Hey there! Glad you stopped by, I'm Melanie and I've been a visual storyteller for over 7 years now! As a passionate West Coaster, I'm all about finding moments of beauty within the environment and wherever we can. I would classify myself as a people person because I love capturing moments for souls to keep for themselves. I love Vancouver because it's the perfect combination of being close enough to the mountains to explore the wilds, yet only a short walk away from the sweetest coffee shop to share stories with friends or meet new people. I'm constantly searching for the best pockets of light in the places that are precious to my friends and clients. There are so many beautiful locations to discover! I value respect, joy and passion for life and I would love to show you how I can capture beautiful imagery to incorporate artistry into the day to day. I'm honoured to work with amazing clients who value photography and can attest to its impact on their lives. What are the names of my packages? The environment has played a big role in my life and I want to share a little piece of that so I named all of my packages after my favourite BC trees! Proudly serving the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC Community
"It's not what we have in life, but who we have in our life that matters." Elopements are such beautiful occasions of love. I especially love elopements because of the intimacy they afford: it's just you, your loved one, and the people that mean the world to you. As a photographer, it's my goal to ensure you'll have gorgeous elopement photos to look back on for the rest of your lives -- from the vows, to the kiss, to the formal photos with your closest family and friends. My camera has followed me everywhere for over nine years. My style as a photographer is to look for the little moments: when you're brimming with happy tears walking up the aisle, or bear-hugging your best friends who you haven't seen in months. With me, you can rest assured that those priceless moments won't go missed -- and you'll be able to keep reliving them long after you've said "I do."

You've known each other for longer than you can remember, you keep no secrets from each other, and you both go to each other first when you have exciting news. Now one of you is approaching an exciting milestone, and you know you have to get her the PERFECT gift. That's how you ended up here. You want to give your best friend in the whole world the best wedding/graduation/birthday/new mom gift in the whole world. You want to give her something more than just an item or an experience that will be over before you know it. So you've decided to give her an experience based photoshoot. Photos of the two of you, and maybe even a group of friends, enjoying life together! Something different from wedding portraits or family photos. The most real and authentic moments that encapsulate your relationship captured in images that are hard to get on an phone! This way not only will you spend TIME making memories together, you will also leave the experience with high quality, beautifully stylized, and extremely unique and personal images that you can go back to and relive the day through for years to come. I am so excited to work with you to make this the perfect gift for your best friend, and work together to create something beautiful, memorable, and unique!
