Mel Colvin Photography

we cried just looking at the pictures bringing back so many special moments and seeing so much emotion And LOVE in every picture. A picture is worth a thousand words is so true, and Mel just nailed it!!! I can't say enough, but trust me she is the best you will not regret booking her for any of your needs

ress of changing our wedding date 3 times AND changing our venue she made the process so smooth. On top of that she was EXTREMELY responsive, answering calls, texts and emails. On the day of the wedding she was amazing as well as her assistant! They totally made the process go by efficiently and we didn’t miss a shot. Even with some bumps in the road on the big day Mel and her team kept their cool which in turn gave us peace of mind. The gallery we received was absolutely EXTRAORDINARY - we cannot thank you enough Mel for putting our lifetime of memories into physical pictures! Much love - The Lydon’s❤️

rvices and I am so so glad that were able to book with her. Mel is incredible easy to work with. She has great presence, is very fun and easy going and extremely professional. I've followed her instagram page and her facebook photography page and I love how she interacts with her clients and posts updates on her beautiful work. When we had to change up our whole wedding due to Covid, Mel was very responsive and again so easy to work with. She made the entire process of switching venues effortless. You will absolutely not regret having Mel or her team with you on your special day or any day. Also, shoutout to Mel's assistant who was also a pleasure to work with. She was very friendly and easy going and the two together made for a great pair. Beyond Mel being a great person and someone you would be happy to have with you on your special day, she takes AMAZING photos. I was in love with our engagement photos so I knew our wedding photos would also be great, but I was in shock. They were so so beautiful!!! She knows exactly how to capture the light, make poses seem natural and effortless and find the perfect backdrops. I mean the photos were absolutely stunning, I don't have words for how great they turned out!! Im in love. I have already recommended her services to my close friends and will definitely plan on using her in the future for any family or maternity portraits and shoots without any hesitation. Please head to her page to review her gorgeous work and book a meeting to meet this lovely star in person, you won't regret it. 10/10 !!!

eam location, she made us so comfortable and natural we never felt forced or awkard at all - she brought out the best in us. When it came to our wedding day she was on top of everything. She kept me on schedule and totally calm up to the ceremony and then worked her magic to capture the most beautiful photos of our love, I look at our photos almost everyday and still are absolutely obsessed. After the wedding we even took our two dogs to have holiday photos done with her because we just love her so much! We will be using Mel Colvin Photography for all family photos going forward. Thanks Mel! (:

h and really wanted to get to know us as a couple. She was totally open to our ideas which included an engagement photo shoot on ice! Throughout the shoot she helped us relax and feel comfortable in front of the camera. Leading up to our wedding day she was always available to answer questions for us. We met up to create a photo shot list before the wedding day so we had a timeline for things. We both have large families and she was able to get our formal photos done in record time. Mel also had a second shooter with her to make sure she captured all the moments during our wedding. We had tons of fun mario karting around to different spots at our venue to take pictures of my husband and I before cocktail hour. Through out the night Mel caught beautiful moments and we especially loved our night shots! We can't say enough about Mel and know we will treasure all the photos she captured for the rest of our lives! Greg and I will definitely be going to Mel Colvin Photography for all our future photo needs!

ed that sunlight in every photo was just breathtaking. Personally, I hate having my photo taken, but she makes it such a fun and relaxing experience, I didn't mind at all. We shared a ton of laughs, particularly when a sassy ostrich tried to bite my husband! On a personal note, Mel is one of the warmest and kindest people you will ever meet. She is super accommodating and was more than willing to work with us when we had to reschedule our original wedding date. We'll be calling Mel for all our our future photography needs!

g a nervous bride calm. Her creative eye took our wedding photos to a new level of gorgeous. She exceeded our expectations and words do not do enough justice! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, talented photographer.

t what she does. We did an engagement session to get comfortable in front of the camera, and the pictures came out amazing! On the day of our wedding she showed up early with her second shooter Amy (who was also AMAZING) and got right to work. Mel has a way of making people feel so comfortable. She’s so organized as well. Coming from a big family, getting all the professional shots in worried me. But Mel was able to get every shot we wanted with time for us to enjoy cocktail hour! Contact her immediately, you won’t regret it!

amily she is photographing and you can tell that she truly loves what she does! I would highly recommend anyone looking for a special photographer to document their special day to look no further because Mel is the real deal!

es of me and my husband and captured our special day perfectly. I can’t wait to schedule another photo session with her!

