Melanie Jarvie

d Melanie was able to seamlessly mesh her own style with our aesthetic. It truly felt like a creative collaboration from start to finish, and was one of the most fun experiences of our wedding. In addition to being a bada** behind the camera, Melanie is someone you want in your corner on your big day. She was communicative throughout the process, making it easy to develop a shot list, and choose a first look location. Melanie was incredibly adaptable and went with the flow during the wedding, ensuring we got the photos from our shot list, despite my being late to our first look location. She's so friendly and welcoming, and her demeanor allowed us to be silly and authentic in our photos. Overall, it was a wonderful experience to work with her and I would HIGHLY recommend her.

e to have some fun! She is extremely personable and made us both feel so comfortable the second our pictures began. She really had an eye for capturing a perfect moment. She is so helpful in telling you what to do to create a perfect picture. We have so many amazing pictures now to remember our wedding day and it is all because of Melanie! She is beyond talented and will just add to the fun of your wedding day! You won’t regret for a second working with her! She’s simply the best.

at I wanted documenting the most important day of my life with her camera. If you are looking for someone with a more photojournalistic/candid eye, she is exactly what you need. And beside her obvious talent behind the camera, she is such a sweetheart who was wonderful to work with. I was always able to easily get ahold of her with questions/concerns. In the midst of being nervous on our wedding day, her and her second shooter Lexi were such a joy to have around and made the day so easy. My spouse is not the type that likes being in front of the camera, and even he couldn't stop raving about how wonderful Melanie and Lexi were. I would absolutely recommend her! I'm so unbelievably excited to see our pictures :)

photos she needs but also listened to us and family to get those photos as well.

s ability to make you feel like you’ve known her forever ! Which is a total plus when you’re a stressed out bride! When it was closer to time for our engagement shoot she made sure to ask what I was looking for and truthfully provided everything we wanted and more! We didn’t know what spot to choose and she gave us great ideas. When we working with her she made it super easy! She made us laugh and made us feel very comfortable. Leading up to the big day - she asked many questions again to ensure she would give us everything we wanted. She brought along a second photographer who was just as amazing and nice. Melanie made sure to capture every beautiful moment throughout the night. I never felt the pressure to pose and was able to just soak the day in — even during pictures! Melanie provided us with way more pictures than we were expecting and came up with amazing and different shots throughout the whole night. I love all of our pictures and now I can cherish the day forever. For anyone looking for a photographer- you WILL NOT regret it if you go with Melanie-she is seriously the best person and photographer ever!!!

e of her work, my fiancé and I took a shot and trusted Melanie to be creative and do what she felt was best. I am SO GLAD we did. She nailed our personalities down to the T and it’s clear in the pictures. She is so easy going, so professional, and knows what what she’s doing. She’s got an amazing eye for a great shot. I would go in blind to any photo shot with her because I know the end result would be nothing short of phenomenal. No matter what type of photo shoot you’re looking for, Melanie is your girl!

ng day, Melanie and her partner did such a great job. After our engagement shoot, we were confident that the pictures from our big day were going to be perfect. And they were! Thanks for everything Melanie!!

wanted: fun, creative, and a little silly sometimes. We didn't want anything stilted and overly posed, we wanted photos that accurately captured the joy and celebration of the day. I have no doubt in my mind (from the couple of photos I have been able to sneak peek) that she accomplished exactly that!

ures we have received from her so far. Would definitely recommend!

how Melanie works. When it came time to start taking wedding pictures, we were all comfortable and ready to move through the day's photos. The pictures didn't look like your traditional wedding shots that feel cliche and predictable, a common comment about our wedding pictures is that they look creative and unique. Of course we took some of the standard pictures, but Melanie had tons of ideas for ways to make the pictures a little different and not so static. Our pictures truly capture mine and my husband's personalities. Nothing looks forced or faked in the pictures. Melanie showed up on time and got right to work, taking pictures of everyone getting ready, pictures of my dress, and pictures of my jewelry. She was even great about any pictures I wanted to have taken during the reception. I highly recommend Melanie if you want pictures that aren't going to feel or look like every other wedding's pictures, and if you want a personalized feel for your pictures.

were going for and I am beyond happy with our photos. I will definitely be using her again and would recommend to anyone looking for a photographer.

redible portfolio. We met with her for our engagement pictures after hiring her for our wedding and she completely surpassed all our expectations! She made us feel comfortable and guided us gently while still letting us be ourselves. We immediately felt so grateful she would be there on our wedding day and had complete faith in her to capture our day perfectly, which she did! We got our wedding photos back in less than a month and they were incredible. She captured everything we wanted for our day and we could not be more happy with how they turned out. We are lucky to have gotten the chance to work with Melanie and recommend her to anyone who needs a talented, fun, passionate, and creative photographer!

gagement, wedding or even holiday photos you must use Melanie! A pleasure to work with, and a truly gifted photographer! It will be the best decision you made.

nd hard for the perfect photographer that would capture my style and Melanie did not disappoint! She has a way of putting you at ease on such a crazy day and she worked sooo hard to get all of the perfect shots! She showed up on time and went straight to work. She worked so well with my videographer as well! She truly does invest herself into your day and it shows in her work. I will be recommending Melanie to EVERYONE!! Don't even question it - HIRE HER!!!!!

uantity of the photos we received. She made sure to capture all the small details that were important to me. Her style is unique and she puts an artistic flare to traditional wedding photos. I highly recommend Melanie and would book her again in a heartbeat!

irst. But thanks to Melanie’s encouragement, we were soon put at ease. By the end, my fiancé was saying how he felt like a model! The photos turned out great! I used them for Christmas cards and they will be used throughout my wedding. We can’t wait to see how the wedding photos turn out! Melanie is such an easy person to get a hold of, as well. She is also very flexible. I’ve changed the length of time we’ll need her at our wedding at least twice and each time she adjusts things for me with no pushback or questions asked. I’m very thankful for her flexibility and positivity! I highly recommend her photography!

I will continue to, she went above and beyond.

g our engagement pictures turned out we had her take our family Christmas card pictures as well!! Over all she's so easy to work with and amazing to work with! Can't wait for her to shoot our wedding!

ned out amazing, and I will definitely be using Melanie in the future!!
