It’s always special when an amazing couple brings an extra-special venue to life. That’s exactly what happened at Julia and Elliot’s wedding last year at The Broadmoor. It may be one of my favorite venues of all time but Julia and Elliot, plus their family and friends made the venue feel even more full of joy and happiness than usual. I loved photographing their wedding alongside the amazing Kelly of Kelly Erin Photography. The weather was absolutely perfect and these two radiated joy the entire day. It was an honor to spend the day with them and alongside a talented Colorado wedding photographer. Julia and Elliot, I wish you both nothing but the very best! Cheers to a beautiful couple.

ABOUT MELISSA

Believer in lifelong love, passionate about morning golden hour, exploring new places and the emotions forever frozen through photography.

One of my favorite memories in childhood was sneaking away with my sister and looking through old photo albums, especially our parent's wedding album. We loved seeing our grandparents, family members
and family friends in those pages. We imagined what they were laughing about and what songs they were dancing to. We giggled and loved every minute of holding that gold and white album in our hands. Providing those happy, tangible and emotional memories for my clients is one of my favorite parts of wedding photography.

I grew up in the Chicagoland suburbs and I love the variety that the area offers in wedding venues and locations for your engagement session. The amount of options here are pure perfection. But pairing my love for new places with my passion for wedding photography is a wonderful adventure. I crave the adventure and excitement that a new
places offers, all while bringing the MSP experience to each and every
spot l travel to with my couples.

My husband Rob and I have been together for over thirteen years and when I'm not serving my amazing clients you can find us traveling, spoiling our pup Wally (a 7 year old Border Collie, Husky and German Shepherd mix) and trying new restaurants...but probably ordering something similar every time.

I pride myself on offering my couples a creative, high-touch, seamless wedding photography experience from start to finish. I will share tips and tricks learned over many years of photographing weddings, so your day can be as stress-free as possible and you feel comfortable in front of the camera. I look forward to learning about you and your partner.
