ABOUT ME
"I PHOTOGRAPH WEDDINGS FOR PEOPLE WHO CARE MORE ABOUT THE MARRIAGE THAN THE WEATHER FORECAST"
I’m Michael. Most people call me Mike.
If you’re planning a wedding that feels like you, not a Pinterest reenactment, we’ll probably get on very well.
I don’t believe weddings need to be stiff, staged, or stress-filled to be beautiful. The best moments usually happen when plans loosen their grip. A laugh that wasn’t scheduled. A hug that lasts a second longer than expected. That look you give each other when something goes slightly wrong and you realise you don’t actually care.
My job is to notice those moments and make sure they’re never lost.
What it’s like to have me there on the day.
I’m calm when things run late.
I’m cheerful when it rains.
I know where to stand and when to disappear.
I won’t ask you to “act natural” while pointing a camera at your face. I won’t steal you away for hours. I won’t turn your wedding into a photoshoot with guests waiting awkwardly nearby.
Instead, I work in the background, gently guiding when it helps and stepping back when it matters. Most couples tell me it feels less like hiring a supplier and more like having someone quietly on their side.
This isn’t about trends. It’s about stories that last.
Long after the confetti has been swept away and the cake has been eaten, your photos remain. They’re what you’ll come back to when you want to remember how it felt, not just how it looked.
That’s why I focus on honest, timeless storytelling rather than whatever style is fashionable this year. I want your images to feel just as meaningful decades from now as they do when you first see them.
I might not be the right photographer if…
You want everything perfectly posed and controlled.
You’d be upset if your shoes got muddy.
Photos are just another box to tick.
But if you want real laughter, real connection, and a photographer who won’t panic when the plan changes, then we’ll get on just fine.
Non-traditional friendly. Chaos tolerant. Fully prepared.
Some of my favourite photos have happened because something didn’t go to plan.
A ceremony interrupted by laughter.
A dress hem soaked from dancing in the rain.
A timeline that politely stopped being relevant after the second drink.
If you’re the kind of couple who would rather enjoy the moment than worry about perfection, you’re exactly my people. I’m here to document what actually happens, not what was meant to happen.
One last thing
I photograph a limited number of weddings each year. Not because I can’t do more, but because every couple deserves my full attention and energy. When you book me, you’re not just booking photos. You’re booking someone who’ll keep their head, keep an eye out, and quietly make sure nothing important slips by.
If that sounds like what you’re looking for, I’d love to hear about your plans.
These couples didn’t just book a photographer. They booked peace of mind. Every collection I send out is a reminder of what love felt like that day, not just what it looked like.
He brought the sunshine!
Due to illness, we didn't actually meet Mike until the morning of our wedding. Immediately he got in amongst it all and was just amazing. He brings a wealth of wedding hacks which could prove to be useful on your big day! He met us at the venue and was a contagious ball of fun and positive energy. He knew I was nervous and kept me calm during the ceremony too. Throughout the day Mike's attention to detail and thinking outside the box for unique shots was so wonderful to watch. We didn't feel at all in front of the lens or pressured to pose for photos.

Your photographer, and friend for life.
We have been lucky to have had a few sessions with Michael, from first meeting him at a friends wedding we knew that when our time came to get married there would be no other choice. From the pre wedding shoot, our wedding day, to capturing moments with our fur baby - we know we've got a supporter for life and we can't wait for him to capture more moments. When it came to our wedding day, Michael was nothing but the biggest cheerleader, helper, sun cream provider and organiser. It was an incredibly hot day, he didn't bat an eyelid to it, and just cracked on and smashed out a 10hr+ day with no complaints. Michael was a guest at our wedding, not just a vendor and having him as your photographer was the best decision we made for our day. Thank you Michael!!

Professional and easy-going- hire him!
We chose Mike because he was laid back and easy to get on with. Neither me nor my husband are confident people, but Mike really did his best to hype us up and make us feel relaxed. Also bonus points for managing our mad dogs at the pre shoot!
On our wedding day, all of our guests had something good to say about Mike. He was easy to find when you needed him, but also blended in so well we didn't notice him half the time. We have now received all our photos and couldn't be happier with them. He has really managed to capture the laid back day and evening party vibe we wanted!
