Hey, Nice to Meet You!

I'm Mel Baxter!

Owner / Lead Photographer

I’m so happy you landed here! Your photographer should feel like your day’s hype person, someone who’s here to keep things fun, relaxed, and totally unforgettable. I love capturing the real moments—the laughter, the hugs, the big emotions—while also getting those gorgeous editorial shots you’ll want to frame forever. Whether it’s keeping your crew on track or helping you feel completely at ease in front of the camera, I’m here to make it all flow naturally and beautifully.

A Little More About Me

I grew up in the Bay Area doing musical theater, strumming my guitar, and of course taking countless photos of my friends. After moving to LA to pursue my love of the arts, I explored everything from acting to production before reconnecting with photography. Once I shot my first wedding, I knew immediately I found my calling. There’s nothing better than telling love stories through images and delivering galleries and albums that couples treasure forever.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me cuddling with my cats, cruising by the beach, or floating on a lake somewhere sunny.

If you’re ready to make some magic together, let’s chat—I’d love to hear your story!
