MELISSA
What truly drives me is the opportunity to connect with couples on a personal level and create an experience that feels effortless and fun. I believe that wedding photography isn’t just about posing or perfect shots. It’s about capturing the essence of your relationship and the beautiful emotions that happen naturally throughout your day. From the nervous excitement before the ceremony to the wild celebration on the dance floor, I’m there to document every genuine moment with warmth and intention.
My goal is to provide you with timeless images that not only look stunning but also transport you back to exactly how you felt in that moment, time and time again.

Weddings have always held a special place in my heart. Long before I ever picked up a professional camera, I was in the middle of it all, passing hors d’oeuvres as a teen caterer, zipping up gowns as a bridal stylist in college, and quietly falling in love with the energy, beauty, and emotion of a wedding day.
Photography was always in the background. It was my way of seeing the world, of remembering things that felt important. I saved up for my first DSLR after high school, not knowing just how big a role it would play in my life.
Eventually, I realized that my two passions, storytelling through images, and the magic of weddings, were meant to come together. With a little courage (and a lot of support), I turned my side hustle into a full-time career. And now? I get to witness and document love stories for a living. Pinch me.
I don’t take a single wedding for granted. Every one is unique, emotional, joyful, and fleeting. I’m here to make sure you don’t miss a moment of it.

Sipping chartreuse and green tea while looking at the most perfect white subway tile and hand painted signs. Driving through the mountains to Portland reminiscing about the best memories back home. Cozy sweaters, vintage demin, and Pabst while telling one of a kind love stories. The trials and tribulations of love, joy, and happiness. Lastly, champagne brunch and avocado toast while surrounded by the finest exposed brick, dreamcatchers, and maps to our souls. Dreamcatchers, macrame and 100 Days of Summer. Anthropologie trips and walks on the beach, love letters and secret admirers. Fall breeze, flannels, and hot cocoa. Whales and dinosaurs and handmade crafts. Salvage denim, antique leather bags, and the first time we watched Moonrise Kingdom.
The slow hum of traffic and the cool breeze that signify the joy of a new day.
