"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!!"

Frequently Asked Questions

What is your style?

We create photos in vibrant, true-to-life colors that emphasize our couples' joy and love. Because most meaningful moments aren't scripted, we capture a wide variety of casual and candid photos in addition to traditional posed shots throughout the wedding day.

Do you recommend having an "unplugged" ceremony?

Definitely. Not only does an "unplugged" ceremony allow your guests to focus on you, it also ensures that we are able to do our job smoothly. This is also very important during family formals when all eyes need to be on our cameras rather than someone else's. In your welcome email we'll give you tips for speaking to guests ahead of time.

Do you have experience shooting indoors?

Yes! We have excellent flash equipment for indoor ceremonies and receptions. In fact, almost all of the weddings we've covered have had at least one part of the day indoors.

We have a huge family. Do you charge extra for a large guest list?

No way! We have a lot of experience with large groups so the more the merrier.

May we share our gallery link with our friends and family?

Absolutely! You may share your gallery link with as many people as you want.

How soon should we hold our engagement session?

We recommend holding your engagement session at least 8 weeks before your wedding day. This gives you plenty of time to order prints for your wedding invitations and reception.

What is a formal session and why should we have one?

Formal sessions are bridal sessions that include the groom. These are typically held before the wedding day. Formal sessions allow our couples to spend some time with each other in a much more relaxed and private environment than they will have on their wedding day. It frees up time on the wedding day and it allows our couples to have more flexibility in choosing a location.

How soon should we hold our engagement session?

We recommend holding your formal session at least 4 weeks before your wedding day. This gives you plenty of time to order prints for the reception. If you want to include your formal session photos in your guest book, you may want to ask the printer how long the guest book will take to print.

Where should we go for our formal session?

We've held sessions in mountains, deserts, lakes, the city, and more throughout Salt Lake and Utah County. Most of these gorgeous locations take less than an hour to get to! We can recommend the perfect location for your formal session. Or, if there's a location that has special meaning to you, we'd love to go there!

Can we hold our formal session in more than one location?

Absolutely! Most of our couples choose to have at least two locations for their formal sessions. Since traveling to more than one location takes time away from taking pictures, most of our couples add more time to their formal sessions in order to get all of the photos they want.

I feel pretty awkward in front of the camera. Is that ok?

That's completely fine! Many of our couples have said the same thing. Don't worry, we'll walk you through every step of your portrait time so that you feel comfortable and confident. You're going to be great!
