    BOOK NOW - Fantastic Photographer

    Fiander Foto was responsive, easy to work with, accomodating, and delivered beautiful images. She's captured our engagement photos, which were amazing! We can't wait for her to photograph our wedding this fall.

    Bermuda Birthday Getaway!

    In January 2024, I decided to take my wife to Bermuda; her first experience there! I surprised her with a photo shoot with Melanie as a birthday gift.
    With the weather being a bit sketchy during the winter, Melanie was most gracious in working with the conditions and found an afternoon that was sunny and fit into both our schedules.
    Our experience with her was absolutely stunning. It was almost as if we had been friends for years and were finally getting back together!
    We highly recommend her services! Great value, great personality, great pics!

    Fiander Foto's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words, Brian! I had a wonderful time working with you two; we captured some great birthday / stylized-wedding photos. Our photo shoot is certainly one I will remember fondly. I look forward to you two coming back to Bermuda! :)

    Wonderful experience with Melanie!

    Melanie is a wonderful photographer to work with! Not only is she extremely talented at what she does but she is so kind and goes above and beyond for her clients. She captured such a special and meaningful moment in our lives and we cannot thank her enough for that! Our Bermuda proposal was something we will cherish forever!

    Amazing destination photographer

    Melanie has been amazing from start to finish for our family vacation session. We traveled to Bermuda for my parents 40th wedding anniversary and I contacted Melanie for a family session. Planning the session and helping with directions and transportation on the island, Melanie guided us through all the details, and her knowledge and suggestions on location options were fantastic. As soon as we met Melanie I was so excited for our session. We had so much fun, she kept us all laughing and comfortable in front of the camera. I was so happy when I received the gallery, and how quickly we she got them back to us! The photos are amazing and I am grateful that Melanie captured these memories for my family.
    If you travel to Bermuda for vacation, please make time to schedule a session with Melanie! we can't thank her enough!

    Fiander Foto's reply:

    Hello Stephanie! Thank you SO MUCH for your kind words and 5-star Review. You and your family were so fun to work with! I'm glad to hear that you and the crew not only enjoyed the photos but also the overall experience of working with me. Please be sure to look me up next time you guys are in town! Cheers!

    A creative mind for beautiful compositions!

    Mel looks at something that is ordinary and makes it extraordinary! She was able to peak through leaves to give a unique boarder around us; she is patient & flexible even got down on the ground to capture the best angle and lighting; she connected & communicated the entire process to make us feel at ease from scheduling of our photoshoot date, up to the actual day of photos &
    even continuing her great work all the days following - ensuring all questions were answered & we felt her passion for what she does as it was very apparent in the photos that we received! We love her and her photography skills! A truly enjoyable experience with an amazing outcome, what else could you wish for!

    Fiander Foto's reply:

    Hello Donleigh, Thank you so much for your kind words and amazing review! I had such a great time working with you two and am glad to hear that my passion for wedding photography "shown through". I'm also glad to hear that you two felt our communication was strong. I'm a firm believer in strong and swift communication - particularly when planning and photographing a wedding! Thank you again for the 5-star review and many congrats to the two of you!

    Bermuda mini shoot

    From
    Start to finish - Melanie was exceptional to work with! I was surprised with the most beautiful proposal followed by a mini shoot! Melanie also surprised is with a bottle of champagne in what I thought was her camera bag! We had the most perfect pictures at grape bay - jewel of a beach!

    Fiander Foto's reply:

    Hello Shital,

    Wow! Thank you so much for your kind words and amazing review. It's always great to receive positive feedback from my clients. I have to say -- your proposal and engagement photo session was AWESOME! From a photographer's viewpoint, it was an absolute dream to capture. Thank you both for being such amazing clients. Please feel free to reach out for details regarding wedding photography and many congrats again on your engagement! :)

    Great wedding experience

    Melanie Fiander was an absolute joy to have at our wedding. She was easy to work with throughout the planning process and helped ensure the big day went smoothly. We both loved having her at the wedding and would definitely recommend her to friends. The photos turned out beautiful.

