Hey, I’m Melanie—your intuitive photographer, gentle guide, and professional third wheel for the wildly in love.

I specialize in elopements and micro weddings that are deeply intentional, wildly beautiful, and rooted in what matters most: your connection. If you’re dreaming of an intimate day on a rugged West Coast beach, exchanging vows barefoot under the forest canopy, or gathering with your nearest and dearest for a soulful celebration—you're in the right place.

I don’t just show up with a camera—I show up with my whole heart. I help my couples co-create a day that feels like you from start to finish. From custom location scouting and timeline planning to making sure you have cozy rain gear or time to slow dance under the stars—I’m here to hold space for you.

I’ve spent years honing not just my craft, but the entire experience I offer:

🌿 A seamless booking process that feels relaxed but professional
📷 A documentary-style approach with a dreamy, artful twist
💌 Resources, connection calls, and real human support along the way
🌀 Optional drone footage, keepsake zines, and behind-the-scenes reels that let you relive the magic in every way
🌊 Deep West Coast roots and local knowledge (hello, Hornby, Tofino, Strathcona and beyond)

My couples are often creatives, adventurers, or soulful folks who don’t quite fit the traditional mold—and who love that I don’t either. They care more about emotion than perfection, connection over production, and doing things their way. If that sounds like you, I can’t wait to meet.

Let’s make art from the love you live every day. Let’s craft a celebration that feels like home. And let’s make sure every moment is not only beautifully captured—but truly felt.
