About

Who is La Dolce Vita Studio? We are Melanie and Bradford Watson, husband and wife, best friends and partners. We love LOVE and love capturing LOVE. It is our great pleasure to be the artists responsible for capturing and showcasing the true joy, excitement, and beauty of your wedding day. Gone are the days of traditional wedding photos filled with stagnant posing and predictable shots. Our style is fun, fresh, sexy and unique! When you are looking for a photographer for your wedding day, you aren’t hiring someone to simply show up, snap some shots and be done. You are commissioning an artist who can tell the story of your wedding day and all the little moments that make it so special. We enjoy getting to truly know our clients, finding out what makes you you. Our clients become our friends and that allows them to open up in front of our cameras letting their true personalities shine through. Your love is the inspiration for our art, and inspires our own love to grow. You are one of a kind with a love that is one of a kind. On your wedding day, don’t settle for anything less than the best to capture a day like no other.

We offer a wide variety of services and products to meet most any need. All our albums are custom designed and of the highest quality. Stop by our blog and check out all the latest that is going on in our lives and what current projects we are working on: LaDolceBlog.

La Dolce Vita Studio, specializing in couture weddings for a look that is uniquely you! Dare to stand out from the crowd, Dare to be different!

Mel and Brad were fantastic. We met with a few photographers, all who showed us portfolios of photos that fit with our style, but we immediately clicked with the Watsons and knew they were the team for us. They were up front with their pricing and honestly told us the level of service they thought we would need, even showing us ways we could save money when we had a bit of sticker shock. They were timely, professional, and friendly in their email ahead of the event. They were on time (even early) on the day of the wedding and kept us at ease in front of the camera (totally not a natural place for us to be). They were just fun to be around. I had fears of long, painful formal family photos but Mel and Brad were quick and managed to get a good shot of everyone (even babies looking at the camera!) in every one. Their photos of the ceremony and reception took my breath away. They have been their usual timely, professional, and friendly selves in all ordering after the wedding, even when I've emailed Mel over and over with different questions about ordering options. They are wonderful and easily one vendor we would book again in a heartbeat. I cannot recommend La Dolce Vita highly enough!

Melanie and Bradford were excellent from the beginning. We spent a lot of hours searching for amazing photographers, and their style fit the bill. We had a lot of fun shooting our engagement pics with them, and they were gorgeous, really works of art. They play with light and scenery in a very artistic and unique way, and the photographs are incredible. We have seen a few shots of our wedding so far, and they are definitely the same. They were both very professional and fun to be around at the same time. We would recommend them to anyone.

Melanie and Bradford are perfection. Having a husband and wife team who immediately care and respect their clients was showcased early on in our meetings with them. They have top-notch services that confirm pay,ent dates, have an amazing eye for great photography, and are a pleasure to have by your side on your wedding day. I can't recommend them enough to document each step of your wedding day.
