A lil' bit about me


I absolutely love taking photos, or is it creating them? A bit of both I think.


Hi I'm Mel, and I've been photographing weddings, people and places for over 15 years in Dunedin now, and I love every minute.

Meeting so many wonderful people, hearing their stories and sharing in a couples big day, family get together or celebration, it's such a privilege to be a part of all of it.


I look forward to hearing from you, and hope I can help provide you with some amazing memories, to pass down through your family.


Here are a few lovely things, kind couples have said about their wedding photography experience with me 🫶

“"Words cannot even explain how extremely grateful I am for Mel & her walking this journey with us. Such an amazing women who radiates such kindness & it brings me to tears just thinking about how grateful I am for the fact she went over and beyond to make sure the chaos & madness was hidden in the shadows & only the love & support shined through. As someone who has always hated photos, she made it very hard to find ones I didn't like, which has never occurred before. I would highly, highly recommend her"”
