Melvin and his videography partner from Pixiewed were amazing!!! They drove all the way from Houston, to our wedding in Keller, TX!!! They were early and so happy to be there with us on our wedding day. They were always on top of everything and got every shot we needed, wanted, and even way more than we expected!! We got a highlight and trailer video with our package and they were amazing. It definitely made me cry because it captured every amazing detail of our special day. They got along so well with our family and guests, and everyone loved them!! Their turn around time is fast, but we even got our pictures and videos back a couple weeks before their expected turn around time. Talk about amazing customer service! Definitely book with Pixiewed because you get what you paid for and much more! read more

We had a fantastic experience with Pixiewed. Quality photos were in my top 3 most important things for my wedding. Melvin was very responsive during the planning process. I had Dalia and Alberto as the photographers for my wedding and they were fantastic! They arrived on time and got right to work shooting the details photos. They made the posed portraits quick and easy (neither of us have much patience for posed photos). I also had asked for a lot of candid photos of our guests and they delivered! All of my photos turned out amazing! Even the unedited ones are gorgeous on their own! Melvin did a fantastic job editing our photos and we got them back 5 DAYS after the wedding! I would highly recommend Pixiewed. Thank you so much for capturing our wedding! read more

Melvin is a great, fun photographer to work with. Booking online and texting with him up leading up to the photoshoot was easy. Very quick to respond and he was flexible with adjusting our times since the daylight saving messed it up. He's super nice and helpful when it comes directing our poses because it was our first time...we don't know what we're doing! He's open to the fun shot I wanted to do which was pouring champagne in to our mouth haha the pictures came out awesome!! I would recommend! :) read more

My husband and I were married back in November of 2016. We booked with 888 productions package deal for wedding photography, videographer, and day of event services. Melvin was our photographer for both our engagement and wedding photos. He is professional and talented photographer who will guide you through process and open to any suggestion or ideas you may have. Engagement Session Review: Our photos were taken at the Santa Monica Pier and LACMA. On the day of the session at Santa Monica we experienced very high winds. My husband and I had doubts about our pictures but Melvin made it work. He played with lighting and props we found on the beach. As the result, the pictures came out amazing! Wedding Session Review: Our wedding took place at the Universal Hilton Hotel. I was stressing out when my family and friends told me they were running late due to a protest happening in LA. You what? Melvin and his team still show up on time. A very reliable and punctual photographer! He truly capture all the special moments during our wedding. My husband and I couldn't ask for a better photographer. I highly recommend booking Melvin and his team for your engagement and wedding photos. Thank you Melvin!!! read more

Melvin and his team were phenomenal! We did our engagement pictures as well as our wedding of course. The engagement pictures were great to get to know each other and get our vibes. They captured so many great memories and love we experienced on our special day! read more

Melvin and the team were absolutely amazing to work with!!!! They were VERY responsive, very easy to work with, and most importantly.. made our wedding day so much fun! There is never a dull moment in capture our wedding with this team. From the moment they showed up, they quickly pulled out their drone and began filming. They got all the best angles and were very creative in their shots they took. I'm very pleased with the outcome of all our wedding photos, truly 5 star quality work. I also cannot stop raving about Our wedding video !! Everyone we know says they can't watch it without crying and loved how much emotional and beauty was captured throughout every second of our highlight video.

Melvin and his team were the second vendor we personally met with and based on that one meeting, my fiance and I knew Vey Gallery was the one! It was serendipity. We chose a package that included an engagement session. We had our photographer, Melvin, pick the location shoot for us = Disney Concert Hall. As a couple, we're not used to having our pictures taken we can be quite awkward and I was afraid we'll give Melvin a tough time. To our surprise, Melvin directed every move, pose, look and touch during the session. It was incredible! All we had to do was follow his directions. When he says, "walk towards me," I thought, "that's be a hard photo to catch but I'll walk." When we saw the pictures, we were AMAZED! I love our photos and can't wait for the big day pictures!

