Capturing life's most beautiful moments

I believe the most powerful photographs are the ones you don't pose for. The stolen glances, the tears of joy, the burst of uncontrollable laughter — these are the moments that matter.

From intimate weddings to corporate events, I'm here to document your story with artistry and heart.

Melissa Pocek

Hi, I'm Melissa

I'm a Bay Area based photographer specializing in weddings and corporate events. My passion is documenting life as it unfolds—the laughter, the tears, the quiet moments in between.

Whether you're walking down the aisle, presenting on stage, or celebrating a company milestone, I capture the energy and emotion that makes each event unique.

From vineyard weddings in Napa to tech conferences in San Francisco, I bring the same dedication to every shoot: authentic moments, beautiful light, and images you'll treasure.

Frequently Asked

How far in advance should I book?

For weddings, I recommend booking 9-12 months in advance, especially for peak season (May-October). Corporate events can often be booked 2-4 weeks out depending on availability.

Do you travel for destination weddings?

Absolutely! I love destination weddings. Travel fees apply for events outside the Bay Area, and I'm happy to provide a custom quote for your location.

How many photos will we receive?

For full-day wedding coverage, you'll typically receive 400-600+ edited images. Engagement sessions include 40-60 images. All photos are professionally edited.

When will we get our photos?

Wedding galleries are delivered within 6-8 weeks. Engagement sessions and corporate events are typically ready within 2-3 weeks. Sneak peeks within 48 hours!

Do you offer albums and prints?

Yes! I offer beautifully crafted heirloom albums and fine art prints. These can be added to any package or ordered after your gallery is delivered.

What's your photography style?

I'd describe my style as documentary with an editorial touch—authentic moments captured beautifully. I focus on genuine emotion, natural light, and timeless compositions.
