About NLC PORTRAITS LLC

NLC PORTRAITS LLC

Photographer

I am a 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 a father of four wonderful kids. I've been a photographer since 2016. I enjoy capturing those candid moments because those are special moments in time that can't be recreated or duplicated. I started New Light Creation Photography shortly after I began taking pictures. I came up with the name because, as we often see some things in black and white I seek to offer a third option. Or shall I say a new light if you will? I want to offer a different way of how you view yourself and how others see you.

My focus is your wedding day. From beginning to end I'm very hands on. I like to be actively assisting in capturing every intricate detail of what matters to you. The process for my clients is very transparent and seamless to the client.

    Beautiful pictures!

    Working with NLC PORTRAITS LLC for our wedding photography was a great experience. The photos were all lightly edited to look very natural, and were given the option for vintage as well. Melvin always made sure to check in on me to make sure I was doing alright during the hustle before the ceremony, and he was great at making the couples photos feel less staged and more natural. He was also fast with communication, and got the photo album back to us very quickly. We would definitely ask Melvin to be our photographer again in the future.

    We used NLC Portraits for our outdoor wedding. Melvin was the most professional and talented photographer. He was able to bring out the best in myself and my husband. The lighting in his pictures is perfect and flattering. I am one of those people who hate having my picture taken, but Melvin delivered images that made me feel truly beautiful. We have amazing pictures of ourselves, our friends and family, and our ceremony to look back on that are absolutely stunning.

    This was our first time ever taking professional photos and Melvin was amazing. Very kind, patient and accommodating. The day that we did our photos the wind was against us but Melvin pushed through and we were able to get some amazing photos that we absolutely love. We are so excited for our wedding and can’t wait for Melvin to share our big day with us and capture us and our family! Thanks so much Melvin you are absolutely amazing and so talented! Well we had the wedding and when I tell you Melvin did not disappoint. I have so many photos and all of them are so us, very genuine and candid moments captured. I could have not asked for better. Melvin you are wonderful to work with and we can't wait to work with you in the future. Thank you again so much for everything.

I love being by your side to help you before your wedding day. I''ll send you a guide or photo list to help you organizing your day, the best moments for the couple photos, the different lights. On your wedding day, all I want to capture is the feelings, the mood, the emotions, the calm and crazy moments and all the details that make your wedding unique.
I am based in Chesapeake, Virginia and yes I love to travel! If you want me to photograph your story, it will require a travel fee, depending on where it takes place. But no worries, I always try to find the cheapest way to come because it's about your day and time.
Your will receive an online gallery link with all your photos within maximum 2 weeks. You can download all the photos from the gallery but also share them, choose your favorites, and also order prints!
For a 4 hour coverage wedding, you will receive up to 400 lightly edited images. I always choose quality rather than quantity and that''s why I will choose the best and more significant photos to tell your story.
