TESTIMONIALS! Wollongong & Illawarra portrait photographer

I get so many kind comments from my clients I decided to add a testimonial page here for the everyone to see!  Each week I will add a few at a time so be sure to check back regularly for updates.

Here are a few kind words from a few clients.



“We chose Melanie to take our photos for two reasons. She had taken our boys
pre-school photos AND friends of ours had photos taken that we absolutely
loved.
The results of our photo shoot are fabulous. We wanted photos that were
relaxed and beautiful – and we got exactly what we wanted. The photo shoot
didn’t take hours, which was great when 2 young boys are not at all
interested in having their photos taken !! Melanie is professional and easy
going and makes it all look very easy – even in the rain !! Thanks again
Melanie for your generosity and support of our wonderful pre-school”.

Jenny Spillane



“Melanie did such a fantastic job on your little girls photos, they look so gorgeous! She made us feel so comfortable and welcomed, We definitely recommend her to anyone with newborn babies”.

Jake & Lee-Anne Griffin

Wedding ~ Pat & Melissa 2/1/10 ( Wollongong wedding photographer)

My first wedding of the year nearly started out as a rainy one. Pat and Melissa are friends of my husband and I, so I was at invited to there wedding to which was different as I’m not usually a photographer/guest at a wedding.

Pat & Melissa had there beautiful ceremony at the lagoon seafood restaurant in Wollongong. We had the ceremony inside as it rained a fair bit on the day, but the rain stopped by the time the ceremony started so we got to go out side for photos on the grounds of the lagoon seafood restaurant.

Pat and Melissa I hope you like your photos I will be in touch soon!

Wedding ~ Tim & Betsy 23/12/09 {Wollongong wedding photograher}

I first made contact with Tim and Betsy miles and miles away across the sea a few months ago. They ask me to photograph their wedding for them, but with a little twist!  Tims parents live in Gerrigong and Betsy was from the states were they both live now. They had told me it was going to be a surprise wedding, I thought wow how fun…. they kept the wedding a surprise from Tims family until the day before.

Tim and Betsy’s wedding was simple, no fuss but very beautiful and they shared it with the people they love. Which I think is most important.

The day was absolutely beautiful and the location was to die for. They had the ceremony on Tims parents property at Gerrigong.

Right out on the point is were the ceremony was!

Kristel & Matt Wedding 12~12~09 – Wollongong Wedding Photographer

My two friends who I have got to know more over the last few months got married on the weekend and they choose me to capture there day for them and what a pleasure it was!

Kristel and Matt have been together since Kristel was in high school you can see there love for each other just by the way they look at each other.

The day was just beautiful you couldn’t of ask for a better day. Matt and Kristel put so much detail in to this wedding from the little storeys when you walk into the ceremony area to the initials on the brides maids parasols they even had a parasols that had just married written on them.  The Ceremony was at the Mt Keira scout camp which was just beautiful and my first time there, then we headed off to Wollongong for some photos by the Graffiti wall then down to North beach for some more photos. We finished up at the beautiful Mt Keira look out for the reception.

Kristel and Matt I hope you are enjoying your honeymoon in Fiji.

Here is your sneek peek which I know you will have been waiting to see.
