Katy Melling, North East of England Wedding Photographer…

Hi All 🙂  Well, we’ve still had no snow up here in the North East of England, I hear it’s pretty bad in other areas o the UK – how is it where you are?

Anyway, talking of the North East, I am so pleased this morning to have the opportunity to introduce you to a new Love My Dress sponsor, North East of England Wedding and Lifestyle Photographer, Katy Melling.  I adore Katy’s beautiful, informal, documentary style Wedding Photography – more of which will be making an appearance on Love My Dress next week – but for today, I’d like to hand over to the lady herself to maker her own introduction 🙂

“Hi, I’m Katy, the face behind the camera at Katy Melling Photography.  I live in the North of England with Tim my fiance and Daisy our crazy cocker spaniel.  I specialise in photographing people (and Daisy!), particularly at weddings, portrait shoots and parties. 

Wedding photography is a passion for me, I adore documenting the hard work and attention to detail that goes into making every little girls dream day the best day of their lives.  I have photographed some beautiful diverse and unique weddings, every single one without exception has moved me… I can’t tell you how difficult it is to get that all important shot with a tear in your eye!

I live in Newcastle Upon Tyne and work mainly in the North East of England, but have also worked in a variety of locations across the UK and overseas…”

“I’d describe my photography as informal, documentary and reportage – which means that I get natural, un-staged and flowing shots of people having fun and enjoying their family and friends special day.  I pride myself on having a low key presence, which allows me to drift into the perfect position to get those fly on the wall shots…”

“I’ve run my own business for six years and love the lifestyle and freedom that being a self employed photographer brings.  I’m currently in the midst of planning my own wedding and seem to spend half my time on blogs like Love My Dress, looking at dresses and lusting over vintage jewellery!

The people I meet make my job the most rewarding job there is; my motivation comes from getting to know my wonderful clients and producing photographs that bring a tear to their eyes.  You can only achieve that if you really know your clients and care about what you’re producing and I do!”

“If I wasn’t a Wedding Photographer, I’d be an interior designer; I have an artistic background and any job I had would have to be creative.  I feel so lucky to be a photographer, to constantly have the freedom to be creative, and I get to live out my interior design dreams by giving our house a make over three or four times a week… Its never too soon to change a wall colour is it Tim?!”
