About Us

Hello!

We are Krissy & Danny, the faces behind Mellows Photography.

We bonded over photography when we first met and it has been our passion for over a decade now! Over the years we've captured hundreds of weddings together, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have this job. We truly love what we do, and the fact that we get to meet amazing people from diverse backgrounds in beautiful locations, documenting their love stories, still amazes us; it genuinely feels like a privilege to be part of such a special and intimate day and we get super excited for each and every one of our couples' weddings.

Our own love story began in 2011 and we finally married in May 2022 on Scotland's West Coast, having a humanist ceremony right on the beach with our nearest and dearest surrounding us.

To give you a peek into our lives, our ideal day would involve heading out to a picturesque spot with our golden retriever pup, Dusk. We’d hike or swim whilst snapping away with our cameras and finish the day off with a scrumptious home-cooked dinner, possibly using vegetables from our garden, followed by watching a good film; we really appreciate and value the little joys in life!

A few facts about us

 

We love to travel and visit new places; we spent 2 & 1/2 years travelling and living in Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, New Zealand, Australia, Bali & India.

 

We toured the whole of Vietnam on a motorbike. Starting in Ho Chi Minh, going through the mountains and along the coast to Hanoi.

 

We love being outside, walking, swimming or cycling - nature is our happy place.

 

We have been together since Krissy was 19 and Danny 21.

We are ocean lovers and had our own sailboat for a time, which we proudly restored!

 

Krissy loves recreating favourite dishes discovered along the way while visiting other countries.

 

Danny is an artist, he paints oil on canvas, taking inspiration off his late Grandad who mainly studied landscapes.

 

We adore dogs! We love all life, but dogs have a special place in our hearts even more so since having our golden retriever pup, Dusk join our little family.

 

We recently bought a derelict cottage on the West Coast of Ireland which we’ll slowly be renovating.

 

We completed an entire circuit of Australia, living in a van. It took the best part of a year to do.

 

We are huge nerds for films and tv shows. Some stand out ones are Game of Thrones, Rick & Morty, Interstellar, LOTR and anything David Attenborough or Brian Cox.

 

We converted a VW Crafter van which we spent 2021-2022 travelling around in.

We love music of all kinds (Danny plays piano & guitar but dabbles in other instruments!)

 

Krissy reads books like they're out of fashion and mainly loves the fantasy fiction genre! Robin Hobb is an absolute fave.

 

We love animals! Especially elephants and dolphins (both of which we've been very lucky to have close encounters with)!

 

A dream of ours is to eventually sail across the Atlantic Ocean to the Caribbean at some point in our lifetime.

“I had the opportunity to live and study photography in Cornwall, where I explored the art of film while blending my love for the sea and nature. Photography has always fascinated me and I truly appreciate it as an art form. I recall spending time as a child flipping through numerous albums filled with my grandparents' travel photos, dreaming of embarking on similar adventures and capturing images like theirs in incredible locations. It feels surreal to have turned that dream into reality and I am immensely grateful to my Grandad for encouraging my creativity by letting me experiment with his 90s film cameras.”

“My background is in music which took me to university but photography has always been a part of my life; it’s been an ever evolving passion of mine for as long as I can remember. When I first met Krissy we bonded over our love for photography and ever since then we've been taking photos together.

My grandad was an amazing artist and I'd always found it mind blowing as to how he could create beautiful oil paintings with such depth and perspective; I think this is where my eye for getting good shots originated.”
