Melissa was an absolute joy to work with!! Highly recommend!!! From the moment we booked she had incredible communication and many words of wisdom and advice along the way. On our photoshoot she was very professional and also made us feel very comfortable and at ease. We can’t say enough great things about our experience with her.

Hey, I’m Melissa, and I believe in creating dreamy, REAL wedding photos for REAL couples, who value joy over hustle, fun in the present moment, and laughing at the imperfect moments of life.
Because your wedding is more than just a one-and-done sorta day. It’s a huge milestone that you’ve been waiting for your entire lifetime for. And as a professional painter-turned-photographer, I’m here to tell the visual story of your day, led with heartfelt emotion and genuine experiences with the people you cherish most to share in this magical day.
Years from now, I don’t want you to look back and feel like your photos are just another digital folder on your desktop that you should do something with. Everytime you view your gallery, my goal is to transport you right back to the moment, so you can relive and fall head over heels in love, all over again.
I’m your sunset chaser, dog lover, probably-dance-at-your-reception kinda girl
