"I'm not like a regular wedding photographer, I'm a cool wedding photographer." Besides the times that I'm making Mean Girls references ;)
My grandparents used to call me the energizer bunny when I was young, and that title still rings true today (haha). Throughout your engagement season, (and especially on wedding day!) I'll do my best to make every part of the process smooth and FUN! This is a time to CELEBRATE- not be stressed and overwhelmed.
On wedding day, you can find me pulling people out of their shells and making sure they feel comfortable in front of the camera. Do you have that one family member who never smiles? I'll make it my mission to capture an authentic smile! It's also *almost* a guarantee that I'll be out on that dance floor with y'all at the end of the night!

Yes! Travel cost is included in pricing in my packages if it’s within 100 miles of Orange, CA!
Not unless you choose to purchase add-ons after you've confirmed your package details and the initial contract has been signed. If that's the case, you'll just pay the additional cost for whichever add on, and you'll receive an addendum to the contract, All pricing includes taxes, cost of travel, licensed music, rental gear, shooting time, editing, equipment wear and tear coverage, and delivery expenses.
Highlight videos and longer edits typically take between 4 to 6 months to deliver. Final photos are typically between 3 to 4 months! But I try to deliver everything even sooner!
We work together to find music that y'all adore! Whether you want to take the reigns and send me your top picks, or you'd rather not have an extra thing to worry about, I've gotchu!

"What we loved most about working with Mel is that she makes the experience so fun! Being in front of a camera can be intimidating but she helped us pose, helped us feel more comfortable, and truly made it a fun time! She worked to capture such special moments without us feeling like it was all staged. Another key factor that we appreciate is her effort to make sure we got what we wanted. She asked questions leading up to each event to see if there were specifics that we had in mind, which especially mattered to us in capturing family moments at the wedding! 10/10 recommend working with Melissa!"
Michelle & Jon
"Melissa was an absolute JOY to work with! If you are looking for someone you can easily trust to get the perfect video and photos on your special day then you need to hire Milk and Honey Film Co. Melissa took the time to get to know us and just what we were looking for. We never felt the least bit awkward through the photos, and working with Melissa felt like working with a best friend! Cannot recommend her enough!!"
Taylor & Tony
"What sets Mel apart is how much she genuinely cares about her clients. She takes the time to really get to know them, & to understand their unique stories and personalities.
With Mel, it felt effortless. The whole experience felt more like a fun date than a photoshoot. Then when we received our photos back, I was stunned. She really has a rare talent for capturing the true essence of people, not just their physical appearance."
You want to relive re-live every moment- and be pleasantly surprised by the sweet and hilarious in-between moments that you may have missed. Years from now, you'll want to remember who was there. You'll want to remember the vows and toasts that made you cry your makeup off, and that euphoric feeling after being announced as husband and wife! Imagine cuddling up next to your grandchildren one day, and letting them relive the day that Grandma and Grandpa said "I-do". Maybe it even becomes a tradition to watch your video each year on your anniversary! Whatever you're dreaming of, I'd love to be a part of making it happen!
I'm so beyond excited for the possibility of partying with y'all on your wedding day and being part of this season of your life!
