Crewe-based wedding photographer Dan Melville specialises in relaxed, candid wedding photography that captures genuine moments and personalities. Serves Cheshire and the wider UK; videography available.
Hi, I’m Dan — a Crewe-based wedding photographer focused on telling your day as it truly unfolds. Since 2016 I’ve refined a relaxed, fun approach that favours authentic, candid moments over staged poses. I specialise in wedding photography, working across Cheshire, Crewe and throughout the UK to capture the real laughter, nerves and joy that make each wedding unique. Why choose me? My work centres on storytelling. I aim to be unobtrusive: present where the emotion happens but careful not to interrupt the flow of your day. Couples choose me because I blend anticipation with discretion — I know how to spot those small, extraordinary moments and record them with a natural, consistent style that looks beautiful for years to come. My approach is simple and people-first. There are no forced poses — just gentle guidance when needed and a relaxed atmosphere that helps even camera-shy guests feel at ease. I take time before your wedding to learn what matters to you: we’ll talk through the day, complete a questionnaire to build a timeline, and I’m happy to do a pre-wedding/engagement shoot so you can get comfortable in front of the camera ahead of the big day. On the day I focus on covering the story from preparation to first dance, keeping things flexible and responsive to what’s happening. If you’d like broader coverage, I can add a second photographer to capture alternative perspectives and extra candid moments. Albums and hand-finished keepsakes are available if you want your photos preserved in print. Videography is offered as a secondary service to complement my photography. If you want moving images of your day I provide highlight films and full ceremony or speeches edits — handled with the same relaxed, storytelling mindset. Videography is positioned as an add-on, so the core focus of my work remains wedding photography. Whether your day is intimate or a full celebration, I bring calm, energy and a clear editorial eye to make sure your story is preserved honestly and beautifully. Based in Crewe, I’m available across Cheshire and the UK — let’s chat about your plans and how we can craft a collection of images that feel like you.
