About
I love... Love. Love capturing those special moments between couples that aren't planned, just beautifully simple, natural and one-of-a-kind. From elopements and Civil Ceremonies; Church weddings to the smashing of glasses, I have experience shooting weddings of many kinds, and will cater to your needs individually. No two weddings are the same! From the moment we begin communicating, I will be on hand to answer any questions you might have about your day; what you hope to capture; whether you have a shot list or are happy for me to roam, and how you would like those special moments documented. My own style of photo journalism at weddings has proved very popular with my couples so far. Recent testimonials can be found below.
My style of wedding photography is reportage, but I can of course style and pose the family for more traditional wedding portraits; this can be discussed at our first meeting. Whether a cuppa in person or over Skype/FaceTime, I love getting to know my couples before the big day. I aim to be as unobtrusive as possible and capture those images you and your loved ones will treasure forever.
I offer packages to suit all budgets and can provide coverage from pre-ceremony preparations into the evening as you dance the night away. Should what you require not be listed below, please do get in touch - this includes firming up the finer details for weddings outside the UK. As a rule, couples generally book four to twelve months in advance, but even if your wedding is a few weeks away do get in touch; I may still have availability to capture your special day.
All photos are professionally edited and sent as both digital image files and as an online album for sharing and printing. Once I send you your images, they are yours to print and enjoy for years to come. Print to your heart's content, there are no additional or hidden fees with MGP.

Testimonials
On the morning of our wedding Mel was wonderfully relaxed, charming and fun to have around while I was getting ready. She produced gorgeous shots that captured moments I didn’t even know were happening, which was really amazing. My husband didn’t even notice that she was there during the ceremony as she was super discreet and always on the move! I cried (happy tears - as did my Mum!) when I opened up the link to our photos, as the way she had captured the feel of our day was incredible and I was really overwhelmed! Her attention to detail and commitment to finding the perfect position and shot is fantastic. This makes her photos not only beautiful, but a little different and really special. ❤ I honestly love our photos so much and can’t thank you enough. You’ve captured such poignant moments as well as flashes of fun, atmosphere and detail. We’ve got memories to treasure forever and I’m so grateful.

"Mel is a dream wedding photographer and if you have the opportunity to book her, don’t think twice. When we first started communicating in the lead up to the wedding she was always quick to respond and instantly understood what images we wanted out of our day. We are both very camera shy humans so really wanted someone who could capture us and our friends and family as naturally as possible, while still keeping it stylish. To say Mel nailed the brief is an understatement, we were completely blown away by the pictures we received. She captured so many moments we would have missed if not for her keen eye and she has given us photos we will treasure for years to come. On top of that, we received the photos quickly including some previews she even sent two days after our wedding. I am in no doubt that we were lucky to have had Mel as part of our day, and can not recommend her enough.”
