Hey, I’m Melissa, an Auckland photographer who's one half of the wedding duo, Pure Bliss Media, with a bit of a love affair for all things filmic and cinematic.
I’m obsessed with the in-between moments, the movement, the emotion, the real stuff you can’t fake. After seven years behind the camera, I’ve learned that the best photos come from stories that unfold naturally, not from stiff poses or forced smiles. My approach is relaxed, candid, and all about capturing how a moment felt, not just how it looked.

I work with families, couples, and pets, basically anyone with a heartbeat or a wagging tail who wants memories that feel alive.
Whether it’s kids being chaotic (as they should be), couples wrapped up in their own little world, or pets being their wonderfully dramatic selves, I’m here to turn your everyday magic into images with soul and a touch of movie-scene energy. If you want photos that feel warm, real, and a little dreamy, you’re in the right place.
