Stories With Mel

Five stars is nowhere near enough to give Mel. We are SO glad we chose her to share our day with us. From the get-go, Mel made us feel totally at ease and comfortable. She has such a good energy and is a genuinely kind, warm person. We had so many guests contact us after the wedding to tell us how amazing she is – which we already knew!The photos we have seen from our day are nothing short of amazing. Mel has truly captured moments and got the exact vibe we were after. We have already decided we miss Mel so much we’ll book her in for family sessions in the future.-Rach and Ced 12.2.22

From the moment we virtually met Mel on zoom and talked for hours, we knew we couldn't have asked anyone else to be our photographer for the day. We had such an instant connection with her - it was as if we were old friends who haven't seen each other in so long! She is able to get the best out of anyone who is in front of her camera.Here is just some of the things that amazed us about Mel:- She knew exactly how to get the most genuine reactions out for each photo, whether it be groomsmen, bridesmaids, families or us.- She made everyone feel super comfortable to be able to laugh and enjoy being part of the photos.- She was fun yet assertive when it came to organising large groups of people for photos.- We really appreciated just how quickly she provided us with the sneak peek photo gallery.- She was flexible and dynamic on the day when we needed to move around for mingling, dancing, and speeches etc.- She was very responsive to our emails and had excellent communication during the lead up and on the day.- She provided plenty of information on her website before the day to educate us on how to get the most out of our day including wedding timeline, group photos and recommended vendors.From the photos we have received so far, she has far exceeded our expectations and all our family and friends have loved the way she has captured the vibe of the day.We know this will certainly not be the last time we see each other!

Mel is an absolute gem! Looking through her photos you can see just how talented she is. There is such warmth and joy in all her photos and looking through our album, brings back every emotion from the day.There were so many thoughtful touches, from checking in before the day, getting a preview back 2 days after the wedding (!), to the super sweet keepsake box and USB with our album.As well as this, Mel is just a lovely person. She is so easy to get along with, was the ultimate hype person and also such a calming presence to have on the day. She’s great at capturing candid photos but also giving you instructions if you’re unsure in front of the camera. We could not recommend Mel highly enough! We feel so lucky to have met her and are so thankful that we have such amazing photos to look back on for the rest of our lives!

Mel is not only an amazing photographer but such a lovely human being. She was great to deal with all through the planning process. Responsive and thoughtful throughout all our questions and updates via email and video call. It was so amazing to be photographed by her on our big day. So many of our friends and family complemented on how wonderful she was. We felt so comfortable in front of the camera with her. Highly recommend! Thank you Mel! Georgia and Zack

We knew straight away that Mel was our gal, meeting with her for coffee was a delight, we felt so at home and comfortable straight away, just like catching up with an old friend. We got home from that first meeting and Liam said “we have to have her!” Mel has this incredible way of making you feel so cool, calm and collected, so relaxed among the chaos. It’s not every day that you’re in front of a camera in the professional sense and Mel makes it an effortless task. It’s hard to pinpoint it but her spirit is infectious and her professionalism, whilst unwavering, has the most amount of lax joy attached to it.On our big day she was there bright and early, ready for action and has a beautiful methodology to her work... most certainly not her first rodeo! She worked effortlessly with our bridal party, other vendors and well heck, everyone! Mel stuck by us covid postponement, after covid postponement and she was absolutely our biggest cheerleader. And when we got our gallery.. WOOWWWEEEE! Our socks were blown off! Do yourself a favor and pop over to Mels Instagram and let yourself get lost. I could write an essay on what a cool cat Mel is and how magnificent she and her work is but truly her images speak for themselves.You’d be absolutely crazy to not have Mel with you on your big day.Love Abi & Liam

Mel I wish I could give you 100 stars on this platform!! We absolutely adored having you around us on our wedding day!I knew the second I found mel's profile on instagram after I got engaged that she was the photographer I HAD to have. Natural, beautiful bright light, candid... this was exactly the style we were going for! And boy did she deliver (and deliver quickly!). We got the most beautiful sneak previews the next day after our wedding, and about 30 photos 5 days later. I am completely obsessed with them!!! Her photos made me feel all the emotions from our day all over again. We've had so many compliments about how beautiful our photos are. I can't thank you enough for them Mel - you truly have an amazing talent!In the lead up to our day Mel was organised, easily contactable, happy to assist with any questions and so friendly and warm. She was such a friend and support when our wedding couldn't go ahead on our first attempt due to COVID.We also booked Mel for an engagement shoot - mostly for my husband who hates the camera. I still don't know how you do it Mel - but you made us both feel so comfortable.Her photos are absolutely divine. I would recommended Mel 1000000000x to anyone looking to get married.

We feel so, so lucky to have had the absolutely incredible Mel capture our wedding day. Our photos are pure magic, and from the moment we opened our preview gallery we couldn't stop smiling (and crying just a little!).In addition to her stunning photography, we're also so grateful to Mel as a person – she made us feel so comfortable and at ease in the lead-up and throughout the whole day, and we honestly just loved hanging out with her! So many of our guests also commented on how wonderful she was. Basically, Mel is a delight, her photos are phenomenal, and we couldn't recommend her more highly to anyone looking for the perfect wedding photographer :)Claire + Nathan

We were really looking for a personal connection with our wedding photographer and we were lucky enough to have found that with Mel!!It was honestly such a pleasure having Mel with us on the day, Mel is so incredible at what she does while also being an incredible person!We have had SO many positive comments from our guests about Mel on the day, she really made us feel so relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera & we are absolutely in love with all of our wedding photos.

Where to begin...Thank you Mel, for your professionalism, contagious energy and guidance throughout the whole process! Mel made our wedding and all communication before/after the day so relaxed, enjoyable and calm. Her expertise and passion radiates in every single shot she has taken.I will forever be able to relive our special day because of Mel and how she has authentically captured our wedding in such a beautiful and unique style. Every single photo radiates love, happiness and warmth. I have no idea how Mel went above and beyond to capture every single moment in such detail, whilst bringing so much magic into it. Our bridal party and guests commented straight away on how amazing and friendly Mel was on the day and are admiring how incredible the photos are! There are just no words to describe Mel and I am blown away with the quality and quantity of photos received. I've been smiling ear to ear whilst going through the gallery and these photos will be cherished and admired every single day without hesitation.Jen & Daniel xx
