Capturing the Heart of Your Day

We felt incredibly privileged to have Mike as our photographer on our wedding day. He was so lovely and enthusiastic whenever we spoke to him, yet also managed to disappear seamlessly into the background throughout the day so that we never felt any kind of intrusion during the quieter and more private moments. Both my husband and I can be a little self-conscious in front of the camera, but Mike really made us feel at ease. He never made us adopt silly poses and allowed us to decide what we wanted. Whether that be drawing in certain family members for formal group shots, or going on a walk down to the nearby rivers edge, where I hiked up my dress to run across the road and squeeze through a kissing gate.

The very next day, we were thrilled to receive a selection of preview shots, and saying we were pleased would be a massive understatement. Every single photo was stunning and perfectly captured the fun, love, and joy of our day. We couldn’t resist sharing them on social media immediately—how could we not when they looked that incredible? We are both so excited to see the full gallery and relive those moments all over again.

With my husband being a professional photographer, we knew from the start that our standards for wedding photography would be high. Choosing Mike took careful research, but as soon as we saw his work—so vibrant and full of character—we were certain that we wanted him to be a part of our day. Initially, we decided to hold off on ordering an album, thinking my husband might want to create one himself from the final gallery. But once we saw the preview shots, we both instantly agreed: we wanted Mike to design our album. His artistry and skill deserves to be showcased in the best possible way, preserving the magic of the day so we can experience it exactly as he intended.

Choosing a wedding photographer can feel like a lot of pressure—you only get one chance to capture those memories. But if we could go back in time to make the decision again, we would choose Mike without hesitation. If you’re looking for a photographer who brings fun, authenticity, and effortless storytelling to your day, we can’t recommend him highly enough.

The best wedding photographer around

If you're on the hunt for a wedding photographer, look no further: Mike's the one. He was such a joy to have around on our wedding day. He was patient and kind, and really good at putting us at ease on the day. He has such a talent for capturing hidden moments and finding cool, interesting angles. We're SO, so happy we booked him: our guests are still raving about how lovely our photographer was.

Excellent, Friendly, Photographer

Mike was our photographer for our wedding in September and we are over the moon with our pictures. He took the time to meet with us before the big day to make sure that he knew the type of pictures we wanted. He came around the morning of the wedding and took pictures of the bridal party getting ready and was really discreet about being there. He was polite to everyone on the day making sure everyone got together for pictures and capturing the special moments. We are really happy with the service he provided on the day and would highly recommend him to other people to use. Thanks Mike. Jen and Rick xx

Amazing natural shots

“We wanted the photographs to tell the story of the day and Mike did this perfectly! His natural shots were amazing, better than I could ever have imagined. We liked Mike’s alternative, unique and quirky style this made him stand out from everyone else. We also instantly knew he understood exactly what we wanted.”

"We would just like to send you a big thank you for the services you provided on our wedding day. You created a really relaxed yet professional atmosphere. Our photos are truly amazing. They bring back all the emotions of the day, our laughter, tears and joy and will be cherished for many years to come. Our wedding album is fantastic. We couldn't have asked for better. Everyone who we have shown our album to has been so impressed with the quality and creativity of the photos, which perfectly capture everything about our perfect day. I never get tired of looking at the wonderful pictures. We will be recommending you to our friends when they get married for sure!"
