    Perfect day….

    Melanie is so friendly and made us feel so relaxed during our shoots. We have only received our first look photos so far but even they are perfect. She has managed to capture all parts of the day and piece them all together to tell a story, we even managed to get her in the ball pit with the kids 🤭 thank you so much for everything and all your help during preparation x

    And that you both felt at ease with me.

    I had a great day,it was relaxed and I really enjoyed the ball pit!!

    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. She gave us a wide range of high quality photos which will treasure forever! Highly recommend Mel to anyone getting married.

    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.

    Amazing would recommend

    Honestly how do I start, Melanie was amazing from booking to supplying the photos. She captured exactly what we wanted, on the day the feedback from our guests was she was kind, captured candid photos of everyone and the pictures are absolutely perfect
