"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!"

Melissa Coors
I am so pumped that you are here, if we haven't yet got the chance to meet, I'm Mel— an Oklahoma based wedding + elopement photographer serving the OK, TX, + beyond. I have traveled all over the U.S. documenting love stories just like yours for the past 7 years. (okay not just like yours bc everyones love story is unique)
My approach to your wedding day is all about two things. Documenting your love in a way that feels authentic to you + making sure you have the best time while we do it— more real moments + less perfectly curated portraits. Those are the moments you want to remember most anyways am I right?!

'Melissa helped to make our wedding day stress free.'
"You might be lucky enough to have found a photographer that will capture pictures you like, but there is no better feeling than finding one who will also befriend you and make you feel comfortable in front of their lens.
Melissa was always attentive and communicative. She was invested in creating a timeline to ensure we had time for all of the photos we wanted. She was a team player and collaborated with our wedding coordinator and our vendors. She went above and beyond and even helped when it came to getting my dress buttoned and fixing my bracelet! She was truly prepared and quick to step in to help at any moment. Melissa helped to make our wedding day stress free.
We have always received our photography albums in a timely manner. My husband and I were in awe when we received our completed gallery. She captured our wedding day perfectly as well as the people present. If you value photography and someone who truly cares about their artistry, Melissa is the right person for you. We will treasure these photos forever."

'we are absolutely BLOWN AWAY by her talent'
She is the most genuinely kind, helpful, organized and thoughtful person when it comes to being prepared for whatever your day may throw you. She then handles any twists and turns with such an experienced hand and a casual ease that made us so comfortable to enjoy the day knowing she’s got our back! When I booked Mel she not only became our day-of photographer but jumped whole heartedly into the efforts from timeline planning and checklist writing to showing up with a full emergency kit stocked with anything we could’ve possibly needed in a pinch.
We could not have asked for any more in terms of preparation and communication, the way she conducted herself and her clear level of experience and expertise and to top it all of we just received our photos and we are absolutely BLOWN AWAY by her talent.

'Her work is truly unmatched!'
"I CANNOT recommend Mel enough! She is truly the best! She can make anyone and everyone look good, her fun laid back personality makes the session WAY more enjoyable (coming from a couple who hates having their picture taken) From helping coordinate and plan up to the big day Mel was there the whole time, no matter the challenge she is always willing to lend a helping hand or give you her honest opinion! Her work is truly unmatched! We are forever grateful to have had her at all of our special moments this far!"
