Mel Colvin Photography & Design Studio

At Mel Colvin Photography, we're all about capturing life's most precious moments with authenticity and joy. As a portrait and wedding photographer based in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, I, Mel, have a passion for telling the stories of love, family, and connection.

From our initial consultation to the final edited images, I'm committed to making you feel seen, heard, and celebrated. Whether you're a quirky couple, a loving family, or a small business owner looking to brand your unique story, I'm here to help you shine.

Why Choose Me?

As a seasoned photographer with over 10 years of experience, I've honed my skills in capturing authentic, genuine moments that reveal the essence of who you are. My portfolio is full of intimate portraits, playful family moments, and weddings that show the beauty of imperfection. I believe that life is too short to pose perfectly in front of a blank paper backdrop. I'm here to guide you through your session, helping you relax and feel comfortable in your own skin.

My Philosophy

As a photographer, I'm driven by a desire to tell stories that celebrate individuality, uniqueness, and imperfection. I'm inspired by the beauty of the ordinary, the thrill of the unexpected, and the magic of the real. My approach is informal, natural, and unpossessive, allowing you to be yourself and shine in the moment.

My Story

I hold a degree in Photography and Graphic Design from Rhode Island College and have been in the photography industry for over a decade.

When I'm not behind the lens, you can find me sharing my love of coffee, dogs, and true crime podcasts with my friends and family.
