A thank you and review... I want to give you our most sincerest thank you, for capturing our wedding day. I truly enjoyed you as our photographer and hope to keep working with you as our family grows !! Lissarie Photography captured my weddingin a way that can't be explained. Every smile, every tear and little detail of our day is forever caputured in time by her captive eye and sense of beauty. Working with her 2 years prior to my wedding (yep, that's how long we worked together, and she was the best ever!!!) via email, telephone and text, was a pleasure. I loved everything about her and so did my fiancee. Her professionalism and talent are supurb and above my greatest expectation. No weird posing was ever done, and we just relaxed and she snapped away... She captured our engagement photos before we wed...those left us speechless too. All in all, Melissa is a wonder to work with and can capture the beautiful moments from her lense and they bring us so much joy. My family and friends RAVE about her work...I've also printed with her lab, and they do fabulous work. Easy to order and fast delivery. She packages everything herself before sending you the final result. She is truly an artist and I would recommend her for any wedding (or maternity sesh, or family sesh....or any sesh for that matter)... **she consider her reasonably priced for her quality of work and talent. SHE IS WORTH EVERY PENNY, AND THEN SOME! Here's a peek at her work for our wedding: http://www.lissariephotography.com/2013/05/daisy-and-cesar-orange-county-wedding-photographer.html our engagement sesh: http://www.lissariephotography.com/2012/03/cesar-daisy-orange-county-photographer.html read more

Love Melissa at Lissarie Photography. She is great with kids, prompt, reasonably priced, and fast at getting your pictures to you. She took my daughters 6 month pics and did an AMAZING job.

Melissa is an amazing and talented photographer. I was so pleased by the photos she took of me. I used her to do a yoga photo shoot along with photos of my puppy. For me the best thing when working with a photographer is having someone you feel comfortable with and who knows what they are doing. Melissa's demeanor is friendly and supportive. Best of all she WANTS you to look your best and wants you to be happy with your photos. This is her passion and it shows. You I'll be happy you choose her to take your photos! read more

Melissa is a truly talented photographer! We've been using her for our family photos ever since we moved to Orange County and couldn't be happier! We have 3 young kids who don't particularly like getting their picture taken but Melissa always makes the sessions fun and adjusts to our needs. It's always a pleasant surprise when she sends me the gallery of dozens of perfect pictures! I also recently used her when I needed headshots and lifestyle photos. She can do it all! Thanks Melissa for giving our family photographs that we can treasure forever! read more

And I will continue to tell others about her great quality of work as well as continue to use her for our family photos and more. read more

My family is a big and crazy group...there were 13 of us for our shoot with Melissa. We had to wait out the heavy rain and then did our beach session while fighting strong winds and harsh bright lighting. Through all of that, Melissa was a total professional. She made it all seem like it was no big deal and our photos show no signs of the crazy conditions of the day. They are fantastic! I'd recommend anyone use Melissa for all your photography needs. read more
