04: crafting your custom experience

step 05 of 06

Day of wedding we come in with our detailed plan, artfully directing for the best lighting, most beautiful spaces, best angles- to create the most aesthetically beautiful and flattering images. Our approach to posing: getting the classic portraits that we deem necessary for all, while taking more of a director’s approach for images that evoke genuine feelings, that feel candid in nature, for images that are alive and full of life. Our years of experience aids us greatly in the event that timeline does not go as planned.

and it is time to celebrate

05: it's your wedding day!!

step 06 of 06

We deliver previews from your day within a week, and your final gallery in 6-10 following that. We ensure every image is given the utmost care, and meticulously craft each to appear as the piece of artwork they are. If investing in an heirloom album, initial design is reviewed in your online gallery, where all your images live, and design includes 3 rounds of revisions, so we perfect it to your dreams!

so you can relive your wedding day over and over again

Cinematic Wedding Films That tell your Captivating Love Story

Believe it or not, we weren't sure we would hire a videographer for our wedding. We decided that we could never get those moments back, and that preserving memories was more valuable than money. 

We are so thankful every day for making that investment! Hearing the audio from your day is unlike anything else that can transport you back to those moments and emotions.

WHY VIDEO IS SO IMPORTANT

"When I say they are the dream team, I TRULY mean that! They captured the most perfect moments and went with the flow! Looking through the photos, my husband and I can remember every moment of our wedding. Don't event get me started on our video! We cried when we watched it! I can't recommend Melissa and Thomas enough!

Their work was absolutely incredible and I knew I wanted them to capture my wedding.

We are so thankful we hired Melissa and her team for our Wedding Day.

 She made everyone feel so comfortable and captured every moment of our special day. Melissa is the absolute sweetest and was so accommodating and extremely responsive leading up to the day and truly made our happiness a priority. We received over 1000 photos back in our gallery and are so in love with every single one!! We would recommend her to any one looking for a wedding photographer and hope to work with her again in the future!

- The Hagers

I wasn't totally sold on a videographer overall for our wedding until I came across Melissa's business and had an intro call with her! 

Now, I can't image the wedding planning process without her in it. She's a kind, thorough, and talented creative professional, and the videography we received was an incredible, dynamic memory for us. All the footage has helped us remember all the little moments that would've been otherwise forgotten in the craziness of the day. Working with her and her team ended up being one of the best vendor experiences of our entire wedding.

- Mary C.

Melissa and Thomas were everything my husband and I could have ever asked for as far as wedding photographer & videographer.

Even though Melissa is in Savannah, she traveled to Richmond, VA (for a very reasonable price) to capture our special day. I knew that from the first talk that her and I had that she would capture our wedding day so perfectly (AND THEY EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS!!!)
