absolutely amazing to work with. From the beginning, she was so excited to be apart of our big day and constantly went above and beyond our expectations of reaching out and making sure we were prepared weeks ahead of our wedding.
Fast forward to the day of our wedding and she got even more amazing! Always super chill and patient during all of the craziness, while also making sure we kept to our timeline and accomplished everything we wanted to capture in photos.
Would recommend Melissa over and over again for anyone looking to capture all the beautiful memories, while also remembering to laugh and have fun along the way.
-Tim and Alex Moilanen
Melissa was amazing, and her work is to die for. Melissa made our experience so much more fun with her outgoing and down to earth personality. I swear we laughed the ENTIRE time. I will be going back to her for photos even if it is 4 hours away! Highly recommend.
Let me start by saying there are not enough words in the English language to accurately describe Melissa’s incredible talent, professionalism, and kindness. She was my absolutely, hands-down my favorite professional to work with leading up to and on my wedding day. Melissa is extremely talented at her craft. Our engagement and wedding photos are simply stunning and exude a timeless, romantic, genuine, and joyful feeling. Of all the photographs I’ve had taken in my life, Melissa captured real moments and emotions like I’ve never seen before. What a gift it is to have photographs like this to cherish for years to come! Beyond the beautiful images, what stood out to me even more was what happened behind the camera lens. Simply put, Melissa is the most caring, thoughtful, and kind professional I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. She is committed to her clients and, as a bride in the thick of wedding planning, that is so important. If I ever had a question or idea, Melissa was always an email, text, or phone call away to lend a listening ear and share her professional expertise (she gave the best tips!). Additionally, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Melissa’s contagious optimism and joyful outlook on life. When you’re knee-deep in the midst of wedding planning and/or in the heat of your wedding day, there is nothing better than having Melissa there to share words of encouragement, a positive perspective, and maybe even a picture of her dogs to brighten your day! In other words, Melissa is like having an extra friend to support you during the wedding process. She prioritized getting to know me as a person, not just a client, and always made me feel valued and important. From the tedious work of creating a wedding timeline to the hours and hours of smiling on my wedding day and everything in between, Melissa’s professionalism and kindness ultimately made the entire wedding photography process truly enjoyable. I cannot more highly recommend Melissa as a wedding photographer. Lux Light Photography is truly the best of the best - you get the talent and expertise of a true professional, the most beautiful photographs you’ve ever had, and you’ll walk away with a new friend.
Melissa was absolutely amazing to work with!!! She is so talented, patient, kind and has an amazing personality!!! She made my husband and I feel less awkward when photographing us with her spunky personality!! We had a very large group to photograph at our wedding and she remained calm and was able to keep everyone on track! I can’t express how much we appreciate her!!! We are so excited to see our photos!! 5 stars is not enough for Melissa and her team!!
Melissa and Lux Light Photography were amazing to work with! She was so fun and made us feel so comfortable, she was also so patient with our dogs! I love that we have such amazing photos with them now! And She was so flexible with us and the weather, we switched out date last min due to rain and the pics are stunning! Loved this experience and that we have these photos and memories! Thank you!
I had an AMAZING experience with lux light photography! Melissa was so efficient and made everyone feel so comfortable! The whole bridal party and family were so impressed with how she kept things easy for everyone! There was even an issue (not her fault) and she continued with our photos and was nothing but professional! She even made my new husband comfortable (who hates getting his photos taken)! She was great and so encouraging! We cant wait to get our photos back!
Five stars is not even close to show how phenomenal Melissa and Lux Light Photography is. I am truly amazed and awe struck with Melissa and her talent. Not only is her work hands down stunning but her personality is beautiful.
Her genuine kindness, professionalism, breathtaking talent, and her ability to make you feel so incredibly special is unreal. Melissa was so fun and made our special day even more special, if that is even possible! She felt a part of our family.
Melissa captured every moment perfectly, even when you didn't even know there was a moment to capture. She was always there, to snap a picture, ask if you need anything, and even make sure everything else was running smoothly. There was never a moment we had to stress or worry.
Our wedding day was perfect, and these pictures will be a forever reminder of our unforgettable special day, and I couldn't imagine anyone but Melissa being our photographer.
