With over a decade of experience and more than 230 weddings photographed, I've dedicated my career to capturing the most intimate and breathtaking moments of love. As a photographer based across San Francisco, Sonoma, and Napa, I specialize in creating imagery that is both timeless and deeply authentic—seamlessly blending digital and film to tell your unique story. My approach is rooted in connection. From calming pre-ceremony jitters to documenting those quiet, profound moments with family, I invest myself wholeheartedly in your experience. My work is an intentional blend of unbridled joy and emotion—designed to preserve not just how your day looked, but exactly how it felt.

"She captured the utter happiness between me and my husband perfectly. I can't wait to stare at these photos forever."

The most kind hearted, supportive, positive, wonderful person and I don't know that I would have gotten through our pandemic wedding planning without her.

I mean this woman went above and beyond anything I could have ever imagined…"

She was the most responsive of ALL of our wedding vendors by a long shot, and really took care in getting to know us and our vision for our wedding- not just for our photos, but for everything."...
"...She just flies under the radar while capturing the most beautiful, special and real moments..."
"...I have never seen a photographer with such grace and calm energy like Melissa. She just flies under the radar while capturing the most beautiful, special and real moments from our big day.

I will always remember the moment right before our first look, Melissa told me "this moment is about you and Brian, no one else... just you two... remember that!" It made me feel so comfortable and confident and I totally forgot about that awkward feeling I get when I am behind a camera..."
