Reviews & Kind Words

"We had the best experience with Melissa cannot recommend her enough. We had a limited budget and an unusual schedule for our wedding day (morning ceremony and evening reception), but Melissa worked with us to create a plan that was within our budget and allowed us to capture everything we wanted on the day.

We had several initial phone calls and meetings to establish what we were looking for and Melissa took the time to understand our vision for the day, offering helpful insight and advice from their experience shooting weddings. Her professionalism and flexibility upfront were enough for a five-star rating; her ability to deliver great photos on a quite chaotic wedding day sealed the deal. Nothing went according to our plans on our wedding morning (rain, difficult vendors), but Melissa arrived on time and quickly adapted to our completely changed schedule and the frantic last-minute chaos. She captured everything we requested and then some, putting us at ease despite the disruptions that morning.

Melissa was a calming presence throughout the morning, stepping in when necessary, and working quietly to capture the day autonomously when we were pulled away by vendors or guests. Her easygoing and engaging way of prompting us for photos helped us sink into the moment despite all else. Melissa sent over a great preview very soon after the event and the rest of the photos came a week later. The resulting photos are better than we could have imagined.

Overall we could not be happier and would strongly recommend her to anyone for their events. You can rest assured that she will deliver for you, no matter what challenges come up on the day. Melissa felt more like a collaborator that were working with us through the event, while other vendors felt like factors to be navigated. If you are looking for the highest quality photos with total peace of mind, look no further. You won’t find yourself in better hands for your most special moments!"

"I can't say enough good things about Melissa! From the moment we first talked, I just knew she was the one we wanted for our wedding. On the big day, she was absolutely incredible, capturing every perfect moment with such an amazing eye for detail.

Melissa's photojournalism style was exactly what we were looking for. She has this talent for blending candid moments with beautifully posed shots, and the pictures she took with film have this gorgeous, timeless feel to them. Plus, she was so calm and reassuring throughout the day, anticipating everything we needed before we even knew we needed it.

We booked her for 10 hours to make sure we got "the most" coverage, including our rehearsal dinner and an engagement shoot, and her team did a fantastic job with the videography too.

If you're looking for a photographer who will go above and beyond to make your wedding day unforgettable, Melissa is the one. We couldn't be happier with our photos and videos. Highly recommend her to anyone and everyone!"

"We used Melissa for our wedding at Tanglewood, and she did an AMAZING job! From candid getting-ready photos, to the ceremony and reception, she made sure to capture every important moment. She was also really great at managing our time to wrangle family for portraits, and she never got caught up in the chaos of the day.

I've attended weddings where the photo team can be obtrusive, but Melissa seamlessly and gracefully did her thing without making it feel awkward or affecting our experience! In fact, she was a joy to hang out with and her presence only added to the big day. She is kind, funny, smart, and super supportive--everything you could want during such a busy but exciting time!

After the wedding, Melissa sent us our sneak peek photos within 24 hours, and we were so pleased to see that they were absolutely beautiful. She really listened to what we wanted regarding the photo style and important moments. A few weeks later, we received our entire gallery, and were so thrilled with the results! Further, it was super easy to order prints on her website. I cannot recommend her enough--Melissa is THE best choice for your important day!"

"Melissa is a true photojournalist. She captures the moment perfectly without the need for multiple shots which is so impressive because every picture she took at our rehearsal and wedding is amazing (all 2k+!)!!

She’s so fun to be around, responds immediately, gets you sneak peaks in less than 24 hours and honestly takes the best photos I’ve ever seen of myself, my family and friends.. What more can you ask for? Thank you!!!!"

"Working with Melissa for my wedding was truly a dream. Melissa is not only an incredibly talented photographer, she is also responsive and involved in the entire wedding process. She was one of the first vendors we signed on to work with after booking our venue. I had so many ideas for what I wanted my wedding photos to look like, and none of it was traditional and posed. Melissa completely understood this and promised tons of candids and relaxed shots. Melissa completely delivered!

We have so many beautiful shots of places in our neighborhood that are important to us that feel more editorial than wedding. I can't even express the joy we felt when we saw the number of beautiful candids she and her partner took of both my husband and I and our guests. Planning a wedding during a pandemic was incredibly stressful, but Melissa did all she could to lighten our burden. We will cherish these photos for years to come of the most incredible day of our lives."

"I cannot say enough incredible things about Melissa. She is responsive, kind, professional, and very patient. And she was very accommodating as I kept adding things on to our photo & video packages leading up to the wedding. Working with Melissa for our wedding day was the easiest decision we made, and by far the best! My partner and I love her photography & editing style – we really really did NOT want “light & airy”/over exposed photos. We wanted our photos to look real & true to real life and that is EXACTLY what Melissa delivered!

Melissa kept everything on track on the big day; making sure we got all our portraits/family formals in before the ceremony (with time to spare!), which was important to me. She and her team cruised through the evening capturing the most wonderful photos and video. My husband and I couldn’t be happier with all the beautiful work. I mean, I even woke up the day after the wedding to an email of about 30 sneak peek photos! Melissa’s work ethic is just unmatched."

