A Tailor-Made Approach to the Raw Moments of Your Love Story
After filming and photographing weddings in Orange County for 13 years, Melissa has learned how to provide a tailor-made experience, creatively weaving the raw moments of a couple's love story together. From the gentle caress of a partner's hand, to the sound of all of their best friends belting their favorite 90s jam on the dance floor, she is dedicated to capturing not just moments, but the real and raw, intricate emotions and senses that make a celebration and a love story unique.
Because every couple is unique, the experience with Melissa should be, too. Whether a couple is looking for a custom package, or wants to shoot their engagement photos somewhere, as she puts it, "freakin' wild," they can expect a tailored experience made just for them and their best friend.
A wedding day shouldn't feel like a production. It should be fun, a celebration of love, surrounded by everyone a couple knows and loves, all in one place. Wedding photos and film are meant to document memories candidly and authentically as they unfold. Couples should feel free to be themselves, and feel like themselves when they look back at their memories, like the images capture the most real version of who they are. It's a reaction Melissa hears again and again when couples open their gallery for the first time: "these feel like us."
Melissa creates space for the intentional moments woven throughout a couple's story and their wedding day.
Meet Mel, the photographer & filmmaker behind Milk & Honey Film Co. in Orange County
"Hi, I'm Mel! I've been shooting weddings for 13 years now. I'm originally from Ohio, but moved to Orange County 10 years ago. I met my hubs Ramon here, and we now have a cutie baby girl named Poppy!
I absolutely love what I do, that's why I've been shooting weddings for so long, and I truly come alive telling love stories and being part of my couples' wedding days! Every couple's unique story helps inspire me to shoot the way that I do, personalized to their quirks and "isms," how they met, their love languages, their personalities, all of it!
So if you're looking for someone who invites you to be your carefree selves and intentionally tells your story with natural and authentic films and photos, I'm your gal."
