Melissa Lynn Images

I am so happy we hired Melissa to be our photographer! She did a great job capturing the essence of our day and the photos turned out stunning. Highly recommend!

Melissa photographed our September 2023 wedding and was a dream to work with. She was professional, easy to communicate with, and incredibly kind. I do not like getting my photo taken and she made me and my friends/family feel so comfortable. She made sure to get all of the photos we requested and her photos are absolutely stunning. We can't wait to frame some of the photos and create a wedding album! Highly recommend hiring her for your wedding!

Melissa was communicative, professional, and also extremely kind & friendly, chill and easy to work with. We had a very short session but she was nothing short of great. And, the images she got were just lovely and we're so happy with them. Thank you so much! 10/10 recommend!

Melissa was wonderful to work with. Not only were the photos absolutely beautiful, she was prepared with day of essentials such as bobby pins and bandaids! She was very communicative and worked with us prior to plan our wedding day detail by detail.

If you want amazing photos from an amazing person look no further. We booked Melissa for both our engagement session and our wedding day and she went above and beyond. We were married in a polar vortex and with out fail she was there outside with us getting the mountain pictures that were so important to us. She's a great presence and a great talent. All of our wedding party loved her and the pictures she got of us. She was a huge help through out the entire day, even fixing wardrobe malfunctions and lending advice when we needed some. Can't give enough praise. Thank you Melissa!

Melissa is great! She was professional, approachable, and creates beautiful photos! Although she had an emergency on the day of our wedding, I always felt we were well cared for and never worried she would leave us hanging. She immediately had two other photographers lined up to fill in on our big day- who were amazing, fun, and so great to work with too.

Melissa is a talented and experienced photographer. She did both my engagement and wedding photography and I couldn't be happier with the final shots. Melissa was knowledgeable and had great suggestions for poses and locations. I highly recommend hiring Melissa!

My husband and I used Melissa as our photographer for our July wedding at the Inn at Grace Farm. We were so happy with the photographs we received! Melissa was great to work with. She was communicative and accommodating when coming up with a package that worked well for us. Day of she got so many great shots. She was flexible and efficient taking portraits. We got married on a sunny day in the middle of a heat wave but she made it work and also made sure we still had plenty of time to socialize with friends and family. I was worried about being awkward in front of the camera but she made me feel at ease and gave great prompts to make everything look and feel so natural. We’re so happy with the photographs she took and we’ve received many compliments from friends and family on how beautiful our photos turned out.

Melissa is truly amazing at what she does. From the moment we first contacted her, she was responsive, organized, and enjoyable to work with. On our wedding day, Melissa was quietly in a million places at once, catching moments occurring in all corners of our large outdoor space, and even pulling us aside for quick couples shots in our favorite places around the venue. Melissa's wedding experience was really clear. Not only did she manage to get all of these gorgeous shots, but she even pinned some boutonnieres and fixed my dress that was dragging around in the dirt, even though that was totally outside the scope of her responsibility. Our photos really capture the emotions, colors, and atmosphere of the day, and we couldn't be happier with them. We cannot recommend Melissa highly enough!

From the initial phone call to the day of the wedding, Melissa was eager, positive, helpful, and accommodating. She helped the day to flow smoothly. She captured a wide variety of shots and helped to find gorgeous, scenic spots for our first look.

We loved working with Melissa from the moment we hired her. She was so easy to talk to and truly listened to our vision of how we wanted our photos to look. The day of, she was so fun and positive the entire day and even did things outside her job description like continue to safety pin my bustle when it kept falling down. She made sure to capture the perfect shots with professionalism and looked like she was having so much fun doing it. We were so thrilled with how our photos turned out and will love them forever!

Melissa was absolutely outstanding to work with! She is so kind, calm and professional! We have just received our previews and the shots she got are incredible! She seriously knows how to capture the scenic mountains and a sunset! Thank you Melissa for capturing the most important parts of our day that we will cherish forever!

Melissa was wonderful to work with and extremely professional. She helped keep the ball moving and made it all a fun experience...we even got in include our dog in our photos. Melissa helped create a timeline for the day and texted me in the morning to confirm what time she should arrive and our expectations for her. It of course rained on our wedding day. Melissa came prepared with clear umbrellas and appropriate gear for herself and encouraged us to go outside and take the pictures we wanted and we are so glad we did. My husband and I are not people that enjoy getting our photos taking or having to pose. We spoke with Melissa about this concern and she helped keep us comfortable and made everything look natural. If you're looking for a fun and energetic photographer, I highly suggest Melissa.

