THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING YOU DID FOR US AT OUR WEDDING.
You were an incredible source of guidance — not only on the wedding day, but throughout the moments leading up to it. Your expertise, calm presence, and artistry made such a difference.
Photography wasn’t something we initially planned to prioritize, and looking back, we now realize what a mistake that would have been. Even though we’re private people, you made us feel comfortable sharing those intimate moments, and trusting your eye gave us the most beautiful results.
Thank you for being there to preserve our memories. It truly means the world to us.
We are deeply grateful for the amazing job you did.
– Cran & Nick
Thank you so much for everything you did for us on our wedding day.
We hired Melda for our wedding in 2016, and even with our tight budget, she gave her very best. The photos turned out beautifully, and we were so grateful for her dedication.
Six years later, her work has grown even more — her photography has truly evolved. We’re happy to see her continue her passion for capturing meaningful memories. Melda is incredibly hardworking, passionate, and always goes above and beyond.
— Robelyn & Mark
MELDA IS A GIFTED, HEARTFELT, & INCREDIBLY PATIENT PHOTOGRAPHER.
Melda made our portrait session so easy and enjoyable from start to finish. Her calm, friendly presence instantly puts you at ease, and her natural eye for capturing genuine emotion truly sets her apart.
During the shoot, she guided us gently while still allowing authentic moments to unfold. When we received our photos, we were amazed — beautifully edited, timeless, and full of feeling.
We’re so grateful we chose Melda to capture our memories, and we highly recommend her for anyone looking for fine art–style portraits or professional coverage.
— Sandy Michelle Hernandez
Melda is an amazing photographer.
Melda captured our anniversary photos, and the images turned out absolutely beautiful. We felt comfortable with her right away — she’s incredibly kind, patient, and so easy to work with. Her artistic eye is fantastic, and she knew exactly how to guide us with poses, lighting, and angles that felt natural to us as a couple.
The session was relaxed and fun, and we were genuinely blown away by how well she brought out our connection in every photo. Her work is amazing, and we’re already excited to book more photoshoots with her in the future.
– Brii & Tanner
