Melia Lucida Photographer | About

I've been very fortunate to have been a wedding photographer for close to twenty years. I grew up in rural parts of western Canada with an apparently difficult Hawaiian name: (May -LEE-uh), the pronunciation of which I was never bold enough to correct. In keeping with that general awkwardness perhaps, I was a shy kid. Drawing and painting and pouring over art history tomes in my school libraries was how I spent every moment of spare time. Long before art school proper, this is where I fell in love with and absorbed the elements of art.  I began photographing weddings on film while completing my Bachelor of Fine Arts between Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design in Vancouver, and St. Martin's College of Art & Design in the UK.
