Hi, I’m Melissa — your storyteller behind the lens.
I believe your wedding photos should feel like you — full of laughter, love, and all the in-between moments that make your day unforgettable. My approach is natural and heartfelt, focusing on capturing genuine emotion and timeless beauty rather than stiff poses. When you look back on your photos, I want you to feel the joy, the nerves, the warmth — every little piece of your story, beautifully preserved forever.

what make us

"We are so happy we worked with Melissa for our engagement and wedding photos! They are INCREDIBLE and we are OBSESSED! She was so wonderful, responsive and professional.

Say less.. Let's book it!

Photography is one of the greatest investments you can make in your lifetime. It’s one of the few things we can put money into that lasts forever. Years pass by in the blink of an eye, and with photos, they bring you back to a memory you may have forgotten.

Some of the greatest values that I strive to create in my work are authenticity and quality.
