PROUDLY FEATURED ON
In Berlin geboren und seit meiner Kindheit um die Welt reisend, habe ich bereits in den USA, Schottland und Portugal gelebt. Ich habe in ganz Südeuropa (von Portugal, Spanien und Frankreich bis Italien) gefilmt und spreche fließend Deutsch, Englisch und Portugiesisch (sowie respektabel Französisch, Spanisch und Italienisch). Daher kann ich multikulturelle Feiern mit Leichtigkeit koordinieren und festhalten! Egal welche Sprache ihr sprecht oder welcher Kultur ihr angehört, ich kann eure Geschichte taktvoll und emotional erzählen!
!["We cannot recommend Melanie highly enough, she was truly one of the most incredible hires we made for our entire wedding. From our very first interaction, she was exceptionally easy to work with, bringing a calm, professional, and joyful energy to the planning process and the day itself.
She constantly went above and beyond to make our day feel special. [..]
As for the final film, it is absolute perfection. She captured the emotion, the laughter, and the beauty of our day in a way we will cherish forever. If you are on the fence about booking her, this is your sign to do it. She is worth every single penny and more!"

![This is a work of collaboration. [Scroll to the end to see the work in progress]
I had the absolute honor and pleasure of being invited by the amazingly talented Sofia Ferreira to film one of her installations in her series of Blue. Sofia is far more than a floral designer and creative director - she's a whirlwind of ideas and inspiration, of hard work and generous teachings, of cuss words and temperament (like a true Porto woman).
Her other half André Teixeira creates photographs with an eye for detail and the utmost dedication, which turns each photo into a work of art - stylish and true, elegant and classy, without ever trying too hard.
The two of them have made a habit out of opening their space, the amazing studio they have built in the outskirts of Porto, to their colleagues and friends and acquaintances from the world of weddings, photography and design. They have been a beacon of shared education and a constant exchange of ideas that have made this industry better, one cocktail at a time.
And because life isn't just filming beautiful weddings and chatting with colleagues, then there's Octavio. Octavio The Octopus is very dear to my heart. I made him with my own hands, during an arduous and challenging several-month-long process, only shortly after having put my hands on clay for the very first time. It wouldn't have been possible for me to bring him to life without the guidance and teachings of the dear Maria Ulecia, ceramicist extraordinaire, choral companion and incredibly-direct-and-brutally-honest pottery teacher.
And then there's my wife, who taught me throughout the years that sometimes you have to grab an idea by the horns and turn it into opportunity, without caring too much about "good sense" or perfect timing. And to shake plastic foil in front of lights to make water.
Thank you Sofia, thank you André, thank you María and thank you my love, from the bottom of the ocean/ my heart.
