"We've never had photos of just us."
"I want a gift that will leave her speechless."
"We never have time to just be alone together."
"We haven't taken photos together since our wedding 10 years ago."
"We just don't connect like we used to."
"We want to do something wildly different for date night."
"We've been through hell, but she's my rock."
If any of these statements resonate with you,
a Wanderlove Couple’s Photography Session
is the answer.
Wanderlove Sessions are a chance to
show up for your person and say to them,
“You matter to me.
I value our life together.
I see you and I want to be seen by you.”
In the face of this kind of openness and vulnerability, the rest of the world automatically fades away. You have a love story unlike anyone else’s. No one outside of your relationship can understand everything you have been through and faced together. Your love deserves to be tended to, exalted and documented so that your children and grandchildren will know that they came from a legacy of love.
How will your love story be remembered?
Part fairy tale, part quiet,
gritty love story
Wanderlove Sessions:
1. Feature the intimacy and vulnerability of your
love story set against the wilds of nature.
2. Celebrate the season of love you are in
along with the quiet, imperfect moments in between.
3. Capture the struggle, determination and glory
that inspire two people to live their lives as one.
Your love is worthy
of a legacy
Why a Wanderlove Session?
Everything changes so quickly and nothing is promised.
If we all lived with that as our understanding, we would experience so much more meaning and not give away the majority of our time to fleeting distractions. My purpose is to remind others to look while they have eyes and love while they have hearts to give.
Reconnect During the Ultimate Couple's Experience
How it works
Love Story Photography Guide
Dream & Brainstorm
We hop on the phone together, talk through your love story and let our imaginations run wild planning the most perfect spot for your couples session.
Remember & Write
You'll receive prompts & questionnaires to remind you of all you’ve been through together and guide you in writing secret love letters to each other. These come directly to me so I can sprinkle excerpts throughout your Love Letter album alongside your photographs!
Choose Your Style
I host you in the Melodic View travel trailer for a personal styling session where you can try on any of the gorgeous clothes in the Wanderlove Wardrobe that catch your fancy while we sip champagne and get cozy.
Bask in the Glow of Your Love
Enjoy the most amazing, intimate time together – completely free of distractions. Spend time loving on each other and reconnecting in a beautiful place.
Fall In Love All Over Again
Receive your Love Letter album, read the heartfelt words you’ve written to each other and relive all the glory for years to come.
Love Story Photography for All
My own love story is more a tale of survival than of first dates and flowers.
Sometimes I think I have one of the most complicated love stories out there. I would have loved to experience a romance free of pain and heartache… but I know our life is so much more meaningful because of the tests and hardships we faced. We definitely took the scenic route to love.
I created Wanderlove Sessions in part from the tattered glory of my own love story, but also in response to my frustration with the wedding industry which is built to celebrate and dwell on a single day in a couple’s long story – a story that is rarely straightforward or saccharine.
Your love story– married or not, struggling or sound – deserves to be revered, honored and documented.
I am not married and I may never be married, but that does NOT mean I love any less. Photography of your love story should not be reserved for a single day where a ceremony is performed. Saying the words “I do” is not the pinnacle.
Choosing each other every day is the victory.
I want to help you celebrate the mountains and valleys you’ve walked through together and honor how far you’ve come.

Melody
What’s it like to experience
a Wanderlove Session?
"If anyone is thinking of doing a couples photo shoot, I cannot recommend Melody enough. This was such a beautiful experience that cracked both Clay and I wide open and we fell in love all over again. She is magic. I never thought a couples photo shoot could be so wonderful and fun and intimate. And the Love Letter album she created for us is so gorgeous! She included lyrics from songs that Clay has written for me over the years. We will cherish this for the rest of our lives. Thank you so very much, Melody."
"My husband and I had just welcomed our second child so the romance was definitely dulled. The last thing I felt was that Matthew was attracted to me. But then, Melody showed up and started her magic. Her personality was so warm and welcoming and more comforting than I could have ever hoped for. She was so open minded, patient and creative with our entire session and then – something amazing happened. There we were, playing around and getting eaten alive by mosquitoes and suddenly, Matthew looked at me like he did when we first met.
Melody took a sincere and deep interest in the love between us and, by the end of the photoshoot, Matthew and I were relaxed and laughing with each other and more in love than we were when the day began. There's something very magical about those photos. When we both look at them, we are transported back in time to a loving and romantic era in our relationship. I am not sure words can do this experience justice. Melody gave us an amazing experience as a couple, not just breath-taking art. I recommend having a couples session with Melody as often as possible as a way of investing in your relationship and keeping that spark alive.”
“Melody took time at the beginning of the session to have us remember everything we’d been through together and it brought us so much closer. Every couple has a unique love story and Melody knows how to make it so special. Melody turns it into an adventure - not just a photo session. It was a wonderful opportunity for us to reconnect since we've been married for a couple years. What I liked most was the feeling of just having fun with my love and not even realizing Melody was there - it was like she was invisible! You can definitely trust her with your love story and we highly recommend her - the experience is so worth it. Each time we see the photographs from our Wanderlove session, we remember how much we love each other."
"I could write an extremely long review about our session with Melody, but I'll sum it up in two words: Simply Amazing. My wife and I connected on another level we never have while having photos taken. Truly was a great experience. She directed us perfectly and allowed us to show our genuine love in each moment. Highly recommend her!"
"We had the most wonderful time on our session with Melody. She made us feel comfortable (not an easy feat with couples photos) and directed us perfectly. She has such an incredible talent to capture the most exquisite photos in the simplest moments. We are forever grateful for this experience and definitely recommend her to anyone and everyone!"
Experience the magic together
I truly believe in the power of Wanderlove sessions to pour into your relationship and bring you back to the reasons you decided to walk through this life together.
Make a stand for each other
Recognize how rare it was for your paths to even cross in the first place and honor the commitment required to nurture a loving relationship. Show your lover what they mean to you and how much you value your life together.
