Life is all about connection – to our family, to our friends, to our truest selves – and the relationships we build that create our richest memories. Capturing your meaningful moments and connecting families through photography is my heart’s greatest joy. Once you submit your first inquiry through this contact form, I will reach out via email so we can get to know each other to make sure we are the perfect match for your wedding day.
From the first inquiry through each of your heirloom memories, I promise to give your love story the attention, energy, and focus it rightly deserves. I only accept ten weddings per year to ensure that each of my couples feels supported and cherished every step of the way.
Your Wedding Day is a new chapter of your love story. This special day will be filled with intricate details that let others sneak a tiny glimpse of this love story. Communication is key in bringing your unique vision to life, and my goal is to be your confidant and friend, every step of the way; allowing you to be fully present and truly enjoy this joy-filled day.
I cannot wait to capture, both the big and the in-between moments, that make up these lasting memories. So please don’t be shy! Share with me all that inspires you. Let’s get this celebration started!
Whether your vision is an intimate, personal commemoration or the celebration of a lifetime with all of your family and friends, I am honored to document this incredible day for you. Together we will create images that represent you and your unique love: the laughs you share with your best friends as you get ready, the tears on your fiancé’s face, mere minutes, before he becomes your husband, the catch in your chest as you hear the ceremony musicians begin. These are the honest moments I want to capture for you. These are the images that make this day a tangible piece of personal history.
When it comes to editing your images, I believe in Quality over quantity. Each image deserves the utmost respect, which is why your final wedding gallery will be delivered 3 months following your wedding day. As a hybrid photographer, you can expect one-of-a-kind Fine Art quality images that will remain timeless heirloooms for generations to come.
In order to ensure the best experience possible for my couples, I accept a limited number of weddings per year. A custom package will be tailored to your needs – taking into account the location, wedding party size, and more.
If you are planning a micro-wedding, reach out for custom information!

"Melanie is hands down the BEST photographer in the business!
She is so accommodating and did the most wonderful job of making us feel so comfortable during our pictures. Not only does she do a terrific job with all the "staged poses", but she also captures so many sweet candid moments you will be thankful to have for years to come. If you want a photographer who will make you feel like the most beautiful and special couple, do yourself a favor and book her for your big day, you will not regret it!"
