intimate | timeless | authentic
WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
MY PHILOSOPHY
I believe in documenting moments that tell your story in an real, raw, and authentic way.
As your wedding & couple's photographer, I promise to capture the REAL moments and connections you have with your partner & your people on your wedding or elopement day, through a cinematic and documentary style of photography.
CAPTURING YOUR AUTHENTIC STORY THROUGH intimate imagery
Your love story is unique, and I believe it should be told with authenticity and genuine emotion. My approach goes beyond mere posing; it's about creating an environment where you and your partner can truly connect and let your love (and your day) unfold naturally. No forced smiles or awkward poses here.
I understand that the process of finding a wedding photographer and planning a wedding can be overwhelming and stressful, that's why I prioritize making the experience easy and stress-free for you. From our initial contact to the final gallery delivery, I strive to ensure a seamless journey.

MEET MELANI
I wasn't always a wedding photographer... I actually didn't start this gig until the ripe (young) age of 29, just after my first son was born. After leaving a more "structured" career, I decided to let my creativity run wild... and here we are three years later.
​
If you're looking for some super in-depth bio about me... you won't find it here... not because I don't have a "story" but rather, I believe in getting to know one another in a more natural sense... over coffee, a phone call, a long walk on a beach (just kidding), or before I get to document your forever after.
​
If you MUST know more... you can find a few fun facts about me under my "experience" page.

WHAT MY COUPLES ARE SAYING
LOVE NOTES
"Oh. My. Goodness. I'm in love with every photo."
Oh. My. Goodness. I'm in love with every photo melani has taken for us throughout our engagement and wedding. She is professional always, expert at her craft, master of a timeline, and so respectful of all our requests. She was a joy to work with and brought our entire vision to life. We can't wait to work with her again!"
