“From the very beginning, Meliyah was the sweetest and made us feel very comfortable."
"My now husband and I had very little experience “modeling” or being in front of the camera but Meliyah did so well explaining different poses, and made us laugh while doing so. She did both our engagement photos and micro wedding. She went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and ready for our big day, whether it be vision calls or going to the venue to pick out spots for pictures. We are SO amazed with her work..."

“We would work with Meliyah again in a heartbeat!”
"Our experience working with Meliyah was perfect. She was caring, understanding and has a real eye to capture the magic of a wedding day. We would work with Meliyah again in a heart beat! She really captured the romanticism of marriage in Vegas! The photos came out exactly as we'd hoped and more.”
