A Shared Love for Adventure, Art, and Honest Moments
We’re Meg and Melissa—the duo behind Wild & Wander. With a combined 30+ years of photographing weddings, we bring not just experience, but heart, artistry, and intention to everything we do. Our passion lies in capturing the real, the raw, and the beautifully unscripted moments that unfold when couples say yes to love in wild places.
We started Wild & Wander because we believe your wedding day should be about you—unfiltered, intimate, and true to your relationship. Whether you're hiking to your ceremony spot or exchanging vows with your toes in the sand, we're here to help you craft a celebration that’s uniquely yours.
Meet Meg (She/Her)
Meg’s background in fine art photography and design gives her a unique perspective on light, composition, and storytelling. Her training in multiple mediums shapes her ability to create images that feel both timeless and modern, capturing the raw beauty in each moment. Based in Southern California, she finds her inspiration in golden light, towering peaks, and the quiet moments in between. When she’s not behind the lens, you’ll find her fostering kittens or volunteering at a local animal rescue—something that has put her patience and empathy to good use, and is just one more way she sees beauty in the tiniest, most tender moments.
Meet Melissa (She/They)
Melissa’s photography is rooted in storytelling and connection. With nearly 15 years of experience and a background in journalism, she has a talent for helping couples feel at ease, seen, and celebrated. Based in Northern California, Melissa’s love for nature and storytelling are at the heart of her work. She is a passionate advocate for our National Parks and believes in preserving the wild places that inspire so many love stories. Her calm, joyful presence makes even the most camera-shy feel at ease. She loves road trips, sunrise hikes, and a really good cup of coffee—and she pours that same warmth and energy into every moment she captures.
