Hey there! Glad you stopped by, I'm Melanie and I've been a visual storyteller for over 7 years now! As a passionate West Coaster, I'm all about finding moments of beauty within the environment and wherever we can. I would classify myself as a people person because I love capturing moments for souls to keep for themselves. I love Vancouver because it's the perfect combination of being close enough to the mountains to explore the wilds, yet only a short walk away from the sweetest coffee shop to share stories with friends or meet new people. I'm constantly searching for the best pockets of light in the places that are precious to my friends and clients. There are so many beautiful locations to discover! I value respect, joy and passion for life and I would love to show you how I can capture beautiful imagery to incorporate artistry into the day to day. I'm honoured to work with amazing clients who value photography and can attest to its impact on their lives. What are the names of my packages? The environment has played a big role in my life and I want to share a little piece of that so I named all of my packages after my favourite BC trees! Proudly serving the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC Community
Pacific Willow Wedding Package
Melanie Chapman Photography
A wedding day is a celebration more than anything, so let's capture the celebration and give yourself a beautiful memory to look back on. I want you to be able to put yourself back into the moment where you said 'I do' or 'heck yes' and relive the emotions. If you're looking for high-value half-day coverage that will cover all of the day's big moments (e.g. ceremony, family photos, mingling with guests), then the Pacific Willow Wedding Package is right for you. This package is perfect for couples looking for fewer hours than full-day coverage but who would still appreciate having high-quality images of their loves ones and the moments they shared. I want you to look back and remember the ear-to-ear smile as you saw your spouse for the first time, or the first time you saw your reflection, or the moment you burst into laughter at your best friend's stand-up improv. More than anything, I want you to walk away from this meaningful day knowing that you were able to do and experience everything you possibly wanted.

The Arbutus: Small Wedding Session
M.Legresley Photography
"It's not what we have in life, but who we have in our life that matters." Weddings are such beautiful occasions of love. I especially love small weddings because of the intimacy they afford: it's just you, your loved one, and the people that mean the world to you. As a photographer, it's my goal to ensure you'll have gorgeous wedding photos to look back on for the rest of your lives -- from the vows, to the kiss, to the formal photos with your family and wedding party. My camera has followed me everywhere for over nine years. My style as a photographer is to look for the little moments: when you're brimming with happy tears walking up the aisle, or bear-hugging your best friends who you haven't seen in months. With me, you can rest assured that those priceless moments won't go missed -- and you'll be able to keep reliving them long after you've said "I do."

Half Day Wedding
Bold Photos by Shelly Fey
This is your special day so let's make some memories! This Half Day Wedding Package is for those who want to capture the big moments of the day, but not necessarily the in-between, minor moments as much. You want around 300 beautifully edited images of the getting ready process, the ceremony, the reception, and an abundance of group photos of you, your family, and friends.
