M.A.D. IMAGES, INC. 👰🏼👰🏼/ 👰🏼🤵🏻/🤵🏻🤵🏻

Melissa did an incredible job!! We originally used her for our engagement photos, which came out fantastic. What’s cool is that she makes the process seem so natural and easy. Not once did we feel awkward with the poses or photos. After having such an incredible experience with the engagement photos, we decided to use her for our wedding as well. She did not disappoint. Where to begin… Her ability to keep everything on track is amazing. She could be a part time wedding coordinator. She knows how to go with the flow and react appropriately when different situations arise. She can handle multiple personalities, which says a lot considering everyone gets a little… excited… on their wedding day. A massive storm hit and power went out in the venue the evening of the wedding. Melissa didn’t miss a beat. She was taking photos the entire time and they came out AMAZING! I was so worried, but then she gave us a little sneak peak and the worry washed away. 10 out of 10 – Melissa is the freaking bomb dot com.

Melissa is incredible! She has great energy and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera (no small feat). Her style is exactly what we were looking for, and the care and inclusivity she focuses on in her work comes across in her portfolio. Our engagement and wedding photos turned out absolutely beautiful and we couldn’t be more pleased. If you’re looking for the perfect photographer to capture your moments, you can’t go wrong with Melissa!

When I was searching for a wedding photographer, I wanted to find someone who not only captured beautiful images and edited them in a style I love, but I also wanted to find someone who would make me feel comfortable and special – Melissa checked every single one of these boxes. I immediately knew when I looked through her images on her website that Melissa was an artist who admired and celebrated all people. This level of inclusivity and care made me feel instantly connected to her and her work. After our initial meeting, I knew she was going to be the perfect choice to capture our special day. At both our engagement shoot and our wedding day, Melissa was focused, organized, fun, professional, and made us feel so comfortable and seen. Her customer service was also unmatched. From offering payment plans to being so kind and understanding when we had to move our wedding date due to the pandemic, she was a dream to have on our vendor team! I look at the photos Melissa took for us nearly every single day. Her energy and care for her craft is so palpable and absolutely comes across in her photos. If you book M.A.D Images, you will be so glad that you did!

I cannot even begin to put into words all the great things I have to say about Melissa! She took our honeymoon photos after having a not-so-great experience with a different wedding photographer and the difference was unbelievable. Melissa is truly THE BEST OF THE BEST in her field. You can tell she really loves her craft and puts her whole heart into her work. Not only is she such a sweet, kind, and easy to talk to person, but Melissa has a way about her that makes you feel instantly at ease and comfortable. You don’t have to worry about feeling anxious or out of your comfort zone, because Melissa will guide you through every moment. My only wish is that I would’ve found her sooner to be our wedding photographer! Don’t hesitate to book with her because you really are guaranteed the most amazing photos you’ve ever seen!

Melissa is *a star*. I have said over and over since our wedding that Melissa is one of the vendors that I was happiest I chose to work with. She was prompt, knowledgeable and truly worked to create what we wanted. Melissa worked with our venue and our coordinators to be sure all the photos captured were in the style we wanted - and there was not a bad photo captured. She grabbed gorgeous photos, was efficient and helped to move people through poses. Since the day, she’s stayed in touch and we’re excited yo work with her in the future. We’ve loved her so much, we’re recommending her to our friends here up in NH. 15/5 ⭐️ - highly, highly recommend.

I would recommend Melissa over and over again. She’s truly amazing @ what she does and knows exactly how to capture your moment perfectly. Our pictures came out BEAUTIFUL! Couldn’t be happier with them ❤️

Melissa was absolutely AMAZING! She is extremely friendly, helpful, accommodating, and FUN! All of our guests are raving about our wedding photos and if we had to do it again we would hire Melissa 10x over!

