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!
