Melissa Atle

About

Melissa Atle is a wedding and engagement photographer based in Sonoma County with over a decade of experience and more than 230 weddings documented. They focus on capturing genuine emotion and the unscripted, "in-between" moments that reflect a couple's authentic connection. Their approach is centered on being fully present, ensuring that the final images feel intentional and honest rather than forced or overly posed. Utilizing both digital and film photography, they prioritize a timeless and thoughtful aesthetic that aims to resonate with couples for decades to come. They believe a wedding day is about more than just perfectly planned details, seeking instead to document the laughter and quiet interactions that define a relationship. Their goal is to make clients feel seen and celebrated through story-telling that captures the heart of their unique journey. While they are local to Napa and Sonoma County, they travel throughout San Francisco, the Pacific Northwest, and various destination locations worldwide. Their services range from intimate elopements to full-day celebrations and multi-day wedding weekends. They also offer engagement and adventure sessions, as well as lifestyle and branding photography for growing families.
