Bonjour! Ciao! Hola!

Hey there! I’m Melissa – your go-to destination wedding photographer based in the beautiful Oceanside, CA. When I’m not capturing love stories in stunning locations, you can usually find me at home with my three sassy cats, plotting my next big adventure, or working on my latest burlesque performance. Yes, I’m also a professional burlesque performer (I even make my own costumes - pretty rad huh?)

I’m a total reality TV junkie, and if you ever want to chat about Drag Race or the latest season of the Bachelor, I’m so in. But beyond the glam and the glitter, I have a passion for helping small business owners level up their marketing and social media game, which is something I love teaching when I’m not behind the camera.

I’m all about traveling and meeting people from all walks of life, so whether you’re planning a tropical beach wedding or something a little more adventurous, I’m here to help tell your love story through my lens. Let’s make some magic happen!

I’d love to meet you!
