What People Are Saying
Melanie is a true ARTIST with the best eye I’ve ever experienced! Her portfolio, reviews, past work, and unique style are the key reasons I hired her for my wedding day. However, her professionalism, VISION, quick-thinking, personality, and sense of humor are why I’m writing this review. Couldn’t have made a better choice than going with my gut to choose Melanie at Lily & Grey. I will trust no other! You’d be wise to chose her as your photographer - whatever the need may be!

Melanie is super talented. We were referred by a friend who was in a bridal party of a wedding she shot. She met with me to make sure before hiring her that our expectations were clear and so she could give us the best service. She did our engagement photos and honestly we loved them. She also provided us great references for vendors we were looking for still for our big day . Her communication is awesome and she’s so sweet. We can’t wait for our wedding.
I just wanted to update my review of Melanie she shot our wedding and the pictures are amazing she was so much fun! She gave us breaks so we could mingle but kept us on schedule. Melanie has been amazing and we can’t wait for her to capture more of our life together.

Absolutely could not recommend Lily & Grey Photo Co more! Melanie was professional, experienced, helpful, and personable. Taking our engagement and wedding photos with her was like hanging out with a good friend who just happened to be a great photographer. And the photos turned out better than we could have ever imagined. Couldn’t be happier with our choice of photographer!
