Wake Forest Portrait Shoppe

This was the first vendor we booked, a year out from our wedding date at the bridal expo. We booked them that day because we loved their personalities, the fact that we would get two photographers, and that we had rights to all the pictures. We also loved Melissa and Paul because they had experience shooting in our church, which has some strict rules about photography. The pictures are simply stunning and we will definitely be using them for future life events! They are a great couple and feel like friends when they spend the day shooting your wedding! They went above and beyond for us, capturing video footage of our wedding when our videographer didn't show. We are so grateful for having them as our photographers for our wedding day!

Melissa and Paul are AWESOME!!! I can not express my gratitude for them enough. Not only are their pictures amazing, they helped out any way possible. My MOH's dress got a hole in it the day of the wedding - Melisa was the only one who could sew and fixed the dress 10 minutes before our ceremony!! She was a life saver. Our wedding director did not make our guest book a priority, so Paul volunteered to remind our guests to sign in; if Paul had not been there, my husband and I would not have had a signed guest book! Our wedding day was rainy, so our original plan of outdoor pictures at a park did not work. Meslissa contacted a local Bed & Breakfast, that was extraordinary, to have our wedding day pictures there. Our pictures at the Bed & Breakfast could not have been more beautiful. These are just a few ways Melissa and Paul went out of their way to make our day special. They have been great to work with and will go out of their way to make the most of your day. Our guests commented the entire night how friendly they both were - my grandmother LOVED Melissa.I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND WAKE FOREST PORTRAIT SHOPPE. You can not go wrong with them!!!

Melissa and Paul are an amazing husband/wife photography team. They are professional, friendly, helpful, understanding, and their work is outstanding! The energy and creativity they bring on the day of your wedding is exceptional. You feel as if they are an old friend coming to hang out with you on your special day. They do whatever you like and get into the moment of each picture. Our wedding pictures are so beautiful and funny and we are so happy and grateful for choosing Melissa and Paul. Everyone also says how much happiness shows in our wedding pictures.

Going with Wake Forest Portrait Shoppe was one of the best decisions we made! They were professional and a joy to work with. And more importantly, the pictures are amazing! We've just gotten the online proofs back, and my husband, family and friends can't stop looking at them. They have an eye for detail and are super creative. You must book them!!!

Paul and Melissa are great photographers! I meet Melissa at a bridal show after having a hard time finding a great photographer at a reasonable price. I enjoyed working with them. They always worked around my schedule and their prices and packages are great! I would recommend them to anyone that is getting married.

Wake Forest Portrait Shoppe was amazing. They took wonderful photos, were fun to work with, and did a great job getting in place for the perfect shot. We received compliments from guests and family about how polite Melissa and Paul were. My wife and I would use them again in a heart beat for other photography needs.

Whenever I think about Wake Forest Portrait Shoppe- the first thing that comes to my head is AMAZING! The next things are wonderful, fantastic, excellent, professional and kind. We really enjoyed working with Melissa, Paul and Sean. Our guests kept commenting about what a great job they were doing. I love that they took a picture of every guest that was there. That is really special to have! They made sure to get all the shots we wanted and plenty of shots that we didn't even think of! They were not obtrusive like other photgraphers I have seen. You knew they were there- but they were never in the way. I would recommend Wake Forest Portrait Shoppe to EVERYONE! They are so friendly- you can't help but love working with them! Thank you Melissa, Paul and Sean- you truly made our wedding something we can remember forever!

Paul and Melissa are great at what they do! All my guests/family were so impressed by the two of them. They love what they do and are soooo good at what they do.

I wish there was a way that you could add more than 5 stars...from the flexibility of re-arranging bridal portraits due to weather to all the different angles both Paul and Melissa got during the ceremony and reception, we could not have made a better decision than choosing Wake Forest Portrait Shoppe as the photographers for our wedding. They are amazing!

Wonderful couple to work with. GREAT photos.......fun, relaxing experience. LOTS of compliments from guests at the wedding. I especially like the albums of 4x6 proofs provided.

Paul & Melissa were great & fun to work with!

I love Paul & Melissa! They were awesome to work with, & we fell in love with them & their work from the start!!

Melissa and Paul are a wonderful team that make you feel comfortable from the second you meet them. They are fun, hard working, and talented people that are definitely worth the money. We are so glad we hired them to capture our wedding day and we highly recommend them!

Melissa and Paul were awesome! We have so many great pictures. They were everywhere but at the same time not in the way at all! There are wonderful pictures of the bride and groom, wedding party, and guests. We were totally pleased with them and would not hesitate to recomment them to others. The wedding will stay alive because of the pictures they took for us.

Wake Forest Portrait Shoppe was awesome. They were very professional and responsive. Would definately recommend them to a friend! Our pictures are AMAZING!

Melissa and Paul were great! My husband and I met them at a bridal expo and knew that we wanted them just by talking to them. We loved the idea that Paul worked with the groomsmen and Melissa worked with the bridal party for the before pictures and then came together for the ceremony and reception. They were very flexible and willing to extend the package to accomodate our LONG day. Their package included rehersal photos, which was a great addition to our photo collection. They offered one of the cheapest packages, and had more services than other packages in their price range. My husband and I knew that we chose the right photographers when we were at our reception and kept pointing out things to eachother that we thought were memorable or funny and then look over and see Melissa or Paul already snapping shots of whatever caught our eyes. Our guests kept talking about how great our photographers were and how hard they worked the whole night. We loved them and you will too!

Melissa and Paul are great! They were always where we needed them to be while remaing unobtrusive. They were a lot of fun to work with and the pictures turned out amazing!

They were great! We love them!

Paul and Melissa are wonderful photographers! They were willing to accommodate any request we made. Our wedding and reception were very close to their studio, so in addition to fabulous outdoor shots and indoor shots of the ceremony and reception, we took some priceless group shots inside their studio about an hour before the ceremony!

Paul and Melissa are a wonderful team to work with. They were flexible from beginning to end, and met any request we made. Paul and Melissa are easy going,smart, and truly have an eye for what makes a good picture. They were very calming influences on our actual wedding day. They worked tirelessly to snap hundreds and hundreds of pics capturing our key moments while the wedding party was getting reading, throughout the ceremony and reception;at the same time, they were never "in the way". I love that they printed out each and every proof for us to keep while deciding which ones would make it into the wedding album. It took a little while for our album to be created, but the wait was bearable and we felt very satisfied with the results. My husband and I plan to return to Paul and Melissa for important photo needs in the future.
