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.

Thinking about incorporating film into your photography workflow? After several years of photographing solely digital I decided to incorporate film into my work and it changed the way I photograph.