Where do I even start.. Melissa went above and beyond before we even booked her. From the first time we met her at a wedding expo, my husband and I knew she was going to be our photographer. Her style is so amazing and unique, we instantly fell in love with her photographs. Instead of just treating us like we were just another couple whose wedding she was going to shoot, she treated us like we had been friends for years. When we did our engagement shoot, my husband and I were a little nervous since we had never had professional pictures done before. Melissa made us feel instantly better! She was there making us laugh, talking us through it all and telling us stories of her and her husband doing sessions and what they do to ease their nerves. Melissa was not only here for us as our amazingly talented photographer, but she also always had a helping hand for ANY wedding question we had. She made me feel so relaxed at times when I was just a big ball of stress. Fast forward to our wedding day.. She was a freaking champ!! Our day wouldn’t not have NEARLY gone as smooth as it did if it wasn’t for her! Melissa is amazing at her job and making sure everything was on time with all the pictures and the timeline we had against the sunset (fall weddings lol). My husband and I will always use Melissa for any of our future shoots we have. We are thrilled to have found such an amazingly talented photographer and friend! We love you Melissa ❤️

Melissa was beyond amazing. Our first phone convo lasted about an hour, she was so easy to talk to. I felt from the beginning that she really understood our wedding vision and the picture were truly incredible. I was not prepared to have sneak peek photos AT THE RECEPTION. We are now over 2 months past our wedding and my husband and our families are still talking about how incredible Melissa was. Anyone I show photos to comments on the beautiful colors, Melissa's eye for photography, and the great quality of her editing. We could not recommend Melissa enough as a wedding photographer.

Melissa is a true artist who not only perfectly captured the essence of our day but also created a timeless capsule of that joy and made us look much cooler than we are and for that I am very grateful (lol!) Aside from her exquisite talent, she is funny and makes you feel effortlessly at ease. From our initial meeting to the engagement session to our last dance, Melissa’s passion and fantastic energy was such a blessing and made her an absolute gem to work with. She seamlessly wove through our many snafus and schedule delays with grace and kindness and I appreciate it more than she’ll ever know.  We got sneak peeks the day of our wedding and that was the coolest thing ever! So lovely to be able to have some photos for us that quickly. I will recommend Melissa at the top of my lungs and from the bottom of my heart to anyone and everyone and I can't wait to work with her again for some family sessions or portraits in the future - she is absolute magic!!!!!!

There are no words to express how thankful I am to have booked Melissa Dozier-Jones as our Wedding Photographer. From our first interaction over email to meeting her in person, Melissa is super personable; you can just feel the bubbly energy exude from her personality, it’s contagious. Not only was she very engaging during our time together, but she has a gift of making the setting feel as natural as possible while she captures the moments to make them perfect. Her love for her work really shows throughout the entire process. I truly cannot pick a favorite photo of my husband and I, because there are just too many to choose from!! She is very talented as an artist, and you will not be disappointed.

Melissa was honestly just the best to work with. She was such a pleasure to work with during our planning stages and so flexible with day of crazinesses. Our pictures are gorgeous and exactly what we were looking for.

It was love at first sight with Melissa! From start to finish she was a dream to work with. Her photography style is what drew me to her but then her kindness, creativity, and just way cool vibes is what sealed the deal! I wanted a photographer that would really take the reigns. I knew what type of photos I wanted to capture from our engagement shoot and wedding but it was Melissa who helped guide us and capture the moments I was looking for. I told her I get super uncomfortable in front of the camera and she was so sly, quick and fun that my insecurities went out the window. Her second photographer for the wedding/reception, Kristin was also absolutely incredible! And now, the photos! Holy cow! Each one better than the last! We have gotten so many compliments on these photos and are ordering our wedding album through her. Thank you so much, Melissa! You are so incredibly talented and couldn’t have imagined going with anyone else!

We knew before we even got engaged that Melissa was the one who we wanted to photograph our special day as well as our engagement photos. I have been following Melissa’s work for years and it’s amazing how much she has advanced at her photography skills. One of our favorite things about Melissa is that she knows how to make you feel comfortable and relaxed during the entire process. I loved all of her ideas for the photos and how she will do pretty much any ideas that you have too. She also came to the rescue for anything we needed help with during our wedding day. The photos are well worth the wait and you will not be able to stop looking at them. We will cherish them forever. She is definitely someone you want as part of your crew for your big day. If we ever need a photographer again we know who we would choose, M.A.D. Images, inc.! :)

What an amazing experience my husband and I had with Melissa. So kind, so creative and so so patient, with the chaos that comes with the wedding season that is most appreciated ! Our photos look like a piece of ART WORK. Many friends and families love how the night was captured and even possesses prints to display for others. I was so pleased by her that I have gone on to refer her as someone did for me, because everyone must know of the amazingness that is Melissa. She is professional, responsible, well organized. She is open to what best showcases the couples love; from poses, to locations. She also has a great quality of assisting where you need her help, even beyond the lens. So appreciative of the team of people that made our wedding day amazing, and Melissa of course being one of them <3

Melissa was very helpful during the entire planning process. She was quick to respond, easy to talk with, and thought of all the small details that I never would have. During the wedding she was deliberate with her instructions and SO much fun to work with. Her photos are beautiful and timeless, and we are so excited to show them to our kids and grand kids one day. I would recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a photographer.

