Melissa and Jared were a pleasure to work with! They selected Lake Minnewanka as the location for our engagement photos which had a variety of different settings and unique scenery. They were both easy to work with providing just the right amount of guidance and encouragement along the way. Following our session, we received our photos in less than a week! The angles and lighting are exceptional and the entire package of photos turned out better than we could've hoped for. We would recommend them to any couple or family looking for unique and rich photos!

Bride and/or groom reading this, congratulations, you’ve found your photographer! If your experience has been anything like ours, meticulously scouring through endless photography options, you’ll appreciate our story. After an extensive search we met with a few potentials and finally found Melissa and Jared – after our first meeting we thought to ourselves, if only we had found them in the first place! While it’s undeniable how exceptional their photography is, one of our favorite aspects of the entire experience was the personality and enthusiasm they brought to the table. Any fears we had about being awkward in front of the camera were alleviated within minutes of our engagement session. Their sense of humor and positive direction made all the difference! Melissa and Jared photographed our wedding at Cherry Creek Estate on an intense +36°c day that included an unexpected wind storm and swarms of mosquitoes. Not once did they complain! They remained calm, professional, and attentive from start to finish. In addition to this they came a day prior and thoroughly scouted the property to ensure we hit up the best locations. In terms of the final product, we can’t even begin to count how many compliments we received on our engagement and wedding photos. We know we will receive compliments for years to come as their style is timeless! Their attention to detail, creativeness, and sense for adventure provided us with formal photos that were natural and an array of candid moments throughout the day that we will cherish forever. Melissa and Jared, THANK YOU for being incredible people with an unparalleled passion for your profession, we are extremely grateful for all that you did for us!

Working with Melissa and Jared was a great experience and they make you feel very comfortable. You can tell they have been doing this for a while as they are very knowledgeable in what they do.

My husband and I were definitely nervous to be photographed, and we were worried about our photos being too staged, or forced. With Melissa and Jared, we felt comfortable and at ease. They are both so down to earth, kind, creative and hilarious. The two of them together, play off of one another to perfect each shot. They themselves are such an awesome couple, and they were able to capture what I believe to be a true reflection of us as a couple in all our photographs. They were willing to try anything we suggested, and were quick to suggest amazing ideas that turned out beautifully. On our wedding day, they had the perfect balance of presence and stealth. They were awesome at keeping our family photos on track, which is not an easy task due to the size of our family. We were able to enjoy the day fully, and there was absolutely no stress related to photography. Melissa and Jared were truly one of the highlights of our wedding experience. Starting with the engagement shoot, and through to the reception, we had so much fun working with them, and made some friends in the process! We would recommend Melissa Rae Photography to anyone looking for engagement/wedding photography. Sarah and Fraser Duncan
