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.

Kirill + Alissa | High Park Cherry Blossom Engagement, Toronto

High Park Engagement, Cherry Blossoms High Park, cherry blossom engagement

Every spring the anticipation for the arrival of the High Park cherry blossoms has Toronto on high alert. The beauty of the blossoms last only about a week, and their arrival varies… depending on Mother Nature. High Park gets flooded with visitors wanting to experience this little piece of heaven, so I met up with my bride and groom-to-be early enough in the morning to avoid major crowds. The blossoms make such a soft and romantic setting, perfect for a couple in love to have their engagement shoot taken there. Alissa, Kirill and I shared a great morning and we managed to find a little bit of privacy amongst the photo-snapping tourists. Their wedding is this coming July at Casa Loma, and I am looking forward to being a part of it all. Congrats you two…you looked stunning!
