Eric and I are not the typical couple; we find most engagement and wedding photos to be posed and pretentious. During our engagement photo shoot, Melanie helped with our awkwardness and was able to capture beautiful natural shots. Even Eric who was anti-engagement photos loved the results and glad that we had these photos done. The wedding was at a beautiful winery in October. Everyone told me to soak in every minute because the day would go by fast. They were right, I blinked and the wedding was over. I felt like I missed a lot of the details of my wedding because Eric and I were so busy socializing with our guests who were all mostly from the west coast. After the wedding was over, we just wanted to go back to it. After only 2 weeks of editing, Melanie had the photos ready. After viewing the photos I realized that the photographer is possibly the most important person at a wedding. I cannot express how happy we are with all the photos. Because of Melanie, I not only get re-live my wedding but also see all the beautiful details I missed. Melanie captured EVERYTHING so BEAUTIFULLY. Every picture was full of genuine love and happiness. We are forever grateful for the gorgeous, talented work of Melanie. I have and will continue to recommend Ivy Rose Photography to anyone interested in family, engagement and wedding photos. Thank you Melanie for your beautiful work!!!

Melanie was incredible! We are so happy that we chose her to capture the most incredible and romantic moments in our lives. I would recommend her to anyone needing a photographer! She was so helpful, always returning my emails, answering MANY questions with kindness, and her amazing eye captured the joy of our precious occasion. I will use her services for ANY special occasion I want to have captured forever. She's fantastic!

Melanie took our engagement photos last weekend and I'm over the moon with what she delivered. Throughout our entire process, she has been super speedy in her email responses and she was incredibly helpful in suggesting locations. We're new in town so we really relied on her experience with San Antonio. Prior to our shoot, she requested some examples of what style I liked from Pinterest, which helped her understand what we were looking for. During our shoot, she worked to replicate what we shared with her. I think ours turned out better than what I found on Pinterest. Melanie also had great ideas about what to wear and mentioned she's working on documenting it so she can share that wisdom with couples in the future. It was beyond helpful since we've never done this before! Our session lasted an hour (with one outfit change) and we took the pictures at before sunset. Melanie is sweet and had good thoughts about what angles and backdrops to try. It was a lot of fun! But even more fun to see her photos. I thought we'd get a handful of good ones, but she gave us way more than that! We had so many great options to chose from, that we had a tough time making a final decision for our Save the Dates. Oh, and Melanie had our photos to us in about 7 business days which is a ridiculously fast turnaround, especially considering I know she was working with other couples at the same time. I don't know how she does it all, and so well! All in all, we had a great experience and are delighted with our outcome. Do yourself a favor and book Ivy Rose Photography.
