Do you travel?

Just tell me where! I'm a seasoned traveller and am always up for an adventure. I've done weddings and events throughout Victoria and Australia including Broome WA, Byron Bay NSW, Palm Cove Queensland, and weddings internationally in New Zealand and Cook Islands.
What equipment do you use?

I'm a Nikon gal, and have 2-3 pro camera bodies on me at any one time, and shoot with a variety of Nikon lenses depending on the lighting and situation.
Do you have public liability insurance?

Absolutely. I can provide all details to any venue requiring this.
How long have you been a photographer?

I was taught on film cameras way back in the late 1990's and went digital early 2000's. I still love the old vintage vibe feels of film and this comes through in my editing processes now. I've been shooting weddings and events for over 2 decades!
Do you use a second shooter?

Some of my packages include a second shooter, and some times I will bring an assistant or second shooter if I have a large load of weddings to shoot in that particular week.
Can you shoot a wedding solo?

Most definitely and 90% of the time I do. If you feel you would like extra photographers that can be arranged.
Do you outsource your editing?

I'm a control freak, and love the way I present my imagery. I do all my own editing.
Can you provide albums and fine art prints

Yes, I design the albums, and finalise them in conjunction with you. All my products are made in Australia. My albums are archivable and museum grade quality products.
We love your work, how do we go about booking you?

Please send me an email at mel@melpanteli.com.au, or via the contact form on this website with all the details about your upcoming wedding/elopement/event. I’d love to hear all about it. I would require booking fee of 25% of your chosen package to secure your date. If you have any questions around this, please feel free to reach out.
