Melissa Hardin Photography

I am so grateful that Melissa was my wedding photographer! She is so knowledgeable and experienced, she totally knows what she is doing. She arrived early on the day of the wedding and was very prompt and professional.The photo booth she has, is so worth it. I under estimated how cool it was, but all our guest are still coming up to me saying how much fun they had with it. 2 copies of their photos were printed instantly, one for them to keep and one for me and the groom to go through later. There were sure some funny ones. That provided a great memory for us, and a fun experience for our guest while they were there. During our group photos, I kept thanking Melissa for how she handled everything. If you've ever been a part of family photos at a wedding, you know how chaotic it can be. Melissa was so good at directing every single person. She corrected poses and postures, was great at getting groups in and out of the pictures quick. And she was thorough and made sure every possible family photo was taken. It was such a relief to have an experienced photographer for this part. I have been a part of wedding pictures where the photographer didn't know what poses should be done, and it was a mess.Melissa made that part of the wedding fun, organized, and quick! We were all able to go enjoy the wedding on time after that. During our solo bride and groom poses, she got so many creative shots, and once again helped us pose the entire time. She was in all the right spots during all the events, and was working hard the entire night. I got a few sneak peaks of my wedding the next day, and her pictures were so beautiful.I am so grateful Melissa was my wedding photographer!! I will be back to her for family portraits, holiday pictures, and more! More...

I booked Melissa for my wedding on a short notice! And I'm so glad I did. Melissa showed up on time and was very professional I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off! Melissa asked my a few questions about what I wanted as far as certain photo shots and I told her I don't know just work your magic! And she did just that! Melissa is amazing! She kept me on schedule along with my aunt since I didn't hire a wedding coordinator! I booked Melissa for 5 hours and I loved that she kept me updated through out my wedding on how much time I had left with her! She worked well around my all over the place wedding party. Melissa has a wonderful personality and big heart. If I had to do it again I'd choose her 1000 times over! Thank you Melissa for working with me and my vendors you are fucking Amazing! More...

Melissa captured our recent May wedding and we loved working with her! I was actually the lucky winner of a free wedding photography package contest that she ran through Facebook. It was a godsend for our stressed budget and was able to add on a few hours, so we could have her the whole day. We weren't expecting rain that late in May and were a little stressed since our venue was entirely outdoors, but Melissa still made the day easy and fun. She worked closely with our coordinators and DJ/Emcee to keep the crazy day flowing which was awesome, and she managed our whacky, happily tipsy family and friends like a pro! We haven't seen our full album yet but she sent and posted a few sneak peeks that we absolutely love, so am confident we will have wonderful moments captured throughout our day. Thank you again Melissa for being a rockstar! More...

Melissa was amazing with my not-so-little family! We are a family of 9. We have 7 kids ranging in ages from 8months to 15years. She was patient, genuinely listened when they had ideas & even explained very well why some of them wouldn't work. She even got photos with every single person looking! This was my first time working with Melissa but I'll definitely be booking her again for another her session. More...
