LAKE DISTRICT BASED PHOTOGRAPHER - SPECIALISING IN PROPERTY

My Story
Hello, I’m Melissa! I’ve been passionate about photography for as long as I can remember. I started out around nine years ago with portrait photography as a hobby; and slowly worked myself up to where I am now. Around five years ago; I was lucky enough to go freelance specialising in interiors and property photography and what a journey it has been so far! I am originally from a little village called Silverdale in Lancashire, but now live and operate my business in the South Lakes and throughout Cumbria.
You may find the style of my work slightly different to some others photographers as I’ve always tried to portray natural and traditional styles in my work which you can see in my full portfolio here. If you’d like to book a shoot then please don’t hesitate to get in touch, even just to say hello! I’m based on the southern border of the Lake District but work all around the North West.

Melissa responded to my enquiry quickly and she was extremely kind and accommodating in agreeing to be our wedding photographer at short notice! She worked efficiently and discreetly to capture the special moments of our day. Melissa’s style perfectly complimented our autumnal wedding and we are thrilled with the results.

Would highly recommend using Melissa for a family photo shoot. She was very accommodating to such a large group including many animals and young children, nothing was too much trouble, and she was patient and professional throughout the process. The outcome of the photos was phenomenal and were back the same day.

We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Melissa’s work. She did a photo shoot at our house in Ambleside for us to use to advertise it as a holiday let and did an amazing job. The photographs look great, we couldn’t be happier with them. Melissa was very responsive when we were arranging the work and arrived promptly and turned around the photographs for us to use really quickly. Melissa is very friendly, enthusiastic and professional.

Great photo shoot today at Holly-wood Guest House, led by Melissa Watts. Melissa delivered amazing photos which were beyond our expectations. We can’t wait to upload the pictures onto our website and social media. We really appreciated receiving the edited photos electronically on the same day as the photo shoot at no extra charge.

Melissa captured our photos of our dog, Merlin, just perfectly. She went above and beyond to capture such beautiful photos that we will treasure forever
How Melissa managed to get so many photos of a very bouncy and hyper, 6 months old cocker spaniel puppy, we’ll never know.
Absolutely recommend to anyone
