About

Hello!

I’m so honored you’re here, learning more about wedding photography and Melissa Hirsch Photography.

You may be wondering: Why are you a wedding photograppher?

Growing up, I had a lot of trouble fitting in – though many people who knew me then might be surprised to hear that. I could play the part and smile and get along, so things looked OK on the outside, but inside, they were not.

I remember fantasizing about falling in love, getting married, and living happily ever after to create that feeling of belonging I craved.

And despite how ridiculous and unrealistic that sounds, it happened to me.

It looked nothing like I thought it would. There were difficulties and struggles along the way. But it happened.

I fell in love with an incredible man, and weirdly enough he loved me, too.

I know what love can do. I know its magic and its power. And that’s why I do what I do.

I want to know YOUR story. I capture you feeling that sense of acceptance and belonging that little girl dreamed about. I want to honor and celebrate that moment you start your new life together.

The quote that drives my whole business is by my favorite photographer, Annie Leibovitz.

“A thing you will see in my photos is that I’m not afraid to fall in love with these people.”

I hope you can see that love in my photos when I tell YOUR wedding story.
