Best photographer we could hope for!
I found Mike via a Google search and knew immediately that he was the photographer I wanted. His website is super engaging and easy to navigate. Communication with Mike was always easy, he's always professional but incredibly affable and approachable. His photos speak for themselves I think. He captured the spirit of our wedding perfectly, we are over the moon with the photos, as are all of our friends and family. Mike helped me think of things that I hadn't considered when organising the actual structure of our day via a form to complete for him to know what was going on and when (credit to Mike for inspiring the bubble guns). He was punctual and moved around the wedding gracefully and discreetly, although I'm certain lots of our guests were trying to be friends with him! He gives out those vibes! Mike was excellent value in all the ways, he was honest about what he thought would be valuable, and told me when he thought he had caught enough on camera and was a fantastic price when I compare prices with others online compared to the quality of pics. We had a sneak peek of 15 amazing pictures within a week and the full gallery within a month. I can't recommend Mike enough... thanks so much for bringing back to life our amazing wedding in September '23!

Best wedding photographer ever!
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. If we had another event in the horizon we wouldn't hesitate to give Mike a call again!

The 'moments'
Mike was absolutely brilliant throughout the whole wedding process, in terms of communicating with us and getting to know what we wanted to achieve from his photography. Although Mike was the photographer, he felt like a much bigger part of our special day and went above and beyond to help us to enjoy those 'moments'. We could not be happier with the pictures Mike took. We wanted creativity and energy as opposed to traditional static pictures, and Mike delivered this perfectly. Ultimately, our day had an extra special meaning as it was also a chance to celebrate with my wife's mother who only had months left to live due to terminal cancer. Mike was incredibly flexible and considerate with the circumstances around this and has captured some of the most special 'moments' that we will cherish forever. You not only get an incredible photographer, but a wonderful person. I'd 100% recommend Mike for your wedding.

Fun, beautiful photography
We chose Mike to photograph our wedding as we wanted a fun, unposed style and we couldn’t have made a better choice. He perfectly captured fun intricate moments between our friends and family whilst also catching the romance between my husband and I all of which told the story of our special day. As a couple, we’re not the most natural in front of the camera, but Mike made us feel so comfortable and we couldn’t be happier with how the photos came out. 10/10 would recommend Mike to everyone 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

You were a star on the day!
You were a star on the day, you made me and Chris feel so at ease, we enjoyed our day so much, and you are a part of why we did, so thank you. A friend of ours has already asked about your details, It is a testament to your work, that I completely forgot you were there at some points, as I find it hard to be natural in front of a camera, and I love how you captured the humour of the day, which is what we are all about...I feel like we didn't stop laughing all day!

Mike was a dream to work with!
Everyone loves our wedding photographs! Especially us! We love all the little moments that Mike captured, like the best man stroking a cat, Tom laughing in the middle of crying because his auntie told him a joke or Kirsty’s mum trying to Irish dance - All the little moments you want captured for a life time. Mike was a dream to work with and he went above and beyond for us, whether it was reminding us to enjoy the moment and not worry about things!

So professional and discrete!
Just a quick note to say thank you again for our beautiful photos. We've had lots of comments from our guests that you're one of the best wedding photographers they've come across - so professional and discrete! The relaxed style of the photos is exactly what we wanted and we think they captured our day brilliantly. We'll definitely be recommending you to others!

Mike was a brilliant & warm presence on the day!
As soon as we met Mike he put us immediately at ease and we knew he'd be able to capture our day perfectly (without loads of standing around posing which is so not us) Mike was a brilliant, warm presence on the day but also had the ability to capture really personal moments almost without you realising he was there. We found ourselves saying 'how did he get that!?' I hoped to have one nice photo of us I could put in a frame but we just have so many beautiful ones to choose from!

We were able to relax and enjoy!
Thank you so much for all you did on our wedding day! We couldn't have asked for anything more, and the photos speak for themselves, they are stunning! We had a great time with you on the day and were able to relax and enjoy, which definitely shows in the photos!

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

I was lucky enough to shoot a wedding in Sweden for a Swedish couple. It was in the south of the country with stunning locations and the reception involved a boat trip.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Relaxed, Natural, Modern, Fun & Creative

What about your business are you most proud of?

I'm good with people, being able to hep them relax around me and having their picture taken. I play a small but very important role in how my couples experience their day, good photography is also about how it felt not just what it looks like. I create photography that feels good and look good.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

However much confetti you thought you needed, double it!

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

I've seen two brides sing at their own weddings now! Getting stuck in and being part of the entertainment or using your talents, if that feels right for you is awesome!

Describe your typical process with a couple.

I capture things as they happen, you get to concentrate on enjoying your precious time together and with your friends and family. Confetti, groups and portraits will be well planned and fuss free!

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

I love a confetti moment! Not allowed confetti at your venue? Then maybe consider bubbles or ribbons on sticks!

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

Mum helping bride into her wedding shoes in her professional home podiatry clinic!

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Get some umbrellas that you don't mind being in your pictures. A big Umbro logo is unlikely to look good! If you have a change of footwear you may have more options to explore in wet weather for your little time out together, which is when we might get some lovely portraits of you both, even in wet weather!

Describe how you got into photography.

A friend of a friend needed cover at the last minute and I was roped in! Then two other people asked me that year. Within five years it was my full time job. I feel like Wedding Photography found me and I'm so glad it did!
