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.

Andrea, Hadley and sweet little Arielle | Toronto Lifestyle Photo Session

Wednesday, May 21, 2014

It was a pleasure to be invited into Andrea and Hadley’s home recently to document them with their beautiful 6-month-old daughter Arielle. After photographing their wedding at Graydon Hall Manor awhile back, it was lovely to meet their new little love, Arielle and to see how their lives have changed since their wedding day. This shoot nearly didn’t happen, as I was expecting my second daughter that very week, but I am happy it worked out and I was able to capture some sweet moments in the comfort of their home. I look forward to documenting them again as Arielle grows into a tiny little lady.
