06. Gallery & Print Delivery

A few days after your engagement session you’ll receive a few sneak peeks to share with your family and friends. Within two weeks of your session we’ll email you a link to a private online gallery where you can view and download your photos. You'll have plenty of time to order prints for your wedding invitations. The hardest part of the process will be deciding which ones to send!

Once we’ve decided on a location, you’ll receive our style guide filled with tips and outfit inspiration, complete with links for where to find the outfits and accessories! We’ll also tell you which colors look the best in the family portrait location that you picked.

05. Your Engagement Session

Once we’ve decided on a location, you’ll receive our engagement session prep guide filled with tips about how to make your session go smoothly. We’ll also tell you which colors look best in the location that you picked. (Or, if you know what colors you would like to wear, we can tell you what locations would work the best with those colors.)

04. Style Guide

After we receive your questionnaire, we’ll decide on a location. If you don’t already know where you want to go, we can recommend some locations based on your interests.

03. Location

Every couple has their own unique story, and we’re so excited to capture yours! We'll have you fill our a pre-session questionnaire so that we can get to know you better and customize your engagement session experience. We want to make sure that we're creating photos that truly reflect who you are, both individually, and as a couple.

02. Get to Know You

Engagement portrait sessions are typically scheduled at least 3 months before your wedding. We want you to have plenty of time to get the photos printed for your engagement announcements. Jospeh and I can’t wait to meet you!

"I loved having Melissa as our photographer! From the second my husband and I got there, she made us feel extremely comfortable and excited to be there. Posing is always something I’ve felt awkward with, but Melissa made us feel like pros. She had us pose in several different ways, and was able to get a ton of amazing shots in a quick amount of time. She was so energetic and excited, always telling us how great we looked and how great the pictures were, which made us feel like absolute rockstars. We just got our gallery today (much quicker than expected!) and love them so much! I definitely recommend Melissa as your next photographer!"

Our experience with Melissa Photography was awesome. They're very easy going and fun to work with. If you have no idea on how to pose, don't worry. They have a lot of tips and ideas so you won't mess up. They have a pretty good eye on choosing the perfect spot too. Our pictures turned out brilliant, very professional looking. Better than we thought! We love them!

"Melissa was wonderful to work with. She instantly made us feel comfortable and was very fun and creative with how she posed us. She also showed us pictures periodically when she captured an especially great shot (which was fun for us to get a sneak preview!) Overall, great experience. Thanks Melissa!"

"We're so glad we chose Melissa as the photographer for our daughter's wedding! She and Joseph are a fun and talented duo! They were professional in every way, flexible, and so easy to work with. Melissa is a natural crowd whisperer and kept everyone focused and happy! I guess the bottom line is the pictures were breathtaking and the process was seamless. Highly recommend!!"
