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.

Lavish Dulhan Magazine, The Bridal Affair Toronto, Toronto weddign show

This past Sunday I visited Lavish Dulhan Magazine’s “Bridal Affair”, Toronto’s first luxury South Asian wedding show held at the Liberty Grand. This boutique-style bridal show featured an elite group of Toronto’s most sought-after wedding professionals, most of whom were exclusive to The Bridal Affair. I was excited to see my fellow friends and colleagues display their creativity and to take a few photos of the bright and beautiful booths.

Myself, along with an amazingly talented team created an editorial titled ‘Charismatic Harlequin” which is featured in the new edition of Lavish Dulhan Magazine, available shortly. This editorial was also recreated at the show and I have included a sneak peek of what this editorial will look like….Blog coming soon!!

Thanks for a beautiful show, and a great afternoon with talented industry peers. Despite being 9 months pregnant it was well worth the visit!
