I am a mom of two teens and a 7 year old, a former cake biz owner and derby car driver, and a BA Hons. Counselling Psych drop out. You can often find me barefoot in the grass, or nose deep in a crochet project to keep my idle hands busy.
I began as a family portrait photographer, but niched down after discovering my passion for couples photography, unique and intimate weddings, destinations and elopements.
I wasn't always a successful wedding photographer, you know

We first met Melissa for Christmas minis a couple years ago and ever since then there has been nobody else we want to take our photos! We see her annually for Christmas photos and she photographed our wedding last year. We could not have been happier with how our wedding photos turned out. Melissa was so up for our elopement in Killarney and came on a couple hour hike with us to take the pictures. I look at the pictures all the time and am still amazed with how perfect they are. I am not one that loves to have my picture taken but she has the personality to make you feel welcomed and comfortable in front of her camera. We can’t wait for more opportunities with her in the future :)

I couldn't be happier that we chose Melissa to shoot our wedding! She has such an eye for capturing spontaneous, beautiful, unposed moments - and her portraits are stunning! She was so fun to work with. I would highly recommend her to anybody!

Melissa's artistic creativity knows no bounds. Having her as our photographer was the best decision we ever made. She captured every shot tastefully and perfectly. Truly 10/10. Thank you for capturing our special day(s). We'll be sure to cherish it forever.
