Photos by Michael Full Description
Photographs are the best way to revisit a moment in time, a freeze frame of lifes most cherished memories. Therefore I take great pride in making sure to capture everything that matters from your wedding day, to give you a stunning timeline of the days events so you can revisit all the special moments of your big day. Maintaining a natural and discreet approach to ensure I have the smallest impact possible on your day is my key aim. Of course you may want those lovely posed shots with your family and loved ones, or I may need to give a little direction here and there. But mostly, you won't know I am there! With my full day package you will have me from bridal prep all the way through to just after the first dance. You will receive a complementary engagement shoot so you can get used to the camera and we can discuss your day and go over your plans and what you want from your photos. I also offer a short day package where you will receive coverage from bride prep through to the speeches, the engagement shoot is also included with this. All photos will be delivered to you digitally via a bespoke online gallery, and I aim to have your photos ready 4 weeks after the big day. Please do get in touch if you would like to enquire more about my photography services and if you think I might be the right guy to capture your day. *MAKE SURE TO CHECK YOUR JUNK FOLDER FOR ANY EMAILS AFTER YOU ENQUIRE* I can't wait to hear from you!

We both shed a little tear as we looked through them.

Michael was absolutely amazing. The photos we received back of our special day (after only a couple of weeks!) were beautiful, natural and really captured the vibe of the day. We both shed a little tear as we looked through them as it bought the day to life again. I will reccommend Michael to anyone who ever needs a photographer! Thanks from Em and Matt

Nothing short of amazing

We hired Michael for our English wedding reception (we got married in Canada) and he was nothing short of amazing. After showing him our wedding pictures and talking to him beforehand, he took the time to understand our vision and preferences. Even though Michael was invited as a guest, his camera did not leave his side which showed how passionate he is about his craft. He managed to capture both the big and little moments that we would have not thought of and I cant recommend him enough for your special event. If you are looking for a fun, friendly, professional photographer then he is your guy!

Wouldn't go anywhere else!

We hired Michael to take the photos for our wedding and from the start his service and friendliness were excellent! He was quick to contact back with any queries and was always happy to have a conversation. Our engagement shoot went well and we all got on very well which was very important for my husband and I as we hate having our photos taken! Michael made the whole experience fun and put us at ease, I would not hesitate to recommend or use him again. Thank you!

Would definitely use Michael again

Michael photographed our wedding in December. We asked for candid shots as we wanted to capture the moments outside of posed shots. Michael managed to capture our day perfectly for us, we felt relaxed and the shots resembled the happiness on our guests faces. Would definitely use Michael again. He also did our engagement shoot which we had our children involved in. He was really great with our kids and even managed to get them smiling at the same time. We love our engagement and wedding photos.

Michael is a really friendly guy and nothing was too much trouble

Michael made us feel very relaxed and captured some extremely natural images. He does not make you feel self conscious and made the entire experience enjoyable. Michael is a really friendly guy and nothing was too much trouble. The finished results following the shoot were ready quickly and sent to us in a digital gallery which was really easy to use. We would whole heartedly recommend him to friends and family or anybody looking for a professional photographer.

​Michael was so professional and stayed until our celebrations had ended to ensure he captured every moment

Michael was a great photographer to work with. As soon as he was booked he kept in regular contact with us to make sure he knew what we wanted to capture from the day and suggested other ideas that we hadn't considered. He even went to the venue beforehand to have a look for good photo locations. ​Michael was so professional and stayed until our celebrations had ended to ensure he captured every moment. He was extremely discreet and got some brilliant natural shots as well as the more formal ones we requested. Our photos were ready to view very quickly after the event and we are so happy with the outcome. ​We have already recommended to friends who saw his work on the day and asked for details. ​We would highly recommend Michael to capture your day.

Honestly could not have asked for a better photographer

Honestly could not have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. His photos are incredible. He has an eye for capturing photos that are both classic and unconventional. So many unique happy memories were caught on camera. Most importantly Michael is a lovely man, down to earth and very natural. Our family loved him! We really could not recommend Michael enough for any event.

We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Michael

We were recommended to use Michael for our wedding and he really didn't disappoint. During the prep we barely noticed he was there but he captured some great shots. He gave clear instructions, followed the list of special shots we really wanted and also captured some gems we hadn't even thought of. We are thrilled with the final results and so excited we now have these special memories to look over again and again. We really wouldn't hesitate to recommend Michael to anyone needing a relaxed but professional photographer.
