About Melanie Orr Photography

The Woman Behind the Lens

Hey, my name is Ember! <3

I’m one of the lucky ones whose purpose was made clear, early on.

My grandfather was James Bond, a spy for Mi5 and a photographer. My two aunties were also photographers so working with camera’s is in my bloodline. I played with my mothers camera when I was kid and my jr. high art teacher made a special photo program just for me when the department had shut down.

I learned on film.

Shot my first wedding on black & white film in 2005, which deepened my love for storytelling. I love, love! Capturing people, weddings, businesses, and artists, it's incredibly intimate work.

I am humbled and honored each and every time someone chooses to work with me. I aim to never take this gift for granted. Giving all my presence and years of experience to each client.

Here's my philosophy

I capture the essence of the world through the lens of intuition.

My photography philosophy is a celebration of the human spirit, a journey to capture the very essence of individuals immersed in their passions. Through intuitive guidance, I seek to unveil the raw, unfiltered moments where passion ignites the soul and turns it into art. Every click of the shutter is a testament to the infinite beauty found within the pursuit of one's true calling, and my lens is a bridge that connects the world to the profound.
