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.

Catherine + Marc | May 16. 2009

Our first wedding blog!! Very exciting for us, and it couldn’t have been a better day to blog about. Despite the weather forecast, nothing put a damper on the day for Catherine and Marc. They were so caught up in the moment that we think they didn’t realize it was raining! They were amazing to work with, and their happiness definitely shone through in the photographs. Catherine grew up in the most amazing house in Hamilton, and it is the backdrop for many of the photos. The following are a few images from their day. Enjoy!
