Micah and Jeff got married on a perfect Fall day last October surrounded by their families and closest friends. My favorite thing about this wedding was the way Micah and Jeff incorporated their families and histories into their special day. Even the plates and monogrammed napkins at the reception were family heirlooms. While they didn’t share in a “First Look”, Jeff surprised his soon-to-be bride by using the old laundry shoot to send her a special love letter and rose while she was getting dressed upstairs. They even exchanged gifts in the cutest way! They stood on the second and third floor balconies and passed up and down a basket which held their gifts to one another. I am so incredibly grateful that I got to share in this beautiful day with one of the most sweet and fun loving couples I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with! Congratulations you two!!!

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.
