About

On Hitched.co.uk since 2025

Last update: December 2025

Your wedding isn’t about posing for the camera- it’s about YOU. The way you throw your head back laughing, the quiet moments between the big ones. It’s about the people who mean the most to you, the hugs that linger a little longer, the tears that fall before you even realise they’re coming.

Hi! I am Mel, a Bristol based photographer who captures love stories in a natural, fun, and relaxed way. Often yo-yo-ing between documenting your big day, cracking jokes, and being super chill, I am more of a bestie with a camera. Your day should feel like your wedding, not a photoshoot. My job is to let you sink fully into it, to be present, wildly in love, and completely yourselves while I quietly capture it all as it unfolds. I’ll blend in with your guests, move with the flow, and step forward only when needed, so nothing feels forced or staged. With 11 years of experience, I know how to strike that perfect balance, ensuring your day flows effortlessly while preserving every meaningful moment.

About me? Wildly kooky and often covered in cat fur, I’m also mum of the business and mum of two little pickles, Jago and Esme. I love all things creative with a certain passion for nostalgia- vintage photos, stately homes, antiques, cosying up in front of a fire. My 5’4 self will likely and willingly get kidnapped by anyone offering hot chips, cat cuddles or a beach hol.

If you’re ready to move forward, I’d love to hear from you. Get in touch to book your session and let’s create some magic together! Availability is limited, so I recommend securing your spot early. Looking forward to working with you!

Great photographer!

Melanie was very relaxed, friendly and down to earth, she just went with the flow on the day which was perfect for us.
She did everything that we asked of her on the day and more, even collecting the buttonholes and helping to pin them on the Groomsen!
She got all the impotant shots and lots of lovely candid ones too which was exactly what we wanted.
We were given an online gallery to download all our lovely photos from which was very easy and straightforward to use, and also gave us a mobile app with our photos on too.
We would absolutely recommend her and we were happy to have her be part of our day.

Mel is fantastic!

Mel is such a kind hearted soul, professional at all times and made us both feel so comfortable on our special day. The photos have turned out wonderfully romantic and colourful, exactly the vibe we were going for. We can't wait to print them off and display them everywhere! The digital album is user friendly and we have been able to share with family & friends so easily. 10/10 would recommend.
