Testimonials
I am so grateful for the families and couples that have their sessions with Melissa Scargall Photography. Meeting so many new friends along this amazing journey has left me speechless from where I started. Wouldn't be able to do this job with out my loving and supporting family and most of all my clients. I appreciate the time you take out of your day to make me feel how truly worth it is for me your words always make my day!

Wow! Melissa was just absolutely amazing and brilliant. I was so nervous going into the session and she made us feel so comfortable and confident. I could not recommend Honey Bees Photography and Melissa enough! Extremely ecstatic over all of our photos. Love!

Melissa did such an amazing job and has so much talent! Going in we were super nervous because my fiancé and I have never had pictures taken professionally of us and Melissa made us feel so comfortable and did an such an awesome job! She will definitely be our go to person when we need photos taken again!

Melissa was phenomenal! She was on call for 2.5 days waiting for the call that my little man was on his way, drove through a severe thunderstorm in the middle of the night, and waited over an hour of me pushing to get the most spectacular photos of my son being delivered. The level of commitment to her clients is off the charts!
Thank you Melissa for your hard work in preserving the best moments of my life

We had started by choosing Melissa as our photographer for our engagement photos, we had fallen in love with the results and decided to book her for our wedding as well. As a bride I feel that your photographer is the most important role in the big day! There are so many factors to considering in the person you hire. Do they allow enough time to still have you mingling? Are they giving enough direction to yourself and your bridal party? Myself and my husband were naturally nervous for this process. I can’t stress enough that Melissa went above and beyond to check off every box of nerves you would have as a bride!
Melissa from the start of hiring communicated with me frequently about any ideas we had, and always answered very quickly. She arrived early to the venue to gather shots of the beautiful property and the setting up process. While getting ready she divided time up for both parties perfectly and still had extra time to play around and do fun pictures before our ceremony. Not only was she punctual and efficient on time, but her and husband were both very caring and easy going during the process. At one point they could tell I was just simply hungry and went and got food for myself to help calm some nerves. ABOVE AND BEYOND! I can’t express enough how fun and light the experience was, to have a photographer who involved the bridal party in a fun way to keep everyone engaged and focused was such an amazing experience.
If you are ever thinking of hiring Melissa for your big day I promise you won’t be disappointed! My husband and myself are still overwhelmed with emotion from how happy we are with how things turned out!

Melissa did a great job taking pictures of my kids! She was so patient, kind, fun and made them feel so comfortable. She was so easy going and go with the flow which I loved! (Embraced the chaos of a 3 year old and a newborn ) I just got my album back today and couldn’t be happier with how they all came out! I will recommend her up and down to every one I know! I can’t wait for all our future sessions! Thank you so much

Mel was so great during our family photos. We have 4 little kids and she was so patient and easy going. She was able to get some great shots which is not easy with the littles. Highly recommend
The Dynes
We absolutely loved working with Melissa on our fall photoshoot last year. It was our first big photoshoot with our 2 month old at the time, and Melissa was a pro at making us feel comfortable and confident. She was also so understanding when our daughter was not cooperating and was on the fly creative on how to still get gorgeous shots! She was super accommodating on allowing us to change outfits and get as many pictures in numerous scenic areas to provide a wide variety of pictures for us to choose from! Melissa is a joy to work with and would love to work with her again!
Alyssa Aggas

Melissa is the best of the best at what she does. Starting with communication from the very start, you know exactly what you’re going to be getting from her for your event. What they say is true, your wedding day goes by within the blink of an eye, but with Melissa capturing every single special detail & moment, we have a montage of beautiful photos to cherish for a lifetime I can not recommend her services enough. We will continue to use her talent for all of life’s special milestones ahead. Thank you so much Melissa
Melissa is the best!!! I have loved every single picture we have gotten back, I don’t know how I’m going to pick what to hang in my house & for save the dates! She’s so personable and made this picture experience so fun!! Definitely recommend getting your pictures done by her
Melissa is detail oriented and always captures my family perfectly. From maternity, boudoir, newborn, cake smash, milk bath and
family sessions she has ROCKED them all. You can't put a price on the pictures she takes because they are all amazing. Her turn around time on getting your shoots back is super quick! 15/10 recommend
Melissa has done a couple shoots for us so far & will continue to be our go to photographer for all of our pictures! Not only are the pictures we get absolutely amazing, she is absolutely amazing to work with! My husband hates taking pictures but she somehow manages to actually seem like he’s enjoying our shoot! The most amazing part is all the sneak peaks and how fast her turnaround time is!
Melissa did an amazing job on mine and my fiancé's engagement photos. She made us feel comfortable and was very helpful/knowledgeable when trying to find locations and props! We loved getting sneak peaks of our photos on social media the day of! We would recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced photographer. We cannot wait for future sessions!
Melissa is an amazing photographer and person. I have a crazy 3 year old and she handled and captured him perfectly!! She did an amazing job on our family session. She helped us pick a perfect location and she captured our true love through our family! We will definitely be using her a lot in the future!!
For a couple who is very awkward at taking photos, Melissa Scargall put us right at ease and made the whole process very painless. The photos turned out great and we couldn't be happier!
Melissa made us feel comfortable during our first family photo session right from the jump! She was so patient with us— she made us feel as if we were hanging out at home with a friend, not a hired photographer. She really captured some of the sweetest memories we will cherish forever! Grateful for Melissa!
We plan to call her for any future photo events.

I cannot say enough good things about Melissa! A few years ago I reached out to her to take some boudoir photos of myself and even though she had never done them before she did INCREDIBLE! Ever since we have developed a great friendship and she has continued to capture some of my family’s greatest milestones. From my son’s yearly photos, to my maternity photos and newborn photos, to even photographing my fiancé proposing to me and throwing me a surprise party. We are so thankful to have such a kind, professional, and talented friend to capture some of life’s most precious moments for us. Highly recommend her for any and all of your photography needs!
Muna and Daniel
Finding Melissa to do our photos has been such a blessing. She is good at what she does and works that camera like no one I have ever worked with. I usually feel unsure of myself, awkward and uncomfortable during shoots but with Melissa she brought about a sense of ease and took some beautiful photos of my fiance and I. I could not choose which ones I liked more. I showed the photos to everyone in my family until they were tired of me bragging about my angles LOL. I would recommend her a thousand times over. She truly is excellent at what she does. I know we will be working together for more sessions to come.
Tracie Cooley

Melissa came to our home and made US feel welcomed! She’s a people person through and through and worked great with our not-so-willing toddler. She captured the essence of our family and we will cherish the photographs forever. I look forward to working with her in the future!

Jezak Family
Not only is Melissa family, she’s also a great photographer as well. She is super accommodating during these crazy times. For our newborn session she came to our home. She has done our wedding, maternity and newborn photos. She has a quick turn around and doesn’t over edit images. We will continue to use her for all of our portrait needs.
We love her!
