I’m honored you’re here!
I want to tell your unique and unrehearsed story.
My goal as a wedding photographer is to capture the emotion behind the images. I want you to look at these photos and transport back in time to your day and how it all felt.
My photos are vibrant, candid, and true to you.
I’m so excited to meet you and create some magic!

“Where do I begin with Melissa? She was absolutely AMAZING!! I initially hired her for my proposal, then after receiving those photos it was a no brainer that I need to hire her for my wedding. We also used her services for an engagement shoot, and she was extremely helpful with that! She recommended places that were spot on with mine and my wife’s vibe. She was helpful from picking the locations, to the attire. She was also very flexible with our schedule, as we do live an hour outside of Austin. She is very professional and laid back all at the same time. You give her your vision and she will execute it 100% of the time. Her turn around time for your photo is fast as well! After our wedding we received a sneak peak within a day! I recommend her to all my friends in the Austin area, as she is truly the BEST!”
“Melissa was absolutely perfect!
My husband is super camera shy & we chose Melissa for our engagement pictures and immediately knew she was the one for our wedding! She makes everything so easy & comfortable when posing. It was like she was another guest at our wedding that just hyped us up all night & we could not be more thankful for the work she put in! I highly recommend her for your engagement & wedding! We are OBSESSED with our pictures & the social media posts she makes are just a cherry on top for sharing with friends & family!”
“If you love color, good vibes, and stunning pictures, hire Melissa.
We had the pleasure of working with her for our engagement photos this spring and our wedding this fall. We actually just got back all of our wedding photos and it was such a beautiful reminder of so many moments! Every photo encapsulated us - people were smiling and laughing, they were all full of vibrant colors, and she got in lots of great photos of our dog. We have received so many compliments from guests and friends who commented on how unique our wedding photos looked. That is honestly one of the reasons we went with Bordeau Photo originally- the wedding photos were beautiful, but didn’t look like so many of the normal white-washed wedding photos. Day of, all of the requested shots we got, and communication before and after booking was clear and prompt. Melissa was also great at suggesting some shots because me and the now hubby are both normally pretty awkward when it comes to taking photos. I honestly can’t wait for the next chance we get to work with Bordeau Photo and can’t recommend them enough. Thanks Melissa!”
