Hi Friends

HI, FRIENDS!

FIRST OF ALL, it literally means SO much that you’re on this website & considering me for your photography. That first step is HUGE & I know all about how overwhelming the planning process can be. So, welcome! You’re making moves & I’m honored to play even the smallest part in it!

My name is Melanie- HAAY! I’m the brains & braun behind this operation. I live in Annapolis Maryland with my two dogs, Olive the Dachshund & Willow the beagle. They’re crazy & wildly different from each other & I absolutely adore them.

I’ve been photographing weddings professionally for nearly 10 years & have been taking pictures since I was 5 years old! I got my very first camera (a pink Barbie polaroid) for my 5th birthday & have been obsessed ever since. I’ve photographed hundreds of weddings throughout the east coast & I’m forever grateful I get to do something that I love as my full time job.
I’m super into personality tests, reading a silly fantasy or romance novel, or drinking cocktails & hanging with my friends. I laugh a lot & will always be up for a good pun joke.
>> IF YOU'RE SOMEONE WHO is engaged & feels like they could jive with me (I promise we’re super easy to get along with!), come hang with me! My favorite weddings are the ones that are a little laid back & intimate with sentimental moments. I love all things boho-vintage-unique & want your wedding to completely & totally you. I think being a little out of this world & different is the best, & I like it when things aren’t always traditional. I’m all about playing by the rules of your own game & not following the rules of the standard wedding industry. If eloping in a Vegas hotel & then taking portraits in the desert is your thing, I’m totally down. If you want a wedding in the woods & want to take your shoes off, I’m there. Whatever your style may-be, I’m open to it. You in?
