Being a photographer is something I adore.  Meeting new people, finding a way to capture their memories, interactions & emotion, it all makes for a very satisfying days work.  I don't like to think that hiring a photographer always requires a formal occasion, it might just be you'd like to be in the pictures with the rest of your family for once! Big or small, I love it all! (this dose of cheesy was ode to Dr. Seuss)

I've been involved in many weddings, in fact that's me, circa 2003 - taking pictures at a wedding I was also a bridesmaid in.  My camera has evolved, and it has bits and bobs that tower a bit taller now, but the joy and excitement I felt taking shots that day remains with me and grows with every event I'm asked to attend.

To be asked to share in someone's special day is an honor I can't even begin to explain.  Through every step of the process I'm eager to hear your thoughts and share your excitement.  From preliminary meetings, engagement shoots (which are some of my favorites - and make the wedding day that much more comfortable), getting ready to the last dance, I can't wait to get home and cull through the proofs and share with you the treasures I found within. 

You'll find many photos on my site! In the left menu galleries, in the full galleries & events links, and you can always follow my most recent adventures in my blog! I welcome questions or comments and I encourage you all to say hello!

All the best ~ Melissa
