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.

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.

Excellent service, Brilliant photos!

Melanie Jane was an absolute professional! She was a joy to work with and easy to get on with. She went the extra mile and was flexible with the days plans.

Melanie captured amazing moments of our wedding day and made sure all our key photos were captured. She’s very creative and clearly loves what she does. Our wedding photos looked amazing, with every detail and colour captured brilliantly.

We made the best decision in booking Melanie Jane’s photography services and would highly recommend.

Perfect photographer understood the assignment and put me at ease.

I am extremely introvert and private person, the photographer was what I was dreading most about the wedding as I absolutely hate having my picture taken. I was feeling so uncomfortable with the thought of being in the limelight, but Melanie absolutely put me at ease…I didn’t even notice she was taking photos the majority of the time- candid and directed poses were completed with ease and Melanie has provided us with so many good shots that I will treasure..capturing every element of the day! Thank you so much!

Excellent photographer

Our photographer, Melanie, demonstrates professionalism and courtesy. Our wedding photos are high quality, good lighting so natural and beautiful. She captured a lot of cherished moments which are beautifully preserved. She helped me a lot with my poses and gave me some ideas. We had a lovely presentation of our photos.

Wonderfully skilled, friendly and highly professional - must be your first choice!

Melanie and Beth assured great commitment, patience and understanding in delivering our photography plus driving ideas should there have been mixed weather opportunities and timings to make our moments be treasured on our special day.
We are thrilled with how it went, so were especially pleased for having chosen to work with Melanie and Beth, as their experience and skill was certainly noted.
Not only on the day, but in the build-up, we found their time in a getting to know you session plus communication as well as working with the venue at The Lawn very reassuring. This along with making us and our guests comfortable means that they made it very special and it will always be memorable for us, as well as many others.
The personalised USB stick with all the images arrived in a wonderful wooden box along with a handful of print outs - just lovely - hugely recommended and priceless value. You want to seek Melanie's availability before any other options.
