Carly & Ross,

Thank you so much for reaching out! I love what you've shared so far about your day, and that you want it documented from start to finish. Storytelling is my greatest passion, and I truly believe that your day is woven together by all of the little moments that happen so quickly.

I'd love to capture the anticipation before the wedding, all the joy through the day, and then turn the energy up once the sun goes down with bold, candid flash photos of you two and everyone you love celebrating!

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

I'd be honored 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
