Melissa Ferrara Photography

Melissa came as a recommendation and did not disappoint. She was super accommodating from the start, outgoing, easy to talk about ideas with and very open to collaboration. She is extremely mindful of her communication timing, follow-ups and making sure everything was ready to go for our big day. We had a tragic event occur during the planning stages and she was beyond thoughtful on allowing space while keeping everything on track. When we received the photos it was like reliving the day all over again. She captured the energy, emotion and excitement from all angles! We would ABSOLUTELY recommend Melissa for any event that you need a kind, passionate, professional and caring photographer for.

My fiancé hired Melissa to photograph our surprise engagement and party, and she captured the day perfectly! She memorialized the love and excitement of the event so well, and got the sweetest candids of everyone at the party. I will forever cherish the photos!

Melissa came with glowing recommendations from a friend of my wife and I, and we're so happy to have engaged Melissa's services! She outdid our expectations, and the photos turned out beyond what we expected. Throughout the entire time, from pre-booking interview until photos were delivered after our wedding, Melissa has been punctual, communicative, and very organized. It was a pleasure working with her, and she managed to take the stress out of that portion during our wedding day, making it that much less hectic, for which we're truly grateful!

My husband and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Melissa and her assistant Floyd! Starting with the planning process, Melissa was very responsive and helpful in answering any questions I had. That’s the thing about Melissa and Floyd; you can tell right away that they are good, kind people that you would want to be your friends. My husband and I didn’t realize that we would spend more time with Melissa and Floyd than we did our own friends and family on our wedding day, and honestly you could not ask for two better people to shadow you for the day. Both Melissa and Floyd made us feel so comfortable helped direct us in a way that felt natural and carefree. One look at Melissa’s portfolio and you can see her eye for capturing beauty and making it seem as if it came from a high fashion magazine. So many portfolios I looked at had photos that I dub “background photos when you buy a picture frame”. I wanted our photos to have life and not just take a picture but capture and create a moment. When I found Melissa, I could see the warmth in her photos; it almost felt like the photos were transcending the camera and freezing the moment in time. I cannot wait to see the moments that Melissa and Floyd captured of our special day, and I would encourage and recommend Melissa to anyone for their photography needs.

Melissa was awesome to work with! She helped us feel so comfortable from our engagement session to our wedding day itself, it was exactly what we envisioned and it was all a dream. She handled all the ins and outs and let us just enjoy ourselves. We recommend her 100%!
