This duo planned their Brookstone Event Center NH wedding from afar. The bride is from NH, she was born and raised here! She moved to NC 4 years ago for a job as an ER nurse right of college. Erica met Alex via match.com a little over a year after being in NC. (I love internet dating success stories!) Alex is born and raised in NC. (Which is uncommon of people you meet in NC, EVERYONE is usually a transplant!) He manages a gym and the both of them love working out together!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Melissa! AH-MAZING! She responded quickly to all my messages (email, facebook, etc.) and kept me at ease. Melissa knew I was stressed planning a wedding in NH from another state and she helped me with anything she could.
I chose her based recommendation from a friend and based off her website, which is fabulous. Her blog and her website let me see her personality and style which was totally what I was looking for. After chatting with her a little via emails and social media we booked my wedding! She gets to know you as a couple via a questionnaire which I thought was very smart. I was nervous never having met her in person, but when I finally got to meet her when I went to NH, she was very sweet!
Day of came and she was very organized. We had nailed down details about a month ahead of time via her worksheet she has you fill out as far as photography of family members you want, so when the day came she gathered everyone and called out the line ups and we got them done in a timely manner, but was not rushed, was just organized which I loved.
Not only that, during the getting ready in the bridal suite, when my dress literally BROKE (a clasp broke on the back when closing me in the dress, she was ready with needle and thread and sewed me into my dress. Like…WHAT?! BEST photographer ever! Not only needle and thread, she had safety pins which she used to pin the bridesmaids dresses, and a whole slew of things in her bag! Dang! She literally saved the day!
Her package options are great, and competitive. We didn’t add a second photographer to our package but she can handle the job on her own. My pictures were done about a month after the wedding and I am in LOVE with them. She didn’t miss a beat. She is phenomenal. I HIGHLY recommend!!
