  • Welcome to my here today

    My name is Melissa Squires.. What I do is to capture frames of you that show your real true inner shining rock star self. It isn’t about being someone else, dressing some certain way and you don't need any secret sauce, you are what makes YOU and wonderful and interesting and special. My images reflect the beauty, joy, and inner soul of my subjects, and the moments they inhabit.. these images are forever.

    Photography is how I express myself, how I see, how I celebrate who we are today.

    My son is my breath and my husband is my life. I will be quite satisfied when I am 80 if I have loved them well and taken some amazing photographs along the way.

amanda and leightons backyard ann arbor wedding

So it is always a special treat to be chosen by another photographer to photograph something special, and perhaps it’s doubly so to be chosen to shoot a wedding photographers wedding :) Amanda and Leighton held their wedding at the brides parents home in my home town of Ann Arbor Michigan and it couldn’t have been more perfect, a few almost sprinkles during the ceremony adding some whimsy and it was lovely to see everyone stay seated and the clouds to pass by so quickly there is very little photographic proof it happened at all. Here are a few frames from the day:
