Hi my name is Melissa, I'm a Perth wedding photographer. I live on a large farm not far from Perth, I'm married to a farmer and have two beautiful (some times painful) kids. I'm a red wine lover, wannabe minimalist, that's trying to eat more plants.
Photography is such a passion and I believe it's something we should leave behind for our loved ones.
These treasured images of me and my loved ones are captured by my gorgeous friend Michelle from Folklore Photography.
My Photography Style | Organic | Candid | Timeless
I shoot candidly in a documentary fashion, listening and watching what's unfolding through the day and anticipating moments of emotion.. During your bridal party portraits I mix in a bit of creative portraiture making it relaxed, timeless and natural with soft gentle guidance and direction for unposed results.
I love movement in my images, grain, shadows and blur to help bring a sense of nostalgia and artistic flair.
Couples want to book me because memories and images are important to them and they connect with something in my work, on your big day you want to have fun, love, be tender, laugh, cry and dance like no-one is watching.. You want your images truthful, shot how it felt and looked. You also want to take some time to create some epic shots, that may mean climbing a fence, hiking in the bush or climbing rocks....
I love shooting a range of weddings but have a special love for the non wedding, weddings

The highlights video she made for us was just perfect, she captured such beautiful footage and the music chosen to go with the video was like it was especially made for it. I would recommend Melissa to anyone! Thank you so much Melissa for making such a beautiful keep sake for us to remember our special day by."

"Hey Mel,
The box was such a cute touch to an already unfaultable service!
You have no idea how thankful and how lucky we feel that we found you!
The photos are Everything that I wanted! There is so much emotion in every single one and the cheekiness of some of them is just amazing!
I will get some up on Facebook and insta as soon as both our parents have seen them😃
I can't wait to show everyone and I will be sure to recommend you to anyone looking for a photographer!"
"So happy!I just wanted to write a quick note to tell you how much we LOVE our photos! We had to collect them at the post, which we weren’t able to do until yesterday. The very first thing I said when we woke up…”Get dressed, we have to go to the post to get our photos!”, haha. When we went through them, P finally looked at me and said, you have said “Awwww, I love it!” to almost every single one of them.
You honestly went so far above and beyond, so much so that I know I will never be able to choose my favourites, there are too many amazing ones! I actually had no idea our emotions/love could be translated to photo like that, you are a very talented woman :)"
Hi Mel
Just wanted to say a big thank you for our photos. They arrived yesterday and are exactly what we had hoped for - a beautiful record of how our day unfolded with the people we love most. We love how you managed to capture some of the moments we missed in the hustle and bustle of the day, and had us chuckling at some pictures and getting a bit misty-eyed at others.
Thank you so much for sharing your talent and for being both professional and warm along the way. We certainly feel fortunate to have found you at the beginning of your wedding photography career, and have no doubt that you are destined for great things!
Thank you again. J and B
You truly are incredible. Thank you not only for being so talented - photos, makeup and HAIR!!!! But you also are down to earth, calm and bubbly all in one which really helped make the day extra special!! Thank you for going to the lengths that you did to make our day special. Can't wait to see the rest! These are just perfect xxxx (mother of the bride)
