Mel Panteli Photography

Experienced, professional and friendly. Really knows how to adjust to the environment and circumstances. Refreshing to use a service you can 100% trust, this woman is incredible and knows what she's doing! Even provided 30+ images on the night of our wedding to get us by until we receive the rest. Thank you for making our day so special.

Mel photographed our suprise engagement, she made the day so special, captured some beautiful moments, and helped calm my fiance's nerves which was invaluable, thanks Mel!

I was lucky enough to have Mel capture my baby shower and what a beautiful seamless experience it was. Not only is she just a gorgeous soul - her knowledge and experience behind the camera really shows through the photos that we have received back from her and I will be forever grateful. Thank you Mel!

Mel helped me capture one of the most significant moments of my life which was a proposal to my partner and the photos turned out amazing, thank you so much Mel we appreciate it a lot:)

Mel is very easy to talk to, quick to respond to any questions, very willing to help out as much as possible, has very clear communication and even great recommendations if you're having trouble or concerns with anything.

Mel helped my best mate with her proposal and she was wonderful. She was extremely knowledgeable and reassuring, I feel like if I ever get married or have a significant event that requires a photographer I would choose her. Great experience

We are so lucky to have had Mel as our wedding photographer. We just received our images and they are amazing. She made our day so much more at ease and fun, and I really felt that through the whole process Mel only had our best interests at heart. Mel honestly just wants you to have the best day while capturing those moments for you.
Thankyou so much Mel you really went above and beyond for us.

We couldn’t of picked a better wedding photographer! Mel made my partner and I feel comfortable from the first time meeting. We loved every single photo and every single moment with her. Can’t thank her enough for the beautiful photos and the fast delivery even with a sneak peek on that very night! Thanks Mel xx - kirsten townsend

Absolutely amazing! And an absolute star in her art. Can not recommend Mel enough she is truly passionate about what she does, and it reflects so highly in her work. Thank you so much Mel!

Mel was just an absolute dream to work with and she is so talented at what she does! We couldn’t have picked a better wedding photographer! Mel made my partner and I feel so comfortable from the moment we met. She listened to our wedding vision and gave us some new suggestions. Our wedding day was so much fun working with Mel; she made us laugh and feel so special when capturing our wedding moments. Today we received our wedding album and I was just blown away by the stunning photography by Mel! I highly recommend choosing Mel Panteli Photography if you are getting married or have a special event.

We can not thank you enough Mel for being such a big part in our wedding and taking the most magical photos. We love you!

We chose Mel because of her excellent reviews and we can gladly say we agree with them all. Mel was super fun and easy to work with, made our family feel at ease with being photographed (even our fur baby Tala!) and has provided us with some beautiful, high quality images that we will cherish for a lifetime. Thank you Mel for making this a truly enjoyable experience. Highly recommend!

We chose Mel for our Macedon wedding in April, with only 3-4 weeks notice she was incredible. Prompt, professional and treated us like family. We love our photos, and mostly we love the ease of working with her. Nothing has been too much to ask of her.
The photos are glamorous and speak for themselves, but what you don’t see is the amazingly kind and talented photographer that was so easy to work with. We threw her in the deep end with a short notice, surprise wedding with minimal times for shooting, and she absolutely nailed it.
We Look forward to booking you for some family photos soon.

We happily recommend this gifted and lovely woman to those considering a photographer for their special day.

We had Mel booked as our wedding photographer, and after multiple attempts of rescheduling our wedding during Covid, we decided to cancel it all together. Mel was so accommodating and offered other package ideas for us to utilise so we did not lose out on our deposit like we did with our other suppliers.
We ended up getting a family shoot done with our 8 month old and she was absolutely fabulous!
She is the kindest person and has such a gift with capturing the moment through the lense. We could not recommend her enough!
she was so accommodating and flexible with us, even having to stop for bottle and bum changes.
Mel you rock!
We will most definitely be using you for all our future shoots, we couldn’t be happier with your service and quality of work.

Thanks again!

Mel is such a beautiful and talented lady. Her amazing personality made it such a wonderful and fun experience for our family photos. There were so many gorgeous photos to choose from - it’s hard to choose a favourite. Every interaction Mel went above and beyond. Mel truly is a gem and has captured special moments that will be treasured for our lifetime. I highly recommend and cant thank her enough.

You’re an absolute rockstar Mel. Thanks a million for creating our magical shots. Forever grateful! Until next time! X Lisa

Mel Mel Mel! I consider myself and my partner so lucky that we had Mel capture our wedding photos. She is professional, down to earth yet so lovely as a person. She is super talented and so passionate about her work. Loved every moment and every photo.thank you so much for taking care of us and make us feel like royals hahah.if you want to feel the love wrapping you in every step of the photo session you have to go with her.tha k you again for all the hard work and fast delivery with very high end results.

We had a family picnic and wedding do-over at Hanging Rock. We considered not getting a photographer and just having guests take photos. It may go down as the greatest decision of my life to hire Mel (yes, over marrying my wife again haha) her photos are INSANELY GOOD. Out of the 400+ we got back from her, every single one we could easily frame. EVERY SINGLE ONE. Never had more compliments on photos I've shared with friends.ever. DO NOT HESITATE, book her before it's too late.

Mel is an amazing photographer who captured our little family so beautifully. She is unbelievably talented at using the light to get incredible shots, and she was fantastic with encouraging our little daughter to be her smiley, playful self. We are thrilled with how the photos have come out and would recommend Mel to anyone for gorgeous family photos.

Mel is simply amazing. We feel so lucky to have found her as our wedding photographer and cannot recommend her more highly. Mel was just wonderful to deal with from the start, with great communication and frequent check-ins. We met for the first time on the day, and she immediately put us at ease with her warmth and professionalism. Her dedication to taking the best photos must be unrivalled, as we went to all corners of our beautiful venue and even climbed through a fence to get the perfect sunset shot! It was so much fun and so worth it. We received some photos before we made it home for the night, and a sneak peak gallery only an hour later. Mel, we can’t thank you enough for everything and for helping to make our day so special. Your hard work is so appreciated and we are so in love with all of your photos. Thank you also to Margaret who assisted on the day! Love, Ness & Niel.

Mel is absolutely amazing, highly recommend for any special occasion. We used Mel for our wedding at Trawool Estate and weather made some things difficult however Mel made the most of it! Our images are incredible and something we will be able to cherish for a lifetime. Communication, always thorough, we were well briefed and it was really important we felt comfortable… simply Mel is amazing at what she does!

Mel is a fantastic photographer and a delight to deal with!
Our wedding images came out beautiful. Stunning quality.
She will take her time and go the extra mile to ensure she captures all of your requested shots.she made everything stress free and seamless on our day and is such a delight to deal with.
A+ service and would 100% recommend Mel to family and friends.

Our first meeting I felt a connection with Mel and I am so glad that we went with her. She captured so many beautiful moments throughout the day for us that it made it hard to choose our print and album pictures. It was really important that I got epic sunset photos, and boy did she make the light work for us.

On the night of the wedding, before the reception was even over, Mel delivered a snap shot of beautiful images that we could share to our socials as the new Mr and Mrs.

We absolutely cherish our fine art album, and love showing it off our wedding photos to all our family and friends.

Mel was very easy to work with, accommodating and professional. If you're looking for an amazing photographer to capture your day, Mel is your girl.