Melissa and Josh photographed our wedding and they were absolutely amazing!! They were fun to be with, easy to work with, and sooo great at what they do! 10/10 would recommend!!

Where do I even begin? We booked Melissa back in 2019, and our first shoot with her was our engagement shoot. Melissa was so great about getting my husband and I to relax in front of the camera, and we loved how the pictures turned out. Our wedding was originally scheduled for 2020, but due to Covid, we made the decision to postpone until 2021. Melissa was quick to get our contract revised and rebooked for our new wedding date. We also decided to elope on our original wedding date, so we booked Melissa’s Mini-Wedding package. On our elopement day, Melissa drove nearly two hours (four hours round-trip) to spend just over an hour with us. She captured every single photo that we wanted, AND she stayed longer than her contracted time to make sure we were taken care of. Again, we love how the pictures came out. This past November, we finally got to have our big wedding and reception. Melissa showed up early and kept us on schedule all day long. She photographed all of the details and getting ready shots in the morning, and she stayed until 11:00pm to photograph our sparkler send off. She went above and beyond for us every single chance she could, and we are so thrilled with the pictures we have of our engagement, elopement and wedding! We are forever grateful for her!

Melissa was absolutely phenomenal as our wedding photographer. We felt amazingly comfortable with her from our very first phone call, and as we browsed through her portfolio we only got more excited. She was flexible enough to work around our schedule for engagement photos as we were only in town for Thanksgiving, and found an incredible location for our shoot! She was fun and kept the whole experience relaxed and moving. Melissa communicated well throughout the planning process, was patient with us as we listed out so many photos we wanted to get, and was so helpful as we thought through the details. Day of the wedding, she kept us on track with the timeline, and caught so many precious moments throughout the day. Melissa captured all of the emotions of our wedding day, and clearly got to know us well enough to pull together some really special detail shots with our rings at the end of the night. She and her second shooter, Hillary, were flexible, hardworking, and so kind and helpful throughout the whole day. We couldn't have asked for a better photography team, and we cannot stop looking at our photos. My husband and I both highly highly recommend you stop looking right now and hire Melissa. :)

Melissa was an absolute dream to work with. We used her for our engagement photos so we could get a chance to meet her and work with her and also used her for our wedding. Since we live outside of VT she helped us find the perfect location for engagement photos and even put up with our two crazy dogs so they could be in our photos. Not only did she put up with them, she actually got them to look at her and she got some really good photos of them! Leading up to our wedding she helped us with our timeline and helped guide us to figure out what shots we would want on our wedding day. She was super helpful and communicative. On our actual wedding day she was really fun to work with. Her second shooter was also super fun. Melissa made sure we got all the photos we wanted, helped keep everything moving, and even fixed my bustle after we couldn't figure it out! We couldn't be happier with how our photos came out. She really captured the joy and happiness that we felt and that our friends and family felt. We will cherish the photos she captured forever. We can't recommend Melissa enough!

Melissa was absolutely wonderful to work with! She captured our wedding beautifully and I love all of our photos. Melissa took our engagement photos which we loved and was so helpful and understanding when we had to postpone our wedding. You can't go wrong having Melissa there on your big day, we highly recommend!!!

I am so so happy to have had Melissa photograph my wedding this August at Lake Willoughby, VT. When we first connected with Melissa, I knew she would be the perfect fit, and she certainly proved me right! Throughout the planning process, Melissa was so helpful, giving her insights into timing and what would be the best to get the photos we wanted from the day. She asked great questions about our ideas and plans, and framed her thoughts and advice around that. It really made planning so much less stressful to know I could rely on her expertise and the care she put into ensuring everything was set up before our wedding day. On the day of the wedding, Melissa was again amazing. I'm not always comfortable in front of a camera, but Melissa really put me at ease and gave good direction to get some beautiful shots. She was also able to go with the flow, including when it rained on us! The day was honestly such a blur, but Melissa really made sure that we got all the pictures we had wanted even through those challenging circumstances. She also went above and beyond and fixed my dress for me when my bustle broke during the reception! She was honestly a lifesaver. Now that we have gotten our photographs back and I'm able to see how many beautiful moments Melissa captured, I'm so grateful. She was able to capture not only the beauty of the day, but also the emotion behind it. There are so many pictures that honestly make me (happy) cry when I look at them. I love how she was able to capture the relationship between my husband and I, and us and our friends and family. There is so much joy and love in every picture. One of the other things that was very important to me was the location we got married, which is near and dear to my heart. Melissa did such a good job of capturing that in the photos as well. I feel as though I am back there when I look at them. I truly could not be happier with the photos Melissa delivered. My husband teases me for how often he catches me looking at them! I would recommend Melissa a thousand times over for anyone who is looking for a photographer. You will be so lucky if you book her for your wedding (or any other photography needs). Thank you so much, Melissa!

