About

Can I tell you how amazing it is to get to be with people on the best day of their lives so far? The job of making wedding photographs is one of the most important and intimate tasks I undertake, and it is a privilege to be invited in to such a meaningful day in your life. And it’s not just the big wedding day moments that are important, it’s all the little in-between moments that we often cherish most--a squeeze of a hand from mom, a knowing glance exchanged with a Maid of Honor, or a stolen kiss with your new spouse when you think no one is looking.

My background in photojournalism lets me not just capture the main events and portraits of you and your family, but also lets me see and anticipate those most important bits of life between the formalities--and to capture your unique day as it was.


I live and work in suburban Philadelphia but am happy to travel to any shoot location.

Spectacular is an understatement

Melissa is the real deal. While we absolutely love our photos and got so many compliments from friends and family on the quality of the photography, what really blows me away about Melissa is her attention to detail and how personable and awesome she is (and the second photographer Theresa too!). If every vendor you hired was as professional, on top of it, and thoughtful as Melissa, we wouldn’t need reviews. She is so prepared for what the wedding day throws at her, she even had a box of safety pins when I had an unfortunately timed wardrobe malfunction and helped me fix it when on one else was around. When we asked Melissa to shoot us in our hiking boots in a park, she literally laid on the ground to get the best shot of my boots and the dress—total rockstar! Melissa is super responsive, even weeks after the wedding, and very accommodating. The pictures were delivered very quickly, easily accessible, and very organized. We can’t recommend Melissa enough—working with her has been an absolute pleasure and a breeze.

Melissa was a dream!

If you're looking for a wedding or event photographer, stop searching, you've found her! Melissa was incredible! She was a dream to work with, immediately tuned into the vibe we were going for, and made everyone feel at ease. Planning with her could not have been easier (a godsend really, because what bride-to-be has endless amounts of free time to dedicate to every detail?!). She offered all of her expertise, but really got to know us to ensure our vision was captured on the big day. And on the day she was terrific! She was there for every important moment, but never intrusive. More than willing to stand on tables or lay on the ground to get the best shot! She was funny, and happy, and easy going, even in the non-stop deluge of rain! She seamlessly blended in to the scene, and was able to capture all of the unforgettable moments and beautiful memories that will now last a lifetime!

Simply the best

Melissa was our first and only choice when it came to choosing a wedding photographer. After seeing her work throughout the years from the weddings of former classmates and acquaintences, she was one of the first calls we made after selecting our wedding date. She was amazing to work with from start to finish and her work is BEAUTIFUL. We plan to use her for any future milestones we want to capture.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
