Melanie is amazing. She saved the day for my small, elegant beach elopement…read more I had been speaking to photographers for months and couldn't find anyone that I liked their work enough to hire who was available with less than a year's notice. In comes Melanie, who I happened to find by accident through a Yelp promo email. She had another shoot earlier in the day, but bc we were doing a later beach elopement ceremony and reception, she could do it! Signing the contract and working out all the details online and via email was easy. She sent me some paperwork to give her details and then we had a phone conversation to discuss and get to know one another. On the day of - she texted me, showed up exactly on time, and was a dream to work with. So friendly, so kind, so helpful. She went above and beyond for me and my family and was so easygoing. She posed us wonderfully and rolled with the punches when a few things didn't go as planned (it's a wedding, it's going to happen!). Absolutely professional. The photos we've been given so far as a preview are stunning and I can't wait to see the others. Everyone raved about how kind she was and how much they liked our photographer afterwards, and when we've sent a few photos, they've all been blown away. I feel lucky to have found Melanie, and her husband Chris, to shoot my day and would recommend her to anyone who asked me for any photos. If we need family portraits or special pics taken in the future, she's our girl!

100/10 RECOMMEND!!…read more Melanie is the absolute SWEETEST person! I found her on Facebook when looking for someone to do my maternity pictures 7-8 months ago!! My maternity pictures are STUNNING and I've never felt more beautiful or loved my body as much as I did then and it was my third pregnancy! My kids absolutely ADORED her and my 3.5 year old son remembers her as the lady who loved his dinosaur toys. I booked our fall pictures with her on my birthday for our second photography session with her! Those pictures are soooo good and my kids were so uncooperative! Melanie also was absolutely amazing with my kids that day too! I booked my daughters first birthday pictures and cake smash with her in June! I'm so excited for those pictures because I just know how absolutely beautiful they are going to be!!! Definitely book a photography session with her! It's very worth your money And she's such an amazing photographer and a sweet person!

Once you get a session with her, it will be impossible to work with any other photographers. She shot many special occasions for me throughout the years but my favorite ones will always be the ones with my pups. Never mind how comfortable she makes you in front of the camera on your wedding day, you should see her in action capturing absolute best moments of very uncooperative dogs, idk how but she makes it happen! She is always open to trying out new themes and having fun! a professional with a true passion for her work. Looking forward to many more sessions in future!

Jess was absolutely amazing during our maternity/family photo shoot at Lake Anna…read more We coordinated on the location and the time of day to ensure the best photos for our family. Jess was extremely flexible and patient as we worked through the optimal location and time. The shoot was amazing, she came prepared with ideas and we had several props to use to help create the experience we wanted. She was GREAT working with our 2 year old son Johnnie, I couldn't believe how great all of the photos were with him. Overall, one of the BEST photoshoots we've had (and we do a lot)! The gallery is just breathtaking and we couldn't be happier with our experience with Jess. Looking forward to another shoot during our next visit to Lake Anna! Crystal Rokos

His prices are excellent; particularly in comparison with some of the other Williamsburg photographers who I thought were overpriced. He did not rush us through the 2 hour session and we were able to go to all the campus sites we wanted. We had him print the images and he did a great job with that as well. Recommend him highly.
