For us, photos were one of the most important elements of our wedding day, and Melissa Stuckey exceeded our hopes & expectations!! She is an amazing combination of being highly professional and organized, while at the same time seeming laid back and putting everyone at ease. We met ahead so she understood our personalities and the tone of our wedding as well as our "non-negotiables." She went above and beyond in handling the essentials we'd outlined, but she also has the eye and heart to catch countless other timeless moments beautifully. She has a golden personality and added joy to our day, while also having a solid grasp of things like the timeline of the event and managing those pieces so I didn't have to think about it. She is phenomenal at prompting "poses" (that don't look too posed!), and her fun personality made it easy to catch authentically happy shots. She's also highly intuitive and understands the moments that call for something more serious. From our first conversation about the possibility of booking until everything was signed-sealed-&-delivered, Melissa was a huge gift to work with. You can't go wrong with her. Thank you, Melissa!! read more
