Testimonials

“I had a COVID wedding with only 35 or so guests. One thing I didn’t want to leave out was an amazing photographer to capture the day for us. Melissa included an engagement photo shoot with our wedding booking, which was so nice to get to work with her to get to know each other. My husband is painfully shy in front of the camera, but he said he felt comfortable with Melissa shooting. Melissa was so on top of things that I’d never have thought of. Very prompt, kept up with communication, and sweet too! Our guests loved her and her husband, who was the second shooter. I can’t recommend her enough!”

KAELA AND AARON

“From our first phone call, Melissa made me feel super comfortable with her knowledge and attention to detail! She is very welcoming and kind and made our entire photo experience so easy and fun! Her photos turned out absolutely beautiful and we were so pleased with how they turned out. We had a marathon timeline and she and her husband stayed for all of our really important moments which meant a lot to us. I highly recommend her for your wedding photographer!”

JILLIAN AND MARCUS

“Melissa is outstanding at what she does! She goes above and beyond to listen to what you want and then makes sure she captures those special moments! She does an amazing job making everyone feel comfortable and ensures that everyone has a good time. Melissa did our engagement and wedding photos and we cherish all of our photos! I'd highly recommend her to anyone!”

CARMEN AND BEN

“Melissa was wonderful to work with! We extremely enjoyed the engagement session to get to know her before the wedding, and those photos turned out great. She was great at responding to questions/comments quickly. On our wedding day, she and her husband got there early and got to work on photographing the important details. She had a great eye for lighting and that personal touch. She was great at directing our bridal party and was so easy to work with. 10/10 would recommend. Our photos turned out great!”

AMANDA AND JONATHAN

“Melissa is not only an amazing photographer but so sweet and easy to work with! I felt that our personalities meshed very well but she also remained professional throughout the entire process! She was even willing to take pictures of us with our fur baby! We absolutely loved all of our pictures and it was near impossible to choose which ones to print! Which is another thing she did for us; she printed a couple of gorgeous canvasses for us as well as smaller prints and books for us and our parents, and everything turned out amazing! You will not be disappointed choosing Missy Alison Photography!”
