“Would choose Melanie again and again. I actively recommend her to friends and acquaintances who say they’re engaged. She is super friendly, upbeat and good at her job. She blends in well and there are pictures that I don’t even remember her being there for. We had our photo shoot time, our candid time and I feel like she allowed the day to run how we wanted it to while also getting all the pictures we wanted.”

“From day 1, Melanie made myself and my husband feel SO comfortable. We had already worked with her in a friends wedding, and knew she was the perfect photographer for us. Starting with the engagement pictures, our dogs were not the best behaved during pictures and she kept us SO calm and handled everything with ease. She also made us feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera. The wedding day, she was such a joy to be with! I love every single picture she’s taken for us, and she did such an amazing j”

“AMAZING! Book her now.
My best friend gifted me Melanie for my wedding day and I could not be happier! I had a short and sweet, very low key elopement but Melanie made it feel like it was so much bigger and exciting than it really was. She made my husband and I feel comfortable, she talked to us like she's known us for years - to simply put it: she made us feel like we were the only two people in the world that day. AND we had a sneak peak that evening! She captured the most genuine smiles...”

Testimonials
“I was in RVA for a short trip with my gf and wanted to get some nice professional couple shots. Melanie was very kind to fit us in on such short notice and went out of her way to accommodate us. She's fun to shoot with and knows exactly how to direct you in order to get those magic shots. She and my gf even convinced me to smile for a few of them lol. A great experience”
