Melissa is amazing! She did a wonderful job as my wedding photographer. As soon as I met Melissa I felt comfortable and knew I was in good hands. She was flexible when our wedding had to be rescheduled due to Covid and she was willing to travel...

Melissa was exactly the photographer I was looking for. I never met her before but heard great things so I thought why not. I met her a month before my wedding for my bridal portraits and she made me feel so comfortable and we had the best time...

laughing while she was taking pictures. I highly recommend her if you are looking for someone that doesn't just take pictures but is also beautiful inside and out and will make your day so special. I didn't just meet a photographer that day I met a great friend and will send anyone I know her way for pictures. Thanks again Melissa for capturing our special day. Larry and I both love you!!!

Choosing our wedding photographer was a big decision for us. We probably looked at 100 different photographers before we chose to go with Melissa. Her photography really stood out from the rest. Her style aligned with what we were in search for...

. We officially met Melissa face to face at our engagement shoot and instantly developed a real chemistry. After one session with her we were amazed at the results. We feel that she was able to really capture our love and happiness towards one another. She was very fun but also very professional. The bridal portraits were absolutely stunning. We were so happy to have the option to get them done as well. On the day of the wedding, she was able to wrangle the wild groomsmen with ease and get some wonderful shots. She made it a point to get the gift exchanges, reactions, and one on one moments with each other. They say direct sunlight is some of the most difficult lighting to shoot in, that was no problem for Melissa. She “Understood the Assignment”. Some of our favorite things about Melissa, was her organization, her flexibility with the schedule, and that she followed the shot list that we provided. She was really able to capture our favorite moments. We will be continuing to work with Melissa for our non wedding related photo ops and we are looking forward to using her again in the future!

My friends know me to be a very bubbly, outgoing, life of the party kind of girl who cares about keeping her family and friends close.That part of my personality comes out in my photography style: bright & bold. I love playing around with color and natural light and beautiful landscapes. I want my couples to feel comfortable when in front of the camera, and truly get a thrill when I capture the most beautiful candid moments, whether it be happy tears or loving laughter. I am a sucker for those moments full of meaning, it's all about the little things!
