the Process
the melanie joy wedding experience
She did an amazing job capturing every single aspect of our wedding day and made my husband and I feel so comfortable."
"Our experience with Melanie was phenomenal.
— Arienne & Peter
Melanie is so kind and easy to talk to; it's obvious she is invested in providing the best possible photos and experience.
Your wedding photos will be ready within 4 weeks of the wedding and are delivered through a beautifully organized online gallery for downloading, sharing and printing. I typically deliver 75-100 edited, high resolution JPEG images per hour of wedding coverage. I do not offer RAW files.
I use two Nikon Z6II bodies and a variety of Nikon lenses (my 85mm 1.8 and 50mm 1.4 are the favorites, but don't tell the other lenses). I use both on camera and off-camera flash to capture the party at the end of the day, and bring plenty of back up gear!
Yes, a second shooter is included for full wedding days. All my second shooters are experienced lead photographers who work with me during your wedding day to capture different angles and moments.
