Unscripted. Unposed. Unforgettable.

Timeless photography filled with love, laughter, and real emotion — captured in my cosy Melrose studio and across Hawick, Galashiels, Selkirk, and the Scottish Borders.

- your trusted Scottish Borders Portrait and Wedding photographer.

Every photograph should tell a story — your story. It’s about the joy, love, laughter and connection that make life beautiful. Whether it’s the emotion of a wedding, the quiet wonder of a newborn, or the warmth of a family moment, each image should feel alive and meaningful.

At M Banka Photography, I create natural, timeless photographs filled with heart. Based in Melrose and working across the Scottish Borders, I specialise in wedding photography, engagement sessions, family portraits, and newborn photography.

My goal is simple: to capture honest emotion and preserve your memories in a way that feels effortless, genuine, and full of love.

Life moves fast. The laughter of your children, the excitement before your wedding, the soft cuddles with your baby — these moments don’t last forever, but they can be remembered beautifully. My approach focuses on storytelling and connection. No forced poses, no awkward smiles — just real life, documented with care.

Every image reflects who you are, where you are, and what matters most to you. Whether it’s in the countryside near Hawick, the cobbled streets of Melrose, or a quiet woodland near Selkirk, each setting becomes part of your story.