Melissa exceeded every expectation, from her stellar communication and wonderful website (with all the tips & tricks), to her bubbly outgoing personality and her eye for magical moments. I could go on and on...
We are truly speechless with Melissa. There are not enough words, thank yous, and space on this review to express our gratitude.
We are so impressed with her talent and even more so her kind heart and passion for what she does. We are so lucky to have found Melissa and I am so delighted to call her my friend.
Melissa, you deserve all the cookies, Doritos, Starbucks, and puppy snuggles in the world. You are remarkable. Thank you!
5 stars are not enough for the entire experience Melissa probably doesn't even realize she gives to her clients. She is truly one of the most authentic people we have ever met and we loved seeing someone who loves what they do doing exactly that. She is an incredibly talented photographer and I think the best way to explain her personality is sweetheart meets firecracker. It's contagious and uplifting.
My now husband and I decided the second week of April as we were planning the big wedding for September that we'd 'elope' by the end of the month. As hectic as the planning and prepping was, our photography item on our to-do list was NEVER a hassle thanks to Melissa. We emailed 4 photographers inquiring availability and pricing, and Melissa was the only photographer to not just contact us back that same night, but called us to discuss details and introduce her and her company in a more personal way. We LOVED this. Only to fall in love with Lux Light Photography when we looked thru her website albums and even going on to read her blog that has fabulous articles she's written for engaged couples getting ready for their big day.
We filled out a form she created for her clients and loved all the questions that she asked including especially family relationships//no-longer-relationships that should be kept in opposite corners of the room(: She helped me with what to expect and the 'norms' that I never thought of until about an hour before walking down the aisle... she knew how to keep the bride calm and excited all at once while continuing the flow of photography moments between the daddy-daughter reveal, bridal suite, grooms suite, and knowing the difference between the happily divorced parents and keeping the other set of divorced parents far apart.
Everything about Melissa and her quality of work is simply perfect. We are extremely lucky with how everything aligned for our special day and being able to have a photographer like Melissa capture it. A big big big thanks to Melissa and her professionalism AND personality... she just knew how to keep everyone focused no matter which group of people she was photographing (this was a whole task in itself with our only 27 people guest list of a wedding) while making everyone laugh by being such a personable, bubbly, firecracker that you just KNOW when you meet Melissa this is her authentic self.
5 stars are not enough for Lux Light Photography... Our wedding day would not have been such a blissful event if it wasn't for Melissa. Honestly, my husband said she made the experience feel 'magical' when we were taking our post-wedding pictures as Melissa made us feel so comfortable following her pose directions for 100%, hands-down, the best photos we could've ever wanted while feeling like it was only the two of us out there. Melissa = Magic!(:
Our photographer was wonderful. She was professional and right on time! Our wedding was outside at the end of October...she was efficient with our time in the cold but still made the whole experience fun! Her vision is creative and beautiful! She made me feel like we've been friends for years.
I seriously cannot adequately express in words how great it was to use Lux Light Photography as our wedding photography vendor. Melissa was an absolutely joy to work with. My (now!) husband and I live in Texas and had to plan our Northern Michigan wedding from afar. Essentially, all I had to primarily rely on was reviews from websites like these. From our initial contact with Melissa, inquiring if our wedding date was available, she was very prompt, kind, fun, and incredibly helpful in all of her correspondence with us. This girl seriously knows weddings! She will be able to assist you with just about anything wedding related – not just pictures! She was very instrumental in helping us create a wedding day timeline. My husband and I flew into Michigan a couple of months before our wedding and she was even able to meet with us to go over things. On the wedding day itself, Melissa and her assistant, Ashley, were awesome to work with. They gave amazing directions for all of the poses and honestly, it was very natural and nothing felt forced. After the wedding, we did not have to wait very long at all to receive our pictures. When we did, we were amazed! Literally all of the wedding pictures are gorgeous and we will treasure them forever. If you are like me and relying heavily on reviews when choosing vendors, do yourself a favor and choose Lux Light Photography! Melissa and her team do not disappoint. She is incredible!
