Hi! I'm an unconventional wedding photographer in Northern California.

My name is Melissa! I photograph weddings and elopements for couples who's main priority is creating intentional, meaningful memories with their loved ones. I document sincere emotion and unstaged moments with a photojournalistic approach. If you're looking for someone who won't make you fake a laugh or turn your wedding into a photoshoot, let's talk.

I'm based in Santa Cruz, California and also serve Big Sur, Carmel, Tahoe and beyond.
