Mike Wells Photography

Mike had the task of being the photographer at our weddin. I’m the bride who hates her photo being taken! But he made me feel so at ease from the get go and he went above and beyond to capture every special moment of our elopement wedding. We are over the moon with the photos and so glad we found him! His great knowledge of the Ilfracombe area meant we could change scenery and venture down to the beach. Don’t even think twice about booking Mike for your wedding…you have my word you won’t be disappointed!

We are so pleased we found Mike to photograph our wedding day! He truly is a brilliant photographer and knows exactly what he is doing. We booked Mike for half a day (pre-lockdown), but due to growing restrictions linked to COVID-19 we had to downgrade our wedding package and Mike completely understood and worked with us to create a new package. He is so easy to talk to, has a great sense of humour and what we loved about him was he showed a genuine interest in who we are as a couple and what guests we would have coming to the wedding. The first time we spoke to Mike, we were on the phone for over an hour in the evening and it didn't feel rushed at all. He is so easy going and takes all the stress out of your day! We really don't know how he managed to get half the shots he did and even though it was like he wasn't even there, he took the time to get to know our guests too. He really works hard to get the best shots, he really does. What Mike produced for us made our jaws hit the floor! Our wedding photos are absolutely stunning, they really are. They couldn't go in an album on the shelf - we brought A LOT of photo frames and now have a whole wall in our home filled with our wedding photos. Mike, thank you so much. You are a great photographer and a great person! You have given us something we will cherish forever. You are more talented than you will ever believe! Sarah and Gareth

Michael shot our elopement wedding at Sandy Cove in August 2020. He captured our intimate day perfectly. Such an easy going, friendly guy who made us feel at ease throughout the small amount time he spent with us. He went above and beyond what we had expected. I couldn’t recommend him enough to anyone looking for a photographer in the North Devon area.

From meeting Mike at a wedding fair, to him capturing our wedding and everything in between, we couldn't have asked for a better photographer. Mike's photos are beautiful, he is a lovely man and genuinely puts you at ease being in front of the camera. During our pre-wedding photoshoot Mike learnt what we did and didn't like, knew the angles to avoid (double chins!!) and gave us some great pointers for the big day. On the day Mike blended in with our guests as we were totally unaware that he was there. He captured our day perfectly, from the traditional 'mantle piece' shots to the daft faces you pull with your mates. Just book him.......you will not be disappointed.

This guy is insanely talented. He made my partner and I feel totally at ease in front of the camera (even when I had a bridezilla moment) His creativity is truly beautiful and I couldn’t recommend him highly enough....thankyou Mike!

Can’t thank Mike enough for the amazing pictures he took at our wedding! Really captured the day and how much fun everyone had! Everyone loved him and he did a fantastic job even with rain and very strong winds! He didn’t have the easiest job! The pictures are beautiful and we will always be able to look back and our amazing day that he captured so well! He also sent us some beautiful little gifts with our memory stick :) if you are thinking about booking him. Do it!

We could not be happier with our wedding photos- mike was so nice and accommodating from our first meeting. The photos are everything we wanted and mike fitted in to the day perfectly - everything ran smoothly and he organised everyone like a pro. A friend of ours was so impressed she has now booked him for her wedding. Best photographer.

We just couldn't be happier with how Michael's photos of our wedding turned out. His photography really captured the emotion of the day and he has a great eye to pick unique moments and shots. He really took the time to get to know us and understand what we wanted from the day so his photos reflected our individual personality. The way that Michael fit into the wedding party was so seamless and helped the day go by so effortlessly, his level of professionalism can't be understated and it was a genuine pleasure to have him there on the day! The hard work that Michael put in right through the process really shows in the final product; by taking the time to understand what we wanted, to planning when and where we could have photos during the day and the countless hours that were taken to edit and select the vast number of photos all added up to a treasured set of memories which we will forever be able to look back on and cherish. We wouldn't hesitate recommending Michael as a photographer for your wedding or other event.

Where to start?! From the first phone call a year before I just clicked straight away with Mike! Throughout the planning he’d drop little emails and on the day he was superb! Sorted out the groom etc who didn’t have a clue where a buttonhole went, kept me calm at the prep stage and then worked his socks off for the rest of the day! All of my guests commented on how brilliant he was..even with some of the ‘over excited ‘ guests! His suggestion to take us to the beach for photos was lovely and actually gave us some alone time in an all together hectic but wonderful day! Simply cannot wait to see Mikes magic on the photos..if the tasters are anything to go by. Cannot recommend Mike highly enough..he clearly loves what he does as this is shown by his passion and results- thank you Mike for contributing to our perfect day!

I never realised how nervous I was going to to be, from the very start getting the button holes right , all though the ceremony and after in the gardens I've never known a person to make everyone so comfortable and relaxed, our day was made so special by micheal .