Melissa is amazing. I don’t know a better way to put it. She helped keep me calm on the big day of and directed us through our photos all while keeping us on time. She really was the missing puzzle piece to our big day. I can’t imagine having anyone else there with how she makes you feel like you’ve been friends for years. I honestly love her and refuse to recommend anyone else💕

Melissa is seriously the best!!! She is so skilled at what she does and has that creative eye for capturing those magical moments. Everyone felt so comfortable around her and it was definitely because she has such an amazing personality. I felt like she really became a best friend through this whole planning process. I came to her with so many questions and most were not even photography related and she was always so responsive and so willing to help and talk it through. I can’t thank her enough for helping me keep my sanity. Melissa knows what she is doing, so please book her and let her do her thang!!! I promise you won’t be disappointed. We are so excited to have these memories to last us a lifetime!!!

Working with Melissa was an absolute joy! I spoke to almost every photographer in our state and really wanted someone who’s work I loved but also I clicked with super well and I found all of that in her! The photos speak for themselves and are absolutely beautiful, but to speak on how genuine and wonderful Melissa is as a person is a whole other story. She is attentive, compassionate and absolutely hilarious. Without her, our day wouldn’t have been complete. Thank you for all you did for us!

I can not say enough great things about MAD Images! I spotted Melissa at an expo and instantly fell in love with her beautiful photography. Her photos captured the essence and spirit of love. Leading up to our wedding, Melissa was beyond helpful. She answered all my questions pretty quickly and gave some great ideas and suggestions. On our special day, Melissa KILLED IT!! She makes you feel so comfortable in front of her camera. She was able to herd our bridal party (not an easy task), got all the shots we wanted and then some!! She is truly amazing at what she does! She is a pure talent. I’m so happy she was there to capture our big day and all the special moments!

Melissa has such a beautiful and genuine passion for what she does and it’s reflected immensely in her photos. Working with Melissa was personally my favorite experience as a customer ever!! She has an ability to make you feel so comfortable and confident which really helped to allow for natural non posey photos. And can we talk about her style of editing?? LOVE!! She is an absolute gem!

Aside from the fact that you will feel as if you and Melissa have been friends for years and that she is one of the coolest people ever - the love and happiness that she is able to capture in her pictures is truly unparalleled. From our sunrise engagement session in downtown St. Pete to our boho Anna Maria Island beach wedding, Melissa showcased her incredible natural talent, fun-loving nature, and genuine concern for the best photos and outcome for our big day. She will take on whatever role is needed to make sure your day is perfect - friend, coordinator, drill sergeant (as needed during family photos). We received our engagement session sneak peek the SAME DAY, and our wedding sneak peek within 48 hours! You won’t find anyone as dedicated and talented as Melissa, so end the search here and book her as soon as possible. It’ll be your biggest wedding day regret if you don’t!

Melissa was such a wonderful photographer. I don't even know where to begin. Her personality and enthusiasm for her work is truly inspiring. My husband and I are not very comfortable in front of the camera and Melissa made it fun. She really knows how to direct you and get really natural photos. She made us feel and look like a million dollars without paying a million dollars. She's worth every penny, you seriously don't even have to think twice about it.

Melissa is such a talent and was such a delight to have around on one of the most important days of our lives. Her energy is so sweet, bubbly, and infectious that we forgot that we were even nervous for both our engagement shoot and our wedding photos- she's just that good! Every single photo from both of our sessions had our jaws on the floor and everyone always compliments them. If you're looking for a responsive, fun, gifted, and incredible photographer experience from start to finish, then look no further. Melissa is your girl!

