Melanie photographed my wedding on 12/11/21. She was truly such a joy to work with from start to finish! Melanie was extremely responsive and organized throughout the entire planni...
ng process. On the day of the wedding, she was so organized and helped out with so many tasks, making sure my husband and I were able to enjoy our day. We had multiple compliments from the wedding party/guests about Melanie's professionalism and helpful personality! We got our photos back and were BLOWN AWAY by how beautiful they were. Both of our families loved them, and we know we will cherish them for years to come. She captured so many moments in a natural way - you could tell she caught the real emotions and moments of the day that were special! I would highly recommend Melanie to any and all central IL brides!
Melanie is an AMAZING wedding photographer and went ABOVE & BEYOND for our wedding! From the very start, we felt at ease with her professionalism and positivity. She ensured all...
was set and organized for a seamless day. She captured so many special moments which showed through all the photos we received. We think of her as family with how she connected with everyone throughout the ceremony, pictures after in the church and then the reception. She is by far the BEST! Thank you Melanie for lifetime memories!
Melanie did an amazing job with the photography at my wedding reception! She was super easy to work with and I would recommend her to anyone!

d and get the photos back. She also was great with helping us include our dog in some of the pictures and being very patient with him! I would definitely recommend and come back to her for future photos!
I loved working with Melanie for my engagement photos. I reached out to her in January and was able to get a weekend session within 2 weeks. We emailed back and forth in the week l...
eading up to the session to talk about potential sites. I am new to the area of Champaign, Illinois so I wasn’t much help besides saying I would like some greenery shots and maybe a cafe shot. She gave recommendations and even drove to Champaign to scope out sites for us. My fiancé and I have never had professional photos taken before so we were pretty nervous about if it might be awkward or if we wouldn’t know how to pose but Melanie made it so easy. She was easy to talk to and made us feel so comfortable. She gave us cues for poses and things to make us laugh. I loved the whole experience and my fiancé and I really felt the love after such a sweet afternoon. To top it all off, she had our beautifully finished photos to us for downloading within a week of the shoot. She was professional, fun, sweet, and timely. I will absolutely be reaching out to Melanie for any of my future photography needs.
Melanie is absolutely amazing. Not only is she talented and professional, but her way of connecting with the people she works with is unmatched. I first teamed up with Melanie to t...
ake photos of my siblings and I for a Mother’s Day present. I was so in love with her work that I have had her take my engagement photos and photos of my newborn, which turned out absolutely beautiful. Melanie will continue to be my go-to-photographer for every life event!
Me and my fiance recently had a session with Melanie and it was such an amazing experience. Her artistic direction and the candid conversation reminded us that our love for each ot...
her is just like riding a bike (unforgettable). And she was so accommodating. She didn't care that she was losing feeling in her fingers in the middle of December. She gave us the jacket off of her back to make sure that our clothes wouldn't get dirty! Working with Melanie was truly an experience that we won't forget and we would do it again.
I found about Melanie through a mutual friend. I was having a lot of trouble trying to find the right photographer and I like hearing what other people have to say about their exp...
eriences. Our friend couldn’t stop raving about how good Melanie was. I decided to take a look at her work and I absolutely loved all of it; from the engagement photos to the new born pictures on her site. I loved them all!
We initially met at the location of my venue about a month before. Right off the bat I felt comfortable with her. She brought her adorable son (that she had a month before… never would have guessed ) and throughout the whole meeting she was entirely focused on me and my wedding. She was extremely organized and knew all the right questions to ask. She even helped ME put a schedule together.
The day of the wedding was very nerve wrecking for me. Throughout the whole day Melanie was calm and collective and never seemed to feel the rush/panic of the day in any way! I didn’t have a list of specific pictures that I wanted to be taken, but Melanie had a list of ones she wanted to get in. She was always asking if there was something else that I wanted to do or a different position I wanted. She was very conscious of making sure we had every picture we wanted. I can’t say enough great things about Melanie and her assistant. They were extremely patient when it came to my brother in law, whom is mentally handicapped. Melanie was always able to get his attention, keep it and make sure he was always looking at and smiling for the camera. She did a phenomenal job with him! They were unbelievably patient when it came to my husband as well. He doesn’t like taking any pictures and spending the whole cocktail hour taking pictures isn’t his first choice. Both Melanie and her assistant were extremely cooperative with him. They didn’t feel his pressure but also wanted to make sure that they got all the pictures they needed. I literally can’t say enough good things about Team Melanie! I’d chose her again and again if I had to do it again. I just can’t wait to see the final product because I KNOW the pictures are going to be amazing!
