Please tell us a little more about your business. 

"Forever Images by Melissa Ann, LLC began in July of 2014. From there, God has blossomed my business into all that it is today. I give Him all the Glory!! He planted a seed of passion for photography in my heart shortly after we had lost our firstborn son. The photos we have of him are all that we have left to hold onto. God gave me this beautiful gift and it's such a blessing to have and share with others. Delivering images to last forever for my clients and provide an experience like no other is such a rewarding feeling. I have attended numerous workshops, conferences and webinars investing in my educational training and knowledge to be able to provide nothing but the best for my clients."

What sets you apart from others? Why should a bride choose you? 

"We are all about the overall experience with our brides. We want your entire experience with us to be structurally stress-free and beyond enjoyable. That's what you can expect from our brand of photography...nothing less than amazing and everything that is extraordinary! I've created a collection of wedding packages to best fit the needs of my clients. All Forever Images wedding day packages include pre-wedding consultation, a custom itinerary, complimentary engagement session, two professional wedding day photographers, custom editing, private online gallery, digital files and a wooden flash drive. We fully understand a lot goes into the planning and preparation of your wedding day, and you can trust the consistency of our work and the images you see and know that each bride will receive the same loving attention to create something special just for them."

What inspires you as a photographer?

"As a wedding photographer, there are moments in time that we are beyond blessed to be a part of. After the moments have passed, we have our memories to hold tight to those beautiful moments we desire to forever cherish. Knowing that I can have a tiny part of that moment and bottle it up into a portrait for you to forever cherish is amazing. Not much else can compare to the feeling I feel when I deliver those images, those moments, those amazing, never forgetting memories, to my brides."

 

What do you love most about photographing weddings?

"ALL the feels!! The emotive nature that exudes from my brides on their wedding day makes me fall in love with photography all over again. The moment she sees her wedding gown perfectly hung, that look she has in the mirror as she has the full reality 'It's my wedding day!', the excitement and showering of love and pampering the bridesmaids give to their bestie, the bride seeing her dad for the first time, the one she has admired and looked up to and dreamed about walking down the aisle with since she was a little girl, the bride walking down the aisle...that first look...GOODNESS just GRAB me a Kleenex already!! The moments I cherish most with my brides and grooms are during the sunset collection portraits. At sunset, the hustle and bustle of the day and the timeline and the 'to-do's' are behind us and it's just us and them paired with the gorgeous golden glow of the sunset falling. There is no big rush to accomplish the next task. The only task in that moment is them. All the feels, all the love, all the romance that is pouring from their eyes looking into the other...my passion is to capture it all and celebrate the beautiful blessings God has so graciously given to us."
