“If you want pictures of your wedding, tell your guests to whip their phones out and take pictures. If you want professional photographs of your wedding, there are dozens of people with fancy equipment you could hire. If you want someone who is going to guide you through the real ins-and-outs of the wedding process, someone to warn of you of the potential pitfalls and make suggestions that will bring your day to life, and someone to help you craft a seamless timeline all while making you feel seen, heard, and calm during your special day, hire Melissa. The photographs of our engagement session and our wedding speak for themselves. They’re stunning, and we look forward to looking at them every day of our lives. What you are getting with Melissa goes well beyond someone to take photos. In our first consultation, she put it perfectly: she has been to far more weddings than you ever will. She is an expert, she knows what to expect, and she knows how to keep things moving. She really felt like a second event coordinator, and one who’s primary focus was our well-being. There was a moment during the wedding when things were getting a bit chaotic, and Melissa swooped in and brought us outside, not just to get some beautiful sunset photos but more so to give us a chance to catch our breath and be in a quiet space with each other. This would have been impressive enough on its own, but considering the fact that Melissa warned us that something like this may happen and that she would trust her instincts to know when we needed something we ourselves didn’t even know we needed demonstrates the level of care and professionalism you’ll receive when you hire Blooming Faith. Melissa and her shooting partner were a joy to work with, and we plan on working with Blooming Faith for many of our future milestones.”
