Melissa - Lead Photographer / Office Manager / Studio
Melissa has always loved the visual arts. Her passion for photography stems from using her first 35mm camera at a young age and photographing everything around her. She graduated from the New Hampshire Institute of Art with a BFA in photography in 2014. There, she learned several different photographic processes including digital, large format, handmade, and experimental. Her favorite aspect of the medium is being able to capture emotion and freeze important moments in time. Melissa loves learning from and working with other experienced photographers and is thrilled to be part of the APM team.

“I will definitely be using them in the future for whatever photos I want to have done!!!”
“I am sooo glad I chose APM!!! They are a great group of people. Melissa is great!!! She photographed our engagement session and our wedding!!! So many memories were made and I couldn't be happier. I will definitely be using them in the future for whatever photos I want to have done!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you have done!”
“Not only is she very talented, she is the sweetest person I have ever met!”
“WOW where do I even begin? The APM team has been apart of my life for a couple years now. I first found them when doing a boudoir shoot. I knew then and there before being engaged that Melissa was my girl. Not only is she very talented, she is the sweetest person I have ever met! Every APM member we came across has been nothing but professional and personable. We used APM for both photos and video for our wedding. I can’t express enough how much fun they were to have at the wedding. They were our cheerleaders all day. Melissa and team made sure to get all the shots we wanted while staying on schedule. We cannot thank APM enough for the amazing shots they got. We are so in love with the sneak peaks and cannot wait to see the rest! I hope to use them for all our photography needs. I highly recommend APM. You will not be disappointed!”
“…our day was perfect and we couldn't be happier!”
“Although I am from NH, we were planning from out of state. After speaking with both Eric and Melissa, and Dave, we felt so confident in APM's ability and product. Melissa was amazing to work with and was quick to respond to any email questions or phone calls. Since we were out of state, we weren't able to meet with Eric and Melissa until two days before the wedding. They were beyond accommodating in scheduling our meeting, and once we met them in person we felt even more comfortable and confident in our selection.
We had Eric and Melissa as photographers and Bobby as the videographer. Everyone was amazing to work with. They were professional and friendly, fun and patient. They directed us and suggested poses, but also allowed us to be ourselves and have fun in the process. We had a vision for our photos and after seeing the teasers, they nailed it!
It seemed like they were EVERYWHERE at the wedding and captured amazing photos and memories that we will be looking at for years to come. They were organized and knew what they were doing, and it helped us to relax and ENJOY the moment. On your wedding day, you cant be everywhere, and you cant see everything, but we feel confident we will see everything through Eric, Melissa and Bobby. Thank you SO much for being with us on our day. Because of all three of you and the rest of the dream team, our day was perfect and we couldn't be happier!”
“We chose Melissa and we could not recommend her enough!”
“We had an amazing experience with APM! Photography was SO important to me through our planning process. When I reached out, Dave was so nice and spoke to me over the phone about the packages available. I met with him in the office to look through their albums and sign my contract. We chose Melissa and we could not recommend her enough! She took the best pictures for our engagement pictures and we knew she would be perfect for our wedding. Come the wedding day, we couldn't get enough of how sweet she and Emma were. She even remembered the shots that I requested during our last phone call prior to the wedding, and made sure to ask me the day of to get them! Melissa and Emma were snapping pictures of everyone and everything all night. I was absolutely blown away by our teasers, and we cannot wait to get the rest back!! :) I have had so many family and friends reach out to mention how amazing our photographers were, and my aunt who is a coordinator even asked for their names to recommend to a current bride she has! I am so thankful we chose APM! Thank you so much for capturing our beautiful day!”
