I
reached
out
to
Melika
to
help
out
with
a
proposal/engagement
shoot
during
our
trip
to
Seattle,
WA.
Process:
Originally,
my
plan
was
to
propose
to
my
fiancĂŠ
at
Snoqualmie
Falls.
Melika
headed
to
the
location
early
and
informed
us
that
we
wouldnât
be
able
to
make
it
to
the
falls
due
to
a
downed
power
line
blocking
the
road.
She
quickly
recommended
a
few
other
alternative
locations
that
were
not
too
far
from
our
position
and
had
a
similar
setting
we
were
looking
for.
Ultimately,
we
went
with
Kubota
Gardens.
During
the
shoot,
she
was
extremely
helpful
with
photo
location/scenery
selection,
our
positioning
for
the
photo
and
adjusting
the
surrounding
environment
(i.e.
if
there
are
people
in
the
background
etc.),
which
is
really
helpful
as
my
fiancĂŠ
and
I
are
not
good
at
posing
for
pictures
or
know
how
to
pose.
Results:
To
say
the
least,
I
was
extremely
impressed
with
Melikaâs
photography
skills.
Not
only
was
she
able
to
capture
the
moment
and
the
beautiful
scenery
we
were
in
but
she
was
very
diligent
with
exposure
and
aperture
adjustments
that
made
the
photos
turn
out
even
more
beautiful.
In
addition,
many
of
the
photos
were
just
plain
breathtaking
and
really
helped
us
capture
the
moment
and
create
memories
that
we
will
look
back
on
for
a
lifetime.
On
top
of
that,
her
turnaround
time
on
our
photos
was
quick!
I
was
expecting
about
a
week
or
so
but
she
finished
all
the
photo
in
just
under
a
couple
days.
Super-efficient
to
say
the
least
ď
Melika
will
definitely
be
my
go-to
photographer
for
any
of
my
or
my
friends
and
familiesâ
photography
needs
in
the
Pacific
Northwest.
She
made
us
feel
comfortable
and
really
enjoy
the
moment.
Also,
she
is
personable
and
attentive
to
detail.
She
is
fun
to
work
with
and
we
definitely
had
a
blast
taking
photos
with
her!
I
highly,
highly
recommend
her
if
you
are
looking
for
an
exceptional
photographer
in
the
Seattle
area!
Look
no
further,
she
is
THE
BEST!