I cannot say enough great things about this photographer. She loves her work and you can tell. She always responds to messages and any questions or concerns one might have. Again, while she is such an amazing person, it was her work and image that sold me. During our first meeting with Melissa, she showed us examples of the albums and that’s when my husband was sold. He really wanted to find someone who can capture and retell our wedding day and we found that in Melissa. At the wedding, everyone complimented us on her work ethnic and she was just so smooth and flawless. She will get the photos you want, don’t you worry. Again, this lady is the one you want at your wedding. Her photos are the ones you want to show your family for years to come. 10/10 would always recommend.

I cannot describe how wonderful it was having Melissa as our wedding photographer! My husband I and I are not the best at taking photos but she made us and my whole wedding party feel right at ease! She captured the most beautiful photos that people are still raving about! And she gave us sneak peak photos so quick it blew my mind! We also hired her to provide a photo booth for the reception and it was the hit of the night! Everyone loved it! I couldn't have asked for anything more from a photographer, she made our day wonderful!!! Everyone should hire her if you get a chance!

I have one word, WOW. She freaking killed it. I just got my sneak peaks (two days after my wedding AND she shot another wedding the day after mine). We NEEDED (and so do you) a photographer who isn’t scared to tell people where they need to be/what they need to do. We had requests for lots of group photos and she handled it perfectly. **Most importantly, during our first look, I was a hot mess that couldn’t keep it together*** one of the venue staff ran to get me a towel but Melissa ever so kindly LITERALLY let me wipe my snot with her dress. Like WHO does that??? She was a saint to work with and soo patient with me and all the guests.

If you love her photography style then you’ll love Melissa. She was very responsive during the whole process. We seriously asked her at least a hundred questions and she always got back to us right away! She was able to keep us and our larger families calm, cool & collected while we did photos before the ceremony. Melissa was one of the first vendors we hired because we fell in love with her photos and her personality/professionalism just cemented everything for us. She can capture beautiful photos even when you feel you’re not photogenic! She makes you feel photogenic! Book Melissa!!

There's only one word that comes to mind when I think of Melissa- B A D A S S. She works hard to make you feel comfortable and at ease during your photoshoots, and is just a wonderful human being. She did our engagement photos and had me & my (then fiancee, now husband) cracking up the entire time! My fiancee, who is not a fan of photos, said he even enjoyed the session which is a HUGE win in my book. And as for our wedding, we got SO many compliments on how helpful and interactive she was throughout the day. And we received even more compliments on our sneak peek photos she posted the DAY AFTER our wedding! Melissa knows how exciting it is to see your photos, and she works hard to get as many quality photos to you as soon as possible so you can ooh and ahh with all of your family members at brunch the next day. :) Overall, I will excitedly recommend Melissa to anyone that wants an amazing photographer to capture their special moments in the most beautiful way. :)

I can't say enough wonderful things about Melissa! She by far exceeded our wedding photo dreams (she also did our amazing engagement photos!). She understood what we wanted and our style and made sure to get every photo we wanted. She was organized and created a detail timeline so that we could get every shot we wanted. She never appeared to be stressed (and she helped calm me down when I got overwhelmed). We are completely over the moon with how our photos turned out and I would recommend Melissa 1000 times again! You will not regret choosing Melissa to capture your day!

Melissa was born to be a photographer! She was the constant calm during our crazy wedding day. She is sweet, professional, and FUN! Our engagement session was unbelievable and our wedding photos were even better. She listened to what I wanted and made my moody wedding dreams come true. She’s worth every cent and created stunning photos we will cherish forever. Book her!!

Melissa and her team were just incredible on our special day. She is so friendly and so creative. There were no awkward moments or silences, it was like working with an old friend. she worked with my husband and I wonderfully to create the beautiful images she captured. In all of her work she really captures the essence of the couples she is working with and for us she made every image come alive with the love we share for each other. These pictures will be with us for the rest of our lives and I am so happy we chose M.A.D Images.

I cannot put into words have amazing Melissa is! From our engagement photos to our wedding photos everything is absolutely amazing!! She makes you feel comfortable and captures your true self! One of my favorite things is her quick turn around time! Sneak peaks the very next day! Thank you for everything, Melissa!

