I needed to get some publicity shots done for use in my business and a magazine article I had written. As someone who is not a fan of having my photograph taken I had been putting it off! I spoke to Lizzie and we arranged to meet up. Lizzie put me at my ease immediately and took time to understand who I was and therefore what I needed in order to be genuine and true to myself. I think Lizzie did a fabulous job of not only putting me at my ease (I actually enjoyed posing!) and also making sure I had a range of photographs to use throughout my business. I highly recommend Lizzie for your photographic needs! More...

Wedding Photography

I found Lizzie 3 months before our wedding day. Getting married in Cornwall and not knowing many local suppliers I have bark a try, to no success at first, then along came Lizzie. I didn’t want a full day of photography, so it was hard to find a photographer who was willing to do a half day, but Lizzie was so accommodating, she totally understood what we from our wedding day. her style is very natural, not over edited or filtered, just what we wanted. She was so generous with her time, arrived early and stayed late, her determination and passion to capture every special moment of our day really showed. I instantly clicked with her personality, she had great ideas for photos and was so funny, she made us feel at complete ease on our day and I loved having her be a part of our day. Guests could have their pics taken, she got some natural moments and was just overall absolutely brilliant. Very reasonable on price, and stunning results! We highly recommend Elizabeth Melvin Photography.

Lizzie is a very talented ,experienced photographer with an outgoing bubbly personality .Her teaching method is honest ,straight to the point and easily understood .
I attended a wedding photography course last Sunday and had a very enjoyable ,interesting day .I was given lots of great information from technical camera through to how to manage the day . Lizzie explained every thing thoroughly and was very mindful of making sure every body attending the course took what they needed away with them . Not an easy task when every body had different requirements and expectations of the course but she had us all laughing and at ease .
I would recommend Lizzie highly as a trainer and if I was getting married would be delighted to have her as my photographer on that special day .

My wife and I are extremely pleased with every aspect of Business that flows from this wonderful lady. Her knowledge, skill and personality are simply the perfect mix of professionalism and fun. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer at our wedding. Elizabeth is one who met our every need and even went beyond the call of duty for us. From that initial meeting right through to the completion of our photo album, Elizabeth puts 100% into the job. We would certainly recommend beyond belief! More...

I run a charity event over a 24hr period , we had around 300 people taking part + 35 x five a side football teams doing a tournament + 50 cancer survivors + unknown public. We had an amature photographer taking shots and Lizzy kindly stepped in. She managed to capture a cross array of any and everything giving a real feeling of the fun, emotion and cause of the event. We have used some of them for advertising etc... can't recommend her enough and you'll never find anyone who enjoys the job they do as much. It's a shame for us she's moved so far away lol More...

Lizzie is an absolutely fantastic photographer! She photographed our rather unusual wedding and was able to capture perfectly the essence of the day with candid shots as well as the usual “traditional” shots!
She is great fun and immediately puts you at ease so all of our photos looked completely natural and not forced or staged.
I have used Lizzie on a couple of other occasions, these being for family/children photos and a “boudoir”- style portrait. This shows her versatility! I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting a photographer!

Q&As

The secret of taking a great photograph of people is spending time with them before pulling out a camera. Find out what they most hate about being photographed. Is there a feature that is hated? Is there a preferred side? Have they a favourite photographic look perhaps? As people talk, they relax, as they relax, you get to see more the "real person". Only when I have a good idea as to what they want and that I see them a little better as people, do I start with my camera.

What do you want to achieve from this project?
Do you have a measurable goal to show that you have achieved it?
When do you need the completed photographs by?
What style of imagery are you looking for?
How long can the person/subjects be with me for?

I love the pleasure that presenting a great photograph/s bring to people. I also like being my own boss.

I realised that whilst I love working for Cancer Research UK, that it didn't fill the artistic need that I also have. I'd been a photographer for years and been brought up in a photographic, writing and artistic family surrounding. The actual kick was the unexpected, sudden death of my Mum. Not only a hugely sad loss, but it made me evaluate that time is precious and that I should be using it well.

I am a really good photographer. However, there are a lot of those! I am me. Lively, funny, patient, kindly, willing and can listen really well. I will make every effort to create not just what you say that you want, but in addition, ideas that I think would work for you too.
