About Melissa and Tom
Hi! Welcome to Wit and Folly, our website dedicated to helping you with filmmaking, photography, and epic adventures.
Hi! We’re Melissa and Tom (and Sushi our Shih Tzu) and welcome to our little corner of the world! We’re Seattle based professional travel photographers, filmmakers, and bloggers who are passionate about teaching you everything we know about the industry.
Whether you’re picking out new photography and filmmaking gear to get started with, have questions about how to use social media, or you’re a part-time professional looking to take it full time, we’re here to help!
When we’re not geeking over the newest camera gear, you can find us on one of our adventures around the world. In our hearts, we’re a couple of travel-loving, adventure-seeking creatives who choose to see the world in full color (and with a touch of whimsy and wonder.) We hope that our blog inspires you to explore more and often and to discover a sense of wonder and appreciation for the world we live in.