Melissa was a fantastic person to work with. She photographed our save the date pictures, our rehearsal dinner, and our wedding. She worked really well with our whole vendor team. She was a consummate professional and a personal joy to be around and the pictures came out great! We were very pleased with the entire experience.

Melissa was wonderful to work with. She took time to get to know us, and took amazing pictures! She was on time, super reasonably priced and provided us with the final pictures quickly. I would highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking to have wedding or professional pictures done!

Melissa is such a down-to-earth individual, which is what you need on a chaotic day like your wedding! She gets you in a light-hearted spirit, resulting in some great shots. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional and high quality photographer!

Melissa is the best photographer around! She shot our wedding this fall and we love all of our pictures! She is helpful, professional and knows exactly what she's doing with her camera. Her kind presence was a very welcomed source of calm in our busy wedding day. If you're looking for an experienced professional who will take beautiful pictures while helping you through your wedding day with grace and ease, she is the way to go!

Melissa’s photos are breathtaking and she is a dream to work with! My husband and I got married on 10.10.2020 and Melissa was our photographer. We had a small family ceremony followed by a very short reception (cake cutting and a champagne toast!). Melissa was extremely professional and great to work with; she communicated with me every step of the way and we came up with a great plan for the kinds of photos my husband and I wanted. She did an amazing job getting all of our family portraits done and she even stayed extra to make sure we got more shots of me and my husband. She's so amazing that we are blessed to be working with her again next year for our vow renewal ceremony and our big reception!!

We are so thrilled with our wedding photos, and we absolutely made the right choice working with Melissa! During these unprecedented pandemic times, she was extremely accommodating and responsive when our plans changed several times. She captured out backyard wedding beautifully and put all of our guests at ease when taking photos. She was creative, professional and a pleasure to work with. We have a lovely collection of portraits, candids, detail photos, etc. We highly recommend Melissa.

Melissa was an absolute pleasure to work with for photographing my surprise proposal. Melissa provided suggestions of local spots and worked with me the day before when we were concerned about a rainy day during the time I had planned to propose. The day of, Melissa showed up an hour early to ensure that she would not miss the event. During the proposal and after, Melissa was very well prepared and was able to capture every emotion of my now fiancee during the proposal. I cannot recommend Melissa more highly. She is professional, very easy to deal with and also turned around our photos extremely quickly. Thank you so much for making our day so special!

Choosing a wedding photographer is a daunting task. As a couple, you are placing your absolute trust in a complete stranger to capture one of the most important days of your lives. There is no rehearsal, no do-overs, and really very little opportunity for you to positively know that the person you are contracting is going to understand the complexities of your day. Let us both say that if you are in search of a photographer that wants to truly put you first, then Melissa Lynn Images should be your only choice. Our story starts somewhere in September 2019 when we began the task of contacting photographers for our late March 2020 wedding. We had also just made an offer on a home and were anticipating an early October closing. At that time, the closing became the priority and choosing a photographer took a back seat. We asked those who we reached out to for some time to handle things with our home. Once everything was settled, we would contact them to discuss the details for our late March ceremony. While it was not our intention to put a halt on our conversations with photographers, we learned that those who did not respect our wishes then, would not prioritize us on our day. Melissa was not only respectful of our request, but she understood our needs at that time. She indicated that she also had a similar situation arise when purchasing her home and was genuinely excited for us to have a new place to begin our married life. This was exactly the type of person we knew would do everything they could to ensure that we were the priority on our wedding day. Melissa took the time to remain in contact with us throughout the entire process. She scheduled calls with us to better understand our dynamic at times that were convenient for us. She was thoughtful and considerate of our needs and provided thorough answers to all of our questions. Melissa sent documents as she said she would and followed through as a true professional while exhibiting a sense of candor and pleasantry at all times. Our ceremony was small and only included the two of us, six guests, and four dogs. Needless to say, there was a lot of personality to capture. While we did not require Melissa’s services for the entire day, we were able to work with her on a window of time that made sense for everyone involved. Her ability to manage the challenges of the four dogs and the eight of us while documenting our day in a way that reflected who we are in the time she did is remarkable. Not only did she get all the “important” moments, she was able to seamlessly add photos to our album that reflected her style and skills as a professional. Additionally, we were able to send announcements out to friends and family as Melissa provided a collection of shots that she felt would suit our needs almost immediately. Melissa’s photographs are exceptional and will be admired by us for the rest of our lives. We are excited to share her work with friends and family and recommend her services to anyone that is considering a photographer in the area she covers. Melissa is kind, considerate, easy to work with, understanding, and quick witted. She made the process simple, captured any and everything that we could ask for, listened to our needs, and most importantly made the day about us. Do not hesitate to work with Melissa Lynn Images, she provides a service and value that is beyond measure.

