I'm not usually comfortable in front of a camera, but they really know how to make you feel at ease with their kindness and humor.

I highly recommend them for any of your photography needs!

I don't know if Eliseo rushed through my photos or what. He said they all had minor editing/retouching, but I don't think that's the case. All my photos (all 500-600 of them) have yellow/dark lighting and my photos have the backdrop cut off. Unfortunately, I can't use most of these photos because of the poor quality. When sharing the photos with multiple family members, all commented on the poor quality. It seemed to me that he didn't care about what he was giving me. Unfortunately, the photos look like a compilation of ones people took on their iPhones. I asked Eliseo if there was anything that could be done about the photos. Again, he didn't care to make it right. He told me the photos already had minor retouching. My intention and request was to work with Eliseo to improve my photos. The backdrops were already cut off and there was nothing that could be done about that. However, the lighting could have been modified to make them look less dark and yellow. When I conveyed this to Eliseo, I got a very nasty response back via text saying "I'm a 50x international award winning photographer and if you wanted something different it should have been brought to our attention... as far as professional it does not get any more professional than us thank you". I never in a million years expected this type of disrespectful response and it was very uncalled for. I also didn't know i had to tell a professional photographer to make sure they use good lighting and to not cut off the backdrop. I'm still very upset about everything that happened and again, he didn't even try to make it right. I spent $2,000 for one day photo and video and looking back, I wish I would have picked another photographer. What I will say though, if the lighting on my photos were adjusted and fixed, I would have been okay. The fact that he didn't care to do so and was extremely rude on top of it just left me very dissatisfied.

Even before the wedding, her questions and input helped me get an idea of what the day would look like. She also helped me feel comfortable and gave great cues for posing etc., which was so helpful as I'm sometimes uncomfortable taking photos. Her team was amazing too! They + Melissa were all the best hype girls and made me feel confident and beautiful. The phone footage they took of the day as extra content was so special to have too! She is the sweetest and we're so thankful she was our photographer!

I posted this review on The Knot but being a Yelper, had to share it on here too! :)…read more I cannot say anything but AMAZING things about Melissa Brannon Photography. I met Melissa through my friends that also had her photograph their weddings. When I saw the quality of her photos, I knew immediately that I wanted her for my future wedding. I also did my medical school graduation photos with her and I'm so happy I did! The photos came out amazing. Years later, I met the man of my dreams, got engaged, and found myself excited to plan my wedding. I knew Melissa was going to be one of my first vendor phone calls. From the beginning, she was professional and easy to communicate with. Initially, my fiance and I opted out of the engagement photos part of the package because we had wonderful proposal photos taken by family but we ended up changing our mind and adding it into the package. She allowed us to do so without an issue. We are so glad we did! We weren't sure where to do the photos and she ended up giving us wonderful recommendations. We LOVE our engagement photos. Throughout the wedding process, we felt very taken care of by Melissa. She had us answer questions so she could determine what was important to us and what parts of the wedding was especially important to capture. She was also able to answer all our questions as well. She is extremely experienced. The day of was a dream. Melissa was able to take all the poses, images, and group photos that we wanted for our big day. She captured everything perfectly and I had so many compliments from my family in regards to her professionalism and vibe. She and her team brought such a positive energy to our wedding and I cannot thank her enough. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Melissa for wedding day photography! Book her!

Not to mention our engagement and save the date shots. I've received so many compliments on my photos! I couldn't have been happier with her, her team and our end result. She's creative, artistic, friendly and she genuinely cares about your event. Since we started working with her, I've had 3 other friends hire her, and everyone says the same thing. I could never imagine using anyone else for anything. We've taken the next step and asked her to be our photographer for life.

Melissa was able to give me the simple, clean look I was going for and the airbrush lasted all day since we had it done that morning for our evening wedding. Melissa was also able to do a more intricate make up for my sis. She was very flexible and able to give my grandma a flawless look Likewise, Elsa was able to do 2 updos, waves for me, and my grandma's hair. My hair made it through a choreographed first dance that involved multiple spins and dips I am so glad we did a trial run for both make up and hair. It helped relieve stress and narrow down how I wanted my make up and hair. The beautiful life team also did an amazing job of collecting our inspiration looks and booking us with a team with more experience in the looks we all wanted. The only hiccup was a mistake on the schedule sent out a few days before the wedding. I seemed to have received another wedding group's schedule along with mine. In addition, my schedule had a different hair and make up team listed. I freaked out thinking we were not getting airbrush as we planned since Melissa was the only one that did airbrush at the time. This was corrected the next day after I reached out for confirmation. I would definately book this team again and I also get facials with Melissa every month
