MEET THE PHOTOGRAPHER
hi i’m Melissa. You can call me mel!
YOU FIND YOURSELF HERE BECAUSE SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY, YOU'VE SEEN MY WORK AND THOUGHT TO YOURSELF, 'HEY, MAYBE THIS CHICK SHOULD SHOOT MY WEDDING'. AND THAT'S SO AWESOME. THANKS FOR CHECKING ME OUT A LITTLE MORE.
Wedding world can be full of lots of BS but I am going to tell you one thing that is absolutely, 100% true: your wedding photos are the only thing from your big day that will only increase in value through the years you spend together. Let that sink in. It's the only thing. I know this first hand as someone who got married. The dress will fade. The food may be delicious but it can't last. Even your best friends may struggle to remember your first dance song or the kind of flowers in your bouquet. But your wedding photos are truly, uncompromisingly forever. They will live on far past the wedding day that flies by din a whirlwind. There’s no amount of money I wouldn’t pay for my wedding photos today, 8 years later. So while I love having fun and creating badass art, at the end of the day, creating a legacy for you, for your loved ones, for future generations, that is why I do what I do. That is my WHY.

I’m good at my job because it’s more than photos. It’s about getting to know you.
I'm up for adventure, anything that's real and fun and true to you.
I don't do basic. I don't do cheesy. I don't do trends. I focus on who you are as a couple and telling your story artistically and truthfully. I'm here for your journey. And I'm here to make it look as cool and wonderful and happy and raw as it is.
I'm for the adventurous, intensely real and laid back couple who wants to get back to the heart of it all. Get back to real. If you're reading this and inside you're just going "YES! That's me." then you're definitely apart of my tribe and I would love to work with you. Let's talk. And make stuff.
XO,
Mel
