On Hitched.co.uk since 2023

Last update: April 2025

Hello you beautiful human beings!

Mike here, your guy behind the lens at MCP 🤙🏻

I have been a regional finalist 2 years running now but my photography isn’t about winning awards. It is about making you, the couple, feel as comfortable as you can be on your wedding day.

I am the sort of photographer that captures messy over perfect, unscripted over fabricated, reality over fantasy! Natural moments are the key to capturing your day in its true light and having those moments for you to look back on.

I always aim to be more then just your photographer. Think of me more as a member of your wedding party that just happened to bring the equipment! Making you laugh, calming those nerves, helping you with those ties and button holes, helping you with your dress and so much more!

If you would like to hear more and have a chat then feel free to drop me a message!

Only a couple of dates remain for 2025 and bookings are open for 2026/27
