Hey, I'm Mel, and I can't wait to capture your story!

Hiya, gorgeous! As a full-time wedding photographer, I must say that I’m extremely fortunate to have found a profession that I’m passionately in love with. For over seven years now, I’ve been blessed to witness beautiful love stories unfold in front of me, and capture them in all their glory.

But, that’s not all there is to me! I’m an adventure seeker, and nothing brings me more joy than travelling the world, exploring old, mysterious houses and castles, and taking really long road trips. When I’m not busy chasing the perfect shot, I love to dabble in cross-stitching, explore different cuisines (Mexican food is my favourite!), and lose myself in the aisles of bookstores for hours.

So, that’s me in a nutshell – a wedding photographer, a traveller, an explorer, a foodie, and a bookworm!

Happy Words

from happy clients

Mel was a phenomenal photographer, from start to finish. I find myself constantly looking back at our wedding photos and feeling like I’m reliving the day in full thanks to her keen eye and skill behind the camera. She nailed everything, from the “formal” shots to the candid reception shots of our friends having a blast on the dance floor. Not only was she a wonderful photographer worth every penny, but she’s also a great human. I will continue to recommend her to my friends and can’t wait to see her at their weddings, too!

Mel is personable, thoughtful, and a wonderful photographer. She truly cares about her couples and goes above and beyond to make each wedding she photographs stress free and fun! She has an eye for detail and captures the most beautiful photos!

Melissa is the BEST! I was very nervous about getting the perfect pictures and she takes a great balance of candids and posed pictures.

Call Melissa! But seriously, Melissa’s skill and thoughtfulness as a photographer are unmatched and the best part of it all is that she will make you feel at ease in an instant. Hear me when I say, you will have FUN with Melissa and her work will blow you away. She is excellent in adapting quickly to new surroundings and finding unique spots to get the perfect shot. Taking a risk comes easily to her and she is always down for an adventure. It is the perfect mix of capturing what you want and putting her own artistic spin on the occasion. Melissa is prompt and clear in her communication with her clients and her pricing is EXCELLENT. The quality of her add-on prints and albums are phenomenal. Investing in her work is an easy decision for us, every time.
