About Melissa McKean Photography

Melissa McKean Photography

Wedding, Lifestyle, and Portraiture Photographer

Enthusiastic. Curious. Empathetic. A bit of a rule breaker (for a great shot, of course!). Definitely a people person, but with a deep appreciation for life in all forms. Always craving authenticity, and embracing and teaching self-love. All this, to help others seek out the best version of themselves. I want to help the most genuine YOU, shine through an experience that adds memorable value to your life.

While I do stay behind the scenes some, to capture intimate, pure, quiet moments, I like to have FUN! I want to get personal, interact with you, and learn all about your story and what you value in life. I'll be throwing out some dad jokes and making besties with your wedding party, but you can also find me laying in some weird way on the ground or climbing up onto something to get a crazy cool shots. I thrive when I can have the freedom to capture your day in a unique way, special to YOU. I'm a huge advocate for loving all that life has to offer and I want to give you a memorable experience that will stay with you forever.

Description

This package works well for those who want a variety of images that represent the day overall. Typically, there is plenty of time to get the tail end of getting ready, including putting on the dress, through most reception events. The time can be flexible, shifting from more time at the beginning or more time at the end, depending on your preferences and where you would like more focus. All packages are completely customizable, so totally fine to upgrade to 7 hours or go down to 5.

This package is for those who would love to have the highlights of their day captured, but don’t necessarily prefer to have as much coverage getting ready or the reception. We can be flexible with how we plan out the timeline, shifting focus as needed, with the bulk of the time centered around the ceremony and portraits.

Honestly, I just want a stress free day for you so you can fully enjoy it! We will plan as much as possible ahead of time, but be open to the reality that surprises often happen and have a backup plan - I’m a pro at shifting plans on the spot to accommodate as needed. Wedding days are so fun and energizing for me, but I’m also easy going. I like a balance of staying back to embrace the intimate, quiet moments, and being right in the mix to get the most genuine laughs and action shots. I stay active and personable and always have your back (so also kind of like your personal assistant and bestie for the day ha!).
YES! Everything is 100% completely customizable and what you see listed is really just a standard go-to or starting point. But we can absolutely talk through more details and if something doesn’t work for you or you’d like to do it differently, I’m confident we can find something to better fit what you are looking for.
As soon as possible! Because photography is not my primary career (more my passion!), sometimes I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule and sometimes I am booked tight. It’s always best to get your date on my books as soon as you are able to lock you in.
There’s no charge for the greater Columbus or central Ohio area; otherwise a standard per mileage rate would apply. If you’re interested in a destination wedding or further travel outside Ohio, let’s chat more and I can generate a quote.
Yes, I can absolutely help you with print services. However, you will receive printing rights included with your services so you are not obligated to purchase through me. I will also give you some suggestions if you prefer to print on your own, so you still get quality with good prices.
A 30% non-refundable retainer is due at the time of booking to secure your date and make it official.
After the initial retainer is paid, there is a lot of flexibility in when you choose to pay. The balance is due one month prior to the wedding date. Some clients pay in full up front, some pay at the 30 day mark, and some request to do a payment plan. I can work with just about any method you choose!
I will always give you some teasers and sneak peeks to hold you over; the waiting game can be so hard, I know! But the editing process does take time. That’s where the long hours happen (and lots of coffee and good music vibes!). This can take anywhere from 4 to 12 weeks, depending on how long your day was and where you fall in peak season. But I promise it’s all for good reason. So much care, effort, and attention to detail makes all the patience worth the wait.
