Reviews of Melissa Lauren Photography (Photo Studio)

Erin Powers

My boyfriend and I recently had the opportunity to do a couples photoshoot with Melissa and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was extremely attentive to my messages prior to our session and made the shoot so comfortable and fun. She allowed me to include my dog in the photos and captured our relationship perfectly with no awkward poses or fake smiles. She provided the finished images within days and they exceeded every expectation! Melissa is truly an outstanding photographer and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to have professional photos done!

Melissa is so fun! She fills the session with movement and action, you forget your photo is being taken because you're just having fun. All our photos turned out so playful with only real smiles. Definitely recommend her for natural, candid photos.

Melissa was AMAZING and her photos turned out incredible. We were both very nervous about getting photos done for the first time and she made it feel natural and fun. My partner also messaged her behind the scenes to propose! She is a part of our story now, and I'm so glad she was there to capture such an incredible moment. Highly highly recommend!

Melissa is absolutely amazing! We have experienced multiple couples sessions with other photographers over the past years, but Melissa has been by far our favourite photographer to work with! Her attention to detail and making you feel at ease is done in such a fun effortlessly way you will feel so close to her right away! And get ready to have your mind blown when you receive your gallery. Our photo gallery left us in tears, and in such awe. We could literally feel all our emotions throughout all our photos. If you're a couple seeking to have all your warm and fuzzy feelings captured, look no further! Mellisa is your photographer!

Melissa is a very talented individual. She was very personable and made my fiancé and I feel very comfortable while doing our engagement photos. Melissa knew when to tell us to pose and when to just let us be silly and have fun with the photos. She is someone that you can tell your vision to and she will capture that moment for you. I am so happy with how the photos turned out and her editing is flawless. I had so much fun working with Melissa and we will definitely be returning customers. You can really tell that this is her passion. I would recommend Melissa to everyone that I know. Thank you so much for the amazing pictures Melissa!

words cannot even describe how perfect this experience was for both me and my boyfriend! working with melissa was like a dream come true, she would always respond to my messages so quickly! it was our first time working with her and it couldn't have gone anymore smoothly. not only did she have a comforting personality but she let us be us the entire time. there was not a second where we felt awkward. she was encouraging us and supporting us every step along the way! every-time we look at the photo's we cannot stop smiling, we couldn't be happier with the final results. she made is natural for us and the smiles prove it in each and every one of the photo's she took. will never be able to thank her enough for capturing such special moments and taking her time for getting the perfect shoots. will definitely be needing her skills again in the near future as the pictures she takes are keepsakes for life!!

I highly recommend Melissa! She did our engagement shoot and wedding photos and my husband and I couldn't be happier. Our wedding day was extremely hot and Melissa stayed engaged and professional throughout the whole day. I appreciate her ability to make you feel comfortable by keeping things light, fun and natural! Thanks again Melissa!

My boyfriend Taylor and I have had photos done by Melissa twice. Both times, she captured our sessions beautifully. Aside from her being incredibly patient and kind, she knew how to make us feel comfortable and at ease with every pose. Most importantly, Melissa captures real and genuine moments in every photo and when looking back at them, I can see and feel the emotions through every image. I recommend her for any style of shoot and know that when we need photos done, I will be contacting her!

We did a maternity shoot with Melissa and she was absolutely incredible. She made us feel so comfortable, laugh and just such a great time. We were smiling for most of it - thanks to her easy going personality! We got our sneak peeks and I am so impressed by her work! You have an incredible eye and understand that the sky is the limit for you!!

Emily Park

Melissa shot a skating photo shoot for my boyfriend and i. She came into the shoot knowledgeable about the best moving poses to get the most natural candid photos possible. She was very professional and made the both of us feel very comfortable while having fun at the same time. The pictures turned out amazing and we both love them! Definitely recommend and give both thumbs up! Will definitely make sure to use her in the future.

Seriously just take a look a my maternity photos and you will want to book with Melissa! She has an eye for what she does and does it with passion! We had booked an hr session with her and it flew by . She had all the poses ready with some in the moment pictures! She made us feel comfortable and always made us laugh. My husband who hates taking photos was impressed with Melissa work! I definitely recommend her and promise you, you won't be disappointed with her quaintly or style of capturing your special moments!

Gina Liu

We did a family photoshoot with Melissa and it was a blast! She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and was extremely professional yet personable. She also very organized. She provided previews "sneak peaks" of our session within a week and by the second week, we had the full portfolio. I know this is only the beginning. There will be many more sessions with Melissa for sure as more family members tag along! :)

Melissa is so easy to work with. My partner and I did a Christmas tree session with her and it was so much fun! We laughed the whole time and were so relaxed, and of course we LOVED the photos we received! 100% recommend Melissa to everyone in the area.

From our first online interaction to our recent engagement session, Melissa has been so easy to work with. She is responsive, flexible, professional and kind! We got the sneak peak of our engagement photos so quickly and they are absolutely AMAZING! We can’t wait to see the rest and to have her capture our wedding later this year. She is so genuine and this is evident in her photography style. Candid, genuine moments of love and laughter!

We hired Melissa to photograph our elopement in Jasper, AB this past April. I was nervous to meet our photographer for the first time on the day of our wedding but it felt like we knew her for years. She was genuinely kind, outgoing and made us so comfortable. She was willing to capture all of our ideas, but made sure to include her own creativity too. We are in love with our photos and would absolutely recommend Melissa to anyone seeking a photographer. ❤️

Sarah Cowen

Melissa was amazing!! My boyfriend and I got couple photos done and they turned out beautifully. She made us feel comfortable the entire time even my boyfriend who is extremely camera shy! :) 100% recommend.

Jillian Dunn

Melissa is more than a (talented) photographer. She is your hypewoman, best friend, designer, and crisis controller. She is hands down the best find and decision I made during my wedding process. I found her on Instagram, and since the very first phone call we had, she was so warm, so welcoming, and so responsive. Melissa is so comfortable and fun to be around, and made the entire process a blast. She was also so accommodating of our ever-changing plans thanks to Covid and my A-type personality. On top of all of this, she is an unbelievable photographer. She has an amazing eye and I’m constantly blown away by her work. We had her shoot our weekend wedding and she was there from Friday to Sunday and literally every single guest LOVED her. She was a joy to have around and just so happened to take stunning photos. 12/10 recommend Melissa and I can’t wait for an excuse to have another shoot with her again.

Melissa is amazing and her work left us speechless! She made our session fun & memorable! We are thrilled to have her as our photographer and can't wait for her to capture our wedding! We highly recommend Melissa!!!
