Meet your photographer

Hey, I’m Melissa.

I’m drawn to the real, in-between moments — the ones that can’t be staged. With a balance of gentle direction and a documentary approach, I’ll help you feel at ease so your photos reflect how it all actually felt.

Alongside me is my husband Josh, capturing video in the same natural, seamless way — so everything flows effortlessly and nothing feels overdone.

Vermont wedding photographer
capturing it as it felt

Based in Vermont, I photograph weddings across New England and beyond — always with the same approach: keeping things natural, easy, and true to you.

Whether it’s a full wedding day, something more intimate, or a quiet moment in between, my focus is on creating images that feel honest and lasting.

Nothing overly posed. Nothing overcomplicated.
Just moments that bring you right back to it.

“Melissa and Josh are a true team, bringing a remarkable blend of artistry, warmth, and professionalism to everything they do.”

“Melissa truly felt like a friend—kind, thoughtful, funny, and so easy to be around. She made us feel completely comfortable, and our photos look natural, joyful, and completely us.”

A little bit about us 🤍

When we’re not photographing weddings, we’re usually outside somewhere — paddle boarding in the summer, hiking through every season, or camping in our little A-frame pop-up.

Most of the time, we’ve got our rescue dog Stella with us — she’s a little dramatic, but she keeps things interesting.

We’ve built a life that’s centered around being outside, slowing down, and actually enjoying the moments we’re in — and that naturally carries into the way we photograph weddings, too.

So happy you’re here
