We cannot thank Melissa enough for the beautiful photos she captured of our wedding day. Melissa was such a joy to have with us throughout the day and made both of us feel so comfortable in front of the camera! Within one day Melissa had provided us with a huge selection of beautiful preview photos which was such a treat just after the wedding. We have now received the whole album and all of the photos are absolutely stunning. We feel so grateful we were able to have Melissa as our photographer. We cannot wait to have Melissa capture more special moments for us in the future!!
Working with Melissa was one of the highlights of our wedding - I can't recommend her enough! When we were looking for a photographer for our special day - we scrolled through a lot of Instagram accounts and websites - and Melissa quickly made the top list. Her style was exactly what we wanted - relaxed yet rustic yet emotional - and importantly - fun! We then had a great initial phone call with her and she went through every part of the day in detail - asking us lots of questions about our backgrounds, our personalities, our style and importantly, what we wanted out of our photography from the wedding. Her professionalism, thoroughness, and eye for detail was exactly what we wanted to reassure us that she was indeed the right fit. We also did an engagement shoot highly recommend!!! which was our first time meeting face to face. This was such a fun afternoon with lots of laughs and guidance for two slightly camera shy people! and she snapped some absolute gems - that afternoon was probably one of my favourite moments in the manic run up to the big day - so I would definitely recommend it to everyone! Before the wedding day, we had spoken a few more times to go through the order of the day and I had introduced Melissa to our videographer while also asking for advice on smoke bombs!. On the day, Melissa arrived completely calm and collected and immediately got cracking with taking some wonderful photos of the venue. We can say that perhaps the girls getting ready room was quite a stressful environment that morning, and alongside our videographer, Melissa jumped into problem solving mode to help save the morning. We went into a different room she carried loads of my stuff as well as all her gear! and helped calm me down. Not only did she save the day then, she also supported my fiance with organising the ceremony space and making sure that all the aesthetics were right for the most perfect photos. Melissa captured so many gorgeous photos throughout the day - in exactly the style we had hoped for - and with such a calm, friendly, welcoming manner - truly making her my favourite person we worked with for our entire wedding. We had our previews within 24 hours so we could do that cheeky IG post before jumping on the plane for our honeymoon, and the full gallery was ready sooner than expected. Not only that, the albums and print outs with the USB were absolutely gorgeous and such a wonderful keepsake. We are truly delighted with how everything turned out and we couldn't be more happy for choosing Melissa to capture our special day. She is a wonderful person and as an OCD, perfectionist, bridezilla with extremely high expectations - I sing her highest praise. Book her now, you really won't regret it.
Melissa was such a dream to work with and helped make our day absolutely perfect! Right from the beginning she was super helpful and even recommended other suppliers when I got stuck. On the day she was amazing, so lovely and felt like far more than just our photographer, she basically helped coordinate our entire day and made everything run smoothly. We couldn’t have done it without Melissa! We’ve had our wedding preview photos and we are blown away by them. They are perfect and we can’t wait to see the rest! Thank you for everything Melissa, I will be recommending you to everyone!
Melissa was just incredible on our wedding day. She made the whole thing a breeze and made us feel so calm and relaxed when taking photos. She organised group shots so well and our wedding gallery is beautiful, we cannot stop looking at the pictures! She captured every aspect of the day including all the little details so looking from the gallery felt like we were reliving it all again. We cannot recommend Melissa enough! If you’re getting married or celebrating a special occasion she is the best person to capture it.
As a wedding videographer, I've had the pleasure of working alongside numerous photographers, but my recent experience with Melissa was truly exceptional. From start to finish, our collaboration was seamless, and together we were able to capture the essence and beauty of the wedding day in a way that exceeded our clients' expectations. Melissa's professionalism and attention to detail were evident right from the initial consultation. She took the time to understand the couple's vision, preferences, and key moments they wanted to be captured. Melissa's ability to establish a warm rapport with the couple and their families made everyone feel at ease throughout the entire wedding process. It was clear that she genuinely cared about capturing their special day in the most authentic and meaningful way possible. On the wedding day itself, Melissa's expertise truly shone. She effortlessly orchestrated group shots, ensuring that everyone was positioned perfectly and captured with utmost clarity. Her ability to work efficiently and maintain a calm demeanor in the midst of the inevitable wedding day chaos was truly admirable. Melissa's creative eye and knack for finding the most picturesque backdrops and angles added a unique touch to each photograph she took. What truly set Melissa apart was her willingness to collaborate and communicate throughout the day. She was receptive to my suggestions and open to finding ways to enhance both our work. We seamlessly coordinated our shots, never getting in each other's way, and always being aware of each other's presence. This allowed us to capture the day from multiple perspectives. Working alongside Melissa was a true pleasure, and I can confidently say that she enhanced my ability to create a beautiful wedding film. Her professionalism, talent, and collaborative spirit made her an invaluable asset. I highly recommend Melissa to any couple looking for a wedding photographer who goes above and beyond to capture the essence of their special day. In conclusion, my collaboration with Melissa was an exceptional experience. Her talent, professionalism, and ability to work harmoniously with a wedding videographer allowed us to create a cohesive and stunning visual representation of our clients' wedding day. I look forward to future collaborations and highly recommend Melissa to any couple seeking a talented wedding photographer who will go the extra mile to capture their special moments.
Melissa is a fantastic photographer and I highly recommend her. Before the wedding she took time to get to know us and understand what we wanted for our wedding. On the day Melissa was outstanding, she went above and beyond to capture photos of our day. The photos we received are stunning, she captured all the special little details and magical moments throughout the day. Thank you!
What can I say, Melissa's pictures are absolutely stunning. How she managed to capture the magic of the day so well while seemingly invisible is just amazing. We'd give 6 stars if we could!
I can't even sum up how brilliant Melissa is. From the get go she has been involved - she came and visited our wedding venue with us to scout out best photo spots. She was understanding when we had to postpone due to covid for a whole year and she was still in contact during that time. She met with me to go over timings before the wedding so I would know where to be and what she needed from us. Her website is great - a way we could all access invoices, timing, list of people we wanted photographed - I felt in such capable hands. On the day she was patient, she was calm and she captured truly stunning photos. She didn't get annoyed when typical for indian weddings our timings went to pot and she worked with us patiently. She sent us previews literally the day after and they were beautiful. You can tell how much work Melissa puts in and how much it means to her to capture the day of her brides and grooms. Thank you does not even cover it!
Melissa was amazing on our day! She made everything run so smoothly and nothing was to much photo wise. Patience of a saint when the groom kept disappearing for another drink! Our photos are just what we wanted. Honestly can not recommend Melissa enough.
