Weddings/ Elopements
Weddings/Elopements
My Wedding/Elopement galleries feature, intimate, documentary style photos, focusing on authenticity and joy. I'm a Queer inclusive Photographer and accept couples of all identities! When you hire me to take photos of your love, I'm more than just a photographer.
I'm your biggest hype woman too. I'm behind the scenes to capture the moments you might miss in the overwhelm or excitement.
​
To me photos are more than simply an image. They are the physical manifestation of a missed moment. They capture what our memories forget, what our eyes can't see, and what our heavy spirit might be too burdened to notice.​​
​​
I'm drawn towards couples who have their own path, and desire to be seen and celebrated for who they are! I'm Affirming of all Love, and hope to make you feel seen, safe, and celebrated.

Our Clients Say
"I found Melissa on Tik Tok! She helped me plan and execute a surprise engagement for my soon to be wife. She set up the cutest little picnic in the woods, and after the proposal gave my fiancé and I a moment to slow dance together to our special song. I could tell she cared about capturing my love, not only as a client, but as a human being.
​
We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and will definitely be booking her again for our 2027 wedding!
