About

Your wedding isn’t just a day. It’s the beginning of a legacy, a story told in shared smiles, heartfelt vows, and unrestrained laughter. These aren’t just photos—they’re the moments you’ll hold onto when the dust settles and the years stretch ahead.
I’m here for the real, the raw, the deeply felt. The kind of moments you'll revisit, side by side on a front porch swing fifty years from now, gently turning the pages of your wedding album and remembering how it all began.

I am so pumped that you are here, if we haven't yet got the chance to meet, I'm Mel— an Oklahoma based wedding + elopement photographer serving the OK, TX, + beyond. I have traveled all over the U.S. documenting love stories just like yours for the past 7 years. (okay not just like yours bc everyones love story is unique)

My approach to your wedding day is all about two things. Documenting your love in a way that feels authentic to you + making sure you have the best time while we do it— more real moments + less perfectly curated portraits. Those are the moments you want to remember most anyways am I right?!

Excellent!

Mel is amazing at keeping everyone organize and stress free! She makes taking pictures fun, yes, even for the guys! We had her for our engagement/wedding photos and we still look at them all the time. She did a GREAT job at capturing the day exactly how I pictured it.

The best wedding photographer!

We LOVED having Mel as our wedding photographer. She went above and beyond to take high quality photos and delivered our galleries super quick. In my opinion, the photos are the most important part of a wedding and I was so happy we chose to use The Turquoise Lens.

Couldn’t have asked for anything better!

Melissa was a dream to work with! Not only does she take beautiful pictures but she is very hands on, attentive and helps everything flow smoothly leading up to the wedding day and on the wedding day. I’d hire her 100 times over in a heartbeat!

Review for The Turquoise Lens

We absolutely loved working with Mel! I found her on instagram around the time of our engagement and immediately knew that is who I wanted for our wedding and she did not disappoint! Not only is she personable and easy to work with she is extremely talented and captured our day just like we imagined. She made family photos quick and easy even while getting our 2 year old son to cooperate! Mel is worth her weight in gold!
