Melissa Biador Photography

I’ve learned to always check out a photographer’s portfolio to make sure their work is good. If you check out Melissa’s work, you’ll see that her work speaks VOLUMES! She’s extremely talented, and has an artistic eye for her photo shoots. Most photographers out there are just average, meaning your uncle Tom could’ve captured those same images with a nice camera.
You’ll see that Melissa’s work is above par, and her work shows it. Her rates are also competitive, which I like.
We recently hired Melissa to do our family pics, and they turned out great! We had a great variety of different poses and backdrops. I’ll definitely be using Melissa again in the near future. Thanks Melissa!

Melissa is the best! I met her when she photographed my best friend’s wedding and knew I’d hire her for my San Diego wedding. She’s very laid backed and easy to work with which I appreciate. She is always professional and timely in her communication as well. I love the extra special touches she puts on things like her welcome mail and flash drive with all your photos at the end. She takes great pictures and makes you feel very comfortable in front of the camera for hours. I highly recommend Melissa!

Melissa is very professional & has a very warm, friendly, and down to earth personality. Taking professional pictures can be a little awkward but when she took my business card headshot photos she definitely made me feel comfortable. Melissa is always smiling!

I hired Melissa to do my assistants head shots. They came out great! She is extremely friendly, an absolute pleasure to work with and from start to finish delivers above and beyond service. I am extremely happy with Melissa’s product & services and hired her for an anniversary wedding in December. So excited! I know she will do a phenomenal jobs! Can’t wait… Wooooo!

I absolutely loved Melissa! She has an amazing eye, and I absolutely LOVE the pictures from my wedding day! My husband and I are both very camera shy, and hate getting our picture taken. Melissa made us both feel so comfortable, and the pictures look very natural and not at all posed. She has a fun and bubbly personality that made all our family and friends love her as well! Her pictures are crisp and timeless, and she captured the best moments of the day!

Melissa and her team were absolutely phenomenal! Even after having a great e-​sesh, I never envisioned having such wonderful wedding photos =] Melissa was affordable, personable and has an eye for capturing amazing moments. She has the cutest personal touches as well =] I couldn’t be happier with the service I received and would absolutely recommend her to future brides.

I have worked with Melissa on former projects/​photoshoots and just recently for personal photography. I recently hired her for product photography. I am working on updating my website with professional photos and love her clean and crisp style.
Melissa not only took photos of my product but also styled everything. She has a great eye for setting up the scene! I had brought a bunch of random props that she was able to use to make pictures of my product look even more spectacular! No instruction was needed, Melissa knew exactly what style I wanted to achieve and captured that!
Her turnaround time is awesome! I had all 600+ «edited» pictures in my dropbox in a week! I have never had such amazing service before! This is something she practices with all of her clients and all her projects. I worked on styled shoots with her for blog submission in the past, and all photos were completed seriously within a week or two! I believe a lot of photographers take at least 3 months.
Melissa is not only talented, but super sweet! She is very caring and concerned about the satisfaction of all of her clients! She definitely goes out of her way to make them feel special!
When it comes to quality, Melissa is the girl!

I have been so fortunate to be able to work with Melissa as both a client and a fellow vendor at weddings and events. She has a fabulous eye for photos and continues to surprise me with the beauty of her work.
As a wedding and event professional I work with so many established photographers and Melissa has always blown me away! I consider her an excellent asset at any event, she ensures that details are not overlooked. She has impeccable styling taste and has great ideas that are so useful behind the scenes and convey beautifully in her photos.
She is always able to bring out the brightness in people and show the true delight of the moment through her photos. I am so grateful to have the family photos and personal event photos she taken for me!
Not to mention, she has a glowing personality and is a delight to work with. Honestly, I love Melissa!

love melissa. so much so that we have hired her 4 times now. first for our engagement party, then engagement photos, then the big shebang of the wedding, and most recently to photograph our 1 year anniversary photos (yes, we are vein.)
She always does a great job at capturing intimate moments as well as taking beautiful magazine quality shots. Shes easy to work with, responsible, reasonably priced, and just fun. adore her. can’t wait til we dream up our next excuse to hire her again. Huge bang for your buck. Makes the entire process comfy and easy.

I am at a loss for words on how to describe how AMAZING Melissa & her team are!
My wedding was beautiful BUT it was in 120 degree heat in the middle of Palm Springs! Melissa not only kept us all (8 bridesmaids & 5 groomsmen plus the bride and groom) lively and motivated to get some amazing photos! She and her husband kept us on schedule (which my wedding planner bailed the day of and without Melissa’s schedule we would have been a mess!)
Not only did Melissa keep in contact throughout the months leading up to the wedding but she was so calm and understanding that any bride would feel a sense of relief when talking to Melissa!
I wish I was better at writing my true feelings down because I really LOVE Melissa and her work & I hope that comes across in this review!
PS I haven’t even seen all the wedding photos (My wedding was last week) and I know without a doubt my review for Melissa will not be any different when I see her amazing photos of our special day!

Thank you Melissa for making our wedding unforgettable!!! You truly made our day perfect and cannot thank you enough! Your attention to detail is unparalleled. You are one of those people that everyone loves, I must say. You just have something special that radiates and makes everyone around you happy too. Thank you a million!!!

I live in Los Angeles and hired her knowing she is out of our area, after randomly discovering her work via a wedding blog. My wedding is coming up in September and my fiancé and I got to meet her in person for our engagement shoot in Santa Monica recently. This was finally after exchanging countless emails, phone calls and a skype meeting, and let me just say, she made the experience so much better than we anticipated. The shoot was fun, comfortable and Melissa really listens to her clients. She welcomes every little comments, questions and concerns and delivers top notch quality service. And most importantly, she has an amazing talent and love for photography and her pricing is very reasonable. People say wedding planning can be very stressful and full of conflicts but vendors like Melissa Biador Photography proves them wrong. I’m glad I hired her as my wedding photographer! Can’t wait until our wedding :)