cause I didn't really know what mine was. She got to know me and my fiance well enough to be able to capture our personalities and make everything feel natural. Plus, she knew we wanted to be "at" our cocktail reception - and she made it happen! She and her assistant took just enough photos. AND, she was EXTREMELY flexible with our last-minute changes and family requests. Can't wait to work with her again!

arrived on time with her second shooter and they immediately got to work capturing the day! Both she and her second shooter were never intrusive, but were always there capturing beautiful moments that I didn't even remember happening! We just received our photographs today and they are absolutely STUNNING!Her work honestly does speak for itself! I couldn't be more grateful for the opportunity to work with Mel during our wedding. She's incredible at her job and truly loves her clients. I would highly recommend her to capture any of your life's precious moments!!

ing party needs. The course of the evening went slightly differently than planned in terms of timing (it really does fly by!) but she remained flexible and made sure we had all of the pictures we needed. Mel was a nice calming presence and made us feel like a million bucks. According to our sneak preview pictures, she also made us LOOK like a million bucks! Would recommend her to anyone!! It was also nice that she had an assistant photographer to make sure to capture all the shots that she needed.

was more than we ever could have hoped for! She took every single shot we asked and even snuck some fun night time shots in. She has a hilarious sense of humor and handled both of our crazy families with ease. If you're searching for a genuine, hard working, stealthy/ninja like photographer, Mel is your girl!!!

were so comfortable with Mel and her assistant , we had so much fun!

s you feel so comfortable. I met her at a small bridal expo a little over a year ago now, and knew from that point she was the girl who would shoot my wedding. My fiancé and I set an appointment with her pretty quickly after that and we started making some magic happen. We have since shot our engagement photos with her (it was me and my fiancé's first time getting professional photos done) and it was a great experience! Although it can be awkward to stare and your significant other for long periods of time without laughing, Mel made it so painless and enjoyable. Her work speaks for itself but if you want a photographer who not only does great work but is also a blast to be around, Mel is your gal! You will not be disappointed!

g her work and she is fabulous! She was willing to travel for our wedding and was completely prepared for everything. Mel and her assistant, Sara, were so helpful and patient and really helped the day run smoothly. When I got the email that my photos were ready I could not believe how quickly they were finished! All of the photos are so beautiful, Mel truly does amazing work!! I cannot say enough good things about Mel, I highly recommend working with her!

g our wedding, although that's not until next year. After our original photographer fell through, Mel responded to my "emergency" text within seconds and was very excited about filling in. I loved the look of the photos on her website and decided to take a chance on her...something I definitely don't regret! She was friendly, bubbly, and just such a joy to spend time with. We had tons of laughs, and she spent over 2 hours with us taking photos. She was game for anything and had lots of good poses for us that helped us look nice even though we're both overweight. I had a blast at the shoot and loved that she was able to post a sneak peek of the edited photos on Facebook the next day! Her pricing is extremely fair, especially considering her impeccable quality and professional personality, and it was an easy decision to re-hire Mel for our wedding as well. I have been extremely satisfied with the results of our engagement photoshoot and can't wait to work with her again. So far, she has been extremely helpful and engaged, spending lots of time doing research for our shoot and even helping me find a videographer for my wedding. I could not recommend her services more highly!

el. She went into my husbands work and he came home with her business card and said "I met a photographer today" maybe we should give her a call. I checked out her website and instantly was hooked and down for a meeting. My favorite thing was she just seemed normal, like someone I could hang out with, not stuffy or boring and I instantly was at ease. Then we met and knew immediately that this was the exact person we were looking for!!! One thing I was very adamant about was having an awesome photographer because the pictures last forever. Not only was she very fun and happy but her pricing was very fair. We just got out pictures back and they are beautiful. Mel was very easy to work with and had some great ideas for pictures plus she was open to what I wanted for picture ideas. I was worried about finding a photographer that my husband and I "meshed well" with and we got that with Mel and her assistant. Overall I could not have asked for a better photographer to capture my perfect day. She got all of the getting ready shots, the flowers, jewelry, shoes everything. She also took tons of the ceremony, pictures with my husband and our puppy :) (she likes dogs and that's 100% good in my book) a lot of outside pics of the families, tons of shots inside and beautiful pics at perfect angles of my husband and I. I cannot wait to book again with Mel for my maternity shoot and then family photos.

