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.

toronto fashion incubator | press & buyers breakfast 2010

Monday, October 26, 2009

On October 16^th Verve Photo Co. photographed Toronto Fashion Incubator’s Press and Buyers Breakfasts 2010 for Faulhaber PR . Toronto Fashion Incubator (TFI) is an exciting & innovative non-profit organization dedicated to nurturing, promoting and supporting new and emerging fashion entrepreneurs.

This was our third year shooting the event so we knew it would be a good mix of designers, models and media. The “breakfast” allows for press and buyers to meet Canada’s new crop of talents in the fashion industry and offers exceptional promotional and sales opportunities. In attendance was Toronto Mayor David Miller who also delivered a speech to the crowd.

Here are a few highlights of the shoot.

Enjoy!
