Hello, I'm melvin

Wedding & Portrait Photographer

The Photographer

Born and raised in Queens, NY yet now residing in the Hampton Roads, VA area. I'm a follower of Jesus Christ, a Husband and father of four quickly growing kids. I've been a photographer since 2016 when I purchased my first Nikon D5200 camera.


How I Got Started?

I started NLC PORTRAITS L.L.C. in 2020. My aim is to provide quality combined with affordability. I remember when I had gotten married, my spouse and I weren't able to afford a photographer. So, when I became passionate about offering my photography services to others, I wanted to make it accessible to everyone.

My approach

 

"As a wedding photographer, my approach is centered around capturing the genuine moments that make your day unique. I believe in blending your style with artistic portraiture to tell a beautiful, authentic story of your wedding.


I’ll be there to capture both the big moments and the subtle, intimate details you might miss in the excitement of the day. From candid laughter during the ceremony to the quiet glances between you and your partner, I focus on natural, timeless images that reflect the emotion and joy of your celebration.


My goal is to make you feel comfortable and relaxed, so you can enjoy your day without feeling like you’re posing for the camera. I take a flexible approach, listening to your vision and working around your schedule to ensure every special moment is documented beautifully."
