Devon Wedding Photographer
Welcome to Memories and Milestones Photography. I’m Melanie, a wedding photographer offering relaxed, natural wedding photography in Exeter, Devon and across the South West. If you are looking for a photographer who will capture all the special, candid moments of your wedding day, then you are in the right place – that’s what I do best! I’m so lucky that I’ve been able to turn my passion for photography into my job! One of the biggest thrills is when my couples receive their images and get to relive their day. I just like making people happy!
I understand that searching for a photographer can be confusing with so many styles to choose from. My aim is to make finding your perfect wedding photographer a little bit easier. I’ll make you feel at ease, allowing you both to be yourselves, resulting in a gorgeous set of images that tell your story. I’m a relaxed, friendly person and enjoy meeting new people. In most jobs, I guess you want to get noticed but wedding guests usually comment that I blend in and they hardly knew I was there! To me, this means I’m doing my job properly, unobtrusively capturing your day whilst you and your guests enjoy the celebration. I know you’ll be excited to see your photos so I’ll share selected highlights with you in just 48 hours and a full gallery of beautifully edited images within 3 weeks.
Memories & Milestones Wedding Photography
With more than 10 years’ experience, and having captured over 250 weddings, I have developed a relaxed wedding photography style and create natural, light and airy wedding photographs. This decade-long adventure has seen over 250 first looks, first kisses and first dances! My experience means I can anticipate all the little moments throughout the day and capture them for you to remember. I also understand that you will have been planning your dream day for a year or two so I’ll capture all the little details too. You can enjoy the day knowing that your memories are in good hands.
Whether it’s a large wedding with over a hundred guests, a small and intimate elopement, or a same-sex wedding, I’m dedicated to capturing the unique essence of your day. My diverse portfolio speaks for itself ~ as you explore my site, you’ll see the consistent quality in my wedding photography.
Wedding Photography in Devon
So what makes shooting weddings in Devon so special? Growing up in Devon has given me a special connection to the area and I’m passionate about showcasing the beauty of the surroundings. The wealth of picturesque landscapes serve as perfect backdrops for your wedding photos. I love the variety that Devon has to offer including rolling countryside, stunning coastlines and open moors. My local knowledge enables me to find the ideal spot for your couple portraits showcasing your chosen location and giving a personalised touch to your gallery.
Photographing weddings in Devon has also given me experience of shooting in a variety of different venues. I’m so lucky to have everything from historic castles to rustic barns right on my doorstep. Devon weddings also offer a rich tapestry of traditions, blending the old and the new. Fancy a cream tea reception in a modern barn conversion? Why not! (Jam on top if you’re doing it the Devon way!).
Working as a photographer in Devon has allowed me to build strong connections with local wedding businesses. This means you not only get a photographer, but a reliable source of wedding suppliers! Need a recommendation for a florist or a videographer? I’m only an email away. I’ve picked up lots of hints and tips along the way too so whatever you need help with, I’m here to make planning your Devon wedding easier!
I’m always striving to be one of the best wedding photographers in Devon & Exeter so I’m thrilled when my weddings are featured on top bridal blogs like Whimsical Wonderland Weddings, Boho Weddings, and The English Wedding Blog.