Where shall I start? My (now) husband and I decided to elope from Sweden to New York City for our wedding in November 2018. We set the date to the 31st of May 2019. Even though we wanted a small wedding we wanted a photographer who could capture our day and us. We got in touch with Melissa and everything felt right from the first time we got e-mailed. She understood what we wanted and helped us with the whole planning process which made us feel relaxed. And even though my husband and I were a bit uncomfortable about standing in front of the camera, Melissa did an amazing job of letting us feel safe and natural and even spoiled us with a sneak peek the day after our wedding. We can't get enough of our photos. Her style is just right for us. If you're looking for a dedicated, warm, lovingly, professional photographer, Melissa will give you all of that and then some more.

Where do I start about Melissa? I knew from the moment we first met at our engagement shoot that we had made the right choice. She makes you feel completely comfortable and at ease (not an easy feat working with someone as awkward about getting their picture taken as me). In the weeks leading up to the wedding, she was so organized and helpful. She had me let her know exactly which groupings of family members I wanted photos with so that we used our time immediately after the ceremony the most efficiently and were never rushed. She was always patient when I changed my mind- all 50 times- or when I thought of a new pose or place I wanted a picture taken. We just got our full album (much sooner than expected), and, WOW. Everything is perfect. We literally have so many pictures "favorited" that we can't decide which ones we want to blow up and print or put in an album. They are all THAT good. I would absolutely recommend Melissa and M.A.D. IMAGES, INC. for any event, wedding, or photo session. She has that artistic eye that you want behind the camera to capture the most important and special moments of your life. Thank you so much Melissa!

Melissa was absolutely AMAZING. She makes you feel so comfortable and natural when you are taking photos. Both my (now) husband and I absolutely HATE getting our photos taken, and she made the entire process so fun, and took any anxiety that we had away with her fun presence & positive energy. We did both our engagement and wedding photos with her and they turned out incredible. Not only is her work beautiful, but if you are shy or uncomfortable she knows exactly how to bring out your confidence and work at a pace that is comfortable for you. Melissa was there for me throughout my entire planning process, and listened to me vent, and dealt with me changing my mind 100 times, and never made me feel bad about it, and was always able to calm me down & listen. If you are looking for beautiful and unique photos, look no further. I highly recommend Melissa, and could not imagine having another photographer!

Melissa is amazing at what she does. She has an unbelievably talented eye for photographing couples. She's one of a kind in her creative uniqueness; she not only understands how to capture the genuine love between two people, she also has an amazing personality that's guaranteed to make you feel comfortable, make you feel at home, and really enjoy working AND laughing with her. Her support, advice and commitment on my wedding day really allowed me to relax because I knew I was good hands! If you are thinking of hiring MAD images, YASSS, do it! You won't be disappointed. She has captured beautiful memories of my husband and I that we will always look back on and cherish.

Melissa is amazing to work with! I’m really shy and don’t love getting my picture taken. Melissa made me feel completely comfortable and made engagement pictures and wedding pictures enjoyable. Not to mention she does as amazing job on editing and catching all the special moments.

Melissa is nothing but amazing. I saw her work and knew that it had to be her photographing our wedding. Our sit down was so comfortable and inviting and no doubt knew I made the right choice. From the time we met until the day of the wedding she was more than our photographer, she became a friend. Her ideas, her work, her motivation and excitement is just incredible. She captured our day better than I could’ve imagined. I look forward to having many more shoots with Melissa. Never disappointed in any work I see of hers!

I stumbled upon Melissa’s website by luck. A good friend of mine recommended her wedding photographer, but unfortunately, she stopped doing wedding gigs. This was a great disappointment, because I was looking for vendors from trustable sources (my friends). With uncertainty, I started my Google search for what it would be our wedding photographer. I somehow typed the magic words that led me to a WeddingWire forum where a person highly recommended Melissa. As soon as I opened her website, I was in love. He photos delivered feelings of nature, rustic, realness, organic, industrial vibes. Even further, when I started filling out her contact form- I was taken aback because her service got personable even before our first form of direct communication. We instantly connected! Melissa is a very friendly, easy-going individual -yet, professional and damn good at her profession! For our engagement session, she brought with her Kristin -which also has her own photography company- and to our advantage, she is married to a Puerto Rican guy. We did our engagement photo session and Kristin -out of nowhere- pointed out some of the Puerto Rican cooking items we have in our kitchen and the idea of using them for our photos. Oh boy, I couldn’t be prouder of those pictures and how fortunate I feel of not only having her at our engagement photo session, but also in our wedding day. One of my main concerns when looking for vendors was to find people who were very sensible to our Puerto Rican culture and treat my family with the respect they deserve. Let me tell you from my mother’s mouth -and I can confidently say that this also resonates with all my family members that were present that day- that Melissa, Kristin and * felt like there were there not just to do their job, but to enjoy with us and be part of our big day. Their patience with my family, the niceness of how my family was treated by them has no price. I owe them big. Finally, my wedding pictures… I would never trade them from anything in the world. I could not see them any other way. From the bottom of my heart, Melissa and Kristin, thank you for creating memories that will last forever!

