“We LOVED working with Melody for our engagement and wedding! She made us feel so comfortable during the photo sessions and was easy to work with throughout the process. She is so creative and we adore all of our photos - they are so “us”! We got married in Ohio and she even traveled for the occasion. Thank you Melody for everything!”

“Cannot say enough wonderful things about Amaranth Creative!! Melody did an excellent job photographing our engagement and wedding. She captured the whimsical, moody aesthetic we were after and the photos are everything we dreamed of. Melody also baked our wedding cake, which was equally as beautiful as it was delicious. We’re so excited for future milestones and for Melody to be part of them!”

Hey! My name is Melody.
There’s cameras everywhere these days—we all carry them in our pockets, they’re on our computers, our front doors, our traffic lights, the backs of our cars. So what’s different about my camera? I’m behind it. What does that mean? It means that when you get in front of my camera, I promise to do my best to photograph you in a way that makes you feel like you.
I am based out Van Buren County, IA (a little area in the Southeast region of Iowa, filled with gorgeous places and lots of artisans). I currently offer photography, cakes, florals and creative direction.
