Mel was fantastic to work with, she kept our formal photos short but sweet like we asked and got a ton of excellent shots. The pictures were excellent quality and she did all this while blending in to the celebration catching candid photos and important moments.
I'm not sure there are enough words to express how wonderful Mel is as a person and a photographer. We hired the turquoise lens for engagement, family rehearsal dinner photos, and our wedding. She's professional, easy to work with, and her work is phenomenal. Neither my husband or I are comfortable in front of a camera, but Mel made it easy to relax, have fun and was able to capture genuine emotions from both of us. Not only does she take awesome pictures she easily wrangles the errant family member for formal group shots and kept the wilder groomsman on the tight timeline for photos. She easily captured all the big moments from our wedding and smaller more intimate moments without being obtrusive, my husband and I had no idea she was taking photos of us half the time. We can not recommend Mel enough to help you capture your big day. We wouldn't have wanted anyone else.
Melissa was wonderful, and so helpful! She was also prompt with her responses and laid things out so well! I would refer her to anyone!
Miss Mel is truly amazing at what she does! Her professionalism and lighthearted attitude made working with her a breeze. Coming from someone who hates getting her picture taken I could work with her for hours with how easy she makes the process. Her thorough communication made sure we got every picture we wanted and her experience ensured it was all executed in a timely manor. Our bridal party loved her creative ideas and ability to easily explain poses. I was a little hesitant not hiring a videographer, but there was no need as Mel truly did captured every moment of our wedding day. A picture is worth a thousand words but Mel’s work completely speaks for itself! Couldn’t be happier with the results!
We chose Melissa to capture our wedding day and will never regret our choice! She is absolutely amazing and so easy to work with. I am so thankful we will forever have these beautiful photos to look back on and remember our special day spent with the ones we love most!
Great experience!
Melissa is an extremely talented photographer! On top of that, she will help ensure your wedding day runs smoothly. She helped make our day stress free, and the photo process so much fun. She truly goes above and beyond!
Highly recommend hiring Mel as your photographer. If you want memories to last a lifetime, the photographer is not someone who you want to skimp out on. She is honest, trustworthy, and makes taking pictures so easy for everyone. The whole day of pictures went so smooth and was stress free.
We LOVED having Mel as our wedding photographer. She went above and beyond to take high quality photos and delivered our galleries super quick. In my opinion, the photos are the most important part of a wedding and I was so happy we chose to use The Turquoise Lens.
Melissa did a great job photographing my wedding and engagement pictures! I have gotten so many compliments from guests, friends, etc on how beautiful and professional the pictures are. Melissa was super helpful with the wedding planning process along with wedding day. She gave helpful insight on questions I had and advised other areas I could change to help wedding day go smoothly. She helped create the best day ever and I’m so thankful I have her beautiful pictures to look back on to reminisce the day. I don’t have a bad thing to say about her! 10/10 recommend!
The Turquoise Lens photography service was top notch! Made our wedding day a breeze! The pictures are beautiful and something we will treasure forever!
She was amazing! She made the whole process so much fun and easy for us and our wedding party! We couldn’t have been happier with how our engagement and wedding photos turned out and we’ll definitely be going back to her in the future!!
Mel was so great & so easy to work with! Our pictures turned out so great!
Mel has a fun loving personality that makes me feel at ease and helps my husband feel comfortable being himself in front of her camera, even though he HATES pictures. Even though Mel was our photographer she didn't hesitate to jump in and help along the way, and has amazing resources for making sure you feel organized and prepared for the best day ever.
