Melissa is a Breckenridge based Wedding and Elopement Photographer

"Melissa is an excellent photographer and was a fantastic person to work with on our special day! She arrived calm, collected, and ready to get cracking. At that point, it seemed like chaos but Melissa stepped in and took charge knowing exactly what she needed to do. She had a great attitude and every guest that interacted with her had great things to say. The cherry on top is that she takes amazing photos and has a unique eye for capturing the shot! Highly recommend!!!!"

"Jared and I have known, Melissa, since college. I knew then her talents were gifts and it was a pleasure following her work and growth of her business. She was my first choice as a photographer but because of the distance, I was hesitant to reach out to her when we became engaged, assuming she would not be willing to travel. Oh, I was wrong and glad of it! From the Outer Banks to the Appalachians, she traveled from Colorado twice to 2 separate locations in North Carolina to capture our engagement session and wedding day. Jared and I are NOT natural models but she definitely made us feel relaxed during our engagement session which made us all the more comfortable and natural the day of the wedding. The morning of the wedding her 2nd shooter's detail was shooting the groom and groomsmen while Melissa was with the bridesmaids and myself. Jared and I loved working with them separately and then thoroughly enjoyed coming together for the capturing of our first look and through the rest of our big day. Paying for their services was well worth it. We would not have been more pleased working with any other photographers and the photos turned out beautifully. My only regret was not hiring them to capture our entire wedding weekend and rehearsal. We will definitely stay in touch and reach out to her in capturing all our lives’ important milestones"

I am a Colorado native, who left for a while but just couldn't stay away from the mountains. I have been a photographer for 10 years now and my passion for adventures, weddings, and seeing couples in love continues to grow. I am usually the tourist in Breckenridge taking the pics with my phone, "ooo-ing" and "aaah-ing" at the mountains. The scenery here never gets old!

Let's talk about your wedding day. There will be tears...they might be mine...but that's normal.

"But melissa, How are you different than all of the other photographers?" You ask. Well, Let me tell you. I am obsessed with dogs and my mom thinks i'm special. But really, when you are in front of my camera, I let you be you. I capture your emotions, and your personalities. I make you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and by the end of the session I feel like i've gained two friends! i usually stay in touch with my couples long after their weddings! We get brunch, or obsess over our animals together.

I love to photograph all kinds of weddings and elopements, in Breckenridge and beyond! Whether you're looking to have a more intimate wedding in the san juan mountains, or have a couple hundred guests at a beautiful venue, I'll be there for you (que the friends theme song)!
