Testimonials
“...Melanie's photography is beautiful and perfectly captured our special day. As a woman of color, I was very nervous about how my skin color would be depicted through the photos. I opened up to Melanie right away, informing her of my fear. She made sure I felt very comfortable, and even ensured that my skin color would shine in the photos. Upon seeing the end result, that was absolutely the case. I looked magnificent and my skin color radiated. I am so grateful for this experience of working with Melanie..”
Testimonials
“...Beyond the beauty of the photos aesthetically, what made us book Melanie was her ability to really capture the emotion of a moment. Pictures of my “first look” with my dad, photos of my husband & I gazing at each other as we walked down the aisle — what she captured was so immersive and so genuine, and I’m so glad those memories were able to be so perfectly encapsulated in our photos. As an added bonus, we got a sneak peek of around 100 photos less than 24 hours after our wedding...”

We hired Melanie for engagement pictures in downtown Boston, and Melanie made the experience so much fun! My fiancé and I felt so comfortable with Melanie, and the pictures were BEAUTIFUL. Melanie sent a very large sneak peak approx 48 hours after the photoshoot, and the entire album in 3 weeks. Boston & surrounding friends, I highly recommend using Melanie!!”
