Ben R. Sent on 02/14/2021Amazing experience!
I honestly cannot express how amazing Mel was. I had originally planned a surprise proposal with Shoebox to take photos. We had an amazing plan laid out and then Covid-19 hit. They were fantastic at creating a whole new local plan, including location scouting and area set up. At the shoot Mel was incredible, it was so easy going, comfortable, relaxed and an absolute joy. She captured the moment so perfectly, we both couldn't have been happier. Thank you guys so much!!

BEST Photographers of all time.
Mel and Rob were fabulous from the day we hired them to the day they sent out our pictures! During the lead up to the wedding they even gave us recommendations for hotels as we were unfamiliar with the area! Once we met the day of the wedding they were so relaxed and calm it took away my photo jitters as we are NOT used to being in front of the camera! Mel helped us pose and gave us all the direction we needed! They are both so friendly and welcoming all our guests loved having them around. And the pictures they delivered were just SHOW STOPPING so gorgeous! Even the pictures of the venues and flowers are stunning they didn't miss anything! I have so many pictures of my loved ones now and we all look like models the lighting is perfect the angles are perfect its all perfection! I cannot recommend them enough!! If you are thinking about hiring them do yourself a favor and DO IT. -

Mel and Rob were so much fun and great to work with! From our first email, they were quick to respond and very informative. The day of the wedding they were great at capturing everything and fit right in with our family and friends. They are amazing at getting all the right shots but not being in the way. They were also extremely helpful in creating the days timeline and showing us what to expect. They are the sweetest couple as well! The day after the wedding, we did a romance session and my husband and I may have showed up still a wee bit hungover (oops). On top of meeting us at our hotel to pick us up, Mel and Rob were amazing and even bought us bottles of water (thanks again) to help us.
Additionally, we received the photos in a timely manner and they were AMAZING! We have gotten so many compliments on them and the quality of their work is unmatched. I can not recommend them enough. Thank you Mel and Rob! -

There are so many things I could list on why we loved having Mel and Rob document our wedding. They both are such a joy to be around and I’m so glad we choose them. I particularly loved the way they edited their photos which is what drew me in when I first discovered them on Instagram. Then after our Skype call I knew we were going to hire them bc you could just tell they really care and are genuinely awesome people. Spending our day with them was an absolute pleasure they were fun, professional, and organized in all the best ways. Our photos are absolutely stunning and we couldn’t be happier. -

Two different counties, major contracts, the responsibility of capturing once in a life time kind of photos. I wasn’t once worried. Rob and Mel’s work speaks for itself, but what you can’t see from social media post is the process of working with them. We began chatting, and before we put the deposit down we FaceTimed. It was incredibly natural, they are the most friendly, outgoing couple who made this whole experience, effortless. Every email we sent was answered minutes after pressing send. Questions that don’t regard my photos, like should my groomsmen wear shoes and where can my husband get a haircut, was happily answered. Unexpectedly expecting, and seven months pregnant I was extremely self conscious. Thankful for Mel & Rob making sure they got all the right angles, and for being super considerate the entire time. They are artists, professionals, and they definitely define couple goals! -

Punts Cana Wedding, Jellyfish
My Husband and I always knew that when we got married, it would be a Destination wedding. So after waiting 10 years for him to finally propose, I already had my wedding planned. The only thing my particular Venue didnt provide was a photographer. With the help of social media I took to instagram and Facebook and immediately fell in love with Melinda and Robs style of photography. And after booking them for our engagement photos while we were on vacation a year before our wedding we fell in love with their personalities.
Our wedding photos are so beautiful and Melinda and Rob captured every moment of the day/night that was important to us. I CANNOT give these guys enough credit on how they were able to direct a "slightly" drunk and very hot group of people and capture such amazing shots.
One moment that stuck out that day was when we tried to bussel my dress. It was a complicated bussel that my bridesmaids couldnt figure out and I turn around and Melinda was on the ground busseling my dress for me! I wouldnt expect that from my photographer but shes just that amazing.
The only problem you will have with them is trying to figure out which pictures your going to print to frame because they are all so good!! Thanks again guys! -

Best decision I've made!
What a dream team...seriously! Rob and Mel are a total package and I can't thank them enough for capturing the most beautiful pictures on our wedding day that will last a lifetime. When I started researching different vendors in Punta Cana, I was very selective and I'm glad I came upon them...worth every penny! Their presence was way more than I can describe into words, but you will not regret your decision I promise. Super genuine human beings and just flowed with our family and vibe. They captured moments I don't even remember taking and as most brides would say...the day goes by so fast that it's very important to make sure those moments are captured so you can relive them over and over again. Going through my gallery was an accurate display of our timeline throughout the day and that's what we had hoped for. We will forever have Shoebox Photography in our hearts forever and ever...XOXO -

It is hard to even find words to describe how absolutely perfect our entire wedding day was - and Rob & Mel from Shoebox were a HUGE part of that!! My husband & I knew we wanted a small, intimate wedding on a tropical beach somewhere... and that was it. With that in mind I started my research, which consisted mostly of Pinterest browsing & googling "Best Destination Wedding Venues", and one day I came across a photo gallery of a wedding at Jellyfish Restaurant in Punta Cana. I fell in love. Not only with the venue, but with every. single. picture. in the gallery. The entire day was captured so well, every detail was perfect & the lighting had me in awe. Right then & there I knew that was the spot, and that I wanted Shoebox to be our wedding photographer.
From the very first email with Mel I knew I had made the right decision. Her & Rob were both so welcoming and we instantly felt comfortable with them, as if we had known them for years. Our wedding day was PERFECT. There is no other way to describe it. We didn't even feel as though we were having our picture taken, but when we look through the photos it takes us right back to that day. They capture moments that you don't see while they are happening. They capture details that you don't even notice. Their photos had our entire family in tears as we re-lived that day for the first time. They are not just photos, but memories that we get to cherish forever... and for that, we are forever grateful. And... just like that gallery I stumbled upon, we love EVERY. SINGLE. PICTURE.
We could not have picked a better photographer for our big day - the amount of creativity & talent they have flowing through them is incredible, and it shows!! THANK YOU Rob & Mel, for not only the best experience, but for making me a Jellyfish bride - I can't imagine it any other way. ❤︎ -

I highly recommend this couple to photograph your wedding needs. We got married 5/26/18 in Punta Cana and everything we booked was sight unseen, including the photographers. We couldn’t have been more pleased with Mel and Rob. We, as a couple, do not love taking photos and were happy that their style included a lot of candid shots. They made us feel very comfortable the entire time and we had some fun and very beautiful shots. I can’t say enough wonderful things about them. Their communication was prompt and they made everything flow seamlessly. You’d be a fool not to book them. -

Mel and Rob were wonderful to work with. From the start, they were calm and helped out where they could. To us, they did not only feel like photographers we hired but also friends. They gave great pointers on how to pose and did not make us feel nervous at all! They were part of the reason why our day ended up to be so amazing. I am so glad to have found them through my research for a destination wedding. The photographs that we got back were awesome, we love them so much. Highly recommend :).