My Husband and I decided to do a photo shoot for our 2nd wedding anniversary back in May of this year. We couldn't have been happier with our choice in a photographer! She is absolutely the best we've had! Our pictures came out breathtaking and the locations were perfect. She even was so kind to be flexible with her schedule to accommodate us the night after our original apt due to the weather. The day turned out perfect!
We are so happy to have had Melissa as our wedding photographer! Our wedding was on Mackinac Island and was a little chilly, and Melissa helped us each step of the way. From the beginning, she has been very professional, used great and quick communication, was organized, and was so helpful (even helped carry my train to the next location when needed)! She takes beautiful photos, and we highly recommend Melissa and Lux Light Photography!
Very nice working with Melissa. This is our first outdoor photo shoot and we were very comfortable working with her for our engagement photography. The two locations we got for the shoot were exactly like expected. Looking forward to work with her once again.
Best decision ever!! Melissa is not only one of the best photographers I have had the pleasure to work with but also one of the SWEETEST, most genuine people on the planet! She will do anything to make sure that your wedding day is truly the best day of your life. She understands how crazy the day can get and is so patient if the timeline gets a little off or something doesn’t go exactly as planned. However, she is great with keeping everyone on track if the time is getting away without being pushy – especially when you have two BIG families! She has a super quick turnaround time and also gives you a sneak-peak within only a couple days!! Most importantly, her photos are absolutely STUNNING! She is so gifted and truly loves what she does – and her work reflects that! We can’t thank or recommend her enough!
Melissa was AMAZING! I loved, loved LOVED my experience with Lux Light Photography for my wedding! She was so much fun and so patient with my crazy group! She even helped transport all of us to the beach so I could get my dream photos!
I planned my wedding from Minneapolis and she was so prompt and responsive to all of my questions via email and phone throughout the year. She took some of the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen and everyone in my wedding loved the work she did!
I cannot give enough stars for how pleased I was with the whole experience!
Melissa is wonderful. Her fun, welcoming personality is infectious, which really helps you open up in front of the camera. I really appreciated the extra time she took to address several of my general wedding planning questions. She also is willing to go to far lengths for her clients. It was 10 degrees the day of our engagement pictures and she was all ready to go and had no problem. For our wedding I mentioned pictures in a vineyard would be nice and she found the perfect place.
BEST CHOICE WE MADE FOR OUR ENTIRE WEDDING!!! I don’t even know where to begin, because there really are no words for how amazing Melissa is. She photographed our engagement pictures, my boudoir shoot, and our wedding, and she exceeded our expectations over and over. She was very responsive before our wedding, and a pleasure to work with while we planned everything. During the shoots she was fun, fast and professional, and she was great with our guests during the reception. She was quick with getting pictures to us, did a great job of editing and our final pictures were stunning. We would recommend Lux Light Photography to absolutely anyone and everyone! Thanks Melissa for making our special day such a success!
Melissa and crew were fantastic. I love the special touches they added to the pictures and they went above and beyond to do whatever it took to make things go smoother. Even carried my flowers and brought them to the ceremony when I was in a pinch. The pictures were just gorgeous and I loved the use of light. Definately world class pictures and service from the day I booked Lux Light until after the wedding. They never stopped working for me and my special day!!
Melissa was so amazing. Throughout the entire planning process all the way to the wedding day, Melissa was there every step of the way! She was so organized and made sure I had everything I needed to plan my wedding, outside of the photography even! Her wedding timelines, items to bring lists, photo tips, etc all made the wedding planning and execution seamless. I had 3 young kids in the wedding and she did a phenomenal job capturing their energy and was so patient and helpful with them. She truly helped orchestrate and keep us on track the entire day. Her knowledge and passion were evident from the start of the day to the end. She kept going strong all the way through the reception and didn’t miss a beat! Everyone at the wedding loved her and I couldn’t have imagined a better photographer for my wedding. I would recommend her to anyone! I cannot thank Lux Light Photography enough for everything. I started with a photographer and ended with a friend :)
Melissa is so professional and fun! We used her for our engagement photo session while on vacation this summer in Traverse City, and she was so accommodating and very responsive to our questions and concerns. She stayed in touch with us prior to photos and made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera lens. The locations she brought us to were beautiful --- we can't wait to see our photos and share with everyone! I would highly recommend Melissa!
