Introduction: Hi there! My name is Mellissa , Nice to meet you! : ) If you're looking for a photographer down for an adventure to create some photo magic and and capture all your special moments, I'm your girl! I have many tips for your wedding day such as Golden Hour= Sunset-1 hr and a half, have appetizers during your cocktail hour so guests don't get antsy, consider having a First Look, and leave at least one hour after the ceremony (during appetizer and cocktail hour) for family photos. Whether it's your first time in front of the camera, or you've had experience before, I strive to bring out your confident side with poses and natural expressions. If you are interested, reach out through social media or we can also set up a complimentary phone consultation to discuss your special day and any questions you may have. Looking forward to hearing from you! Warm Regards, -Mellissa

Mellissa was wonderful to work with, and did an amazing job at our wedding. The photos came out great, and the edits she made to the photos truly made our photos come alive. She was a great communicator from beginning to end, and was fun to work with. If you are looking for a photographer for any event in the bay area, then I highly encourage you to hire Mellissa. You wont regret it!

Mellisa covered two back-to-back wedding events for me; wedding day and a pre-wedding “mehndi” evening. Both the events went way overtime (started late and ended late) but Mellisa was so flexible. From the very beginning she took interest in the kind of events I was having and what I wanted from her. My wedding was a Pakistani wedding (unlike traditional American weddings) and yet Mellisa managed to capture it just the way we would back in Pakistan. I loved how she paid attention to small details and I am loving the photos she has taken.

Mellissa recently captured our wedding day as well as took engagement photos for us. I did a lot of research in looking for a photographer who would deliver great results at a great price. We loved working with Mellissa--she is super easy to work with and always showed up on time and in a professional manner. I am so happy we chose to work with Mellissa and would recommend her to anyone else in the bay area.

FAQs

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    I have taken Photography classes at D.V.C.

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    I have worked with people fully confident in front of the camera AND most importantly, people who need a little push of confidence, and I instruct them how to pose to get the best shot ! Everyone, even someone who has never taken photos before, can look amazing with a little guidance, and I consider this my expertise.
