let's get to know each other
Hey, I'm Melanie!
If you believe that a wedding day is a beautiful balance of magic and meaningful intent, you have come to the right place. Since 2016, I have had the privilege of capturing weddings with a light and airy touch, celebrating the unique spirit of your day whether you are hosting a massive party or a cozy gathering.
Your day deserves to be captured in a way that values how special a day it truly is..
I often tell my couples to think of me as a supportive friend who just happens to have a camera. My goal is to integrate seamlessly into your celebration, offering a calming presence that helps you feel completely at ease. I pride myself on creating a space where you feel incredible in your own skin, knowing exactly how to guide you into poses and angles that are natural, flattering, and uniquely you. Whether I’m capturing a tearful toast or a quiet glance, I am there to ensure you feel comfortable, confident, and radiant.
While I live for soft, dreamy portraits and unscripted joy, I also harbor a secret love for the rhythm of a wedding day. I adore the effort you have poured into this occasion, the intricacies of the table settings, the timing of the music, and the flow of the evening. I see the beauty in the timeline you’ve crafted, and I work tirelessly to protect that experience, ensuring your day unfolds effortlessly while I capture the memories.
I know that a wedding isn't just about being "crazy in love", it is a profound milestone that honors your shared history and the life you are building together. It is one of the biggest moments of your life, and it deserves to be documented with grace and care.
When I’m not preserving your memories or teaching other photographers the craft, I’m likely embracing the beautiful chaos of life with my husband and our six children. You can usually find me unwinding with a glass of wine, a good charcuterie board, and a corny drama on Netflix (or sitting by the fire, weather permitting!).
I can’t wait to learn about the beautiful day you are planning and help you capture the magic of it all.
