Emotional and badass wedding photography for all

HI, MY NAME IS

Melissa.

A LOT OF PEOPLE CALL ME MEL, THAT’S COOL TOO.

If you wanna win my heart, I like bears, coffee, conspiracy theories and whiskey. And food. All the food. Writing about oneself is weird and I’d much rather learn about you. Make my wish come true and write me a note.

 Are you sick of wedding photos that all look alike?

 I TRAVEL!

Travel is a huge part of my identity — I am trying to go to every country in the world but this year I’m only hitting #29. Here’s where I’m headed next. Reach out if you’re gonna be in the area and would like a discounted session or if you and your boo just wanna ELOPE.

No travel fees for Midwest weddings ever.

Kind words from the raddest people around.
