Melissa shot our wedding as well as our engagement photos. She is super easy to work with, and made the whole process a breeze. We received our sample photos soon after the event and then a few weeks later the rest and they came out beautifully. The work is stunning and we are very grateful that Melissa shot our special day. Cant recommend enough. Thank you!!
