About

10 Years of MCJ!

MCJ Impressions is Melanie, Charlene, Jennifer. Sisters.

Established in 2009 … We are a family-run, photography and videography company, specializing in weddings, special events, lifestyle and travel.

Born and raised in Southern California, our heart and passion was always for the arts and entertainment, studying photography, radio-TV-film, advertising, and public relations at Cal State Fullerton and Cal Poly Pomona.

As little kids in the 1990s, we would make our own versions of feature films, using our dad’s video camera (the one where you would have to record onto an actual VHS tape!), and we would have special “screenings” for our parents every night.

One day, about two decades later, we got together and thought, “Why aren’t we combining our forces?” It was only natural that we would make this is our career, made from our life-long passions.

It’s all about embracing those real moments, and we are honored to be able to leave a lasting impression. Years from now, you’ll look through your photographs and videos and relive it all over again.
