It's about more than hiring someone to hold a camera and snap a few pics. Wedding photography is about carefully crafting and capturing the moments of your big day in a way that beautifully tells the story of your love.

MELISSA GAINES, THE PHOTOGRAPHEr
GET TO KNOW ME
Fueled by equal parts Diet Coke and passion, my sessions are all about capturing the kind of moments that make you stop, smile and wish time would slow down. Your love, your family’s story, is unique and beautiful. I can’t wait to hang out and capture it in images for years to come.
My front porch is where I do my best thinking. I believe in real moments and heartfelt conversations. Sure, I want to know about your day— but I also want to talk about what makes you tick. Do you love finding yourself lost in the night sky? What Hogwarts house would you be in and why? Are you a dog person?
Great. Me, too. Let’s talk.

Melissa is just wonderful! She is so easy to work with and did such a beautiful job of capturing our family’s true fun and joy in our family pictures. This is not an easy task with a 3 year old, but she did it effortlessly. She makes sure no one feels awkward and that everyone is having fun, which is another reason why her pictures are great- the smiles are genuine! I will definitely be using her to capture our family for years to come!”
