About
Weddings are the ultimate celebration of love, community, and personal style. You spend hours choosing the right shade of eucalyptus green, crafting the most entertaining series of events, and sifting through racks of dresses for that perfect lace pattern just so you can say, "I love this person," while your friends and family bear witness. Your wedding photos document every ounce of energy that you put into planning your big day and preserve them for years to come.
Melissa utilizes a combination of photojournalism and artistic direction to capture both candid emotional moments and artistically composed "wall-worthy" editorial portraits. She strives to pose her couples in a way that reflects their true nature as a couple and equally as individuals. Melissa provides gentle posing guidance that is both easy to follow and adds to an enjoyable session experience. You will never be left wondering what to do with your hands because Melissa will guide you at every step. She crafts her artistic direction and posing style around her clients, so the images feel authentic. Melissa believes that the experience of taking your photos is just as important as the photos themselves.

Team
I grew up in a home with bookcases packed full of family photo albums. On rainy days, my parents and I would sit down and go through all of our photos. I listened as my parents told stories from the past, and we grew closer with every tale. We laughed over shared experiences and embarrassing memories. We felt the strange combination of joy, love, and grief while remembering passed loved ones. I became a photographer so that I could give others the gift of a photographic legacy for themselves and their families.
