About

Hi! Thanks for checking out our portfolio! We are a husband and wife team and we are so passionate about love and weddings. Melanie has been a photographer since 2009 and Brian has been a photographer since 2011. Together, we have specialized in weddings since 2015. We have photographed in almost every New England state and have photographed destination weddings as far as South Carolina and Michigan. Besides wedding photography, we love spending time with our two sons, our two cats and our dog. We love spending time together and traveling. Our dream is to bring the people part of our family on a European tour one day!

Brian and I are an incredible team. We have wedding photography down to a science! I bring the calm. I am level-headed and I can manage your wedding party and family with grace. I watch the clock and the sun, and I keep things moving. Brian brings the stealth. We are frequently told that Brian was able to get shots when nobody saw him or knew he was photographing. Brian is the king of candid!

We would love the opportunity to work with you! Please send us an email at mbm.melanie@gmail.com and we'll get back to you right away! If you send us your venue name and wedding date, we'll also send you links to view our work at your venue if we can.

Moments by Melanie: top-notch photographers!

Moments by Melanie is absolutely amazing! Melanie and Brian both had such a calming presence as we were getting ready and helped us plan out our day to best capture all of the shots we wanted. Not only are all of our portraits stunning, but Melanie and Brian caught so many candids, details and laughs we would have otherwise missed without their photos. They were also so flexible with our timeline and allowed us multiple venues for capturing memories. They work very well as a team to capture every moment and even our guests had glowing comments for them after the wedding - they will certainly exceed your expectations! Melanie's blog posts of photos and her memories of the day are an added bonus and are keepsakes of their own. Professional, attentive, easy to work with, unobtrusive, creative, and personable all describe Melanie and Brian. We love looking back at all of our images and reliving all of the highlights of the day. We highly recommend them for any wedding!

Moments by Melanie provided us with a timeless album that we will have and share forever

Melanie and Brian, the team behind MBM Weddings, are an incredible duo of artists and professionals that have given us a timeless album from our wedding that we will be proud to show off for the rest of our lives. Melanie was recommended by a friend, and we could not possibly be happier with their work.

Just checking out their site you can already see how versatile and elegant their work is, but what we couldn't have fully prepared for was how professional, calming, and artful they were throughout the whole experience. Aside from being among the most prepared people in the room (which made us feel very comfortable!), they really put us at ease with how they were able to navigate all the family groupings and dynamics to get a series of incredible portraits without ever getting frustrated with our changes and craziness. When documenting the bridal and groom suites while we getting ready, they both seemed to melt into the background to grab some amazing candids, and those shots are some of our favorites from the night.

We were both pretty nervous, excited, and agitated throughout the day thinking about all the moments to follow, and Melanie’s presence was extremely calming. We always felt like we were in good hands, and we so appreciate her positivity and confidence. We also appreciate that she took such great care in addressing the little things that she knew we were nervous about, and we felt very well cared for.

Having now received the final album, we have been showing off their work to everyone in our lives, and the compliments have been endless. Melanie and Brian have a knack for capturing the exact moments that make a day or event special – not just the posed shots or portraits, but the real emotion of the day. You can’t really put a price on that kind of ability and care, and we give MBM Weddings our highest recommendation for anyone looking at a wedding photographer. Thank you again, and we love that you were a part of our special day!

Melanie is AWESOME! She is friendly, creative, responsive & helpful through all aspects of wedding plan (not just photography)! We used her for both our engagement & wedding photos! They are photos we are sure going to cherish for years to come! I can’t wait to work with her again soon!
