Hey y'all! Let's be honest: Wedding planning can be a lot of work! I point this out to mention: I'm here for you. While spending some of your most vulnerable and special moments with me, I do my best to provide assistance and support wherever you need it. You deserve to be cared for and celebrated on your special day, and I do everything possible to make that happen!

Hey y'all! My name is Melanie, but call me Mel!


Although I didn't go to film school or start photography at a super young age, I have always had a deep interest and love for the arts. I was honored to capture 30 amazing weddings all over the States this past year.


I am so excited for this year. I have already connected with such amazing couples. I can't wait to meet you as well!!


2026 books are now open and filling up FAST!!


If you have pictured someone who aims to be candid and intentional, a little bit silly, random, and weird, always has a source of caffeine close by, and laughs at her own clumsiness... I am your person! I send too many emojis in texts and send emails with too many exclamation points. But most of all, I strongly believe in serving and loving on all people.

"Melanie has done my engagements, wedding, pregnancy announcement, maternity shoot, and newborn photos. She is always reliable and produces my vision 100% of the time. Every shoot turns out EXACTLY like we planned. She is the only photographer I trust with my life’s most important moments."
