                    WELCOME!

                       so glad you're here





My passion is to make you and your fiance' feel at ease in front of the camera, using a relaxed, fun and natural approach so you can fully enjoy the moment while I document your love story effortlessly.


I capture love stories with a blend of candid emotion and intimate editorial elegance—preserving your wedding day in a way that feels natural, joyful, and true to you.


Together with my "hot latin queen" Alegna, we make it our goal to provide couples with fun, intimate and timeless photos. While I'm passionate about freezing this special moment in time to be cherished forever, I also love celebrating the union of two souls becoming one. Marriage is undeniably one of life's greatest love journey two people can embark on. I married my best friend 21 years ago, and couldn't imaging a more rich and beautiful life, this is the lens by which I view and photograph your story.

KIND WORDS


Mel and Alegna's services were top tier. We will be referring them to everyone we know for photography and videography services. Their professionalism shone through as they provided guidance and assisted in ensuring our timeline of events was kept. They made sure to capture all of your moments the day of the event but their excellent customer service began from the date of hire. Mel checked in with us regularly prior to the wedding to ensure all our bases were covered prior to the event, truly exhibiting his knowledge of how crazy things get the day of! From the beginning, we were drawn to how easy it was to communicate with Mel and his genuine excitement at participating in making our vision come to life. We saw our sneak peek recently and cannot wait to see the final product. I recommend their photography and videography services to ensure a seamless and timeless event!
