Marrik & Brayden,

Thank you so much for reaching out, and congratulations! I am so excited for you two!

Editorial and classic is one of my very favorite styles to create: clean, timeless portraits paired with all the real, joyful moments in between. A December wedding is so cozy and romantic, and I can already picture how beautiful your photos will be.

I genuinely can't wait to get to know you both and hear 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
