We had so many lovely couples enter into our Engagement Session Giveaway drawing at the Bridal Show last Saturday. Actually, the number was 411 to be exact. We thank each and every one of you for taking the time to stop in and say hello, tell us a bit about your wedding and fill out one of our little cards. In the end I decided to give away two engagement session because well… it was fate really. As I was pulling out one of the cards another came along with it. Lucky thing you ladies were using those address labels!
Congratulations to Devan Keller & John Hyland and Jacob & Kyrsten (The Bowens)! I’m looking forward to both these sessions! Yay!
We’ve had some people asking us about the video that was playing on the screen at our Bridal Show booth on Saturday. With all the hubbub of the Phoenix Convention Center, it was hard to hear the audio.
It’s actually a short film (a little over 8 minutes) by Hemet Productions, featuring Melissa’s life and work, part of an artist profile series showing artists doing their thing. Melissa’s film lets you see her working at weddings and portrait sessions, explains some of the process, and gives a context to her photos that I think is just really great.
People who have already used Melissa as their photographer, please share this video! It’s a great way to brag about your good taste! For those who are just exploring, check this out and share it if you like it. It may be the best way to let you see who you’ll be hiring and why!

This year I will have a booth at The Bridal Fashion Debut in Phoenix! I’m very excited about this and have been diligently building my booth (you’re going to love it). I just received 4 tickets to give away! The first four brides to send me a private message via Facebook or send me an email asking for a ticket shall be the happy recipients of this exciting gift! Not only is the bridal show amazing… You’ll get to see in person the amazingness of my booth design You have to send me a photo of your engagement ring to qualify (which is just a sneaky way for me to admire pretty jewelry).
Welcome to the new website for Melissa Wright Photography! Between weddings, portraits and commercial shoots, Melissa has been really busy providing images to lots of different kinds of clients, and this fresh new design will allow us to showcase them properly. Plus, it’s awesome to look at!
The photo above is of Melissa and I, working on wedding images a few weeks ago at the kitchen table / workstation / meeting area / wine-and-animated-conversation corner. You’ll be seeing some more of this process in a few weeks. Meantime, I just wanted to say welcome to the site, show you the new blog area and encourage you to hit up Melissa Wright Photography on Facebook by clicking HERE if you haven’t already!
Check out the homepage too and have a look through those galleries – all kinds of new stuff there from some of Melissa’s 150+ weddings over the past 10 years! – most of those images get sent directly to the clients but we share a small portion here on the site to give you guys ideas and inspire you. Plus, again, they’re just great to look at!
