LOVE LOVE LOVED the nostalgic, emotional, funny, amazing DVD that Melissa put together for us for Dad’s 70th celebration. We laughed and we cried, at the many years of memories she so professionally blended, with his favourite music, into a seamless compilation. It completely made the night and such a wonderful surprise for Dad who watched it over and over the following day.
Thanks Melissa so much for putting the ‘’icing on the cake” on such an auspicious occasion which was enjoyed and valued by us all!
My Mother was approaching her 70th birthday, so I asked her what she wanted as a gift. I asked her to think big, anything she wanted….her answer, was that at 70 years old, material things no longer seem important. She said that the greatest gift we could give her was family time!
As a family, we came up with the perfect gift - a video of Mums life, from her childhood, right through to the grandchildren who are such a big part of her life. The photos were set to music and the result absolutely overwhelmed us as we all sat down together and watched it. Happy tears flowed.
I cannot recommend Melissa enough - she managed to capture the essence of my mothers life, and it could not have made her any happier!
Melissa made us feel very much at our ease throughout the day - The photos were exactly as we hoped for - very natural and showed the laughter and love throughout the day. We love the black and white shots with the touch of colour - they were just amazing ! We all loved the movie but my dad has had the most fun showing it to all our friends and family in Scotland who feel they have been able to share our special day ! Thanks so much Melissa everything was just perfect.

Melissa did a stunning job putting together a dvd for our kindy families and with the money we raised from the dvd sales we were able to purchase a wardrobe of fireman costumes.

Melissa demonstrates a talent not only to capture wonderful photographs but to manipulate them and collate them in such a way, set to a unique soundtrack that the result really becomes a piece of art and a keepsake for years to come.
