  • 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.

ashley and brent . detroit wedding

It was a beautiful day, the rain only added to the romance of Ashley and Brent’s wedding held at the Whitney in downtown Detroit.  The house was almost as beautiful as Ashley is.  Here is a few frames to tel their story. Thank you Ashley and Brent for letting us be a part of your celebration.

Lori - Melissa, you always create such beautiful photos. You capture the uniqueness of each event, which I think is a very rare skill. I love scrolling through your site and seeing what you’ve come up with.December 9, 2011 – 12:51 pm

gordana and mark . detroit wedding

Gordana told me that the most important part of her wedding day (other then the “i do”) was the parts before they said their vows.  “It’s all about sharing, family and tradition.” she said.  It was.  The whole day was about sharing, family and tradition.  So much happening and everyone celebrating it all joyfully.  It was my honor to be there and to be part of such a grand and beautiful thing.

bailey and steve . wedding

First I want to say that anyone who pastes her and his pictures on the “Big Trouble in Little China” poster and makes that the cover of her wedding binder is a girl after my own heart.  Cooler then me because I never thought of doing it.  Bailey and Steve are the most wonderfullest people.  Crazy perfect for each other and as kind as they are brilliant (which is very).  When we first met we knew we were a perfect match as they immediately got my quite subtle “Big Lebowski” reference and when they mentioned they might have an “Army of Darkness” shout out during the wedding I was 100% in support (it didn’t make the final cut).  Needless to say I think they have fantastic taste in movies (see the table names!) and I had trouble not dancing during the reception as I loved every song they personally chose to get down to.  I’ve shared their morning after session but hadn’t gotten their wedding up here, this post should take care of that.  congratulations Bailey and Steve.
