Melissa was professional and easy to work with. She was flexible and understanding when the weather wouldn't cooperate (it was a very rainy spring!). She was able to see my vision and help get the mommy and me photo shoot that I wanted! I will definitely be using her again in the future for photo shoots! I will be, without a doubt, recommending her to others!!! Thanks again! -Emily Yeatman

Kind words from kind folk...

Melissa is phenomenal at her craft. My husband and I had an intimate, informal, small wedding. We initially decided not to have a photographer because we tend to be camera shy. That being said, Melissa was able to capture our true selves, our dynamic, and the day beautifully- She has a gift of telling a story through her photography- So much so, that those who were not present felt as though they were. You can literally feel the love and atmosphere in her work. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and communication, were top notch. Melissa has a marvelous eye for shots that aren't just good, but PERFECT! -Brianna Doolen

Melissa was referred by a friend, so before having our engagement pictures we did not meet her. She was great before we met with asking questions about us to have a better idea on our personalities and interests. When we had our engagement pictures done Melissa made us feel comfortable and very fun for us. The best part was receiving our pictures a week after our engagement shoot even though Melissa said 2-4 weeks. She did an amazing job and our pictures couldn’t be anymore perfect. We definitely plan on having Melissa as our wedding photographer! -Ashley Esbrandt

Melissa was so wonderful during our shoot. I have never had a photographer as great as her! If you’re looking for someone to photograph your family, engagement, big day etc.. I would 100% recommend her! -Denali Readinger

Melissa is extremely talented and organized. She arrived at our wedding destination early, kept everyone on track with time, remembered all the photos I wanted to get, and used her artistic vision to capture the beauty of the night. I'm so happy to have worked with Melissa. She truly made me feel beautiful on my wedding day! - Kayla Cantrell

Bliss did the wedding photos for my future sister-in-law. I was BLOWN AWAY. Every picture looked crafted to be the best. Normally in any wedding set there are a few pics that don't work or fall flat. Nope, 100% winners across the board. Some look like you can step into the picture the details and colors are so crisp. Go with Bliss you will never regret it! - William C. Pfaff

Let's Chat!

...And I do all this because I seriously LOVE you guys! It’s true! On our calls, I dive DEEP into who you are, what you love, and what SPARKS JOY in your life. This is so important to me because when I really know you, I have formed a connection with you and THAT connection is what transforms ordinary wedding photos into the pages of the story of your life….

Our lives are moving INCREASINGLY FASTER as we get older it seems; but if you’re like me, you strive to SLOW DOWN those little bits that mean so much…your first kiss, the first “I love you” from your partner, the vows they promised you on your wedding day, putting together a crib for the first time, meeting your newborn child, and a million more. These little moments in time create a HUGE impact on our lives and it’s important that we tell that story. These photographs are those stories. These photographs have actually made your fleeting moments tangible, so that you can re-live them and share them with your children and their children. 

I’ll be your favorite third wheel, your MAIN hype girl, and the one who always makes you look good!

I Promise...

 To make you feel SUPER comfortable in front of the camera
To create
a fun, engaging environment!
(Trust me, you won't want the photo session to end!)
  To let you know when your mascara is running from all those happy tears.

To help every step of the way with your wedding day timeline
To make you feel the MOST beautiful and handsome you've ever felt in your life!
