I believe your couples photography experience should feel effortless and meaningful — a reflection of the connection you share. My couples value more than beautiful imagery; they’re drawn to authenticity, emotion, and moments that feel natural rather than staged. They trust me to create an environment where they can simply be themselves, while I gently guide when needed and capture the in-between moments that tell their story best. You can expect to feel comfortable, supported, and fully present with each other throughout our time together. Long after your gallery is delivered, what keeps couples coming back is not just the photographs — it’s the experience of celebrating their relationship and having those memories preserved in a timeless, heartfelt way.

When we look back at our photos, we feel so much joy—each image captures a genuine moment that we’ll cherish for years to come.”

Even though we’re not usually comfortable in front of the camera, she made the experience effortless and unforgettable. Our sunrise session was truly one of our favorite memories from the island.”

    — Maddie M.

  • “Melodey’s kind and personable energy immediately put us at ease. Since we’re not used to being in front of the camera, we were pretty nervous—but her calm guidance and confidence made the entire session feel natural and relaxed. She truly listened to our vision and brought it to life, and we couldn’t be happier with how our photos turned out.”

    — Kiani T.

  • “Melodey’s friendly and approachable energy made our session feel relaxed from the start. She was incredibly adaptable—even with our goofy dog joining us—and her confidence behind the camera helped everything flow naturally. The entire experience felt comfortable and professional, and we absolutely love the photos she captured.”

    — Emily A.

Your FAQs, Answered

  • To book, all that’s required is the date of your event, event location, and the minimum coverage you would like (you can always add more later! ). From there, I will send over a custom proposal for your signature and retainer payment. A 50% retainer is needed to reserve your event. Payment is handled through PayPal, Venmo, and my online website platform, Squarespace. After receiving your signature and retainer payment, the date is yours and you are all set!

  • Yes! Once you pay your 50% retainer to secure your session date, the remaining payment can be broken up into one 50% payment or two 25% payments. The default is the remaining 50% is due 48 hours prior to your session date. If you would like the second payment option, notify me in advance.

  • All photos are delivered through an online photo gallery, Pic-Time. There are high resolution photos meant for printing and web size images to store on your phone and post on social media available for download. You can also share the gallery link with your friends and family so everyone you’d like can have access to your gallery.

  • Yes! In fact, it is my dream to travel the world and I would be honored to meet you at wherever your destination will be. I am available on all Hawaiian islands, mainland USA, as well as abroad if need be! All destination clients have custom package quotes where travel fees are rolled into one making it easy to have me as your photographer no matter where you are.

  • In the chance I am unavailable, we can STILL work together - I can send an associate photographer in my place. This means I am still your point of contact up until the session day! A trusted photographer of my choosing will shoot your session in my place, deliver the RAW (unedited) files to me and I will edit your entire gallery!

  • You are not the first to say this! MOST people in fact feel this way! Let me tell you now, I will guide you along the entire time. I am very experienced working with all types of couples and families and completely understand the nerves that come with a camera following you around. I can say that we will have plenty of laughs throughout the day and won’t be awkward at all

  • While the weather forecast can only predict the weather outcome, i’m committed to provide the best experience. If we’re facing unfavorable conditions, we’ll either reschedule (availability pending) or help you pick an indoor location option or change to a part of the island that has more favorable conditions.

  • i don’t provide raw or unedited images, as i curate each photo to represent the quality and style of my work. you’ll receive a beautiful edited gallery that truly reflects your session experience.