    Fiander Foto's reply:

    Hello Tyler, many thanks for your kind words and amazing review. I'm so happy to hear that you and Cindy enjoyed working with me; the feeling was certainly mutual - you two were "ROCK STAR" clients! The wedding was very beautiful and you two were so natural in front of the camera. Thank you again for having me capture your wedding and be a part of your big day! Cheers - Melanie

    Amazing person and photographer

    Amazing photographer and person! Melanie was truly fantastic throughout our entire wedding planning process. We were planning our Bermuda wedding from the UK and Melanie was always helping answer all of our questions. She helped me find a videographer, makeup artist, hair stylist, biodegradable confetti (the list goes on)! On the actual wedding day she was so friendly and captured the day is such an incredible way. I highly highly recommend Melanie for any event! You will not be disappointed.

    Fiander Foto's reply:

    Hello Claire, WOW - thank you so much for your kind words. The feeling is mutual! It was SUCH a pleasure working with you two; from the planning stage all the way through the editing stage - you and Matt were top-notch clients! Next time you're in Bermuda - be sure to look me up and we'll snag a coffee! :) Cheers, Melanie

    Best Photographer in Bermuda!

    Melanie took the most beautiful pictures on our honeymoon in Bermuda! From start to finish she was absolutely wonderful to work with. When I first reached out she patiently answered all my questions even going as far as to make a video to help me understand the process a little better. When we finally met up to take the photos, she made my husband and I both feel so comfortable. She had innovative ideas for taking great shots, and we couldn't be happier with the results! I would highly recommend working with her and I hope to go back to Bermuda to have her take photos of us again!

    Fiander Foto's reply:

    Hello Christina!

    THANK YOU so much for your kind review! I'm very glad to hear that you not only love your photos but also enjoyed the overall booking process. I'm also excited to hear that you two felt comfortable in front of the camera; making my clients feel natural in front of my lens is one of my primary goals. You two were super fun to work with! Please feel free to reach out on your next trip down to Bermuda; it'd be great to see you two again! Cheers, Melanie

    Amazing photographer capturing memories for a lifetime

    Amazing photographer capturing memories for a lifetime Is how I would describe Melanie. She took part in our 20 year renewal ceremony and she accommodated every request we had and did it in the extreme heat and made us all look as if it was just a cool summer night. She captured the beauty of our marriage and every time I look at them I smile and that moment comes back in time that she beautifully Captured by film for us to enjoy for a lifetime.

    Fiander Foto's reply:

    Hello Christy, Thank you so much for your kind words and amazing review! I really enjoyed meeting and working with you both and your relatives. Thank you for allowing me to capture such a special time in your lives; it was truly an honour! Big hugs to you both and the kids! Cheers, Melanie

    Best decision we made

    We hired Melanie to photograph our Rehearsal Dinner & Wedding. Hands down - it was the best decision we made for our wedding. Not only were the photographs amazing, but she was also very professional and quick to respond to our emails. The best part was how easy it was to be in front of her camera; she made us feel very relaxed! Look no further - book Melanie / Fiander Foto for your wedding; you won't regret it!

    Fiander Foto's reply:

    Hello Becca - WOW! Many thanks for your kind words!! I had a wonderful time working with you and Mark; thanks so much for booking.

    Great Photographer

    Melianie did a great job capturing exactly what we wanted for our photo shoot. She was quick to capitalize on any great photo ops and was able to adapt to the change in light/certain requests for photos. She was extremely patient with us and we love the outcome of our photo shoot with Melanie.

    Best Wedding Photographer EVER

    We hired Melanie to capture our wedding this past October. She was wonderful throughout the whole experience. She responded quickly to my emails, helped us plan out the whole day regarding photography, and her images truly captured one of the most special moments of our lives. We'd recommend Melanie to photograph your wedding!

    Fiander Foto's reply:

    Hello Janis, Thank you so much for your kind words and review! I had such a wonderful time working with you and Mike this past October. You two were adorable and it was my pleasure to capture your big day! Please be sure to look me up next you're in Bermuda. All the best, Melanie (and Jim!)

