Melissa Kew Photography

Last reviewed: August 10, 2026. Business status: Active.

Halifax wedding photographer Melissa Kew Photography is the business name used on the company’s official website. The site identifies Melissa as a wedding and portrait photographer based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and presents wedding work alongside portrait and engagement imagery.

This refreshed profile separates current first-party information from older directory details. The official website supports the Halifax identity, wedding-photography focus and an active enquiry route; it does not publish a postal address, telephone number or current wedding-package figures on the pages reviewed. Last reviewed: August 10, 2026.

Current identity and evidence

Melissa Kew Photography is active on its own domain, where the homepage is headed “wedding & portrait photography” and says the business is based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The About page names Melissa and repeats that she is a wedding and portrait photographer based in Halifax, NS. This is a direct match for the company name and service context, so the legacy Facebook URL, Enfield address and telephone number have not been carried forward as verified contact details.

The official homepage also has current navigation for wedding information, investment details and enquiries. That provides an active route for prospective clients to contact the business, although availability for a particular date must still be confirmed directly.

Services and specialization

The confirmed focus is wedding and portrait photography. The website displays dedicated wedding work and describes photography for couples and families as part of the business’s overall offering. Its stated approach includes helping clients with planning, outfit coordination, timing and referrals, as well as guidance intended to make posing feel less uncertain.

For wedding-day coverage, the About page says the team can capture requested formal photographs as well as candid moments. It also describes Melissa’s husband as a second shooter. This is useful context for couples comparing the role of a second photographer, but the site does not set out a current, itemized wedding collection or guarantee that a second shooter is included with every booking.

Service area and who it may suit

The official website places Melissa Kew Photography in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Its homepage says it serves families and couples worldwide, which indicates that the business is open to discussing work beyond its Halifax base. That broad statement should not be read as a published travel policy or as confirmation of destination availability.

This may suit couples planning a Halifax-area wedding who want to ask about a photographer working with both formal group photographs and candid moments. It may also be relevant to couples considering travel or multi-location plans, provided they confirm whether their date, venue and travel requirements can be accommodated.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented feature is the team-based approach described on the official About page: Melissa works with her husband, sister and associates, and says her husband also acts as a second shooter. The page also states that Melissa is a member of the Professional Photographers of Canada and holds accreditations in Wedding Storytelling and Child & Infant Portraiture.

The practical limitation is that several operational details are not published on the official pages reviewed. There is no verified postal address or phone number to display, and the site does not explain which team members will attend a particular wedding, whether a second shooter is included, or how travel is priced. These are points for an enquiry, not negatives about the business.

Pricing

Current pricing is not explicitly published. The official homepage links to “info & investment,” but no current wedding-package amount, starting price, tax treatment, travel fee, retainer or payment schedule was visible on the official pages reviewed.

Couples should request a written quote that matches the planned coverage period, locations and deliverables. Ask whether the quote includes a second shooter, engagement coverage, editing, digital files, albums or prints, travel, taxes and any overtime, rather than relying on older third-party price information.

Current prices are not published on the official pages reviewed.

Contact and booking

Use the enquiry or “Book a Session” route on Melissa Kew Photography’s official website to begin a conversation. The homepage invites prospective clients to get in touch and directs them toward its wedding-information and investment material.

No business phone number, email address or postal address was published on the official pages reviewed, so none is listed here. When contacting the business, include the wedding date, venue or region, approximate guest count, timing and the type of coverage you are considering so the team can advise on fit and availability.

What couples should confirm

Before booking, ask for a current written proposal and agreement. Confirm who will photograph the wedding, whether a second shooter is included or optional, the coverage start and end times, planned breaks, additional-hour pricing, travel arrangements and any contingency plan if a team member cannot attend.

Also confirm the deliverables: approximate image count if offered, editing approach, delivery method and timeline, printing or album options, image-use permissions, insurance if required by the venue, deposit amount, payment schedule and cancellation or postponement terms. These details are not set out on the current official pages reviewed.

• Whether the photographer and any second shooter are available for your date.
• Whether travel outside Halifax is accepted and how related costs are quoted.
• Which wedding collection, coverage duration and deliverables apply to your plans.
• The full taxes, fees, retainer and cancellation terms in writing.
