About us

We are passionate about two things: LOVING PEOPLE and CAPTURING HISTORY. If those things resonate with you then we’re probably the right photographers for you. People + Moments = Importance.

I’m Melanie Reyes - the lead photographer and personally I'm a woman that loves life, loves my people and can make lemonade out of any lemons. I'm an eternal optimist. I love adventures, seeing new things, eating amazing food and seeing the world through those that really live and make a life there. I’ve been honored to have Deana alongside me for a decade already capturing the love stories and because of that we do it well and with excitement (you should hear us when we squeal about an exciting capture!)

Testimonials

Melanie was flexible, joyful and professional in her work. She tastefully captured our ceremony while somehow staying invisible, she was so easy to talk to about my preferences and the schedule of the day, and she has the knowledge and skills to take good shots. I am so thankful she shares her talent in photography with the world.

From the moment I met Melanie, I felt so comfortable with her. We had two consultations prior to the wedding day, and I felt like she just totally understood the pictures that I wanted her to capture throughout the day. She was so patient with an emotional bride and crazy bridal party! When I received my preview pictures just days after the wedding, I cried! They brought back all of the emotions I was feeling that day, and I know as I look back at the pictures throughout the years, those emotions that she captured will still remind me of the best day ever! I highly recommend Melanie Reyes Photography to anyone wanting a memorable, fun and fantastic day! Her expertise was invaluable!

I’m so grateful that Melanie was able to capture my wedding day. She was such a pleasure to work with and she had no problem rounding up my large family, kids included, for truly beautiful group photos. It was so nice to look through our photos after the wedding and see all the detail shots and lovely photos of our guests as well. She’s done headshots for my husband and also just recently came to our home to photograph our newborn/family. Melanie, thank you for capturing these beautiful moments for us! Can’t wait to work with you again soon!

“Melanie is the ultimate wedding photographer, keeping everyone calm and happy and SO organized while getting spectacular photos. She was so generous and kind, working with our budget, timeline, and was so sweet with my autistic family member. She’s amazing at keeping big families and boisterous bridal parties in check while making it fun. Thank you Melanie Reyes for working with me and making us all look so good!”
