Meet Your Tampa Wedding Photographer & Videographer
“Melissa was absolutely AMAZING. She makes you feel so comfortable and natural when you are taking photos. Both my (now) husband and I absolutely HATE getting our photos taken, and she made the entire process so fun and took any anxiety that we had away with her fun presence & positive energy. We did both our engagement and wedding photos with her and they turned out incredible. Not only is her work beautiful, but if you are shy or uncomfortable she knows exactly how to bring out your confidence and work at a pace that is comfortable for you. Melissa was there for me throughout my entire planning process, and listened to me vent, and dealt with me changing my mind 100 times, and never made me feel bad about it, and was always able to calm me down & listen. If you are looking for beautiful and unique photos, look no further. I highly recommend Melissa, and could not imagine having another photographer!”
Meet Melissa 📸
I'm Melissa, the owner and lead photographer behind Mad Images—a Tampa wedding photographer specializing in candid, documentary-style wedding photography for couples celebrating in Tampa, Orlando, and destination weddings worldwide. And every day... I'm hustlin'!
Some might call me "extra," and you know what? THEY'RE RIGHT. I'm extra upbeat, extra motivated, and extra detail-oriented. Basically, I'm dripping in finesse! ;) Not to mention, I always give EXTRA to my couples (like sending bangin' sneak peeks the day after the wedding... just sayin' 😉).
I'm a Lisa Frank and Frenchie lovin', hair-color changin', unicorn of a person. Basically, I'm the whole package—plus glitter! Most days you'll find me quoting my favorite songs like it's my job, building onto my LEGO city, or writing hate mail to whoever killed off McDreamy.
When I'm not photographing weddings throughout Tampa, Orlando, and beyond, you'll usually find me snuggled on the couch with my baby boy, Lucas, and our two cats. Those are the moments that remind me why preserving real memories matters so much—and why I love capturing genuine, joy-filled moments for every couple I photograph.
And you? I've bet you’ve got ONE heck of a story. I’d would love to hear it.

“If you love her photography style then you’ll love Melissa. She was very responsive during the whole process. We seriously asked her at least a hundred questions and she always got back to us right away! She was able to keep us and our larger families calm, cool & collected while we did photos before the ceremony. Melissa was one of the first vendors we hired because we fell in love with her photos and her personality/professionalism just cemented everything for us. She can capture beautiful photos even when you feel you’re not photogenic! She makes you feel photogenic! Book Melissa!!”
