Top 10 reasons why you should hire Melissa!

1. So you can actually enjoy yourself!

My approach to wedding coverage is a combination of photojournalistic style, and what I call 'helped-candids'. During much of the event I make myself as unobtrusive as possible in order to capture "you" as you really are on your special day. I also set some time aside to create a few formal images, formal but not stuffy, posed, but not fake. Your wedding day should be fun, even during the photo session.

2. Personalized service from start to finish

I shoot a very limited number of weddings per year, so that each of my couples get the full attention they deserve. I plan and personalize your photography, from the actual shooting, to the Photoshop work, to the album design, to match your personality, your wishes and the venue.

3. You keep the negatives

A few weeks after your wedding, you get a full set of high-resolution images. These are the equivalent of negatives and they are yours to keep. You can copy, send, manipulate, reprint, reprint and reprint them as much as you wish. You have complete rights to your own images. It is your wedding, after all!

4. Perfect skin and great light garanteed.

I work on every single one of your images, making sure that each is a true representation of how special your wedding day was. I remove blemishes, balance the light, and remove unsightly signs and other distracting elements. You can order any of your photos as color, black and white, or any other specially processed images.

5. Always prepared.

I am equipped with state-of-the-art digital technology, and can, on average, fit about 700 images on one card, so that I almost never have to change the card, and risk missing a great shot. I also always come prepared with backup for all my gear. So, that is one thing you don't have to worry about on your big day.

6. Free online ordering.

You receive a website with free online ordering. So, instead of lugging heavy proof books all around town, you can simply direct your friends and family to your special website. You might even be able to take a peek at your photos from a cyber café while enjoying your honeymoon in some exotic locale.

7. Straight-forward pricing structure

My pricing structure is simple and straight-forward, you pay for what you want, nothing less, nothing more. There are no fine print, no hidden costs, no bad surprises.

8. Worldwide coverage

We will fly anywhere in the world to document your special day. If the location you have chosen interests us in terms of travel photography, we will waive our creative fees completely, you only need to pay for us (one photographer, one assistant) to get there, and allow us an extra day of lodging for our own wanderings and photographic ventures. Contact us to discuss your project and see what we can work out.

9. Depth of experience.

My main background is in travel and adventure photography, which trained me to be quick, stealthy, and able to catch that once in a lifetime moment accurately on film on the first try. Wedding photography isn't so different from travel and adventure photography. Wedding days are days of condensed life and heightened emotions, part fast action, part classic portraits, part exotic, part décor, always different, always special, always magical.