Melissa was AMAZING!!! She was so organized with everything leading up to the wedding, I didn't have any concerns or questions about how the day would go as she helped me each step of the way through emails, care packages, and info sheets. We were on a budget for our wedding and Melissa was very understanding and accommodating by designing us our own package that fit our needs. Her honesty and flexibility were refreshing as the wedding industry is full of propoganda and people who take advantage.
On the morning of our wedding, she went above and beyond her photographer duties by fastening boutonnieres, checking on our party bus, and just keeping an overall calmness about her. She was fantastic with our families and I CANNOT WAIT to see our pictures.
3 of my 4 bridesmaids want to use her for their own weddings! My husband was nervous about having the pictures look or feel "too staged" and Melissa made him feel so comfortable, he can't stop talking about seeing the pictures too!
Wish I could give 10 stars!!! Melissa is the absolute best. She was more than just a photographer to me. She was a wedding planner (literally gave me my wedding timeline), and also a friend. She made me feel beautiful and confident and was so wonderful to my wedding party and guests. Multiple people from bridesmaids to wedding guests gave me compliments on her. I feel like that is so rare. Can't express how much I appreciated her on my big day. And the photographs...holy moly. Just stunning. Thanks for everything Melissa!
We had the most amazing experience having our engagement pictures taken. She was professional, sweet, and made it so much fun. We were nervous and unsure of what to do, but she helped us every step of the way and made us feel so comfortable. I truly appreciate everything and can not wait to see our photos!!!!!
Melissa did an excellent job with our engagement photos! We even brought our dog and she was great with her too. She was very patient and communicated well what she wanted of us and made us feel like celebrities. Her work is amazing, and we cannot wait to get our photos back and see how they turned out. Highly recommend her if you're looking for great outdoor photos in northern Michigan.
Melissa is an absolute gem and a wonderful person to work with, from start to finish. We could not have asked for a better wedding photographer--and I mean it.
She was incredibly organized and detail-oriented from day one, sending great, communicative emails leading up to our big day. When the day approached, I felt like I didn't have to worry about anything photo-wise whatsoever because I knew Melissa had it covered. We even brought our dog (of honor) to our ceremony and Melissa was able to capture her in the fleeting moments she would actually look at the camera after shouting "Squirrel!!"
We've seen a few previews of our wedding photos so far and of course they look absolutely amazing. We are so happy we chose Lux Light Photography and got to work with Melissa because we know our wedding photos are going to bring smiles to our faces for the rest of our lives.
Thank you so much, Melissa!
-Sierra and Nick, Chicago
Melissa is such a joy to work with! She is so excited about her work, it is palpable and you can’t help but be just as excited. She makes you feel at ease in front of the camera, and I have no doubt our engagement photos will be amazing because of how she made us feel and the care she took throughout the shoot. I can’t wait to see! It’s like hanging out with someone you’ve known forever which is AMAZING when it’s your first go at professional photos. To top that, she’s so easy to communicate with, responsive, knowledgeable, and willing to provide guidance throughout the process. I HIGHLY recommend her!
Fun, professional, and did. not. stop. surprising us! Melissa did our engagement shoot and she and her husband tackled our wedding. Right from the start, she answered all of our questions with enthusiasm, and provided extra details and suggestions before we could even ask.
A few hours of standing in the cold, weird posing, and all the endless smiling could have gotten really old. After meeting Melissa and just a few minutes into our first session, we started having fun! Melissa continued to impress, reassure, and make us feel at ease. She made sure we got multiple locations, amazing poses, and she went over the top to incorporate our winter wedding themes.
And talk about overdelivering! Melissa got our pictures back to us (WAY more images than she promised) in RECORD time. She also had 3-4 posts and a blog with dozens of shots within days of our wedding - it was the perfect sneak peek to enjoy while on our honeymoon.
We've already recommended her to others, and would do the same to anyone who asks! Lock this girl down before she's booked full!
Awesome, to say the least!! She was great. We wanted a winter wonderland and she gave us everything we asked for. She had great vision with photography. She makes you feel comfortable, with every photo. It was a rainy day in Michigan in January, which from what I hear is rare, and she worked around the weather and was so flexible with us. Highly recommend!!
