We cannot say enough about our experience with Melanie of Melanie Ruth Photography. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she is not only incredibly skilled at her craft but also a genuinely wonderful person. We quickly became friends, and we are truly grateful for the connection we formed alongside the stunning photos she captured.

Melanie’s friendly demeanor and great energy made a significant impact on our wedding day. Her outstanding communication skills kept everything running smoothly, and she managed the photography aspect of our wedding with exceptional professionalism. We knew the photos were going to be incredible even before we saw them.

Her organizational skills, attention to detail, and caring nature were evident throughout the entire process. Melanie brought a level of calm confidence and positivity that made our day feel incredibly fun and stress-free. The result was not just beautiful photos that we will cherish forever, but a joyful experience that we’ll always look back on with gratitude.

If you’re searching for a photographer who is not only talented but also a true delight to work with, we wholeheartedly recommend Melanie. She is the perfect blend of competence and warmth, and we couldn’t be happier with the memories she captured for us.



"Where to begin... My husband and I chose Melanie to photograph our wedding weekend after hearing rave reviews from a friend of mine."

We had countless zoom meetings to prepare where Melanie calmed our nerves and made us laugh.
 Next came our engagement shoot which was such a special time. She truly became our friend.


 On our special weekend Melanie and her team were there every step of the way. She was not only our photographer but also took on roles of mapping out all the good photo spots, planning, directing and ensuring everyone remained calm. When capturing moments she has the cutest little one liners/questions to ensure she gets natural poses. Her guidance is 10/10.

The pictures we received were absolutely INCREDIBLE! She photographed every special moment and her editing skills are top notch. She is incredibly professional and artistic in how she captures moments. We cannot recommend her enough.

We love you Mel!!! <3"



"From the first moment we connected with Melanie, she was professional, thoughtful, and so much fun. She helped us think through every detail of the day and she was game for all the adventurous or unusual ideas we threw her way.  She helped us bring to life a wedding day that was unique to us and felt exactly as special as we could have hoped for.

Throughout the day, she somehow managed to always be in exactly the right place to capture invaluable moments between us and our families. Because we decided to have an intimate wedding, we were prioritizing quality time with each other and our immediate families over everything else, and Melanie’s photos reflect that. The photos she created are bursting with genuine emotion and joy. They capture exactly how we felt on our wedding day and so many beautiful details..."
