- What was your favorite wedding photo? Oh my goodness there is definitely not ONE favorite photo! She caught so many amazing shots, that I could never choose!
- How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? She's amazing with candids and portraits!! We couldn't have chosen a better photographer...the whole day, we just forgot that there were even photographers around. Very subtle, but observant!
- What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? We had 3 photographers for as long as needed I believe...A big album, 2 small albums for mothers, dvd with all shots, bridal portrait session. Engagement pics were an option, but we chose to have more print credits instead. She was very flexible and accommodating!
- How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? She has a way of making you feel special! She is very easy to talk to, express your concerns to, and she goes the extra mile to do the best job for you! LOVE HER!

- What was your favorite wedding photo? I have so many favorites. Melody did such a great job. I really love all of the ones outside at the church and the reception and the ones of my husband and I dancing.
- How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? She didn't disrupt the day because that is part of her job. She caught images that I didn't even know were happening which was great. The day goes by so quickly that sometimes you miss stuff and Melody fixed that for me.
- What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? My package included so many things. And Melody and Lauren work great together. She has a lot of packages to meet everyone's needs.
- How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? Melody has a calming affect about her. I had some slight issues getting ready that were just not forseen and Melody was able to help resolve those issues to make my day perfect. She was quick with the formals after the ceremony and they turned out perfectly. There was no standing around making people wait which is always a good thing.
Review:Melody is an artist!

- What was your favorite wedding photo? There were so many amazing images to choose from it's hard to pick just one. The picture of us in front of the red window shown above is one of my favorites! Melody has such a great eye, I feel like all of the pictures she took were their own individual works of art. So many of our friends and family told us that the pictures were so amazing we looked like we were in a magazine!
- How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? She was excellent, I never even noticed her or her assistant during the ceremony. There are plenty of candid shots, action shots and portraits. They were all phenomenal and there was an excellent mix of all types of shots.
- What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? Bridal portrait, unlimited time with two shooters on wedding day, an album, photo credits for printing, online proofing, a disc with all images of the wedding and all images of the bridal portrait, rights to use the photos, and engagement pics (although we chose not to do the e-pics b/c we were so busy!).
- How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? She is easy to get along with and very friendly. She really does love weddings and her enthusiasm shows. She is down to earth and she gives very clear and easy to understand directions for photos. I initially felt very uncomfortable and nervous at my bridal shoot, but she made me feel comfortable and beautiful in my dress and within a few minutes I felt great! I had an excellent experience with her throughout the entire process, and she is always very quick to respond to any questions you may have.

- What was your favorite wedding photo? There are so many!! It is really hard to pick but. I really was impressed with a photo where I was standing in the room above the chapel waiting for the ceremony to start and the sun was setting and shining through the window. Melody took this amazing picture with me leaning against the window and ended up altering it into three different contrasts. There were also a group of photos where Melody was up on a chair and Austin's (groom) friends were surrounding him preparing to throw him up in the air. The shot is very creative and really puts you in the moment. It was a great time.
- How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? Melody and her partner never got in the way during the day, they were on time, they did their own thing and told me exactly what to do and where I needed to be. I told her that she is the artist and that I wanted her to control the shots. She took great candids, action shots and the portraits were fast, creative and I felt like I didn't miss a beat at the reception.
- What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? In our wedding package, we received a full CD with all images and printing rights, engagement photo session, and unlimited time with two photographers the day of the wedding. She also worked with me a lot before the wedding to figure out timing, a list of portraits and other details.
- How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? Melody was fun and relaxed. Her attitude and personality was extremely comforting. It felt like she was just one of the group - she just had a camera in her hand. I received so many comments from guests at the wedding about how professional she was. She also conversed with a few of the guests and they mentioned her following the wedding. They complimented ME on finding her :).

- What was your favorite wedding photo? We have so many favorites, however one set of pictures def sticks out. Melody grabbed us to take a couple pictures as the sun was setting and they were gorgeous! We also loved the portrait shots that she took. All in all the photos were amazing.
- How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? Melody captured everything and we had no idea that she was there. Again all of the shots were amazing. The candids were great. The portraits are awesome and she definitely knows how to pose both men and women to bring out their best attributes. We had some action shots with a horse and carriage which were great too. All in all we could not have been happier with the work that she has done.
- What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? In our package we got Melody and her assistant for 7-8 hours. The package also includes a high resolution CD and we separately ordered thank you cards with a couple of pictures