"This review is long overdue and well deserved. If you only have time to read one more sentence: Hire Melissa and be confident that you will get the photos and vision you want on your special day!

We partnered with Melissa  for our wedding this past September and she shot, composed and edited our engagement photos as well. Melissa as a vendor is responsive, friendly, knowledgeable, creative and gregarious. She was always open and transparent with us, patient listening to what we thought we wanted and our vision and was always available to offer feedback as we requested.

She walked us through the entire wedding process with respect to the photography aspect and she also offered assistance as we needed in related areas as we got closer to our wedding date. Our first interaction with her was our engagement photo shoot and Melissa made my partner and I feel comfortable while she was shooting and she was very flexible in the shots we wanted to take and what we wanted to see. Very importantly for me, Melissa has a great eye for a memorable photo!

Getting to see the raw photos as well as the edited ones Melissa showed us her talent and professionalism. We shot in bright sunlight, shade and darker areas and Melissa was able to handle it all. Our wedding was a few months later at our parents house and the area that the ceremony took place in was unique in that there were a lot of trees/shadows/light patterns to manage. Melissa handled it all! She and her partner used every trick in the book to get the best photos of my wife and I and were able to take some classic natural/unposed shots of us.

It speaks to her professionalism and vision that she knew where to be and when to get the best shots! Post-wedding, Melissa had us a sizable preview to review almost 24 hours after the wedding so she could collect feedback before sending us our final photo collection. Once sent, Melissa made it very easy for us to share photos with family and friends and access them in the future for when we wanted to reminisce. We can't thank Melissa enough and we recommend her for all of your photography needs!"

"Some of my favorite memories with my now-husband are ones where we’ve headed out on an adventure, and no adventure could be bigger than planning a wedding in the middle of a global pandemic during a hotly contested election season. Blerg! We're nuts! Photography was the one “vendor” that was most important to us, and we were super jazzed to meet Melissa and discover that she’s as cool and fun as she is professional and talented. Everything felt effortless with her and her team; never any awkwardness (which is evident in all our pics).

We’re so grateful for your wonderful work. Our photos are truly beautiful, classic and artful—none of the cheesy, cliché stuff. Melissa took the time to meet for coffee and get to know us (which helps when taking such important pics). She also scouted the light and grounds at our reception space to make the most of the limited daylight we had available. We can't thank you enough. Highly recommend 10/10."

"We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer than Melissa! She was incredibly easy to work with every step of the way. She was responsive and organized but more importantly, you could tell that she genuinely wanted to make our day as special as possible.

Neither of us are used to being photographed, but she created a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere which made it all feel natural and even fun. ("Flirty hands!") She truly has a gift for capturing genuine moments without making anything feel forced.

And our photos turned out absolutely stunning! Everything is beautifully composed and full of emotion. She managed to capture everything in a way that lets us relive the day over and over again. Each time I look back at our photos, I just remember how happy we felt in each of those moments.

I truly cannot recommend Melissa enough. Hiring her was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! <3"

"Melissa was so wonderful to work with for our wedding. She was clear, communicative, and helped us document a wonderful day. She and her team are extremely talented and captured the joy and love of our wedding so beautifully. We will cherish our photos from Love, Melissa for the rest of our lives!!"

-Meg & Ted, 2025

"Melissa made my special day stress free and fun. I expressed to her we were awkward and didn’t know how to pose and she responded with “I specialize in awkward.” She made us feel so comfortable and photogenic. She went above and beyond because my wedding outfit didn’t come in time and offered to split the session. I can’t wait to work with her again!"

-Olivia & Mike, 2025

"Melissa is the absolute best! She made my husband and me feel comfortable immediately, and the pictures came out better than we could have ever hoped for.

From the moment we first reached out to Melissa, her communication was clear, quick, and made us feel truly heard. The quality of their work was nothing short of perfect - the photos she captured were stunning and absolutely gorgeous.

We were obsessed with Melissa's artistic eye and the way she was able to beautifully document all the special moments of our wedding day. Love, Melissa exceeded our expectations in every way, and we would highly recommend her to any couple looking for a talented, professional, and personable wedding photographer."

-Julia & Brendan, 2025

"Melissa is the best photographer! She was incredibly helpful throughout our wedding planning process, from initial point of contact, taking engagement photos, planning how to best optimize our wedding day for enjoying the day & taking amazing photos and finally by sending over photos literally days after our wedding. We had an amazing time working with her and would recommend her services to anyone!! <3"

-Alex & Sean, 2024

"Melissa is so wonderful! She photographed my brothers wedding, my wedding & my cousins wedding. We love her so much. She makes you feel so comfortable taking pictures and not awkward or super posed. Her editing is phenomenal and she’s so quick too.

She helped me figure out the whole timeline for the wedding and when pictures should be taken, it really helped calm my nerves. I highly recommend her, whenever anyone sees our wedding pictures they always comment how great they came out."
