Our Wedding was in May, and the best thing about our wedding was our Photography. He went above and beyond our expectations. We received all of photo's about 6 weeks after the wedding. This was the best price for our budget, and we received an amazing photographer. I recommend Melo for your wedding photography needs

Melo Photo + Video truly impressed us! We had a multicultural wedding with back-to-back ceremonies, and their team handled everything seamlessly. They took time before the wedding ...
to learn about both traditions and made sure every important detail was included in the footage. The drone shots were absolutely stunning, and the edits were cinematic and emotional. We’re so happy we chose Melo to preserve our memories—we’ll cherish the videos forever!

We used Melo fairly late in the process after our original photographer had to leave the country suddenly. The experience was easy, fast, and relatively inexpensive considering the...
circumstances. The photographer we were booked with was named Charlie. He was professional and vibed very well with us.
Considering we had very little time to meet with him beforehand, he did an amazing job. We were able to get the shots we wanted and much more. He was like a phantom—capturing candid moments one second, then giving us clear direction and guiding staged shots the next—making the whole process fun and seamless.
He also did a great job herding family for group photos, which is no small task.
10/10, I would recommend both this service and Charlie.

When our first choice photographer unexpectedly self-deported after shooting our announcement photos in June, we were left scrambling to find a photographer that we felt would be a...
ble to capture "us" the same way.
In short order, Melo set us up with Charlie, an accomplished local photographer with a beautiful portfolio that meshed well with the energy we wanted to bring to our ceremony and reception.
The pricing structure was simple, forthright, and fair. If I'd had more time to plan I would have added videography to our package in a heartbeat because the final results from our photographer were absolutely stunning.
I would definitely use Melo again to find additional local talent for new events. Truly a wonderful experience all around.

Afterward, they were in regular communication with us about our videos. While it took a little longer than we would have liked to get the videos back, we LOVED the way they came out. And we had some minor editing requests, which they readily implemented. Would definitely recommend working with their team.

easy and affordable with many options available. Our videographer did an absolute amazing job on the wedding day it’s like he wasn’t even their, he made it seem so effortless and made it extremely easy. It felt like if he was one of our friends. The shots that they got are stunning and literally take our breath away each and every time we watch it. We went with a short film and literally was everything we would ever and imagine and more. They say that the day will be over before you know it and it is so true. Bydesign film made it so we can relive that day over and over again! I’m telling you they are a must! It literally looks like you are watching a movie . I would say if you are on the fence just do it! I promise you won’t regret it and they are the perfect videographer to make you wedding video dreams come true like they did ours! Would recommend over and over again!

They were so helpful when I kept changing my mind about my "must-have" shots. Even after the wedding, when I filled out my questionnaire about what to include/not to include- I changed my mind after 48 hours and they were totally fine with me re-doing the questionnaire. The day of was so smooth and Edison was so professional and fun to work with! Bonus- he had worked our venue before so we knew he had a eye for what to capture.
Very very worth the price!!

inful to watch, or they were movie material but entirely out of our budget. When I stumbled upon byDesign Films, I knew I had found our wedding videographer right away. Their films are authentic, beautiful, high quality, and diverse. There are many different packages to choose from to work with your budget and everyone I spoke with from day one of inquiring was kind, approachable and very easy to communicate with. I was a very particular bride, and the videographers and editors delivered actually what I wanted, down the the filter of the highlight film. It is an incredible feeling to relive the best parts of your wedding day over and over again, and thanks to byDesign Films we are able to do just that! We have watched our film many times already, and we only received it about a month ago. Within the first 10 seconds of the clip, I am already tearing up. I highly recommend choosing byDesign Films for our wedding. You will not regret your decision!

The people at byDesign Films really knew how to tell the story of our special weekend and did an unbelievable job of capturing our Indian Wedding. The videographers byDesign hired ...
were very warm and friendly, and made us feel comfortable that they were going to capture our special weekend exactly how we wanted it. Our wedding party mentioned over and over again how impressive the production value of our videography was. The videographers knew exactly how they wanted to shoot our event, and listened to all of our ideas and incorporated what was important us.
Our byDesign coordinator, Vanessa Walden, was incredible in making sure that our video turned out exactly how we wanted it. We were stunned by how cinematic and beautiful our highlight film and full-length video were. During the entire process, she kept us in the loop, gave us a vast library of songs to choose from for our films, and most importantly, implemented any changes that we wanted to our films before we shared them with friends and family.
Could not have been happier with our decision to have byDesign shoot our wedding!

Though we never met in person until the day of the wedding, communication was so simple, easy, and quick. When we finally did meet our videographers the day of the wedding, they were very friendly and again easy to talk to and work with. They worked real well with our photographer which was so important because I know how it can be difficult when the two get in each other’s way. The videos were delivered in a timely manner and were better than we could have hoped for. Though behind the scenes it seemed like a chaotic day, the videos made it seem like everything was effortless and smooth. They captured all of the right moments and we look forward to looking back on this day years from now.

Finding a high quality videographer for our wedding was a top priority and we have absolutely 0 regrets choosing to work with ByDesign Films.
From the time we reached out to BDF ...
more than a year ago at this point, to months after the wedding when the films were complete, everyone on the team was kind, responsive, helpful and professional. We cannot thank the team and especially Sherri for making this experience such an enjoyable one.
I know our asks were extensive and our expectiations were high, but the team was BEYOND patient with us.
Our hopes and expectations were fearfully high - I worried that no one would meet them. However, the film the ByDesign Films created not only meets but exceeded our expectations. I cannot put into words how thankful we are that we chose y'all to work with. The videos bring back so many amazing memories and bring tears to my eyes each time I watch them. They are absolutely beautiful. The music, the footage, the editing... its all perfect. I do not understand how the team was able to create a film that so accurately portrayed our love and our wedding day.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating such a beautiful keepsake for my husband and me. We will forever be grateful for finding you.
