Traveling has been a passion of mine since I got my first passport at 6 months old (no joke!) I sat on my moms lap and made gaga sounds at the photographer. I started traveling alone at age 6 to visit my Aunt in Missouri every Summer. I haven't stopped since. Where I go, my camera follows. I love experiencing new places and capturing each one in my own way.
As I was pulling images from each of our weddings this year I got an overwhelming feeling of gratification. I am so blessed to have met each and every one of my clients and each of them touch my heart in a different way! I am completely humbled by the people I have met, new friends I have made and the current friendships that have been made stronger. I wish I could hug each and every one of my blog followers – I am so grateful for you!!
2010 was a big year of change for me. I traveled more for business and personal time than ever before (84 days = the amount I was away from home!), Tim and I decided to mutually split up, I won Bridal Insider’s Photographer of the Year, was published in some awesome magazines/online blogs and I turned 30 years old! It was a definitely roller coaster but would not change one thing.
I look forward to an even better 2011 with new couples, some returning clients and all my future brides and grooms! I hope you all have a prosperous and eventful 2011!
xoxo, Melissa

Being part of your 2010 wedding crew, I feel pretty honored too. Not only do we have the most beautiful and memorable photos from our Maui-licious wedding, but I feel like we have a great new friend. You are the best Mel. <3
I always love your yearly recaps. Great work in 2010! Happy new year to you Melissa!
That was so sweet! We are just as grateful to have you in our lives, not only as our photographer, but also as our friend. We shared a really great week together 🙂 xoxo
Woo hoo! Looking forward to being on the montage next year! Love ya!
Blog stalking you over the last year made me really sad… Wish I’d heard about you before my wedding. I have wedding picture envy. Congrats on year!
