Personable, professional and perfectly captured moments

Gazaway Arts has captured some of the most meaningful moments in my life, from my wedding to other special events. Melanie instantly puts you at ease with her bubbly, fun personality, and she has a true talent for capturing both the big moments and the little ones that matter most. By the end, she feels more like a friend than a photographer—highly recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A great wedding experience with Melanie

I booked Melanie as my niece’s wedding photographer and could not have been happier with the experience and photos. From the very first interactions via text and email she was very friendly and easy to talk to. It was a last minute booking, but Melanie really came through for us. Her communication was excellent and made my niece and her now husband feel at ease.

Melanie was lovely to work with and made the whole process feel smooth. Her services on the day of the wedding were amazing! She managed to capture all aspects of the ceremony from the bride and groom getting ready, guests arriving and waiting, special family moments before the ceremony, the ceremony, reception, etc. Her ability to be in multiple places at once and capture every detail was phenomenal.

She was great at capturing all the shots my niece requested. She also captured several candid moments from the reception and the private bride and groom dance that my niece and her husband will cherish. The quality and variety of the photos she produced are excellent. She really captured the emotion of the day. We received the finished images quickly and could not believe how stunning they were. I would recommend Melanie for any and all events. She was absolutely incredible and I cannot put into words how grateful I am to have had her capture the day so perfectly.

About

For over a decade, I have worked as a professional photographer capturing weddings, events, and portraits with a focus on creating high-quality, customized imagery. I am passionate about helping clients feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. Wedding photography is my passion, not just a payday. I love the experience of sharing in the joy and romance of each event and using my skills to capture and preserve each precious moment!

I began my career as a photographer in California and shot my first wedding in Malibu in 2005. Following a move to Albany, NY, I began booking weddings in earnest. I have over 100 weddings in my portfolio, with venues ranging from beaches to vineyards, elements from snow to hurricanes, and diverse couples of all walks of life. Gazaway Arts is an LGBTQ+ ally! I currently reside in Orlando, FL and am booking in Central Florida. I would love to work with you!
