You deserve to have photographs that feels as authentic as your love story. That lets you be present for every precious second, knowing that each meaningful moment - planned and spontaneous - is being artfully preserved. Your memories will be as vivid and emotional decades from now as they are the moment they happen.
This is your day. Let me help you remember it exactly as it felt.
Whether you dream of a vineyard celebration in Napa, a glamorous New York City affair, or an intimate gathering on the Amalfi Coast, your story deserves to be told completely. From sun-drenched vows in the French countryside to candlelit dinners overlooking city lights, I capture the full scope of your celebration.
Your wedding experience stretches beyond just the ceremony – from rehearsal toasts to farewell brunches, each moment matters. That's why I offer fully customizable coverage that adapts to your vision. Love the timeless romance of film photography? We'll blend classic 35mm with modern digital to create an album that feels both nostalgic and fresh.
Every couple's story is unique, and your wedding day should reflect that. Let's craft something that perfectly captures your dreams – whether that's intimate elopement coverage or a multi-day destination celebration.

Countless, I hope. But here are a few…
"She captured the utter happiness between me and my husband perfectly. I can't wait to stare at these photos forever."
"...I could write a dang novel about Melissa. 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. When we first met, I felt an instant connection to her warm personality, and I knew that she was the person I needed to photograph my wedding. And HOLY COW, DID MELISSA F**KING DELIVER. I mean this woman went above and beyond anything I could have ever imagined…"
"Melissa is SUCH a gem! What attracted us to her was not only her incredible photos, but also her amazing personality..."
"Melissa is SUCH a gem! What attracted us to her was not only her incredible photos, but also her amazing personality- caring, confident, funny & disarming. We wanted photos (for both our engagement & wedding day) to capture genuine emotion so that we could truly see ourselves and our relationship in them. 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. Every single photo she took was stunning and so perfectly natural! 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..."
