Melody Hoover Photography My Services page

I am a photographer, wife, mother, grandmother, the person who loves to capture your life experiences and events. You’ve spent endless hours caring for and crafting a wedding that reflects your love story; you need a photographer who truly understands the importance of preserving the memories of your day. I will capture your day with photographs that go beyond simply documenting the timeline. Those details you worked so hard to get just right, the tender moments shared with your spouse and family. Multi-generational and unforgettable moments that matter most and will allow you to share your story with the generations to come. I will take the time to work with you on your day and help set your timeline for a smooth, memorable celebration. Engagements, Weddings, Family Photos, and Event Photography services are available, all customized to your vision, let's chat about what you are looking for.

50+ high resolution images, per hour of service, can be expected. The images are placed in a private on-line gallery where you can download and share your photos, available for 12 months from posting date. Your gallery is linked to a professional print lab allowing you to purchase prints directly from your gallery. I am readily available to keep communication easy and open to help plan your photoshoot or life event. Most importantly I endeavor to capture those special moments and emotions that will be so important when telling your history.

Cooler fall days, crisp autumn air, and vintage trucks bring a little nostalgia to the changing season. There's something timeless about old trucks, golden leaves, and the simple beauty of fall. #travelnevada #fall #vintage #nevadaphotographer
