Maxi Photography Full Description
My wedding photography will capture your day in a natural and stylish way, whilst I blend into the background. "We hardly knew you were there but your organisation helped our day run smoothly – we couldn’t have done it without you!" (Chris & Liz Hall). A wedding pre-shoot or 'engagement' shoot allows us to get to know each other a little better, putting you at ease in front of the camera whilst I learn how you interact as a couple. We will also pop along to the venue, to discuss those key shots and how we can achieve them; doing this before the day means that I know exactly what you want, leaving you to just enjoy yourselves when the time comes. On the wedding day, from hair and make-up I’ll be there capturing those special moments; the laughs, thoughts, tears. The boys don’t get left out either – an assistant photographer will be there with them too, so together you will be able to relive the day and have a glimpse into each other’s preparations! Together, myself and my assistant will capture beautiful images throughout the day and only after the first dance will we then leave you to party the night away. Prices start at £1995 for full-day coverage. Part-Day coverage and Elopement Packages can be available during weekdays and for non-peak season weddings - please ask for details.

The best wedding photographer
What can I say about Mel not only is she so professional at what she does and her photos are amazing, she’s very caring and understanding and makes you feel very comfortable in front of the camera, she also helps you through the whole day guiding you through what needs to happen and the extra bonus is she brings her husband Justin along with her and all the boys said how amazing he was at helping them get ready and sorting them out. We are so blown away with our photos they’re absolutely gorgeous and she captured so many cherished moments for us what made the day even more special and all the guess who have looked at are photos have said how beautiful they are, Mel stayed even later in the evening for me and help me keep my surprise from Chris and catch the most amazing photos of the fireworks at the end of the evening, all are guess kept saying how lovely Mel and Justin are. We would highly recommend Maxi to anyone looking for a photographer, they will not disappoint.🥰

The best wedding photographer around !!
Maxi photography are absolutely incredible. The photos we received are so perfect and capture the day so well. Looking through the photos is like relieving our wedding day all over again!! Mel and Justin are also so fun to have around on your day. But to be honest most of the time we didn’t even realise they were there! The pre wedding shoot was also such a great bonus. It allowed us to get used to having our photo taken and feel more comfortable in front of the camera. Our wedding day was also one of the hottest days of the year (about 34 degrees!!) and this didn’t even seem to phase them! I am so grateful to Mel and Justin for the incredible job they did.

Not yet received wedding pics as it was only last...
Not yet received wedding pics as it was only last week but engagement pics were fantastic. Mel and Justin were the perfect pair both leading up to the wedding and on the day and we couldn't imagine having any other people to photograph rhe biggest day of our lives. If we are ever blessed with children we will certainly be in contact for another photo shoot! And maybe a dog photo shoot too!!!?

Mel went above...
Mel went above and beyond to make our day so perfect. All the guest said she was amazing and made them feel so relaxed. She was so professional and fun at the same time. I wouldn't have changed a thing, Mel was perfect in every way.

On the day Mel...
On the day Mel and Justin made us feel very relaxed and as if they weren’t there. She reminded us of “Lara croft” as she had 2 cameras on each side to get a quick change instead of fiddling with lenses. Mel managed the wedding group shots extremely well and the photos were returned to us only 3 weeks after the wedding. She has captured the day perfectly and we both found us reliving the emotion as we went through the hundreds of photos. Great job. Would highly recommend Mel.

Mel was fantastic throughout the whole process. From the point of booking she was brilliant at communicating with us to arrange meetings etc. She helped us plan the timings for the whole day. The guests mentioned Mel many times since our wedding and recognised how brilliant she and Justin (her husband and second photographer) were at organising everyone in a fun and calm way. We love the style of pictures Mel takes and were really happy with our wedding photos and engagement shoot photos.

Mel...
Mel and Justin made an instant impression and made us so comfortable. Considering the price we paid was very reasonable, this included and engagement shoot which really helped come the big day. It was also great to have two photographers meaning that every moment for both the bride and groom was caught.

We are absolutely thrilled with our photographs...
We are absolutely thrilled with our photographs. Mel and Justin were an absolutely pleasure to be around all day and I can't recommend them highly enough. I was a bit nervous in the morning but Mel made me laugh and relax. Our guests said what lovely people they are too! When I met Mel she was a lot more technically confident then many other photographers we spoke to, her editing style is beautiful and we couldn't have asked for a better experience than we received.

Maxi Photography instantly made us feel comfortable when we first met them & they blended in so well on the day, it was like having extra friends at our wedding. Nothing was too much trouble & they truly care about making your day special; they ensured everything ran to time & no moment or detail was missed. Our wedding photos captured our truly magical day perfectly and we cannot thank them enough for all of their hard work & beautiful photos. We will treasure the memories and images forever.

FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

Every wedding is memorable, in it's own unique way.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Creative, modern, timeless, artistic, unintrusive

What about your business are you most proud of?

Our images!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Try to keep everything in perspective.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

Oooh that's a tough one! There's been so many! I think keeping it personal is key.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Un-intrusive, natural images whilst getting ready with maybe a few 'composed' shots before the main event. Subtle shooting throughout the ceremony, quick and efficient formal group shots and as little time with the bride and groom as possible (they want to spend time with their friends and family, and not me!) All whilst capturing the finer details and stories as they unravel throughout the day.

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

Natural ones!

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

If I get asked to take a specific photo, then it's normally already been shot and seen on Pinterest etc. The original photos are the natural photos of the happy couple I think!

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Do not panic! Photos in the rain can be really beautiful! Prepare, have a pretty brolly to hand and you probably won't need it... In reality, IF it is an inclement day, we will have planned for this already, so trust your photographer! In our experience, it's rarely bad all day, so we will do our best to work around the weather and still ensure we achieve the finest images for you.

Describe how you got into photography.

I took photography at Art College (a 'few' years lol!) ago, travel called then life took over and another 'few' years later I picked up the camera again in the background at friends weddings. A pet portrait lead to a wedding (I know!), which lead to a few more and the rest as they say is history! Maxi has been my full-time occupation now since 2014 and although it's hard work, I love every single second!