Melissa took the most gorgeous photos I have ever seen in my life. I do not count myself as a photogenic person, and I was nervous that even with all of the makeup, hair, wedding dress, and glow from happiness that I would have that I still wouldn’t love looking at pictures of myself at our wedding. I was completely floored when Melissa sent us our wedding album and she totally exceeded my expectations of capturing the day. I don’t even have social media, but I’ve considered getting an account now just to share these beautiful photos with the world! With all of the planning, thought, time, and money that go into your wedding day, in the end what you’re (hopefully) left with is beautiful memories and photos to help you remember that day. Other than the venue, I would say that the photographer was the most important selection we made because that’s how we would be reminded of this wonderful time in our lives. Wedding photos are something that you share with family, friends, future children, and anyone who asks to see them! I had heard so many horror stories from people about how their photos didn’t come out well and now they had nothing to show anyone. Not only is Melissa a kind and sweet person, but also, she is an artist with her camera and gave us the best gift that anyone could have given us for the wedding. She listened to every direction that I had given her before the wedding, and she also dealt with all of the last-minute craziness that came with the day (families deciding they want last minute group photos, timings being shifted around, me breaking my shoes!). Her and our DJ even were so kind and bustled my dress for me when those who were originally supposed to do that were nowhere to be found. She brings with her a calming energy that is essential to have on a day where everyone else is buzzing around and nerves are high. She blended in completely and never once did I feel like she was in our face or anyone else’s. My mother was a photography teacher for 10 years, and she was so stunned by Melissa’s beautiful work and how every picture came out. I truly love every single one of the pictures that we got back, and she enhanced the natural beauty of everything without making anything look retouched or fake. I could never thank Melissa enough for giving us this wonderful gift of amazing wedding photos!

Melissa is simply the best!! She was such a pleasure to work with leading up to our wedding this September. On the day of our wedding, Melissa and her second photographer, Kathleen, went above and beyond! You don’t realize how much time you spend with your photographers on your wedding day, but we could not have had two better people to guide us through each part of our day than Melissa and Kathleen. They were organized, caring, and a ton of fun. We’ve only gotten a sneak peek but we are so in love with our photos! She captured every detail perfectly. Choosing Melissa as our photographer was one the best decisions we made when planning our wedding!

Melissa is amazing! I can’t speak to her photos yet (our wedding was only two days ago), but I can speak to how great she was to work with! She was super calm, helpful, but also assertive and got stuff done! Her love of photography was very apparent - she had no problem taking photos outside in the freezing cold to get the best light! My bridesmaids loved working with her and I am so excited to see our photos! Editing to add that our photos came out beautifully - we are so pleased to have had Melissa shoot our wedding!

Melissa was just absolutely wonderful! We first met her for an engagement shoot and it was like meeting an old friend. We were comfortable with her immediately. She did an engagement session for us and did our wedding photos and we couldn’t have been happier with all of them. Melissa is not only an amazing photographer and artist but she is a great person as well and incredibly easy to work with.

We had so much fun working with Melissa and her second shooter Rob on our wedding day! Not only is the quality of their work top notch, they also made us feel completely at ease and had so many great ideas. I knew we had made the right decision to book Melissa the first time we spoke on the phone. She suggested that if we were planning to do a first look, she recommended doing it two hours before the start of the ceremony. This gave us the opportunity to attend cocktail hour and mingle with our guests before the reception. By the time dinner was served, we had already had the chance to talk to all of our guests which allowed us to spend the whole evening partying on the dance floor! We just got all of our pictures back this past weekend and have been looking at them over and over ever since. We are completely obsessed with them - Melissa captured our wedding day so beautifully! We couldn’t be happier that we chose Melissa to capture our big day!

Melissa photographed two weddings I’ve attended. The most recent being my granddaughter’s wedding. The photo outcome of both wedding’s were gorgeous. Thank you!

