"Photography is so important, and you can put your full trust in her!"
"Her work is impeccable, the quality and coloring of her photos is stunning. Her personability, direction, and creative vision to capture the most beautiful moments have turned our engagement and wedding into physical memories we will value for the rest of our lives. Photography is so important, and you can put your full trust in her!"
"Exceeded not only the expectations of a photographer, but the expectations of a human being."
"She made every effort imaginable to not only get to know us, but our story, our personal likes and dislikes, and LISTENED to our ideas. From the first FaceTime call, Melissa has exceeded not only the expectations of a photographer, but the expectations of a human being.
Melissa is without a doubt the best photographer anyone could ask for."
"She was WELL WORTH it."
" She was there for every moment… she didn’t overwhelm me with questions, needs, or anything really- she just knew what to do, when to do it, and when there was no direction, she figured it out. I received many compliments from my guests of how great she was AT my wedding and said they were the best pictures they’d ever seen of a wedding. I’m so glad we made the investment, she was WELL WORTH it."
"If I could give more than 5 stars, I’d give an endless amount."
"If I could give more than 5 stars, I’d give an endless amount. Over and over again Melissa has shown how incredibly talented she is in our photos we’ve received. We had our engagement shoot, boudoir shoot and our wedding with her and all I can say is WOW. "
"The MVP of our wedding!"
"I cannot gush enough about how phenomenal Melissa is. She is so bubbly, passionate, hard working and talented. The photos she captured for our wedding are such a treasure to me and my husband. All of our family and friends raved about her after our wedding. I am SO grateful I found Melissa to be our wedding photographer. She is an absolute rockstar and was the MVP of our wedding!"
"She truly has a gift and is so talented at what she does."
When I tell you she is the BEST at what she does, I absolutely mean it. Our favorite part of working with her (besides her becoming part of our family) was totally trusting her to work her magic. She truly has a gift and is so talented at what she does. Not only did she help us feel comfortable, but she helped us feel so confident in front of the camera!
"Melissa's photos are literally breathtaking."
“I might be totally biased, but our engagement session was nothing short of AMAZING. Melissa’s photos are literally breathtaking! I always tell my fiancé he’s beautiful, but Melissa was able to catch on film my once in a lifetime love and to me that is priceless. I highly recommend working with Stella Shots Media.”
