I cannot tell you how thrilled I was when the super talented Melody Joy agreed to join us for our recent Thrive conference, Her work is packed full of effortless style and this girl has extreme business smarts. She relocated to Edinburgh from Chicago when she met and married a Scottish boy and quickly established her wedding photography business in a competitive market. At Thrive she worked hard to encourage our attendees to find their own style, wherever they are and to connect on a deeper level with their couples. Melody has formed many friendships with the couples that she has worked with and it is easy to see why.

For Melody, Wedding Photography should be about finding your own kind of music: discovering your style from the beauty of the ‘everyday’. We think these images perfectly display this ethos.

“I gain inspiration through the simple things I experience in everyday life” Melody Joy

Day 2 shoot sessions at our bi-annual conference for wedding photographers, Thrive, are an opportunity for you to not only add real-couple content to your portfolio but to learn from your chosen mentor and see exactly how they shoot.

“I gain inspiration through the simple things I experience in everyday life, the lines on the street, the details in architecture, the fog coming in over a hill or simply the rippling of coffee as it’s poured.” Melody told us.

The way a photographer approaches their work impacts the photos they take. If you are relaxed enough to tune into your surroundings, you will take more inspired photographs. 


“She conducted her shoot in such a serene way, that I instantly felt so calm around her, which I feel translated in the way I took the photos and felt so relaxed” said one of our London Thrive attendees.
