This website is operated for Melanie Ruth Media. The main contact person is Melanie Mill. Business contact details are published on the Contact page.

2. Website purpose

The website provides information about professional photography, portrait photography, lifestyle photography, wedding photography, couples photography, family photography, personal branding photography, visual content creation and creative media services.

3. Enquiries are not confirmed bookings

Sending an enquiry through the website, email or phone does not by itself confirm a photography booking. Availability and project details need to be discussed directly.

4. Project-specific arrangements

Specific booking terms, deliverables, pricing, usage arrangements and other project requirements are agreed separately for each project. This website does not publish or invent cancellation, deposit, refund, delivery-time, licensing, copyright-transfer or other booking terms that have not been provided.

Melanie Ruth Media aims to present clear business and service information. Photography services, availability and project details may need to be confirmed directly before you make decisions based on the website.

6. Portfolio presentation

Where licensed stock images are used as placeholders, the website identifies them as visual presentation material and does not represent them as Melanie Ruth Media client work. Stock imagery should be replaced with authorised Melanie Ruth Media portfolio work when such images are supplied for publication.
