okc wedding photographer:

I've been documenting weddings + elopements all over the U.S. for the last 7 years.

You deserve an experience that is unique to you too. Which is why I am so passionate about helping you beyond just showing up to snap photos.

I specialize in documenting weddings in a way that feels authentic, natural, and timeless. Based in Oklahoma I have a deep appreciation for the golden light that we love + yes even the windy unpredictable weather at times.

My love language is serving couples on one of the most important days of their life, and that looks different for every couple.

I am here to document your day in a way that feels true to you. I am never going to tell you we are "running behind" or try to make you do something that is completely unnatural to you. I want you to look back on your photos 50 years from now and actually remember the memories in those photos. Not that you were being rushed through portrait after portrait or worried about things looking "perfect". I'm guessing if you are here, that is exactly what you want too.

I am here to help make your okc wedding intentional + unforgettable

Whether you are having your wedding on family land, the Church you grew up on or a traditional wedding venue, you can make your day unique to the two of you. But with all that freedom, it can be hard to know where to start! Here are some ideas and things to consider as you plan your okc wedding.


Making your okc wedding unique + intentional

Intimate. Intentional. Authentic.

Rugged. Intentional. Authentic.

you deserve a stress free day that feels like you.

getting to know you and your love story

Whether you've grown up in Oklahoma your whole life or you are choosing OKC to say your 'I dos" because you found the perfect venue here. No two weddings are just alike, so you won't be stuffed into a box around here.

You want to enjoy ever moment together on your wedding day. You value the love between the two of you + want that reflected in your photos. But you also don't want to be shuffled from one thing to the next like a big production. I got you.

I value getting to know the two of you. Your love story, what makes you come alive, the vision for your day. Your wedding day is so much more than a photo opt to me. It is a celebration of the two of you + your love story that will leave a legacy.

"To write a review of Mel as simply our wedding photographer doesn’t even come close to capturing the blessing she was to us on our wedding/elopement day as well as in the months leading up to it. 
She is the most genuinely kind, helpful, organized and thoughtful person when it comes to being prepared for whatever your day may throw you. She then handles any twists and turns with such an experienced hand and a casual ease that made us so comfortable to enjoy the day knowing she’s got our back! When I booked Mel she not only became our day-of photographer but jumped whole heartedly into the efforts from timeline planning and checklist writing to showing up with a full emergency kit stocked with anything we could’ve possibly needed in a pinch. 
We could not have asked for any more in terms of preparation and communication, the way she conducted herself and her clear level of experience and expertise and to top it all of we just received our photos and we are absolutely BLOWN AWAY by her talent. 
There are a ton of big decisions to be made when planning an elopement or wedding day and some that you may even question after you’ve made them. Booking Mel was one of the easiest and best decisions we made and every day it just became more clear that she was the perfect choice. Get on her books — you will absolutely not regret it!!!"

"I CANNOT recommend Mel enough! She is truly the best! She can make anyone and everyone look good, her fun laid back personality makes the session WAY more enjoyable (coming from a couple who hates having their picture taken) From helping coordinate and plan up to the big day Mel was there the whole time, no matter the challenge she is always willing to lend a helping hand or give you her honest opinion! Her work is truly unmatched! We are forever grateful to have had her at all of our special moments this far!"

Tips for your okc wedding:

Tips for your okc wedding

where to start

Planning your wedding consists of 4 main things. Vision, experience, guest list, and budget. Decide which aspects of each category are most important to the two of you and start planning accordingly.

you don't have to be stressed

Start with your top few vendors. Your non-negotiable aspects of your day. Once you have those top 2-3 big things booked  and planned, you can relax a bit and enjoy the rest of your wedding planning with a bit more ease.

I believe in more than just showing up and taking pictures—I invest in my couples. I take the time to understand your love story, your vision, and what’s most important to you. Whether we’re hiking to a remote overlook for your engagement photos or dressing up in downtown OKC, I’ll be right there alongside you—not just as your photographer, but as someone fully present for your day.

If you’re looking for a photographer who will make your OKC wedding feel effortless, meaningful, and unforgettable—let’s talk. I’d love to capture your story.
