‘Melanie has covered important events for the School of Management at Royal Holloway, University of London, over the last few months. She has been a pleasure to work with – accommodating requests, non intrusive and most importantly, has provided us with great photographs capturing the essence of these events. We are already in discussion about our next booking !’ Lesley Brown

‘I found Melanie through a Google web search of photographers local to Reading in Berkshire and decided to choose her (instead of the many others who emailed back) because she responded very promptly and was prepared to be completely adaptable to our needs for our medical dinner, where around 60 guests were to be photographed. She was also very kind about negotiating her fees and even contributed to the Medical charity we were raising funds for. When the actual evening arrived, a sudden change in the weather meant that a totally different approach was required, but if this worried Melanie she didn’t let us know at all, but just adapted to the new situation with cheerful professionalism. All our guests at the Dinner commented on how nice the photographer was and we have had many positive comments about the photographs themselves. will not need to Google for a photographer again!’ Jane Frances Patel

‘We couldn’t have chosen a better…‎‎We looked at a few photographers before choosing’ One Life Studio previously ‘Mun Lai Photography for our wedding day but Melanie was, by far, the most friendly and at the same time very professional.

I would recommend Melanie to anyone that needs a photographer )!’ Andrea-Elizabeth – 5 Aug 2010
