unconventional wedding & Elopement photography in Santa cruz, California

My name is Melissa! I photograph weddings and elopements. I document sincere emotion and un-staged moments with a photojournalistic approach. I work with couples who want something more meaningful and personalized than traditional, cookie-cutter wedding photography. 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.
