Melissa Petrie 
Photography

Hey! I'm Melissa.

Thanks so much for stopping by! My name is Melissa  and I'm a wedding and elopement photographer currently based in Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas. I was born in South Africa and I grew up in sunny Florida. I've been behind the lens for 10 years now, and I attained my BFA in Photography from the University of North Texas. 

 I'm always chasing that sunlight, I'm a geek about gear, and I grew up in the passenger seat of a little 4 seater Cherokee plane seeing the world from a whole different perspective. I can't wait to see what your adventure looks like.

A few more things.

I love: rock-climbing, lizards, black clothes, skincare and makeup, camping, road trips, the beach, thunderstorms, brownies, green tea, healthy eating, tech theatre and lighting design, plants, a home-cooked vegetarian meal, and traveling.

I dislike: being late (with a passion), bad drivers, my lips being chapped, carbonated drinks, selective coloring, and bananas.
