It's no secret that there are a million photographers for you to choose from. So, why choose me?
Aside from the stunning photos I aim to create, I am told that it's my personality clients love most about shooting with me.
I'm a little bit weird with a big sense of humour. A ~good vibes only~ gal, if you will. My love of beautiful things is what brought me into capturing weddings but it's my passion for people that keeps me thriving in this role.
I’m a suburban gal originally from Oshawa, Ontario. In 2018 I met the love of my life and by 2019 our love brought me out west to plant some roots and start our life together. We now have a beautiful home in Beaumont, Alberta, two exuberant pups, and our own wedding to plan to keep us busy.
When I’m not out snapping photos I can be found exploring some of the beautiful scenery Alberta has to offer, at the dog park with my fur babies, or curled up on the couch with a bowl of penne alfredo pasta, watching The Bachelor.
Let’s go on adventure. Take me to your favourite place, I’ll put on a playlist you love, and we’ll make some beautiful memories!
hey, i'm melody

My Philosophy
Think of me like an extension of your bridal party. Here to make your wedding day as beautiful as it can be, both aesthetically (through the images you'll look back on) and emotionally.
A friend, a confidant, a trusted advisor; here to share with you in all the joyous moments and curate a gallery of images that reflect the thought and detail you put into every aspect of your big day.
My relaxed approach behind the camera helps to ensure that you always feel comfortable and confident in front of my lens, leaving you with a wedding album you can't take your eyes off of.
"There are few things that inspire me more than a beautiful wedding day."

My Philosophy
A number of years ago I realized that I have a terrible memory. I would think back to an event I had just attended and wonder why I didn’t remember the pieces everyone else were still raving about. I experimented for a while with different ways to improve my memory and I found so much success in using photos to document the places I visited and the people I spent time with, in order to preserve those memories in my brain. I started creating art out of the photographs I had taken and this creative expression quickly became my favourite pastime.
Eventually, it occurred to me that there are many people who deserve to have precious moments preserved with beautiful photographs as well. It was this thought that started my professional career as a photographer. I very quickly fell in love with telling your love stories.
What a gift it is for my clients to put their trust and faith in me to capture the most precious moments in your lives. Moments that you’ll look back on for the rest of your time on this planet.
That’s why I’m here; to share my passion for capturing love, laughter, and emotion you can FEEL when you look back on the photographs we take together,
for generations to come.

My Philosophy
Wondering what it's like to have me as your wedding photographer?
I will be present with you the whole way through to help ensure the day flows smoothly. Having attended my fair share of weddings, I can anticipate what may be needed at any given time and be there to preserve all the best parts.
Whether you'd like me to arrive at first light to capture the mother-of-the-bride and the bridal squad helping the bride get ready, or snap a few of the groomsmen sneaking a couple of drinks to calm their nerves. I'll arrive buzzing with energy to capture one of the most important, memorable days in your lives.
From documenting the getting ready prep, through to the ceremony, first kiss to bridal party portraits, grand entrance at the reception and even the afterparty, I’ll be there in the centre of it all (or as a wallflower, behind the scenes, if you prefer), photographing moments and details that you might’ve missed (like Auntie Doris getting drunk on the d-floor).
Whether you prefer that I stick to purely candid shots or want me pose you for more curated, styled shots, I won't miss a moment.
Rain, Hail Or Shine, I Won’t Miss A Beat.

My Philosophy
If we've ever met, there's a strong chance I've mentioned my love for pasta...When it comes to food I'm a bit of a plain Jane but that might be the only aspect of my life that most would call "boring".
I have a passion for fashion and am a bit of a home decor junkie. I also enjoy a bit of sarcasm, being my weird lil self, and having a laugh with the people I value most.
Harry Potter marathons are (at least) a semi-annual occurrence in my house and I'm a sucker for reality/dating shows. The Bachelor(ette), Love Island, and The Real Housewives are just a few of my guilty pleasures.
That’s a teeny little peek into my life but don't worry, you'll learn all the other parts that make me, me when we're shooting together. ;)
No matter who and where we are, we’re all souls wandering this beautiful earth, with a different story to share. No tale is one and the same. And that’s why I LOVE documenting love stories (and hopefully yours too!)”