Melissa is absolutely amazing and talented. She is super nice and helpful. She is very creative and the locations and backgrounds she chooses turn out great. Her photos went above and beyond what my expectations were for my wedding photos. I can't thank her enough. I would recommend her to anyone!!
Melissa! This woman went above and beyond! She is so flexible, so friendly, and very knowledgeable. She gets the best shots, is extremely organized, and makes you feel calm and confident. It was like having another wedding planner there, as well. She's experienced, passionate, and loves what she does..... and you can see that reflected in her work. Thank you Melissa for your time, attention to detail, and talent!
Melissa was absolutely amazing!!! From the start she was so timely with her responses to my millions of questions and when the day came she was very organized and professional. She walked us through all the poses and told us exactly what we needed to do which took all the stress off and helped us have fun with our photos. The photos turned out beautiful and we just loved our experience with Melissa and would highly recommend her!
Words cannot describe our experiences with Lux Light Photography. Melissa did our engagement photos first and we were blown away with how comfortable we felt! Professionalism, passion and expertise are just a few ways to describe. We than contacted Melissa again for the second time to see if she was willing to drive 350 miles to shoot our big day. No hesitation, no questions asked she was up for it. My wife and I were so thankful and wouldn't of had anyone other than Lux Light to shoot our big day. The only down fall was.. She is a twins fan 😂!
-Melissa & Tim thank you guys so much for your work on our big day. We appreciate you guys so much!
The Guyziks😀
Melissa was such a JOY to work with! She is the sweetest thing and makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We are so thankful she was there to help us capture our big day! Photography was the biggest thing on my list because photos are what I get to look back on, and she nailed it!
Absolutely stunning!! I cannot say enough amazing things about Melissa and her team. From the start of our experience with them, the professionalism and kindness just blew us away. They were instrumental in making our wedding day relaxed and run smoothly. Their positive and upbeat energy and enthusiasm was contagious and it is evident that Melissa loves what she is doing. Our pictures turned out absolutely incredible!! GORGEOUS!! I cannot believe she was able to capturing all our special moments and beautiful shots of our family and loved ones. We absolutely LOVED our experience with Melissa and Katharine and will be recommend Lux Light Photography to EVERYONE we know!!
Katherine and Cathy were great!!! They had places for us to go for our first look and wedding party pictures since I had no idea where to go at our venue. They were very professional and great at what they did which made our day go smoothly and successfully. We had a large group and they were able to handle us all and the little ones we had in our group too. Melissa was there for me months in advance giving me tips on what to do with everything from our photography to even how to successfully decorate our venue and everything in between. I would highly recommend them to anyone getting married up in the Traverse city area.
Melissa was amazing. From the first moments of our engagement session, to receiving our wedding photos, she was on top of everything. I was consistently impressed with her easy-going nature, and obvious professionalism. This extends to the billing and lead up as well: Melissa emails on a regular basis to keep in touch, and supply you with great wedding photo pointers. She was super helpful when I needed different vendor recommendations at the last minute, too. I enjoyed working with her so much, I booked her for a separate portrait session for photos for my business as well. Overall, my husband and I couldn't be more thrilled with the experience and the results.
Melissa was amazing! She is so much more than a wedding photographer she helped us firm up our time line and was a great resource when I had questions. The photos are amazing I would highly recommend Lux Light. It was well worth the price.
AMAZING! Everything about Melissa is wonderful.... for one her work (just look at her website)! She helps throughout the planning process and is there with you every step of the way. The day of our wedding she was there for everything, the what when where all of it! I can't say enough about her. She is calm and is together. My false lashes were falling off and she was prepared with glue and trimmers to fix them. She has an emergency wedding kit with all the goods a bride could need if there was a bridal emergency! It was the coolest ever. She totally had it covered! HIGHLY recommend Melissa at Lux Light Photography.
Melissa was great to work with! Especially planning from out of state, she was constantly staying in touch before our big day. I had given her certain picture shots I definitely wanted and she made sure those happened. I can't wait to see all of our pictures from her!
