Diana & James Jupiter Engagement Session

July 17, 2018

Diana and James, who prefers to go by his middle name “Woody”, met 11 years ago when Woody moved in across the street from Diana. They have, as Diana calls it, “a different kind of love story”. As any good boy meets girl next door story goes, they met in High School and became best friends. Diana was a senior at the time and Woody was a junior, so she would pick him up from school everyday and they would hang out, ride bikes, and soon enough, they became an item. But as a lot of teenage love stories go, Diana graduated and left Jupiter to see where life would take her. Obviously this story has a happy ending (DUH), so let’s just fast-forward a few years! Life eventually brought them back together and they have now been together for 5 beautiful years.  They have two children in elementary school who are going to be their flower girl and ring bearer! Like, how cute!? When you see Diana and Woody look at each other, it’s apparent that these two are madly in love. They still have that dreamy first love look about them, like they never left High School. Maybe it’s the hopeless romantic in me, but guys, these two are the real deal. They are getting married this November in Jupiter (the town they met in), and I am BEYOND excited to be capturing this incredibly special day for them. UPDATE: You can see their GORGEOUS wedding here!

BEHIND THE LENS

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. 

As a South Florida fine art and film wedding photographer, I approach every wedding with an artist’s eye and a storyteller’s heart, quietly observing, gently guiding, and always attuned to the moments that matter most. From the big emotions to the in-between details, I’m there to preserve it all with care and intention. With a background in fine arts from RISD and over a decade photographing weddings, my work is rooted in thoughtful composition, emotional depth, and a love for meaningful stories. You’ll find me offering calm support, a joyful presence, and just enough direction to help you feel fully seen and at ease. Every look, every handhold, every fleeting second, it’s all part of your story. And it would be an honor to tell it.
