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.

Val & Max | A Toronto Island Engagement Shoot

Thursday, August 5, 2010

V&M_110

We always say that although we can execute beautiful photographs, it’s up to the couple to let their personalities and chemistry shine through the lens. Val and Max were a dream to photograph. They were so cute, playful and carefree with one another, that they made our job very easy. We walked, we laughed, we photographed. What a perfect way to get to know a couple before shooting their wedding. Keep watch for their upcoming wedding photos from Niagara-on-the-Lake later this month. And, Val & Max…we can’t wait to photograph you two again!
