Welcome to my blog! My name is Melanie Galbrand-Chen and I am the owner and creative force behind Verve Photo Co.

Verve is a boutique wedding and lifestyle photography company based out of Toronto, but available internationally. What this means is I only take a limited amount of weddings per year to give my clients the support and service they deserve. The relationships I build with my clients mean more to me then any accolade or award. Nothing is more rewarding then continuing to share the lives of my clients by documenting their milestones through maternity, baby and family photos years after their nuptials.

Each wedding, milestone or event I shoot is a new and exciting venture, and regardless of race, religion, or orientation, I promise to capture your day with artistry, honor and respect.

Please be sure to check back often, and feel free to comment or share any of my posts with your family and friends. Thanks for stopping by.

Alice + Andy | A Royal Ambassador Wedding, Caledon ON

We have been looking forward to Alice and Andy’s wedding day ever since we did their engagement shoot earlier in the summer. They were so much fun to work with and up for anything, which of course we love. Their wedding day didn’t disappoint. They lucked out with an amazing fall day, which was perfect for their outdoor ceremony at The Royal Ambassador in Caledon. Their day was a mixture of Chinese tradition and spontaneous fun and games, which definitely kept us entertained (no more banana’s in our grocery carts!) . Congratulations Alice and Andy and happy honeymooning in China.
