    Originally from Natal where my passion of photography started in the fashion industry from the year 1998. I have been specializing in wedding photography for many years. I believe that your wedding pictures are one of the most tangible reminders of your special day. It is important to book your photographer well in advance to ensure that your special day is captured forever. Consider pictures for your memories in sepia or black and white as well as in colour, and do ask your photographer to include editing in the package deal.I believe that my photographic style is photo journalistic and creative, and captures in real time the events of the day as they unfold. I mix classic and contemporary, posed and action shots. I use top of the range, state of the art digital equipment and can enhance and edit your pictures with all the latest software technology.My love of people, their world, and traveling has moved me into the arena of International photography where i interact regularly with International photographers in forums where all the best and latest creative artwork is shared.Wedding packages are specially designed to suit your individual needs, as well as your budget. Probably the most important item is your storybook which is compiled with great care in a consultation with you. Videography and MAC make-up can also be included as part of one of the packages. please view my blog at www.melinda2jayne.co.za
