I'm a Washington, DC based wedding photographer who specializes in timeless, intimate imagery for the crazy in love. We may not have met yet, but you should know that I already adore your love story. Each and every one of us has a unique tale worth etching in stone. Your love story deserves to be immortalized amongst a backdrop of windswept wildflowers with an epic view of rolling hills in the distance. I believe that photography sessions can and should be a good time. I also believe that you can never have too many pairs of black boots, but that's just me!

"HER ABILITY TO HANDLE our CAST OF CHARACTERS WITH EASE AND GRACE WAS REMARKABLE. "

overheard:

From the moment Melissa called for our photo planning session, our personalities clicked. Her friendly and organized nature put us at ease. When we officially met her the morning of our wedding, we knew she was going to make the day special. Not only is she a talented photographer, but her ability to handle the cast of characters with ease and grace was remarkable. Every person I spoke to the night of the wedding commented on how wonderful our photographer was. We loved the sneak peek and are anxiously awaiting the rest of our photos. Pick Melissa! 

Follow along for dreamy wedding days, style inspiration, and cute pictures of my dog.
