for
FLORIDA and DESTINATION wedding photographer
Rooted in art, shaped by story.
Enduring imagery that feels honest, joy-filled, and artfully captured.
Because the moments that matter most deserve to be remembered with warmth, captured with care, and told in a way that feels refined yet deeply personal. Where every image reflects not only how your day unfolded, but the emotion woven throughout it.

MEET MELISSA
At home near the coast. Ever-focused on beauty and the art of creation; found in the quiet moments that leave me breathless and in awe.
With a background in art and design from RISD, I see photography as both an art form and a way of connecting deeply with people. Inspired by light, nature, and the poetry of everyday moments, I approach each wedding with an artist’s eye and a storyteller’s heart. From our first conversation to your final gallery, I’ll guide you with clarity and kindness, ensuring the experience feels as elevated and artful as the imagery itself.
