Maribel & Edgar,

Thank you so much for reaching out! When I read that you want your day to feel like a movie, I got so excited, because that's exactly how I love to approach wedding days!

I'll be looking for the story in all of it: the big, sweeping scenes and the quiet glances in between. Paired with a great videographer, you'll have a day you can relive frame by frame.

I can't wait to hear more about the two of you and everything you're dreaming up.

I'm so excited to document your story.

Hi, I'm Melody

I'm a Houston and destination wedding photographer who grew up in Portland, Oregon, which is where my love for nature, adventure, and photography began.

On your day, I'm there to create art you'll look back on for the rest of your lives, to document your story as it unfolds, and to hold every moment of your journey with care.

I edit every single image myself, so your gallery comes back true to color, warm, and full of life.

Intentional storytelling for the wildly in love