The photos my grandson received from his wedding were beautiful. The photos are definitely something we will cherish for a lifetime. Thank you Melissa for doing such a nice job photographing their day.

I was a groomsman in my sister’s wedding. I was just able to go through all of the pictures with her and they show her day perfectly. The pictures are so beautiful. I love that we now have family photos that we never had before. Thank you for being the photographer for my sister and my (now) brother-in-law. Our family appreciates you.

Melissa photographed my daughter’s wedding. She captured so many beautiful moments most of which we didn’t even realize she was photographing😊. The product our family received will be memories we can now look back on forever. Photos that we may have never gotten a chance to take otherwise. I am thankful my daughter chose Melissa to be her photographer to capture her beautiful day. Thank you!

Melissa photographed my wife and I’s wedding in July. She was so personable and truly felt like she was part of the family. The pictures we received were nothing short of amazing and captured our day perfectly. We couldn’t recommend Melissa enough! Thank you.

Melissa photographed my mother’s wedding four years ago. She did such an excellent job that it was a no brainer that my husband and I wanted her for our wedding! Melissa promptly responded to our messages and she did a beautiful job with our engagement photos! On our wedding day, Melissa arrived on time and ready to shoot. Melissa brought a 2nd shooter who was equally as amazing! We have seen a sneak peek and are already pleased with what we see. We cannot wait to see the final product! My husband and I have already determined that Melissa will be our photographer for any future photo needs☺️ Thank you so much!

Melissa was absolutely incredible. She was fun, easy to work with, and professional. Her work is stunning and she was a marvelous addition to our wedding team. Hire her!

Melissa is simply the best! She photographed our engagement photos and our wedding. I love all of our photos! She is so nice, easy to work with, and very professional. I was so thankful she helped me fix my dress when a button on my bustle fell off! She went above and beyond and I definitely recommend her to everyone!

Melissa and her assistant Moriah did such a great job at our wedding! Melissa was so organized ahead of time with our meetings and throughout the event I never had to worry about anything. It was so amazing! Both the photographers were so nice, friendly, and easy to work with and never got in the way, I barely noticed they were there during wedding itself. I have already recommended her to our close friends and hopefully they will be able to use her because our pictures came out perfect. I would definitely recommend two photographers in general if possible as it allowed them to get multiple angles and to be two places at once (like getting ready photos). Would definitely recommend Melissa for your wedding!!

First, as a person Melissa is awesome. She's friendly, approachable, and easy going. As a photographer she blended well into the guests and during the photo sessions she was flexible but managed to get all the shots we wanted. Her value is outstanding, doing a lot more than we expected for the money. When she needed to, she has a commanding presence (especially with the larger group) but did so in a friendly way. She was creative in the poses and framing of some of our favorite pictures. The contracting and payment process was a breeze! All done electronically. You truly can't go wrong with this photographer.

I first met Melissa at a bridal show and loved the rose gold photo album she had on display as it matched the rose gold on the underside of my engagement ring! Down the road a bit, we met up at a cafe to discuss some things. I felt like I was at a cafe with a long time friend! She was so easy going and more! We looked through her sample albums and she explained the work behind some of the beautiful photos. I was so impressed! I booked her for our wedding and couldn’t wait! Since then, two more of my friends booked her after I told them about my experiences. She called me closer to the wedding to go over details and again it was like talking to a long time friend! We got married Saturday and she was phenomenal to work with! We even were ahead of schedule with photos so we had time to do some really funny sessions with our bridal party!!! I saw my sneak peeks and cried because they were so beautiful ❤️ I can’t thank Melissa enough!

I first met Melissa when she was taking photos of my good friend's wedding. I was impressed with Melissa's professionalism, and her ability to make sure all the bride's needs were taken care of. When I saw my friends pictures, I KNEW Melissa had to be our photographer. I had seen first hand how amazing she was to work with, and knowing her pictures were incredible as well made it an easy choice. Working with Melissa was a great experience. She truly cared about capturing our big day, and worked with us to not only get great photos, but did so in a way that maximized our time on the dance floor (which was very important to me and my husband). We finally selected the photos for our album, which was tricky because the photos were all amazing. I would highly recommend Melissa for brides who are looking for a talented, easy going, and professional photographer, who will work with you to ensure your day is exactly what you want it to be.

Melissa is the best!! I had seen her work online then met up with her at a bridal expo to meet her. She was professional, andso easy going. I loved all the products she offered. On the day of our wedding she made me feel so relaxed and not stressed about getting all the right pictures. The guests loved her so much that some even book led her for their wedding.
