I hired Mel to do my surprise engagement photo shoot. He was kind, super easy to work with, and extremely good at communicating. He got many photos back to us really quickly, and did some pretty awesome editing. I had told him we wanted a lot of candid style photos, and he told us exactly what to do and the photos turned out awesome! 10/10 highly recommend Mel for any and all photography.
