Cayman Islands Photographer :: Melissa Wolfe of Better Angle

Re-introducing  you to Melissa Wolfe of Better Angle! 

********************************************************

Meet Melissa!  Fun, down-to-earth, and ever creative, Melissa Wolfe of Better Angle.  Melissa has been shooting weddings for a while now and I am so happy to be able to introduce you to her!

Crystal Blue:  Melissa, describe your style to our readers.

Melissa:  I like to have fun with the couple and make sure to capture the sentimental moments, the details of the day as well as those unique candids with the guests.  Of course portraits are a must and need to capture the personality of the bride and groom.

Crystal Blue:   Especially for the portraits, since many couples are not used to getting photographed to the extent they are on their wedding day, how do you get them to relax and be themselves?

Melissa:  Well, it varies with each couple, but I’m relaxed and find it only takes a few minutes to get everyone relaxed and enjoying themselves getting photographed. 

Crystal Blue:  After shooting so many weddings, how do you keep things fresh and new?

Melissa:  Well, I can’t give away all of my trade secrets!  hahah!  I have new things up my sleeve everyday!  Recently, during Pirate’s week, I did a “Trash the Dress” session the day after the wedding.  I hired 10 pirates to join us for the shoot–they “stole” the bride and the groom triumphantly fought back to win back his lady!!

Crystal Blue:  That sounds like so much fun!!  What is the process you to through with each couple?

Melissa:  Again, it varies with each couple.  My only goal is to ensure my clients are 100% satisfied throughout the process and with the end product.  To me it is not good enough for someone to say “the photos are nice”.   I want my clients to be overjoyed with the photos and thrilled they chose me as their photographer! 

Crystal Blue:  Well, based on what I’ve seen, I’m sure they all are!!  If you could give one piece of advice to couples looking for a photographer, what would it be?

Melissa:  Make sure you hire someone with a good reputation for delivering amazing photos and has established experience shooting weddings.  Also, remember your photos are the one keepsake you have from your wedding day so have your photographer present for every moment, of course, as much as your budget allows.

Crystal Blue:  Thank you so much, Melissa!
