Obsessed is an understatement for how I feel about Livia and Phil’s engagement session! When Livia first told me about wanting to book Stardust Studio for their session I knew it would be beyond special. These two have such a fun and quirky personal style and the house matched them and their personalities perfectly. They […]
Melissa and Kyle’s engagement was the perfect way to kick off going back to work after almost three months of quarantine! These two are just the sweetest, most laid-back, silly, and madly in love couple and I am so grateful we finally got to have their session after rescheduling multiple times! Now I just have […]
I’m so excited to share this gorgeous Palm Beach engagement session with the sweetest, most fun loving couple! Marissa and Robert “Bubba” met back in college in 2012 and started dating after Bubba broke the ice, in true 2012 fashion, via Facebook. They’ve been together for 7 amazing years. One their first date, Bubba took […]
I’m very confident of three things after meeting Jessica and Michael and doing their engagement session in Safety Harbor. One, that the light in Tampa is significantly more beautiful than it is in South Florida. Now, maybe that’s because it was the most perfect day and there’s something so magical about oak trees and hanging […]

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.