Where do I start... Melvin is my mentor for wedding photography. I'm on of his shooter and he never ceased to direct , guide and review my works to make us better photographer. I recently just got hitched and of course he has to be my wedding photographer, who else should I trust my special day with? Melvin directed the pose, angle, he managed to capture every details of getting ready, first look, ceremony and reception. He made me as the bride very calm and comfortable. He knows what he has to do and shoot. No shot list needed for him. He came way early than the schedule and ready to shoot. Pictures turn out very nice and fast! I can't thank him enough for his kindness and professionalism. BEST PHOTOGRAPHER EVER!!!! read more

Melvin gilbert!!!!! My husband and I cant thank him enough on our engagement photoshoot! We first met Melvin through solano 888 videoproduction for our wedding this august 1. (By the way check them out too!) Instantaneously, as we started working with Melvin, he completely made us feel comfortable. It was more like a friend taking photos of us rather then a professional photographer. He was able to capture our moments and most importantly he was able to capture the true us with a simple click on his camera. We loved every minute of it!!! Hes very encouraging because we we're a little shy at first, but later on it just became natural. And as a photographer Melvin sees every detail needed to get a great shot. We had a 3 attire photoshoot, a formal, semi formal, and casual in LA....because we wanted to capture where we are from...and Melvin sure captured the beautuful architecture of the walt Disney concert hall, the mark taper forum, and the beautiful buildings of LA. Seeing Melvins other work, we were hooked on his images becuase we knew he do this for us....and no disappointments at all! We believe as a up and coming professional photographer, Melvin has a bright future ahead of him and know that he will do amazing things throughout his career. We are so blessed to have met him and only look forward to our big day this summer! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts melvin! read more

Melvin is phenomenal. He's so patient and kind - and offers a lot of great ideas and suggestions. He did my fiancée and I's engagement shoot and Save The Date video, and our family is absolutely obsessed!!! Everything came out so well. Might I add, it was the middle of July in San Antonio, TX. We were hot!! But you cannot tell from the Save the Date video. Melvin's quality of work is completely outstanding. The video was a dream come true!! One thing to add is that we originally had another photographer/videographer prior to Melvin. They were awful. We had cut all ties with them. I was upset and wondering "what to do" when information on Pixiewed came through the mail. What a great sign!! WORK WITH MELVIN!! read more

(Engagement Review) BEST PHOTOGRAPHER EVER!! No, seriously. I first met Melvin the day of my best friends wedding. I knew right away that he was a nice guy just by the way he carries himself. Once we started taking pictures with everyone..I saw just how focused he was. It's like he gets lost right when he starts clicking that button. It's only him, his camera, the beautiful bride and her groom. He absolutely knew what he was doing. Throughout the day, I got to know him a little better and started getting more comfortable with him. He's not that serious of a guy (not strict), he's actually really funny and that's what I love about him. I absolutely fell in love with his personality and his work so my fiance and I decided to hire him for our wedding. The day of our engagement shoot we decided to meet up in Pasadena. We visited three local spots: Ambassador Mansion, Colorado Bridge, and Arlington Garden. All were recommended by him. He knew exactly the good spots and angles. haha my good angles at least. He's very open to any suggestions and ideas if you have any. The whole entire day I felt as if we were just hanging out. That's how comfortable I was. At the end, he showed me some of the pictures he captured and I was definitely shocked by how beautiful all of them were. I had to change my facebook default picture that night. haha I mean.. who wouldn't? ;) Thank you Melvin for all of your hard work!! We love you! read more

If you haven't hired videography for your event, this is your sign to hire Pixiewed. Melvin and his team were absolutely wonderful to work with. The package I purchased included a drone along with the videographer. I was sad and anxious when he told me it could take 4-16 weeks to get my videos. WELL... to my complete and wonderful surprise, Melvin sends me the video link TODAY! Just 2 weeks after my wedding. You might think if we got the work back so quickly that it may not be great, but you would be wrong! I cried when I saw the highlights video. I've watched it several times. All the best moments were beautifully captured and pieced together, including the voice over of our vows. Even my bridesmaids and MIL complemented the video. I've heard horror stories about other videographers, but I am so so so happy I trusted Pixiewed to capture my wedding. I can't thank Melvin and team enough for their amazing work. read more

