Hey I’m Mel and I’m a Documentary Photographer.

I aim to captured the unfiltered moments full of connection and adventure that occur in life across a multitude of medias including polaroid, film & digital photography!

Perfection is never the point of a wedding day for me-

Vibes > image

How did you feel-
Do they bring back the “just married” butterfly’s?

THATS my goal when I observe and document your day

D&N’s day captured through these eyes

Some portraits just happen

No plan, no light checks and no posing

Just the real YOU!

Family Photos don’t need to be shot at golden hour in some field or beach front.

They can be shot in your home or in your favourite dog trail! No need to be uncomfortable or stiff.

Instead just be YOU!

The moments between “The Moments” on the big day

These are the real moments-between the important but more predictable parts of the day. Those small looks of appreciation, tears, hugs and smiles.

These small moments are the ones I love to catch during a documentary wedding day. These are the moments you cannot plan or create!

A&M where so loved by everyone they invited it was an honour to capture these moments for them

The get ready

You can feel the excitement and anticipation!
The end of the night also tends to have the same excitement but the anticipation has melted into fulfillment 🧡

These two got ready next door to one another and met each other for their first look at the front door. No need for anything extra or fancy. Just them and their friends laughing and spending time getting ready just like you use to before any fun night out!

Thanks to my lovely second shooter

To invite or NOT invite your photog to the welcome dinner?

This is not a must by any means as sometimes the logistics just simply don’t work. When you’re able to, though, I have found this extremely beneficial for my clients and their loved ones to help them feel more present in their day and ability to ignore me!

As a documentary photographer I really aim to not interrupt any part of the day. I instead want to document evidence of how your day authentically unfolded
