About Melinda Toth Photography

Melinda

Owner

Hi, I’m Melinda! I’m a wedding and portrait photographer serving couples throughout Washington, DC, Virginia, Maryland, and beyond. My approach is romantic, joyful, and true to you, blending beautiful portraits with the genuine moments that make your story yours. I love capturing everything from thoughtfully planned details to quiet glances, happy tears, and laughter with the people you love most. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me with my family, walking my Vizsla, Maverick, golfing, traveling, or enjoying a cozy night at home. 🤍

Your wedding day should feel like a celebration, not a photoshoot. I blend thoughtful direction with a documentary approach so you can feel comfortable in front of the camera while still being fully present with the people you love. I take time to get to know each couple, understand what matters most to them, and create an experience that feels personal and effortless. The result is a gallery filled with romantic portraits, meaningful details, genuine emotion, and all the little in-between moments that bring you right back to how your wedding day felt.

    Beautiful experience

    Melinda photographed our engagement shoot. I chose Melinda because I was immediately drawn to her style of photography. She is patient, kind, and incredibly professional. She guided my now-husband and me through each pose and made sure we always felt comfortable. My husband is usually the most awkward person, especially around strangers, but he felt completely at ease in front of the camera thanks to Melinda. She created such a relaxed, effortless atmosphere that we almost forgot we were being photographed, so every kiss and smile felt genuine and natural. Thank you so much Melinda!

    Amazing Experience

    Melisa photographed our wedding three years ago and we loved her so much we had her do our maternity photos! She made us feel so comfortable and we loved our pictures!

    MELINDA IS AMAZING!!!

    Melinda was an absolute joy to work with throughout the entire process. We first met her for our engagement photos, which gave us the chance to get to know her and feel more comfortable together before the big day. By the time our wedding arrived, it was clear that her vision perfectly aligned with everything we had hoped for—it was truly perfect. Melinda (and her day of team) were incredibly professional, warm, and wonderful with all of our guests. We honestly can’t imagine our day without her. The photos we’ve seen so far are stunning, and we’re so excited to see the rest!

    So amazing!

    Melinda is incredible! We were able to do an engagement session which allowed us to work together and get an idea of each other’s likes and preferences which made the wedding day flow so nicely. Our sneak peak photos from our wedding are INCREDIBLE! We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer.

    Great Experience

    We have loved working with Melinda! She has done our engagement pictures and is booked for our wedding later this year. Melinda was able to put my fiance at ease during our session and the pictures turned out great. She was also super patient with our puppy who is never good at sitting still.


I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.
Typically, couples book me about 13 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.
Sometimes, I’ll bring one or more assistant photographers depending on the size of your wedding. Don’t worry, this won’t cost you extra.
Definitely. All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful. I also offer retouching services like blemish removal and teeth whitening for an additional charge.
My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 6-8 weeks after your wedding. However, you will get sneak peaks within 1-2 days after your wedding.
In my years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve never cancelled a booking. In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my colleagues or my contracted assistant. I’ll also provide you with a list of photographers from the many networking groups I’m in, so you can find the perfect replacement.
You can expect about 60 to 80 images per hour of photographing. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors.
