Brilliant photography

We cannot recommend Melanie Jane enough! We had the pleasure of having Melanie capture our day and her attention to detail and professionalism was second to none! She was able to capture everything that we had discussed prior to our wedding and more! Even offered us a complimentary family shoot after our day as our youngest was not keen on posing for photos on the day! Melanie even stayed past the agreed to due to some late changes to the order of the day. Very good value for money and we had our image catalogue, very nicely presented in a bespoke box, within 2 weeks of our wedding day! Would definitely recommend Melanie Jane, friendly and attentive service at a very competitive price.

Friendly, Responsive and Professional - Highly Recommend

I couldn't recommend Melanie enough - throughout the entire wedding process she was extremely friendly, responsive and professional. From the initial getting to know you session to receiving our photos everything felt very organised and straightforward. And most importantly we absolutely loved the photos Melanie took! We were also fortunate enough to have Melanie's assistant Nat help out on our wedding day, so thank you both!

WOW an amazing photographer couldn't have asked for anything more!

Mel was absolutely amazing. She made everyone feel comfortable by blending in but also by taking charge when important shots were needed. We were running on a tight schedule and Mel was put under pressure yet she remained calm and professional and got all the shots that were needed and so much more.

The Getting to Know You shoot was great as my partner hates having his photo taken but this let him get to know Mel and feel more comfortable on our big day because he already knew Mel.

We really couldn't thank Mel enough or have found a nicer or more professional photographer if we tried.

Melanie made it a lovely experience and went above and beyond on our wedding day!

My partner and I really don’t like having our photos taken but Melanie made it a lovely experience and went above and beyond. I couldn’t recommend her services more, out of all of the people we hired for our day she really helped make it beautiful. Thank you so much, you’ll always be my first and only choice going forward!

Very Professional

Melanie was extremely professional, friendly and flexible for us, as we had separate events for the actual ceremony and party. She guided us through the process to ensure we had the right people ready for the right photographs, to ensure everything went smoothly .

Would highly recommend her.

Mel photography was amazing! On the lead up to the day she communicated effectively with us and ensured she captured every moment we wanted. Her calm nature made the day extra special for us.

Professional. talented & diligent.

Choosing a photographer can be such a challenging task but we feel like we were really fortunate to have found Melanie through Hitched. From start to finish she was amazing and definitely went above and beyond to ensure she captured amazing memories of our big day. As a couple we hate having our photos taken which Melanie was aware of but she guided us through so naturally and we were overjoyed with the results.

We highly recommend her as a photographer and wish her lots of success in her future.

Melanie was friendly, helpful and hard working!

Melanie was so friendly, helpful and professional from the initial booking and meeting, getting to know you shoot, catch ups and on the big day. We booked one of the wedding packages and have all our photos on a USB.
Melanie was very quick to respond to emails and questions.
We have some lovely photos from both our getting to know you shoot and our wedding day. We feel that Melanie worked so hard on the day, from giving me advice and help in the morning and capturing our wedding despite the terrible weather! She had some good ideas to get the shots we wanted and was flexible.

Fantastic from start to finish

Melanie made the process as smooth and as easy as possible. From the engagement shoot to the day of our wedding, Melanie put us at ease and was very professional. We couldnt rate her any higher, or reccomend her anymore to anyone.
The photos were amazing and she captured everything we asked for and more.
