About Melissa McLaughlin Photography

Melissa McLaughlin Photography

Head Photographer

HIiii!! I’m Melissa! I’m a Wedding & Boudoir Photographer based out of Asbury Park, though I’m originally from Florida. I’ve been in the wedding industry since 2017, and I’ve loved every minute of it. I am all about being your hype person, connecting with you and creating an authentic friendship that yields a great experience and amazing photos. I love to capture my couples naturally and authentically, while adding an artistic touch to our photos. I can’t wait to hear from you!!

I consistently stress the importance of making my clients feel comfortable in my presence. I know weddings are long days that require a lot of your emotional energy, and I am right by you to facilitate every step of the day. If you've ever had a fear that you are awkward or not photogenic, I'm here to prove you wrong. I make sure I capture quality candid moments, as well as posed photos that bring out the confidence and true happiness you feel on the day of your wedding!

    I can’t recommend Melissa enough! She photographed our engagement and wedding photos beautifully. She made sure to make us feel comfortable and understand the vibe we were going for and wanted for our day. She really cares to make the photos capture who you truly are as a couple as well. Us, our family, and friends can’t get over how great they came out!

    We cannot recommend Melissa and her partner Rebecca highly enough! From our very first phone call, it was clear that she was the photographer for us. Melissa's approach—encouraging us to interview each other to ensure a good fit—immediately set her apart. Her communication was exceptional throughout the entire process, always responsive and helpful. When we did our engagement shoot, she was phenomenal with our five-year-old son, showing him kindness and patience that truly impressed us, and that carried into our wedding. Our bridal party and parents were equally amazed by Melissa’s professionalism, warmth, and engaging personality. She and Rebecca made the photo-taking process not just easy but genuinely fun. They captured the entire vibe, aesthetic, love, and excitement of our day perfectly. We received a sneak peek of our photos within 48 hours, and their dedication was evident when they stayed an extra 40 minutes to ensure they got all the shots we wanted. To be completely honest, Melissa and Rebecca were hands-down one of the best vendors we hired—if not the best. They made our wedding day unforgettable, and we are so grateful for their exceptional work! Not only is Melissa a phenomenal photographer, but she is an equally phenomenal person. You will NOT be disappointed.

    From the first meet up to the tagging of photos in instagram- Melissa is the best. We went over the run down of who is in what photo groups and she very smoothly helped when there was a last minute change up!! It felt like we had known each other forever! Would 100% book again, hopefully she decides to add maternity shoots in the next couple years!
