About this supplier

On Hitched.co.uk since 2025

Last update: October 2026

Getting married your way? I’m here for it. Wear something colourful, skip the traditions you don’t fancy and spend the day having a brilliant time with your favourite people. I’m Mel, a Bristol wedding photographer with a love for weddings full of personality, and I’ll capture yours with all the colour, fun and feeling it deserves. The confetti in your hair, the champagne spray, your mates absolutely losing it on the dance floor. Along with the tight hugs and quiet little moments you’ll want to remember just as much. My approach is relaxed and mostly documentary, so you can be in the middle of it all while I photograph what unfolds. And if being in front of a camera makes you feel awkward, don’t worry. I’ll give you a little direction, keep things light and help you get lovely photos without spending half your wedding posing. A handful of family photos, a little time together, then back to your people. Whether you’re planning a festival wedding, a city celebration or something nobody’s quite done before, I’d love to hear your ideas. All couples, all love stories and all questionable dance moves welcome. I cover Bristol, the Cotswolds, the South West and beyond, with photography, photo and video packages, and shorter coverage available. Send me your date and tell me what you’re planning. The more you sound like yourselves, the better.

Amazing wedding photogtapher

We’re so chuffed that we picked Melanie as our wedding photographer. She was so relaxed, friendly and put everyone at ease. The photos are amazing, we couldn’t be happier. From the more formal group shots to the time spent taking a wander just the two of us, Melanie really captured the best of every moment. We were especially pleased with the ‘action’ shots in the evening. We hired a band and had a ceilidh which was equal parts hilarity and chaos - we laughed so hard and Mel did an incredible job of capturing the sheer joy, movement and dynamism of the dance. Thank you so much Mel! We’d hire you again in a flash xx

Absolutely incredible, would highly recommend

We are so unbelievably happy we chose this photography and videography team for our wedding. From the planning stage, Melanie was absolutely incredible — so friendly, organised, and talented. She made everything feel really easy and relaxed and always made sure we felt confident in what we had planned.

On the wedding day, both the photographer and videographer made us feel completely at ease. Neither of us are naturally comfortable in front of a camera, but they made everything feel so natural and relaxed, which made such a huge difference.

The final photos are absolutely stunning and capture the day perfectly. They’ve managed to get so many beautiful, natural moments that we didn’t even realise were happening at the time.

We’ve had so many compliments from guests and we genuinely couldn’t be happier. We would highly recommend them to anyone and will definitely use them again in the future.

OMG!!! We love the pictures!!!

From the moment Melanie arrived, everything felt easy.Neither of us love having our photo taken, but somehow she made the whole day feel completely natural. She just let us be ourselves, and captured everything exactly as it felt.

The photos are full of movement, colour, laughter, and real emotion. Looking through them feels like being dropped straight back into the day. Nothing felt staged or forced, and that’s what we loved most.

Melanie blended in so effortlessly that half the time we forgot she was even there, yet somehow she caught everything.

A friend, a companion and part of the wedding party!! Melanie is the one.

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.
