Quality and fabulous

Michelle is EXCEPTIONAL. I had followed her on social media for a few years and I saw her photography journey grow. I had already met Michelle in a previous job and knew her as a lovely, bubbly and fun person with a great vision. I had already made my mind up to have Michelle when we got engaged. The write up on Michelle's website sums her brand up perfectly, she is a 'photographer with an abundance of positive energy to help calm your nerves, keep things on track and sort any issues so you're not stressing.' This is exactly what she did. She even compromised with our rainy wedding day and took some fantastic indoor shots. The best service and quality you should expect for your wedding, but with a definite added bit of fun and pwrsonality. Could not recommend her higher! Thank you again!

Above and beyond expectations!

We organised our wedding from New Zealand. Therefore most of our wedding research was done online.
Michelle’s bio caught my attention, out of the 20 I read she was the only one who felt right to contact.
We met in person two months before the wedding. We formed an instant connection and felt assured that Michelle understood our brief and would capture our special day perfectly. Michelle went above and beyond!
We love our photographs and our New Zealand family felt as though they where with us!

Capturing the perfect moments ✨

We knew that our wedding day had to be captured by amazing Michelle, she has the ability to get those real natural shots but also has a wonderful energy about herself, the get up and go to get guests together for those big group shots and even creative ideas to give your photos a unique aspect. We loved them so much we even had to ask her back to be the photographer at our big birthday celebrations. Highly recommend ✨

5* from start to finish!

When our original photographer let us down just weeks before our wedding, Michelle from Mahoney Weddings stepped in and saved the day. Our original photographer going AWOL was clearly a huge blessing in disguise, as I now couldn't imagine Michelle not being our photographer! From the moment we first contacted her, Michelle was professional, empathetic, and incredibly accommodating.

On the wedding day, Michelle was a true professional, with a calming and caring energy. She wasn’t intrusive at all, often blending into the background while still managing to capture every important moment. It was like having an extra guest who just happened to take stunning photos and videos!

Michelle has an excellent presence and co-ordinated even our most rambunctious guests for the group photos with confidence. We have the most beautiful photos of our guests feeling at ease and showing their lovely natural smiles or laughing, as Michelle has a few tricks up her sleeve to get the best out of your guests!

The final products were delivered on time and exceeded all our expectations. Each photo and video was unbelievably beautiful, capturing the essence and emotions of the day perfectly. We were both moved to tears during our first look as Michelle's work truly tells the story of our day from start to finish, and she goes the extra mile to get that perfect shot.

Special shout out also to second shooter Mich, who was amazing and captured a wonderful second perspective of our day. Thank you also for your care and attention in helping with fiddly dress buttons and making sure our trains always looked pretty for the photos!

We couldn’t be happier with our decision to go with Mahoney Weddings. If you’re looking for a talented, reliable, and passionate photographer and videographer, look no further than Michelle.

Thank you, Michelle, for making our day unforgettable!
Leigh and Sam xx

Amazing 😍 absolute best there is 💜

We started off with our engagement pictures done by Michelle after we won a session on Instagram and oh my God this was fate they were amazing and engagement pictures featured in our wedding and there is hand on heart no one else we would of chose to do our wedding pictures. She makes you feel so relaxed, played a massive part in our wedding in general because she is just Michelle and such a beautiful lovely person! We were honored to have her there with us and give us the memories of our amazing day! Our wedding was very intimate and to us Michelle was another family member. Would 100% recommend she is amazing 😍

Amazing photographer!

Michelle was the photographer for our wedding back in March. She is amazing we would definitely recommend her!!
From when we first met her at the engagement photoshoot she was so friendly and made us feel relaxed. We are very happy with our wedding photos, she captured every aspect of the day, and got some beautiful photos of us and our family and friends that we will treasure forever.
She was so organised on the wedding day as well, and got all the couple photos done efficiently so that we weren’t taken away from the party for too long!
Thank you so much Michelle 😊

Wedding photographer

Michelle was fantastic! We had a pre-wedding shoot where she got to know us and give advice on what to expect on the big day. She arrived to the wedding and got to work immediately, making sure she was floating between the bridal party and the groomsmen to capture every moment, we have some very special shots that tell the story of our day from both perspectives. She managed to get candid shots which caputured the essence of our whole day. We stop looking at them all. We have had so many positive compliments from our guests about Michelle and how friendly and professional she was. l already expectations were massively exceeded! We are in LOVE with out pictures.

Amazing, professional

Michelle and David where nothing but utter professionals from the moment we chose them to capture our wedding day. Nothing was too much trouble (even my need to always be in the left) they made us feel completely at ease and captured the most incredible moments and we barely noticed they were there. We would highly recommend Mahoney Pics for wedding photography we were truly amazed with the amount of perfect photographs that were taken.
