Connecticut Elopement and Wedding Photographer
hello
I’m Melanie, and that’s my husband beside me, Brian. Together we are MBM weddings- New England’s choice for timeless, luxurious elopement and intimate wedding photography.
We know choosing your elopement photographer isn’t easy. But if photography is the most important part of remembering your wedding day, you’re in the right place.

At MBM weddings, we photograph couples who are passionate, deeply in love, and who want every moment - from elegant portraits to joyful, candid scenes - captured with care and artistry. Our style is timeless, classic, warm, and vivid. The kind of photography you’ll treasure forever.
With hundreds of weddings behind us, we guide you through every step for a stress-free, luxury experience - and images you'll be obsessed with for life.
Plus, Melanie is a licensed Justice of the Peace in Connecticut, so if you're eloping or planning something intimate, Melanie and Brian can legally officiate your ceremony and capture every moment - seamlessly.
“Melanie and Brian are awesome, enough said. I contacted Melanie about 3 months prior to our June wedding and she was so easy to work with and accommodating from start to finish. She and Brian are an amazing team and captured gorgeous pictures of our wedding that will forever remind us of our special day.”

She said YES! Nicki and Drew’s holiday proposal was pure magic. The glow of the lights, the emotion, and the joy were everything. See the full story on the blog. Link in bio.
Merry Christmas, from our hearts to yours.
As a husband and wife team, it is an honor and a privilege to witness love in its most intimate form, two people choosing each other, choosing forever. This season, we are reminded that true luxury is not found in things, but in moments: the quiet exchange of vows, the warmth of a hand held tightly, the feeling of home found in another person.
May your holidays be wrapped in beauty, elegance, and the presence of those you call family. Whether your celebration is a private elopement beneath winter skies or a gathering held close by candlelight, may love be at the center of every memory you keep.
Thank you for being part of our journey and for trusting us with the moments that will become your family legacy. We are deeply grateful.
Wishing you a Christmas filled with magic, and a new year overflowing with devotion, connection, and timeless love.
Maggie emailed me the day after she and Leighton got engaged, and then the next day, we were photographing their engagement session! I actually had one mini session spot open up last minute, so it worked out perfectly. Turns out, we’re practically neighbors, too! Maggie and Leighton, it was so great to meet you! Congratulations again on your engagement!
Happy birthday to the most handsome, talented photographer in the world! Brian, I am so lucky to do life (and business!) with you!
Looking forward to another year of adventures, laughter, and creating magic together. I love you, and I love taking photos with and of you ❤️
"Hey, Melanie. We have a 25" x 25" frame. Can you please order us a print?"
"Absolutely!" 😍
I will always always always recommend you get your large wall art from my lab. Jack, Devon and sweet little boy, I hope you love your new living room photo!
One week ago, Jack & Devon said “I do” on the most perfect early fall day at @wickhampark, surrounded by love and golden light. Their celebration continued at @thefoundryct in Hartford, where every moment was filled with joy, laughter, and timeless memories. Cheers to your first week as newlyweds and a lifetime of love ahead!
