NICE TO MEET YOU, I'M MEL!

& I LOVE CAPTURING LOVE STORIES.

A fantasy inspired wedding photographer with a serious case of wanderlust. I love experiencing new cultures, seeking out charming castles, being outside in nature, and capturing real-life fairytales.

I'm from a small town just outside Washington DC in the States, but my photography has taken me all over the world! My partner also lives in London, so I’ve been fortunate enough to spend a lot of time there and experience it as a local. We also just welcomed a baby girl in 2025, so half the year I'm in the UK visiting her dad and family!

I absolutely adore all dogs — I have two rotten labradors name Dany & Belle. You can catch me gushing over Game of Thrones (to this day!) and House of the Dragon, and exploring every nook and cranny of the United Kingdom and Europe.

Everyone deserves a fairytale beginning, and I would love to capture your love story!

HOW THE BUSINESS BEGAN

In between classes as a psych major at Shepherd University, I would explore Shepherdstown and it's quirky, adorable surrounding areas with a camera I borrowed from a friend. A facebook post of images I took of a friend's engagement got so much attention that I started saving for my very first DSLR.

In 2015, someone asked me to photograph their wedding and I was TERRIFED! I ended up falling madly in love with it went from capturing 6 weddings that year to 35 weddings the next.. and for over ten years I've been fortunate enough to see so many tears, laughs, and love stories in some beautiful places.
