A Girl In Love Photography

I'm Melissa: Melissa means "honey bee' in Greek and I have 8 honey bees tattooed across my back. I love movies, daydreaming, leftover Chinese take out and being married. I'm addicted to learning new things and take online classes all the time. I LOVE to make mixes and I'm always updating a running playlist of songs that I'm listening to - some I love, some old favorites, and some that I want to hear again before I make a decision. I've been photographing weddings for over 10 years, I love it. Every day is different and every day is special! What more could a photographer ask for!

I l capture the amazing connections between people during events. I love being able to tell every bit of it the whole story. The nervous getting ready, the deep breaths, the kiss, the hugs, the laughs, the cheers, the dancing. I love that I get to do all of that and still create beautiful, artistic portraits in the most wonderful places in the world. I don't pretend the camera isn't there, but I don't make it a big deal. Sessions are a collaboration and they can be as relaxed as a walk downtown or as planned as renting out a theater and stage.
