Wedding Sessions
Intimate Wedding Photography
Calm, storytelling-led photography for couples who want their wedding day to feel personal, meaningful, and completely their own.
I specialise in small, intimate weddings, elopements, and relaxed celebrations. The kind where dogs might walk down the aisle, vows are deeply personal, and every detail reflects who you truly are.
Whether you're dreaming of something whimsical, romantic, quietly magical, or inspired by the worlds you love (yes, Lord of the Rings lovers are always welcome here), my role is to gently capture the emotion, connection, and fleeting moments of your day.
Wedding collections begin at £500.
Half-day and full-day storytelling options available.
For full details, please get in touch for my wedding brochure, along with your wedding date.

"We’ll cherish these memories forever"
Melanie photographed our wedding back in July 2021 on a beautiful summers day and we couldn't have asked for more. She arrived on time, directed us for our group photos, took beautiful ceremony photos and created memories that will last forever. Thank you!
Kim & Rhys
"We love every single image"
We booked Mel for our wedding back in December 2019 and with the Christmas vibes going, even when it rained a little nothing stopped her from getting the photographs we asked for. She was professional, friendly and felt like one of the guests.
Christina & Craig
"The Day Was Just Perfect!"
Knowing Mel since she was a teen, we knew we had to have her photograph our wedding as she knew us personally. We had such a fun filled day and am glad she was there to capture the moments! They are perfect and we love them to this day.
Laura & Neil
"What A Wonderful Day!"
Mel was fantasic on our wedding day! She took the photos we asked for and went above and beyond to help on the day. We love our pictures so much and are very grateful to her and her second photographer who helped the day run smoothly and create beautiful photographs for us.
