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.

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.

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.

How Bank, Ambleside
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.
