Michael is brilliant!
Michael is absolutely brilliant. We were lucky enough to have an engagement shoot included in our package and Michael immediately helped us feel at ease. He was knowledgeable about the local area, having suggestions for where we could do the shoot, and he knew the best places to go which were relatively quiet.
On the wedding day we couldn't have asked for more. He took all of our suggestions and got all of the photos we wanted. He was very friendly and professional throughout. I would 100% recommend him.
Thank you Michael!

The perfect experience for wedding photography
Michael was the perfect photographer from start to finish and we can’t recommend him enough! He took the time to call and talk though our ideas before meeting and was fully on board with our preference for natural, candid photos rather than poses and lots of direction. Having the engagement shoot included was really helpful as I normally hate having my photo taken, but Michael was so friendly and really put us at ease in front of the camera. We had a lot of fun taking the photos in both shoots and it was such a lovely part of our wedding day.
We’re thrilled with our photos and loved looking through them. Michael managed to capture so many of the little, special moments without us even realising!
We were really appreciative of how friendly, relaxed and professional Michael was, and he really has an eye for taking beautiful photos in the moment!

Photos by Michael
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

Most patient talented photographer in town!
Michael was nothing short of an amazing photographer for our wedding celebration. From the moment I emailed him to the day itself, it was clear that he is not only talented but also genuinely cared about creating a personalised experience for us.
On the day, Michael was a true professional. He seamlessly blended in with the guests (he was one!) making everyone feel comfortable and at ease.
The quality of the pictures was amazing and he not only captured the portrait shots but also the small moments that we wouldn't have remembered.
If you are looking for a photographer who will go above and beyond to capture your special day, I highly recommend Michael.

Beautiful candid photos
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.

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