About

Hi, I am a San Diego Photographer! I love to travel! I am originally from Peru, but grew up and am based here in San Diego. Love the outdoors, whether it's hanging at the beach or getting in tune with nature.

Ever since I was little I always had a camera in my hand; I love documenting events and expressions. Feel free to reach out and let's chat about how I can capture your memories!

PS - I promise to make you laugh!

Melissa is the best!

We recently worked with Melissa for our engagement shoot and were SO happy we went with her! She got back to me right away after I submitted an online inquiry and made the process of planning and scheduling a breeze. I loved her energy during the shoot- she made my fiancé and I feel at ease throughout the entire process. Now for the best part - the photos. They came out STUNNING! I loved that we could pick 100 from the raw files, then she edited that (quite large) subset. We are so happy with how they came out, and have gotten so many compliments from friends and family. I'd highly recommend Melissa to anyone in the San Diego (and beyond) area!

The best of experience :)!

We got the opportunity to work with Melissa , and she was AMAZING . The continuous communication was very much appreciated. She is detailed oriented , and always one step ahead! She is passionate about photography and extremely talented ! This shows throughout all her photos. We are so grateful to have her document all of our memorable moments during our big day.

I look forward to working with her again , and would highly recommend her for all events. She is worth the investment 1000%.

Thank you again Melissa for going above and beyond for Manuel and I .

Best choice ever !

We went purely based on reviews when shortlisting the photographers for our very intimate courthouse wedding. Melissa got back to us very quickly with detailed responses to all our questions and great advice as we were not too familiar with the area. Based on these initial exchanges we decided to go with her. Best choice ever!

Melissa took the time to bring us around the site where we would be taking the photos so we could familiarize ourselves with the terrain before our special day and we could understand the vision that she had for the various shooting locations.

On the day of our wedding Melissa put us at ease with her bubbly and pleasant demeanor. She was very patient and went above and beyond to get the most amazing shots of us on our special day. The day turned out perfectly— we had a blast shooting with her!

Melissa was punctual and very professional throughout. She also had a really quick turnaround— we got a selection of our photos the day after our wedding, and got the remainder a few days later. We were extremely happy with the photos and our choice of photographer. We would recommend her to anyone looking to capture special moments !