I hired Pixiewed for my wedding in February. Throughout the planning process Melvin was very professional and available to answer any questions that we had. Wedding week they emailed us to ensure that we were both on the same page. Wedding day, they communicated to me when they were on their way and even arrived before their scheduled time to begin getting drone footage. As soon as we arrived to the venue they begin getting all of the shots I requested and I could tell it was very important to them to get all of the shots that we asked for. With a very large group of groomsmen and bridesmaids, the team was able to heavily direct us, which is what we needed to keep everyone in line and ensure the shots get captured, while still keeping it fun! Shorty after getting home from our honeymoon we were prepared to wait another month at least to receive content as people do before their photos are ready. HOWEVER, Melvin surprised us with our wedding video and a social media teaser after only one week! Again, he texted to let us know he emailed it to us to ensure we would not miss it and already had the links to all the different formats we might need. Then, less than another week later he surprised us again with all of our edited wedding photos! He got all the shots we asked for and more. They were stunning! And our wedding video captured all of the sweet moments of our day. When sending us the raw photos and videos, he again notified us and gave us all the tracking information. Lastly, they wanted to ensure we were completely satisfied and offered to make any adjustments to the editing of the videos and photos but it was not necessary because everything was already perfect. I highly recommend Pixiewed because they are extremely affordable, professional, great at communicating, and most of all talented! Thank you Pixiewed for capturing our day and giving us photos and videos to look back on for generations. read more

My wife and I were so blessed to have these guys as our team. Our videos and pictures were amazing and they did everything to make our wedding day perfect. They went over and above with every request we made. We highly recommend them. read more

We booked a family photo session and had a wonderful experience with Miguel. He was extremely easy to work with and very professional. He gave clear directions and worked well with our 3 little girls. We were able to take a variety of different shots despite the early sunset. We received our pictures very quickly and loved them! We highly recommend Vey Gallery for any photo needs. Thank you so much for capturing our family moments! read more

I have never met Melvin before our photo session but when we did, I felt like I just reunited with an old friend. Melvin is such a great guy. Very friendly, humble, yet very professional. He takes his works seriously. You can tell that he is very passionate about photography and respect his clients accordingly. He knows what he is doing at all time. His directions and instructions were well executed. He encouraged me when I started to loose focus. He complimented me when he captured good images even though he did all the works to make us look good. I would really recommend him to just about anyone who is looking for a photographer whether it's for weddings, pre-weddings, parties, concerts, etc. Try this guy and experience a top class service. At the end of the day, I felt like I just made a friend for life not just a one or two time photographer. That's a rare thing to happen in this world. Melvin is one of a kind. I am very please to have him, it's our honor to have our pictures taken by him. photo session: 04/27/2012 read more

Melvin was amazing during our engagement shoots and was even more amazing at our wedding! We have received all of our wedding photos already and I'm in love! Sooooo many photos looked like it was out of a magazine! I had my concerns about pictures taken in the dark (we had our ceremony at night) but Melvin made them look absolutely stunning! The night photos are actually my favorites too! I will forever book Melvin as our photographer! Thanks for everything! =) read more

There are so many incredible things I can say about Melvin, I don't know where to start! We met him at a bridal expo in Pasadena. After meeting so many different photographers we knew right away he was going to be our wedding photographer! Why? You could hear and see his passion! His work/portfolio spoke for itself! Another very important thing for us was compatibility and his understanding of what we were looking for.... right off the bat we knew he understood our wants and desires. We booked him right away! Taking engagement pictures can be kind of awkward but he made us feel so comfortable and brought the silly side out of my and my husband! It was a great experience! Melvin is a professional in every sense of the word and takes great pride in his artistry and it shows! Our wedding pictures are perfect! He truly has an eye for his surroundings and undertood us as his clients! He is an amazing professional and to top it off is a great person! Truly a great combo to have ... he left such a mark with us that we have recently contacted him to be our photographer (3years later) for our maternity pics and our little peanuts first baby pictures! We are so excited and can't wait! I would recommend Melvin Photography everytime without hesitation! read more

I am not a personal client of Melvin's but I have gone on several Photo shoots with him. 2 years ago I saw him at a Wedding show and I was seriously astounded by his photos. I immediately struck up a conversation with this smooth criminal and wanted to learn from him. He took me on many of his Wedding and Engagement Photography shoots and even though I have been a Photographer now for about 2 years, I still cannot fathom producing the images he does. I can see that it truly is not about the equipment, but about the eye of the beholder. He has a unique vision that he can recreate with any camera- even an iPhone! The best quality of Melvin is that he really knows how to work with his subjects. He makes them feel super comfortable and teaches them how to bring out their inner and outer beauty. I think that's the most important because obviously- you want to look your best! You can be the best Photographer but if you don't know how to really bring out that natural essence, I don't think it matters when it comes to your own Wedding. If I can summarize, I must say- This guys is dope!! Go with him for your Wedding! It's worth it! I'm telling you he's going to be my Wedding Photographer mwahahaha!! read more

