I didn't receive the final pictures until September 15. I reached out several times asking for updates and was completely ignored. The lack of communication and professionalism was unacceptable. I would never recommend her to anyone do yourself a favor save yourself the stress and go somewhere else.

I took maternity photos, the shoot went well. I expected more options for what I paid. Once the…read moreshoot was done she promised me she would have my photos back in enough time to display them at my baby shower. She wrote the day down that I needed them by and told me to text her a day before to remind her. When I texted her I heard nothing back from her. She ignored me for several days then responded saying her "computer broke" and she was waiting for a new one. Her computer breaking had nothing to do with her phone and texting me back. If her computer really broke I feel like she would have said that when I initially texted her. Anywho, she then texted me stating I could pick out 3 backdrops to add to my photos free of charge because she didn't get my photos back to me on time. I sent her the backdrops I wanted with the pictures I wanted them on and still have not heard from her. This was over two moths ago! She is kind of unprofessional in my opinion for the price she charges. If you want someone honest with good quality and communication, I would recommend going elsewhere. My photos were just okay, I've had better, but wanted to give someone new a chance. She was also late to the studio for the session. I don't recommend this photographer.

Makenzie's reviews and photos impressed us, so we decided to purchase a mini shoot. Since it was scheduled for 15 minutes, I was anxious about the amount of quality photos we'd get. Makenzie wasted no time. Amiable and professional, she made us feel at ease, directed us on how to pose, and snapped all combinations of our family members (myself, my wife, our baby, and our German Shepherd)-all within 15 minutes! We are elated with our family photos, and she even recommended a helpful site to shop for holiday cards. We're looking forward to working with you in the future, Makenzie. Excellent work!

Even before the wedding, her questions and input helped me get an idea of what the day would look like. She also helped me feel comfortable and gave great cues for posing etc., which was so helpful as I'm sometimes uncomfortable taking photos. Her team was amazing too! They + Melissa were all the best hype girls and made me feel confident and beautiful. The phone footage they took of the day as extra content was so special to have too! She is the sweetest and we're so thankful she was our photographer!

I posted this review on The Knot but being a Yelper, had to share it on here too! :)…read more I cannot say anything but AMAZING things about Melissa Brannon Photography. I met Melissa through my friends that also had her photograph their weddings. When I saw the quality of her photos, I knew immediately that I wanted her for my future wedding. I also did my medical school graduation photos with her and I'm so happy I did! The photos came out amazing. Years later, I met the man of my dreams, got engaged, and found myself excited to plan my wedding. I knew Melissa was going to be one of my first vendor phone calls. From the beginning, she was professional and easy to communicate with. Initially, my fiance and I opted out of the engagement photos part of the package because we had wonderful proposal photos taken by family but we ended up changing our mind and adding it into the package. She allowed us to do so without an issue. We are so glad we did! We weren't sure where to do the photos and she ended up giving us wonderful recommendations. We LOVE our engagement photos. Throughout the wedding process, we felt very taken care of by Melissa. She had us answer questions so she could determine what was important to us and what parts of the wedding was especially important to capture. She was also able to answer all our questions as well. She is extremely experienced. The day of was a dream. Melissa was able to take all the poses, images, and group photos that we wanted for our big day. She captured everything perfectly and I had so many compliments from my family in regards to her professionalism and vibe. She and her team brought such a positive energy to our wedding and I cannot thank her enough. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Melissa for wedding day photography! Book her!

She was still able to capture beautiful pictures outdoors and make sure I was safe and comfortable. I was also able to have her take family photos which I was nervous about because I have a very energetic two year old and a sometimes fussy 11 month old, but she was patient and creative with my little ones and still able to get great photos of our family despite a few baby tears and a toddler trying to escape every moment! You can tell she loves what she does, puts a lot of time and effort into her business, and cares about her clients, I highly recommend her! Thank you Janaye!