    Best Vendor I Worked With During My Entire Wedding

    Trying to plan a destination wedding from outside of the country can be quite a daunting task, one that had its fair share of sweat and tears. Melanie was a breath of fresh air during this entire process! Not only was she the most responsive vendor I had throughout my Bermuda-based wedding, she was extremely organized, helpful and professional. My husband and I felt completely comfortable with her during the whole process and she even took a couple of extra photos for us when we accidentally got locked out of the beach exit haha.

    Despite the clouds and early rain that we experienced on wedding day, Melanie was able to work her magic and take some absolutely beautiful shots at Cooper's Island and the surrounding area...she even managed to capture our little miniature pinscher "son," Moose, in action.

    If you're looking for a photographer that will give you 110%, then look no further than Melanie (Fiander Foto). She's awesome!

    Fiander Foto's reply:

    WOW! Thank you for an amazing review! I'm so happy to hear that you and Chris enjoyed working with me from "start to finish". I certainly strive to give 110% to my clients throughout the planning process and on the day of, to capture the intimate moments that will be looked at for generations to come. You two were wonderful to work with (and little Moose!); thanks for being such an awesome couple!

    A wonderful experience with a great final product

    We had our newborn photos taken with Fiander Foto and are extremely pleased with the overall experience. Melanie is very professional and personable; she made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and was easy to work with. As a result, the photos were natural and beautifully captured the joy we have as a new family. I would highly recommend Fiander Foto.

    Above and beyond

    Melanie is absolutely amazing!! Unlike most weddings, we arrived to Bermuda by cruise. Everyone needed to take a bus to our ceremony and Melanie offered to ride it with us. She had her husband drop her off and didn’t charge me anything additional for this. She went above and beyond to make sure we got in as many possible photos as we could. She also gave me suggestions on when to have our bride and groom session to make sure we got the best light. She is extremely passionate about her job and it shows! I would highly recommend her to anyone! She also does a fabulous job editing her work.

    Fiander Foto's reply:

    WOW! Thank you so much for your kind words Alyssa and amazing review! I'm so happy to hear that you and James enjoyed working with me and were happy with the final images. I had an absolute blast capturing your wedding and that bus ride was SO FUN! It'd be great to connect with you two on your next trip down to "de island"! Thank you again for your written review!

    Beautiful family shoot

    When my husband’s uncle and his family visited Bermuda this past summer we wanted to be sure to capture our growing clan. Mel was the perfect choice. There were 17 of us in five separate family groupings that all were to be included. Mel handled the demands (large number of participants in a short time frame) so professionally and with grace and humour. We all thoughouly enjoyed our evening together - it felt natural and fun. All of this was reflected in the photos which were beautiful and ones we will treasure for years to come.

    Fiander Foto's reply:

    Hello Catherine, Thank you so much for your kind words and rave review! It was an absolute pleasure to work with you and your family again. As a photographer, it's extra special to have the opportunity to work with "repeat clients" such as yourself. I had a blast photographing your wedding a few years ago and it was just as much fun capturing your growing family. Thank you again!

    Talented photographer who captured our wedding beautifully!

    We hired Melanie of Fiander Foto to photograph our destination wedding in Bermuda and what an amazing experience it was! She was truly a professional and captured our day so beautifully. The photographs were absolutely stunning and we are very happy with them. She is also very sweet, kind and very easy to work with. Highly, highly recommended! Thank you Melanie! :-)

    I was referred to Melanie to shoot our wedding this upcoming June 2018. When my fiancé and I came to Bermuda to plan, we decided to do an engagement shoot. As soon as I met Melanie, I knew things were going to be great! She has such a sweet and calming presence to her. It was our first time taking professional photos and she made us feel comfortable and of course it was a blast! When we received our photos, they were beautifully shot, great light and tons of personality shed through. I am so happy to have met Melanie and cannot wait for her to shoot our wedding next year!
