Melissa Musgrove, Santa Barbara photographer

I am a professional wedding photographer based in Santa Barbara, California. Armed with a degree in photography, I have been a wedding & portrait photographer for almost 20 years. I ran a successful photo studio in New Jersey before setting up my Santa Barbara photography business when I moved with family to California.

I am married with two children (and a dog). I feel it is a real advantage being a woman in the field of wedding and portrait photography. I know just what to do, and I'm able to pitch in and help with last minute details, including and especially to help the wedding couple relax.

Portfolio of a wedding photographer

My experience includes weddings as small as 30 people at a bed & breakfast, to up to 250 people at the Ritz Carlton. My wedding photography work seems to attract couples that are planning an intimate, less traditional, simple yet elegant wedding.

Every wedding is unique. I will customize a photo collection that will best suit your needs as well as artistic desires. Whether you want a two hour photo coverage of your wedding with your photographs displayed in a fine art image box, or an eight hour coverage with the story of your wedding told in a fine leather craftsmen album, I will be happy to send you a brochure with all your choices.

I especially enjoy outdoor weddings and historic locations.

I work with an assistant and bring back up equipment, so that you are guaranteed that all contingencies are taken care of.

Outstanding Service and Professionalism

Excellent service is my top priority. It is why I have an outstanding reputation as a wedding photographer in Santa Barbara.

You'll receive personal service at every level and every step of the way. Special requests that you may have are gladly accepted. You can be absolutely confident that I will be unobtrusive, professional and friendly. I treat people in the way that I like to be treated myself. I take pride and enjoyment in my photography and I believe it shows in my work.
