Melanie is such a gem and such a special person and SO talented. Not only does she take beautiful photos (I mean, have you seen her portfolio/website? STUNNING), but our whole experience with her was so fun that it felt like we were just hanging out with a friend with amazing photography skills as a bonus. Our guests also told us numerous times how professional and yet also down to earth Melanie is. Plus, she has a fun way of getting any of your kiddos to smile :) She also somehow has a sneaky way of getting all the great shots without being smack dab right in front of you when you're mingling with the guests/dancing, allowing you to enjoy the moment and make you not feel like you're always posing for the camera. We can't thank her enough on how much she played such an important part leading up to our special day and day of. Highly Highly recommend Under the Redwoods Photography!!

We couldn't have had a better experience with Melanie as our wedding photographer. I interviewed several photographers before chatting with Melanie, and I knew as soon as we chatted that she was the one for us. My husband hates taking pictures, but I knew that Melanie's approach in getting know us through our engagement session and lighthearted nature would out us at ease. Melanie captured absolutely stunning pictures of our big day and we couldn't be more grateful to have them too look back on to remember all of the big and small moments.

I love Melanie she got me in touch with our officiant Meredith. Melanie helped us plan our elopement with finding my officiant, deciding in the location and took beautiful photos. She was willing to hike to our location. 3hrs of photography and we got almost 400 photos. We would highly recommend her.
