Hi & Welcome! I'm Melanie
Let's get to know one another!
Details. Emotion. Textures. Moments.
Feel. Then shoot.
This amazing life allows me to be a little part of yours, at some of your most cherished and intimate moments, and I am honored by this. I love telling your stories. I have looked through the lens and shared the beauty of our world with it for almost my entire life. For all of this I am grateful. I believe the energy I bring to your wedding day is just as important as the photos I produce for you. On your wedding day, we will truly honor the celebration and joy of your day, and tell your love story.
For almost 15 years I have been documenting love stories, serving Wisconsin and NE Illinois couples in their intimate backyard and private estate ceremonies to their large celebrations at some of the area's most iconic wedding venues and churches. Your images will be authentic - not overly dark, not overly light... timeless with a modern feel. My work has been featured in Wedding Day Magazine, Wisconsin Bride Magazine, and Seattle Bride Magazine, and other online sources.

More About Me
The northwoods...
is my home away from home. Where I first fell in love with nature early in my childhood, and take my own family now. Where I go to relax, recharge, and renew. It's also what launched me into professional photography many moons ago, selling my art and nature prints at local art shows.
