Megan & Hao,

Thank you so much for reaching out. The second I read “Pride and Prejudice meets Phantom of the Opera,” I was completely in.

A story like yours deserves to feel like a film: moody light, intimate moments, and all the quiet, romantic in-betweens. I'd love to lean into both the drama and the tenderness of your day, so that when you look back, it feels like stepping right into your own love story.

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
