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.

A GLIMPSE INTO EVERYDAY LIFE
My days are filled with fresh garden herbs in the kitchen, cotton dresses in the breeze, soft music, laughter with my son Milo, quiet date nights with Tyler, and unhurried evenings by the coast. These simple, joy-filled moments are a reminder of what matters most—and they’re the same spirit I carry when I photograph your story.
