Relaxed Wedding Photography in the Scottish Borders
Planning your wedding and looking for a photographer who keeps things easy and stress-free? I’m M Banka Photography, based in Melrose and photographing weddings across the Scottish Borders. My style is natural and relaxed, focusing on real moments, genuine smiles, and all the little things that make your day special.
A Photographer You Can Feel Comfortable With
Most couples tell me they’re a bit nervous about being in front of the camera — and that’s completely normal. My job is to help you feel comfortable, not posed or awkward. I’ll gently guide you when needed, step back when it matters, and let you enjoy your day while I quietly capture it as it happens.
From our first message to your final gallery, I keep things friendly, flexible, and personal — no pressure, no fuss.
What You’ll Get
- Natural, candid photos that feel real and full of emotion
- A relaxed, friendly experience with someone who blends in on the day
- Local knowledge of the Scottish Borders, from beautiful scenery to hidden photo spots
- A timeless collection of images you’ll love looking back on
If you’re after honest, heartfelt wedding photography and a photographer who feels more like a friendly face than a stranger, I’d love to hear about your plans 🤍

Describe your typical process with a couple.
When a couple get in touch with me, we usually have a little chat over e-mail then I love meeting up over a coffee and a cheeky slice of cake! It's fab to actually get to know people better, hear all about how you met, the engagement, what you love, how how your wedding plans!
Then you decide to book with me I send you an invitation for the engagement session, it's great way to get to know each other better and get used to being in front of the camera. Then on the big day when we come to do your couple photos, you'll feel like a pro and we'll smash through them! They will only take 20 minutes out of your day then you're free to drink prosecco and gobble canapés to your hearts content! All while I shimmy around and capture your day as it happens.
What is the No.1 photo that you think every couple should take?
The confetti shot is a must, the more confetti the better!
What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?
While I haven’t had the chance to capture an exceptionally original photo at a wedding yet, I always strive to bring creativity and a fresh perspective to every wedding I photograph. I believe that each wedding is unique in its own way, and I’m committed to finding distinctive moments and angles that beautifully capture the essence of the couple’s love story and their special day. I look forward to future opportunities to create truly original and memorable wedding photos for my clients.
What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?
Just getting on and having a good time. Rain doesn't have to dampen the spirit of a wedding; it can add a touch of romance and create truly memorable moments.
Describe how you got into photography.
Always loved it from early childhood