way being so impressed by Mel. Mel was so accommodating from the very start, from recommending the time of year to get the best foliage pictures to dealing with my indecisiveness when I changed dates and locations. She went above and beyond for us and wasn't even getting paid! My fiance and I aren't very comfortable in front of the camera but Mel made us feel very relaxed and at ease. The teasers we received that night were so gorgeous, we couldn't wait to see the rest. Her turn around time was so quick and we were not disappointed! It was so hard to pick a favorite because all of the pictures came out so beautiful! We used a couple of the photos for our 2014 Christmas card and I have received so many compliments on the beautiful pictures. I highly recommend Mel Colvin Photography for any big life event you'd like photographed. She is a true talent!

s very friendly and compassionate when it comes to her work. She is willing to take any shot that you want and will give suggestions for poses. For our wedding, I was running a little late from my hair appointment and she was more than patient and actually got some pictures done of my dress and accessories while she was waiting and met me at my hotel, and then met my bridesmaids at Slater park to take pictures at the gazebo. Even tho we were running a little behind she never rushed us and took some amazing shots and some fun ones. Her assistant was with my husband and groomsmen and were taking pictures of them. They did a superhero picture that was hilarious. We also had a Photo Booth and Mel and the people she worked with were amazing! My guests had an absolute blast with it and there was always someone taking a picture until the very end of the night. Mel truly captured a very special day for us with her creativity and understanding. You will never be rushed and she will always take any picture you would like, which for us was quite a few! Anytime we are in Rhode Island and need photos taken, we will definitely be contacting Mel!

cial day. Mel is experienced and goes above and beyond to make sure your day will captured forever in pictures. I highly recommend her.

iful, natural pictures of the ceremony and reception. We were so pleased with the results. Mel gave us photos that truly represented who we are and what our special day meant to us. She was so easy to work with and really listened to what we wanted.

ve and beyond when it came to looking for a place to take pictures. At the last minute I was told I could only take pictures in certain places at the reception area. Mel personally went down not only to scope out "the certain" areas but personally went to Goddard Park to look for a new place and to look at scenery. I was not able to go with Her but when I asked her if she could go she did not hesitate. Mel found beautiful areas inside the park. I truly respect and admire her for going out of her way to make me happy. Mel and her staff also did a photobooth at my wedding. I think this was the first time I actually seen a photobooth non-stop. The photobooth got a little crazy( was near the bar)at the end because everyone wanted pictures. Mels staff has patience with every person and made sure everyone got a picture. Thank you so much for everything you did. I am forever grateful and I am happy you were part of my day that I will always remember.

which made our wedding that much more enjoyable, and it shows in our photos. We've received our sneak peek already and the photos are absolutely beautiful. She achieved exactly what we were envisioning and we can't wait to see more.

eing the center of attention but Mel made me very comfortable and our pictures reflected that. We had the best mix of formal pictures, hilarious "action" shots from the reception and our memories will forever live on in these photos. I couldn't ask for much more in my wedding photographer!

ou want her to capture. I've used her for family portrait sessions as well and will call on her time and time again! I whole-heartedly trust her to capture the milestones in my family's life.

a relaxed environment so the whole bridal party felt at ease. She was unobtrusive and able to capture amazing candid loving moments. Great value, great quality! I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer! I look forward to working with her again!

great things to say. My husband and I had a very rustic/country themed wedding and we wanted our engagement pictures to reflect this theme. While we knew what theme we wanted, we did not have a place in mind on where to go for the actual pictures. Mel found this amazing barn/farm for us to go to that we never would have found on our own. I would recommend Mel Colvin Photography to anyone and I look forward to working with her again!

d and I as well as our guests. She is so patient and calm which helped ease my wedding day anxieties! Mel also brought a fabulous assistant, Erica, who went above and beyond! What I love most of all about Mel Colvin Photography is the passion she exudes in her work. I highly recommend Mel for all of your photography needs!

yone. She is very artistic and captured some great moments. We got married on May 9th, 2009. It feels just like yesterday, especially when I look back on these photographs. On top of being professional, she is a nice person. I only like to work with people I click and mesh with. My only advice, which I didn't know because I was never married before, is be patient with the pictures. Sometimes they can take six months to a year with all the work that goes into editing-and you are not the only client. I didn't know that or thought about it. So just be patient and you will have the pictures you were so excited to see. You will not be disappointed with Mel and any assistant she choses to aid her with the photos.

al photos of my husband and I with our family. I especially loved one picture in particular of the two of us with all the guests gathered on the steps of the church for one GIANT group shot! So fun to have memories like that captured on film. I would definitely recommend Mel Colvin for your wedding day photographer!
