Sweet words from beautiful brides

“We feel incredibly lucky to have come across Mel O’Connell and share our amazing engagement and wedding experience with her. Her creativity, responsiveness, flexibility, sense of fun, and INCREDIBLE talent have allowed us to have the most memorable, beautiful, candid photographs. Any time I post one online, or show one to a friend, all I hear is gushing: “That picture is just gorgeous! Your photographer is amazing! Those look straight out of a magazine!”

We cannot say enough what a pleasure it has been to work with Mel. If you are looking for photos that reflect your personality, that are full of life and character, and that preserve the joy and excitement of your wedding, there is no one better. The price was completely reasonable, but given the quality and breadth of the photos and the fun relationship we built with her, she totally undercharged!! Thank you Mel, for all you’ve done for us!” – Colorado Bride

“Melissa captured our wedding exactly how I imagined it. My family wanted a more traditional photographer however i had a good feeling about Melisss and she didn’t disappoint. She mixes both traditional posed wedding photos with candid and fun photos – so both the parents were happy as well as me and my man. She is friendly and relaxed and helped make our wedding day comfortable. It was like I had a friend capturing everyspecial moment of our day. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer for their special day! Thank you Melissa!” – Colorado Bride

We were so pleased with Fresh Photography! Melissa took beautiful images and was so easy to work with. We felt really comfortable having her around, it almost felt like she wasn’t there; I think that’s how she was able to capture such incredible, candid shots. Her style is really unique so if you’re looking for something just posed and more traditional, she might not be the person for you. But if you are looking for something naturally different and original, she does a wonderful job! We have received many compliments on our pictures!” – Portland Bride

“OMG!!!!! I LOVE them!!!! I can not thank you enough. I totally adore your work and style. You are not just a great photographer, you are also a wonderful person. You are genuine and sincere, I wish everyone was more like you, we need more people like you in this world. I feel so blessed to have had you there on my special day. I will recommend you to everyone I know!!!” – Colorado Bride

““Melissa takes amazing photographs as you can see from her website. Every single one of our wedding pictures could have been on the site. Our wedding ran late (as they all do) and Melissa stepped in and helped pull everything together. She was a constant help to keep me calm and focused on the fact that this was my wedding day. She was incredibly professional, fun, and even stayed late because we had not done all of the wedding ‘things’ yet. You would be so fortunate to have her photograph your wedding!” – LA Bride

‘Mike and I went to Arizona this weekend so we didn’t get the photos until after we got back. We love them!! Can’t wait to show them to our family and friends. Thank you for capturing our memories in such a beautiful light. You truly are an amazing talent and live up to your title of photo ninja! We had a great time with you and hope we were easy to work with. Thanks again for everything!!’ – Colorado Bride
