Get to know the person behind the lens
Hi, I’m Melodey—your photographer, hype woman, and gentle guide behind the lens. I specialize in capturing intimate, joy-filled moments that feel true to you—the in-between glances, the wild laughter, the quiet pauses that say everything without words.
With a heart for storytelling and an eye for soft, timeless imagery, I’m here to help you feel at ease, celebrated, and seen. Whether we're exploring the coastline or cozying up in your favorite spot, I create space for connection to unfold naturally—so your photos reflect your story, not just a pose.
Based in Hawaiʻi and always dreaming of my next destination, I work with couples who value emotion, artistry, and the kind of memories that last long after the moment has passed.

My love and passion for photography blossomed when in high school. In my free time, I love getting movement in walking in nature or weightlifting, enjoying my favorite coffee shop, or at home binging my favorite shows or watching my favorite influencers on YouTube!
In 2024, I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Entrepreneurship from the University of Hawaii at Manoa, and at my previous institution, an Associates Degree in Physical Education and some background in Nutrition. I’ll possibly share my crazy college journey story if I get the chance to meet ya and indulge in other fun topics to connect with you!

“When we first met Melodey, she had this warm and inviting aura about herself.
As anxious and nervous as Jordan and I were, she was able to calm our nerves and helped us feel more comfortable in front of the camera. This was our first photoshoot EVER, and I felt like I didn't have to ask any questions because they were already answered.
From even offering a vendor guide and even updating us about the location and weather - we really appreciated that and it shows how much Melodey cares about her craft. Even though there were other people shooting at the location, we truly feel all her focus was on us. Even from hyping us up with every shot you took, our energies were able to bounce off of each other making this experience so much more memorable.
Even though we're in the same age group, I think Melodey’s work and personality can cater to all age groups. Jordan and I are so in love with Melodey’s work, we definitely would love to see Melodey again with Lilo (and maybe a baby??) this time.”
