"Mel was literally the best photographer! Easy going, helpful, and really stepped in to get her work done! She helped with the entire process, from the moment I reached out to her to wedding day and beyond!
We can't choose a favorite because they are all soooo good! She became a friend in the short amount of time we spent with her and she was so reliable and helpful on our big day, she had a wedding day kit that we used a few times as well. Thank you so much for helping make our day a breeze Mel!"

'10000/10 recommend booking the Turquoise Lens.'
"If you’re looking for a photographer, Melissa is your girl! I’ve been in several weddings, and she is by far the most fun, professional, talented photographer I’ve had the pleasure of being around. Her turnaround time is so fast and you will not be disappointed. I had several guests and all of my bridesmaids comment on how amazing Melissa was at keeping us on schedule and taking unique photos. She was also a huge help in planning my wedding day timeline. I personally hate having my picture taken and always feel awkward, but I never did with Melissa! She even got my horses to cooperate with beautiful sunset photos! 10000/10 recommend booking the Turquoise Lens."

'Hardworking. Personable. Talented. Professional. Experienced.'
"Mel had all the qualities we were looking for in a photographer for our engagement & wedding pictures! Not only did she capture all the moments perfectly for us, but she kept things running smoothly & offered great advice. Mel’s experience, patience & personality combined with her talent behind the lens deserves far more than 5 stars.
10/10 recommend!!"
