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.

Private Shoot
Melissa’s photographs of our holiday let in Windermere have brought the place to life. Every room was captured perfectly with a range of angles and everything perfectly staged. Melissa is friendly and communicated well ahead of the shoot as well as after. We were particularly impressed by how efficient the turnaround was with the edited photos being shared with us the same day as the shoot.
We are so pleased with the photos and would definitely recommend, thanks Melissa! X

Melissa has just taken photos for our re-opening of our B&B after lockdown and I cannot recommend her enough. She is amazing!
The rooms all look fantastic in the photos we received (very quickly) and it’s just what we need for our website and various social media and booking channels. On a personal level Melissa is friendly, professional, and very easy to communicate with about what you want. Thank you Melissa

Private Shoot
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

Holly-wood Guest House
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.

Private Shoot
I would highly recommend Melissa for her wonderful photography and for being such a lovely relaxed person to work with on a photo shoot. We had a pet photo shoot of our dog, Sandie, and Melissa captured our dogs character and beauty in her work. The photos have provided us with a beautiful keepsake that will give us wonderful memories – thank you Melissa x

Melissa came to photograph our properties. She was quick and very professional. She really went the extra mile to give us good service and we’re so pleased we found her. We have more properties coming up and we’ll DEFINATELY be getting her back to take some more photos for us.

Chequers Lodge
I was recommended Melissa for a property photoshoot to promote our new hospitality business ‘Chequers Lodge’. She sent a quote over for the job within the hour and also confirmed her availability, which was brilliant. She was so friendly and approachable. Melissa advised of her turnaround time, which was the next day!! The service from start to finish was amazing. So pleased with the photos we received.
