Amanda Summers Photography

Hi there, I'm Melissa, but I go by Lissa (like Melissa without the -me). Welcome to my little corner of the internet- I'm so glad that you're here! I know that wedding planning can be a daunting process-but I'm here to help navigate you through all of the craziness that comes with planning a wedding.

I'm your planning BFF and hype-girl from the moment you get engaged to cheering you on as you bust a move on your wedding day! As a wedding planner and bridesmaid (x 10), I've seen pretty much every crazy scenario and I've got your back no matter what because you deserve the best experience possible!

I love learning about what’s most important to you and your partner on your wedding day, and incorporating that into all of the unique details.

I’m here to help make planning fun and easy so you can actually ENJOY your day without the constant fear and anxiety of worrying what will happen if something goes wrong, because I've got this!

If you're a fun-loving, down to earth couple who love dogs, Saturdays at the vineyard, and finding the best place for takeout, drop into our emails and let's get this party rolling!
