I'm Mel, I am the face behind Ardour Photography.
I'm a family photographer based in Bristol who specialises in Motherhood Photography. Why Ardour? Well, Ardour actually means to have great passion or enthusiasm about something or someone. When I was thinking about what to name my business, I wanted it to have true weight. The word Ardour was perfect! Not only does it represent the passion I have for photography, but also the love you have for your family.
To me images are not just an expense they are a true investment. They are something you can treasure forever allowing you to tell your life story. I believe that an image is a gateway that takes you back to all those warm and magical feelings of a moment in time that would otherwise fade if not captured.
I am so passionate about what I do and I am truly grateful for you allowing me to do what I love. Now let's start capturing your story!
Fact 1 - I am a mummy to my baby boy Artie. He was born in 2022. It is the greatest and most challenging journey juggling motherhood and my own business but wow, it brings the greatest rewards
Fact 2 - I love morning walks with my family, ideally with coffee in hand, and stopping after and treating myself to an almond croissant. Mokoko do the best ones!
Fact 3 - | have the biggest sweet tooth! Chocolate is the way to my heart!
