“My spouse and I would give her a million stars if we could!”
“Melanie was the photographer at our wedding and we truly cannot recommend her enough. She was so kind and lovely in the months leading up to the wedding, answering all our questions and meeting with us whenever we had a worry.
On the day she was nothing but easy to work with - her ideas were wonderful and she made us feel so incredibly comfortable. Every photo she sent us post wedding has been magical and dreamy - she captured our wedding day perfectly. Her photos are truly works of art.
For any other queer couples too she was so wonderful to my wife and I as well as our queer/trans guests. She didn’t hesitate about respecting pronouns right out of the gate. My spouse and I would give her a million stars if we could. We cannot recommend Melanie enough!!!”

“She made pure magic for us!!”
“Looking for an amazing photographer? Look no further. Melanie is a true INCREDIBLE talent, you can really see the amount of effort and detail she puts into taking each photo. We were absolutely speechless when we received our gallery... Happy tears. <3 Coming from someone who doesn't love photos of me unless they are shot from the perfect angle, she didn't even know what that angle that was and still 1000% nailed it. I would and will recommend Melanie to anyone, such a kind gal as well, so easy to work with. She made pure magic for us!!”

But how is she different?
She goes above and beyond for her clients. Seriously. Aside from raving reviews about her photos, we hear all the time how impressed clients are not only with Melanie’s dedication and attentiveness on their wedding day, but during the entire lead up to the wedding. The unlimited communication she has with her clients before and after the wedding goes a long way with them feeling seen and heard. She doesn’t take her job lightly; she creates a personal experience from start to finish.
Package flexibility! This is rare. Melanie allows all her clients to finalize their package choice and add-ons just one month before the wedding! So, whatever the 25% deposit was of the package they originally chose, that amount will go towards whatever package/number of coverage hours they settle on, regardless of whether that’s more or less than the original! This goes such a long way for the many people who want to book her early in their planning process but have NO CLUE what their timeline will end up looking like!
She will document the day not only from your perspective, so you can solidify and preserve your unique memories from your wedding day, but she also documents the countless moments that you didn’t get to see. Your guests tearing up during the ceremony. Their laughter at the speeches. The cousins who haven’t seen each other in ten years warmly embracing. How your mom proudly watched the father/daughter dance. Every single person that got up on that dance floor at the end of the night. No moment is lost.
You truly get to relive the entire day through her photos.
She puts as much attention and detail into every photo as she does with the gallery as a whole, so the gallery tells the entire story while each photo can powerfully stand on its own. That’s what you get when you hire an artist.
She gets all the candids you want and love.
You’re getting a true artist! Melanie has been in the art world for over 20 years and has extensive training and experience in the area. When you book her, you’re not getting a cookie-cutter wedding photographer that does the same copy-paste approach to every wedding, you’re getting an artist. That means a personalized experience. That means photos from your wedding that will be art you can proudly hang on your walls. She treats every wedding uniquely and gets to know you as a couple and your unique vision. She wants her photos to document the whole story, while also standing alone as art. She’s the one that’ll bring your vision to life.
You’ll know you can trust her on your wedding day. She knows it’s her responsibility to get to know everything you want captured on the day. So she talks with you multiple times before the wedding day, sends you all the questions, and gets all the information she needs. You’ll show up on your wedding day and KNOW she’s the one thing you won’t have to worry about. She’s the one you can trust and just know that ‘she’s got it.’
