Melissa Lynn Images

edule to meet our needs. During our session, Melissa was fun to work with, and we quickly developed an easy rapport with her that made us (who were a little worried about feeling awkward in front of a camera) feel at ease and able to have fun. Melissa captured moments of us being sweet, funny, and serious, and her pictures are able to capture all of these aspects of our relationship. The quality of Melissa’s photos stands out - she has an eye for detail while also capturing bold, vibrant colors in her backgrounds. We were thrilled to have so many favorite pictures that we cannot stop looking at, and we already have plans for which ones to print, ones to incorporate into our save-the-dates, and more. We are so happy and grateful for Melissa’s work, and we cannot recommend her enough. We also cannot wait for her to capture our Fall 2024 wedding!

ken 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!

images she got were just lovely and we're so happy with them. Thank you so much! 10/10 recommend!

ve and worked with us prior to plan our wedding day detail by detail.

ied 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!

d 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.

d had great suggestions for poses and locations. I highly recommend hiring Melissa!

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.

y 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!

shots and helped to find gorgeous, scenic spots for our first look.

o 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!

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!

ssa 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.

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!

y 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. :)

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!

pful and understanding when we had to postpone our wedding. You can't go wrong having Melissa there on your big day, we highly recommend!!!

rtainly 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!

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.

ckly. I would highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking to have wedding or professional pictures done!

highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional and high quality photographer!

amera. 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!

wed 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!!

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.

ncerned 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!

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.

ress, 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!

n, 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!

sertive 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!

nt 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.

d 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!

tographing their day.

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.

l 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!

nd captured our day perfectly. We couldn’t recommend Melissa enough! Thank you.

esponded 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!

nkful 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!

nything. 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!!

le 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.

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!

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.
