В I’ve previously spoken about Melissa Arlena Photography we’ve appeared on her blog for an interview and guest blogging feature, we shared a space at the Stevenson Ridge Open House and most recently we collaborated with several amazing wedding pros for an Alice in Wonderland themed photo shoot.
Let’s meet Melissa -
В
В When did you start Melissa Arlena Photography?
I started my business during the summer of 2008, right after I got married.В Ironically I wanted nothing to do with photographing weddings though!!В I thought portraits would be more my speed.
What made you want to start your own business?
After 10 years in the IT field I wanted to be my own boss.В I wanted to do something that really interested me.В I started finding myself spending too much «work» time looking at photography sites.В I would rather take a photo cla*s then get the latest IT certification and that is when I knew I had to change something.В В
What is your favorite part about owning your own business?
Never being late to work in the mornings!!
What is your favorite session?
Engagements!В I love when couples incorporate something about themselves in their shoot.В I just did a session last month where we included the couple’s boat and finished the session with photos of them fishing because that is what they love to do together!
What gives you inspiration?
Film photographers like Jose Villa and Elizabeth Messina.В I am in love with their work and they make me think more and more about going back to my film roots!
What advice can you give to a current bride-to-be?
Don’t leave your wedding photos languishing on a disc in a drawer somewhere.В The traditional first anniversary gift is paper!It is a great time to have a wedding album created if you couldn’t afford one before the wedding.В I still remember looking through my parents wedding album every year on their anniversary!В В В
So I have loved working with Melissa and cannot wait to work with her again!Now head on over to her website, blog В (I got the 101 in 1001 day idea from her!) and fanpage!
xoxo, Ashley
