About
Hi! I'm Michael and I am a Wedding Photographer based in Derbyshire and beyond.
I would describe my style as natural and unobtrusive, perfect for capturing all the real moments that make your day special.
I pride myself on delivering you professional quality photographs using professional grade equipment. Each image will be carefully edited in my own style before being presented to you in a bespoke online gallery from which you can enjoy unlimited downloads.
With my full day package you will receive at least 400 photos and coverage from bride prep all the way to just after the first dance. All my packages include a pre wedding consultation either by phone or on Zoom, along with an engagement shoot which is the perfect opportunity for us to meet and go over your ideas for the big day.
If you would like to know more about my photography packages or if you have any questions at all, please get in touch.

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
