Writing an 'about me' personal profile is kind of hard... It either feels like I’m oversharing with new friends or promoting my most perfect self on Tinder, which for the benefit of my wife – I’ve never been on! So this feels weird & I’m going to start off slowly.
"I’m a wedding photographer based in South West London. I’ve been a professional for 13 years and have documented over 170 weddings to date." Ok, so that wasn’t so hard.
I believe weddings these days have become such a personal reflection of the couple getting married. Gone are the days of sticking with decades old traditions, thankfully! So if you’re keen to have your story told in a personal, natural, relaxed & most importantly, enjoyable way, without cliché'd poses, then I'd love to help. Which also means if you don't want lots of photos of your foreheads touching (Why would you?), just let me know. I'm happy with that too!
Couples tend to go with me for my creative portraits of the Bride & Groom which have an editorial feel. Your portriats may sometimes be posed but they are always relaxed, natural and most importantly, fun. I'm always on the hunt for a nifty nook for a photo or a shaft of light beaming through some trees or a window(It's a bit of an obsession of mine). My aim for your album is to capture the 'what actually happens on the sidelines' as well as the key moments, and most importantly I want your day not to be just about photos, but about you 2 having the most awesome day ever, and me documenting the love and the fun.
Couples in the main tend to go for a mix of documentary photography (i.e. me not getting involved) and a bit of posing/portraiture (me lightly directing things). And yes, you can absolutely can have a full set of formal photos with the family too!!. It's your day, so you get to choose and decide on everything. I will make a photography plan, discuss it with you & tweak it until you are happy. This way, you can both relax about the photography and enjoy the day knowing everything is in hand. You can be confident your photographer will be capturing both the formal & the fresh, with the contemporary & creative photos of you both. Yay!
And finally... don't worry if you don't have a huge master plan because I've still got your back & will happily walk you through the process & make some suggestions where they are welcome. You'll get my direct number for any questions you may have, at any time, leading up to the big day. I'm on your side every step of the way. From our first call through to delivering your photos in an album, you will be my priority.
I look forward to hearing your story…"

Reviews for Michael Willatt Photography
Top wedding photographer!
His creativity and attention to detail shone through in every shot, as well as attentively following our requests and last minute ideas. I loved how Michael captured every candid, heartfelt moment without ever feeling intrusive.
We’ve been blown away by the final photos—they perfectly tell the story of our day. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond to capture your wedding beautifully, is fun, kind and easy going, Michael is your guy. Highly recommended!
Great service, attitude and professionalism
On the day he was great - really amenable and pleasant to everyone, getting loads of natural shots as well as a few posed ones S per our request. Our guests commented on how he was everywhere but not intrusive at all. We cannot wait to see our final photos - if the few Michael sent over the day after the wedding are anything to go by, they’ll be fab!!
Michael Was Amazing, We Can’t Recommend him enough!
Highly recommended if you want exquisite shots without a moment’s stress and also happens to be an extraordinarily gifted photographer, hope we can work with Michael again for another event in the future.
Brilliant wedding photographer!
Thank you so much Michael for helping capture our day!
We hit the jackpot with Michael for our wedding snaps!
He has this knack for turning ordinary moments into Instagram-worthy memories. Seriously, every pic is a masterpiece - a mix of artsy and on point.
What sets him apart is the vibe he brings. It's like having a friend take your photos. No awkward poses, just pure fun. Our engagement shoot and the big day itself felt like a breeze with Michael in charge.
He totally got us, our style, and our wild ideas. Super easy to work with and open to anything, which made the whole process a blast. And the photos? Oh, they're pure magic. The colors pop, the emotions are real, and it tells our story perfectly.
Michael isn't just about the photos; he's a pro from start to finish. Reliable, speedy delivery, and the album? Unreal.
If you want a photographer who's as chill as they are talented, go with Michael. He turned our special day into a visual masterpiece. Seriously, don't think twice - book him now! 📸✨
