About

MEMBER SINCE 2021

Hey! My name is Melissa Ferrara and I’m a documentary lifestyle photographer specializing in portraits, weddings, and travel.

Melissa is Greek for “honey bee” and Ferrara is a Latin derivative of “ferrum” meaning “iron.” Boom. There you have Iron + Honey.

My favorite part about photographing weddings is all the unique ways there are to celebrate. Also, it’s so exciting being able to document all the emotion on such an important day knowing that people will be looking back on these photos for years to come. Photography is such an important part of a wedding. After the food is eaten and flowers are wilted, the photographs will be the only thing you have to remember the best day of your life.

Weddings are so stressful, but not if you work with Iron and Honey. Melissa was cool as a cucumber on the day of the wedding and was always really pleasant to speak with leading up to the big day. Melissa has such a beautiful artistic vision that she... Read More

My husband and I hired Iron + Honey to do an anniversary shoot for us in west loop and downtown Chicago. I found her business via instagram and loved the romantic and moodier style of some of her shoots. We already had an idea for what we wanted and ... Read More
