About

On Hitched.co.uk since 2025

Last update: February 2025

Hi! I am Mel, and I capture 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 wedding is all about genuine moments—the hugs, the tears, and the laughter. My goal is to capture these naturally, allowing you to fully enjoy your day without it feeling like one big photoshoot. I blend in seamlessly but present enough to document your story without disrupting it.

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.

Fun Facts:

  • I was once chess champion of Gloucester
  • Bristol has been my home for over 8 years, but I have lived and travelled all over
  • I once worked on a cruise ship in the Caribbean, taking pictures of holidaygoers!
  • I studied at Goldsmiths Uni, where I did painting and animation
  • I used to love to party, but now I prefer red wine and olives and an indie film on my evenings off.
  • Self-confessed chocoholic and shopaholic