Our wedding was almost 3 weeks ago and i am still obsessing over how amazing Melissa is. You will never meet a photographer more passionate about what she does and more passionate about YOU! When we first met Melissa at our engagement photo shoot I knew we had picked the best photographer. She is unbelievably talented and creative, and just truly the best at what she does. She is so sweet and down to earth and made both me and my husband feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She took all my anxieties about timelines, ceremony/reception mishaps, and the photos we would want away. She goes over and beyond. She made our wedding day the least stressful day out of the entire wedding planning process. We immediately fell in love with our engagement photos and all our families and friends still talk about them. She captured so much love, and every sweet, funny, and perfect moment from start to finish. And she did the exact same thing at our wedding. She has such a creative eye and has already given us such unique and truly perfect pictures. I am so STOKED to see the rest. 10000/10 would recommend M.A.D. images for your special day. You will NOT regret it!

Melissa is truly the best photographer I have ever met. We could not have asked for a better person to capture our day. Not only did we fall in love with her past work, but once we chose her, she was the best from beginning to end. The passion she has for her work sets her far apart from any other photographer!! She is excited along with you when she captures the perfect moment. She is the easiest person to work with and incredibly dedicated to making you feel as though you are truly the most important on your day! She even sent us a sneak peak just hours after our wedding. Truly the best!

Stop here you've found your photographer!! There aren't enough words to express how lovely it was to work with Melissa. She was prompt, professional, and so kind to work with. I couldn't imagine anyone capturing our special day more beautifully than the way Melissa has. It's impossible not to have a smile on your face when working with Melissa, she brought lightness into every facet of her profession. She was so incredibly friendly, and honestly made me feel very comfortable in front of the camera. My husband and I are through the roof with how incredibly perfect our photos are, and will no doubt be working with Melissa again. Thank you Melissa forgiving our wedding photos more life than I could have ever imagined.

Melissa is amazing. We loved her From the moment we met her for our engagement shoot and after we saw those pictures we were beyond excited to have her booked for our wedding. I am so happy I found her right after seeing her Instagram feed of her photography I was obsessed. She has such a good energy and is fun to be around and I just vibed with her the moment I met her she felt more like a friend then just a photographer. She gave us about 40 pictures from our wedding the very next day !! We were so happy about that ! She has such a creative eye and a true talent I would recommend her to everyone. I love her work so much I will book her for anything just because lol if you are looking for a photographer for your special day she is your gal !! I promise you ! All my guests loved her she was very professional and kept the ball rolling to make sure I got the pictures I wanted. And was also very quick to respond anytime leading up to the wedding. I honestly can not say enough good things about her. She is a true gem :)

Melissa did such a wonderful job on our engagement and wedding photos! She really captured each and every moment so perfectly. I’m so excited to print out most of the photos I received from her to hang around the house, and I love the way she edits the photos as well! She was also super quick in delivering our pictures, and she’s willing to endure anything to get the perfect shot (whether it be hiding in bushes, standing in a downpour, etc.). I highly recommend her!😊

Wow! Wow! WOW! All I can say is wow! Melissa at MAD images is above and beyond anything we ever imagined. She went out of her way to get to know us and provided very professional and high quality images. She is truly talented! I have worked with Melissa on three different occasions within the past 6 months and each time she has taken the time to answer any questions and provide her honest thoughts to ensure we receive the best photos. We are beyond pleased with our photos! We can’t wait to print them all and hang them up! 😍
