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 8 years ago with portrait photography as a hobby; and slowly worked myself up to where I am now. Around two 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.

It’s been great working with Melissa for shoots at RR Stone! The images are brilliant but she’s also very easy to work with – responsive and friendly which is fab. Looking forward to working with her on projects going forward 🙂
The Coppermines & Lakes Cottages Homes
Fabulous, professional service from Melissa. The photographs were promptly sent to us the very next day and showed our properties at their very best. We have seen an increase in bookings as a result.

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

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 was able to accommodate a short notice request to photograph our holiday property. Being entirely new to marketing property we were very grateful for Melissa’s guidance, given very diplomatically and with great good humour. The whole experience of working with Melissa was an absolute pleasure and we have no hesitation in recommending her. The photographs speak for themselves Melissa provided them the day the pictures were taken and our bookings surged when they went on line. Reasonably priced and excellent service!

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
