I am A photographer that truly believes a photograph is so much more than a memory; a photograph can truly allow you to feel your day all over again for the rest of your lives. When it comes to documenting the story of your most special day, it's about more than just "capturing the moment". It's about photographing the authentic emotions and all the seconds in-between so you can relive your day decades after it's gone as if it just happened yesterday.
Working with and being photographed by me is said to be like working with your best friend (almost every review mentions this to some degree). I am really great at seamlessly blending into your family and wedding parties and I know how to create an ease and warmth with everyone I meet.
I truly believe that fostering relationships with not only you and your partner, but also your families and friends, allows me to become one with your wedding celebration and, in turn, creates space for me to capture the beautiful story of your day.Having your wedding photos to look back at is about being able to feel everything all over again.

Services
We are Melissa and Chris (and we made the cutest little ginger you've ever seen, Oliver)!
A wife and (often) husband team who love documenting our client's lives.
Whether it's the good stuff, the emotional stuff, the big stuff or little stuff.
It all matters.
Your life and memories matter.
Wedding days are full of emotions as well as moments both big and small.
We're usually a couple of flies on the wall until we need to be the directors.
We're nowhere and everywhere all at the same time.
We're also never afraid to bust some moves on the dance floor and eat dessert and be your silent cheerleaders whenever you need it.

I hopped on Instagram the other day to chat about 3 tips for setting boundaries with your clients within your business.
The truth is, I used to struggle with boundaries.
I have spent years in my business being "on" all the time.
Holidays?
On.
Vacations?
Weekends?
Always on.
I never knew how to set.
Jason and Matthew are embarking a new adventure together very soon.

It all depends on your wedding day, but here are some places to start: 8 hour weddings with 2 photographers begin at $5000 and elopements begin at $2400.
I do offer different package options because I know everyone has a different budget, so please don't hesitate to ask! Engagements, family lifestyle, and portrait sessions begin at $600!
I am local to Sonoma County, but love to travel and try to do it as often as possible.
Travel costs fully depend on where you want me to go, but we can work together to figure out a great price for you and me!