Melvin is the MAN! His humble personality, creativity, and energy is amazing! We discovered Melvin at The Queen Mary bridal show and from then on we have been fortunate enough to have him as our engagement and wedding photographer. On the wedding day, he met up with me and my groomsmen to take pre wedding shots at The Hotel Fullerton. He came early and took great shots at the hotel room, in the lobby, and outside in the parking lot. All of the guys appreciated his down to earth personality and his guidance with each snapshot. Then he went to the venue and did the same for my bride and the bridesmaids. He had them posing in a way where it was natural and not forced. It definitely shows in the pictures. They came out beautiful! To be honest, I was a little worried about having just one photog and not getting all the moments, but he came through for us. One of the wedding guests referred to him as a "ninja." One second he was taking a picture of us in the courtyard and the next he was up on the second floor taking a top view. Wow! He worked his MAGIC like he said he would during the reception. He was everywhere and even went above and beyond by taking table pics and wedding guest group pics because we asked. We can't thank him enough for capturing all the special moments of our day. To top it all off, he finished editing the wedding images earlier then expected and put together a wedding photo montage as an added bonus. Seriously?? Can he be anymore great?! Melvin is such a storyteller that I was able to relive the day and feel our love coming through with the images. Thanks Melvin for everything! We truly enjoyed your company and having you as our photographer. read more

We had our engagement photoshoot with Melvin Gilbert of Vey Gallery last week, and we were so impressed! First off, he was so accommodating - we had wanted to shoot at a certain location for its sentimental value, but when we arrived, to our surprise there was a busy farmer's market going on that would've ruined all the pictures! Embarrassed that we had chosen and were pretty adamant about this location, Melvin didn't stress at all he already had 2 locations in mind for backup that had the same feel that we were going for and reassured us that no time was wasted. During the photoshoot itself, he was so on top of things. You can tell that this is his passion, and that he puts a lot of time in to perfect his craft - he's professional and efficient yet fun and charismatic. His directions were hilarious and quirky but easy to follow. He made the whole process so incredibly natural and comfortable for us. It truly felt like we were laughing and just hanging out all day long. We had such a great experience and are completely in love with the photos. Thank you Melvin, for capturing our love and sense of humor, we can't wait to have you shoot our wedding day! Joseph and Kristin read more

Had an awesome engagement shoot with Melvin Gilbert on July 30th! My fiancé and I are not picture people, we rarely take regular pictures let alone professional ones. Working with Melvin was so easy and effortless. Not only is he very professional but he is super funny as well, this made the process enjoyable! He made us feel comfortable during the entire process. He listened to our ideas as well as provided us with great suggestions for locations, styling, and how to pose for pictures. Melvin went above and beyond for us and we are truly grateful!

"Wait Wait... I need to get the perfect picture of the bride and groom dipping in the middle of the ballroom"..... One of the best talented photographers I have ever worked with. I worked with Melvin on a wedding and as a wedding planner of 10 years I have seen many different photographers at work. Not only did he deliver phenomenal pictures, his sense of character and calmness on the day of the event is what made it all the more reasons to work with him again. #theventbar read more

Melvin is amazing! We didn't know him when we scheduled our engagement photo session but he made us feel very comfortable during the shoot. He was funny, posed us and gave us tips, told us what to do, and the pictures were beautiful. He has a really great eye for positioning you in certain ways, noticing certain angles, and really has a way of capturing the beauty of the surroundings and appreciating the buildings/backgrounds resulting in great pictures. Plus he's really quick (I'm amazed we got some really beautiful shots in less than an hour), doesn't make you do the same poses over and over, and really has a talented eye. Everything turned out better than we could've expected and I would not hesitate to hire Melvin for any photography needs. Thank you Melvin! read more

We were lucky to have a photographer like Melvin! He added his magic touch to our photos and captured all of our beautiful moments!

His turn around time in getting us the photos was super quick! (Like less than a week!) read more

Melvin was referred to me through a friend who had him shoot their wedding. We needed a photographer for our wedding and my fiance and I wanted someone we meshed well with. We had already talked and met with a couple photographers, but wasn't too impressed with their personality and work. Then we met Melvin! Thank goodness for that referral... He is awesome... funny and great to work with. He makes everyone feel at ease and is good for a few laughs. But most importantly, he knows how to direct to get amazing results! He's a joy to work with and I can't recommend him enough. Super talented photographer. Thanks again, Melvin! read more
