Oak and Avenue Photography

Mel is such a fun person to be around and makes you feel comfortable being in front of the camera! We did engagement photos and she shot our wedding and I could not be happier with what I’ve seen so far from the wedding sneak peaks! She goes above and beyond to get the perfect shot and pays such close attention to the little details which meant a lot! For example, she was constantly fixing and fluffing my dress and picking all the little bugs out of my dress through out the day AND during our engagement session she balanced precariously on some railings to get the right angle of us sitting by some stairs. She also made sure to angle us so that the shot was flattering and was so willing to take any extra pictures we asked for! We will 100% recommend getting Mel to capture some memories for our loved ones looking for a photographer!

Mel is an amazing photographer! She keeps the whole experience comfortable and fun. She is very approachable and easy to work with. I would 10/10 always recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

Mel is a JOY to work with! She was so accommodating with rescheduling our engagement shoot multiple times to ensure we had the perfect weather for our photos - she truly cares about her customers! She took the time to get to know our personalities and our vision, providing invaluable feedback to make sure the wedding package we chose met our needs. She's professional, responsive, fun and focuses on making you feel at ease throughout the process! Take a look at her portfolio to see the amazing work she does - she truly captures the love and beauty of those she photographs.

If you are looking for a photographer, look no further. Melody is the BEST! She is so fun, down to earth, creative, kind, considerate, organized, patient, talented and knowledgeable. She is a professional at what she does and has fun doing it! Her shots are absolutely stunning and capture the true nature of the people she works with. She really gets to know you and she makes it shine through your photos. She has a gift in seeing the perfect shots in potential areas and setups.We cannot thank her enough for the wonderful experience throughout the entire process of planning our wedding & day of, and the amazing support/communication throughout the past year. I promise you, Mel will be there every step of the way and will help you make the most of your day. I probably asked her a million questions; asking for her expertise and opinions on the ideas I had and she was so generous to provide her thoughts and answers as she has so much experience behind her. She was also in on my pranks that I pulled on my husband during our engagement shoot and garter toss lol. I am just so grateful we connected.She helped keep structure and guided us throughout the day, despite any unseen issues out of our control. She was quick to think of solutions and ideas to make the most out of the time that we had. Always prepared. Mel is worth every penny and more! I cannot thank her enough for everything over the past year. Not only will you gain photos of the special memories captured that day, you will also gain a friend. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Melody!

Mel was absolutely amazing as our photographer for both our engagement shoot and wedding day! She made us feel comfortable working with her right away, using music and humour to put us at ease. We loved working with her and appreciated her clear directions, yet light approach to capturing our special moments. Her attention to detail in preparing for the photos, and capturing the perfect shots, is outstanding! Highly recommend Mel! We feel so fortunate to have found her for our wedding.

So easy and comfortable to work with and was able to get some stunning shots of my sisters engagement and wedding. Made us feel so beautiful and had lots of ideas for unique and flattering poses. Would definitely recommend using Oak and Avenue for any event or moment you would like to capture; every photo they provide is worth framing!

We could not be happier with our experience with Mel!From prompt first contact, to the planning of the travel engagement session, to the client guide for tips- Mel has this process down to a science! Mel is the ultimate hype-gal, never knew you needed her friend when it comes to planning your wedding shoot! Mel visited our property before hand to scout locations and answer all of our questions! Mel has an eye for details and thoughtful gifts along the way! Mel's photography is natural, genuine and real life! Mel's editing style is simple but with the pops of color in the most important places! Mel answered all phone calls, texts and instagram messages at any time of the day! We cannot wait to see the rest of our wedding photo gallery but are already speechless! We are so lucky to have worked with such a professional and have gained such a lovely friend! Thank you Mel! <3

Mel is an amazing photographer! She is not only INSANELY talented, but she makes you feel extremely comfortable. Mel captured our engagement photos - which we loved - and she recently did our wedding gallery! She exceeded all of our expectations (twice) and I hope we can book her for future life events! Mel is the sweetest, and she listens to your vision as well as giving her own expert opinion. We would highly recommend her over and over again!

They say a picture is worth a thousand words and truly I am speechless with how beautiful these pictures turned out!. We were so lucky to have had a session with Mel, she makes being in front of a camera very comfortable and even natural. It really shows in the final product. Mel captured every moment and now we get to relive that day and feel our love in such a beautiful way! I cannot recommend Mel enough! You really are an amazing photographer and a wonderful person! Thank you Mel!- Steph&Nick
