In the second photo, the couple stands next to each other, with the man holding a bouquet of flowers. In the third photo, the woman is sitting on the chair, with the man sitting on the ground nearby, both looking at the camera.

THE VIBE: ANTI PINTEREST-PERFECT PHOTOS

PERMISSION TO BE SAFE, SEEN, AND FREE TO GET SENTIMENTAL (AND MAYBE A LITTLE WEIRD).

Throw away what you think wedding and maternity photography has to look like. Because your story is wild, messy, beautiful, and deeply personal. It’s what you’ll feel deep in your bones every time you look back at your photos.

SO WHY WOULD THEY LOOK like everyone else’s?

As a former dance instructor, I know how bodies move and fit together. I’m always posing and prompting in ways that help you feel comfortable, confident, and ready to push the boundaries of traditional photos.

MY PHOTOGRAPHY ETHOS

CAPTURING THE TINIEST AND UNEXPECTED MOMENTS THAT BRING YOU BACK TO YOUR DAY.

For me, the littlest, seemingly insignificant details play an important role in transporting you back. Your photos will engage all five senses so you remember not just what you saw, but what you heard, felt, smelled, and even tasted that day.

MELISSA IS EASILY THE BEST VENDOR WE HAD FOR OUR WEDDING DAY!

She went above and beyond throughout the whole process. She made taking our engagement, wedding, and even boudoir pictures so much fun and made us feel so comfortable. She is truly so amazing at her job, the pictures capture so many moments we didn’t even think she’d see!

AS A COUPLE GETTING MARRIED, SPENDING AN ENTIRE DAY WITH YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER CAN BE EXHAUSTING, BUT WITH MELISSA IT'S LIKE YOU'RE HANGING OUT WITH YOUR BEST FRIEND.

There are continuous laughs yet she still manages to take some of the most beautiful photos. She has an amazing eye to see beauty in every little thing and somehow manages to be creative and organized at the same time. If you're looking for a photographer for your wedding, you've found her!
