Hello I’m Melissa

(megan is my middle name)

I’m a Hampshire-based wedding & family photographer

I love capturing genuine, candid moments, and I couldn’t be more grateful to have built a career as a full-time wedding and family photographer.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to be a photographer

I first picked up a camera in an after school photography club where I learnt to use an old film SLR camera. My Grandpa had given me his camera to use and I was instantly hooked, capturing the beauty of the world in the way I saw it.

From endless hours playing around with the camera and learning how to develop the negatives in a dark room, photography quickly turned from a hobby into a passion.

In 2011 my parents bought me my first DSLR, and I went on to study photography at both college and University. I built up experience covering photography for weddings of close friends and family and assisting Wedding Photographers as a second shooter.

In 2017, I started Melissa Megan Photography. I worked part-time which allowed me to capture weddings and families on the weekends.

In 2020, I achieved my dream of becoming a full-time wedding photographer!

And in 2024, I opened Melissa Megan Studios, the new home of my family photography!

TODAY, I RUN MELISSA MEGAN PHOTOGRAPHY full time AND I COULDN’T be happier

My style is all about storytelling.

I love to blend candid moments with subtle direction, creating images that feel natural, romantic, and full of emotion. I believe weddings and family shoots are a reflection of your unique journey as a couple, and my goal is to capture that in a way that feels authentic and effortless.

Treasured moments

kind words from clients

On the day Melissa was professional and we didn’t notice her taking most of the photos that we have now.

– Mr & Mrs Knight

On the day she was amazing, so lovely and felt like far more than just our photographer

– Mr & Mrs Hazelwood

Nothing was a problem, she made us feel totally comfortable which meant our daughter wasn’t flustered. Our images are beautiful and we couldn’t be happier with them!
