About

Candid, natural, personable, and easy going; that’s my style.

What couples have said about me:

"We both just wanted to take some time to thank you for Saturday. You were amazing all day, especially going above and beyond to be a temporary seamstress for us! The posed photos could've been such a pain with extended family and the children but it all went so smoothly. Putting everyone at ease and being especially great with the kids. You were also extremely stealth in the evening. So much so that until you came to say goodbye, we had forgotten you were around!"

"We are so glad that we chose Mike to photograph our wedding day. We absolutely love the photos! They perfectly capture the emotion of the day and we will cherish them forever. Mike was very professional and even went to look at the venue before the big day. He fitted into our wedding day seamlessly and we barely noticed him taking most of the photos. It was a joy to have Mike as our photographer."

"We had the most amazing day and cannot thank you enough for your kind and calm nature, patience and for making us feel at ease the entire time. We have had so many people say how brilliant you were but the biggest compliment we can give you (my parents said this too!) is that it felt more like you were a guest than a supplier. Thank you for playing such an important role in our special day."

"Mike we've just signed in and you are the cleverest person ever!!!!! These are beautiful 😍😍😍"

What's my style?

I’ve been to weddings, as a guest, where photographers have blocked our view of the bride and groom, noisily clicking away throughout memorable moments and disturbing the atmosphere - that is not my approach at all. Instead, I love being a fly on the wall, documenting your wedding day with a reportage style using unobtrusive and discrete (silent) Leica and Fuji cameras.

The paragraph I used to have here said that I delivered flawless photos full of love and life, but that’s not entirely true. If you want someone to direct you into flawless poses, I am not the person you want. My photographs capture the laughs, tears, funny moments, happy moments, sad moments and realism. A true reflection of your wedding day (and night). I get stuck in and mix with the guests, I laugh with you and run around for you, I do not force you to do anything you don’t want to.

I really enjoy wedding photography as a refreshing parallel to busy commercial work. I welcome everyone to drop me a message and have a no pressure chat so that we can discuss a tailored package, just for you.

More than just a photographer!

We cannot thank Mike enough for his kind and calm nature, patience and for making us feel at ease the entire time. We have had so many people say how brilliant he was but the biggest compliment we can give is that it felt more like he was a guest than a supplier.
We are so pleased with our photos and they really capture the emotions, and most importantly the fun and love that we felt, during the day.
Thank you Mike for playing such an important role in our special day.

Friendly, relaxed and highly skilled photographer

Mike did such an amazing job of capturing all the special moments of our small wedding. We didn't want awkward poses, just some snaps to tell the story of our celebration and Mike certainly delivered on this. We requested candid shots but I had mentioned 2 specific ideas I liked and sent examples (confetti shot and a street shot) he absolutely nailed these as well as all the others! He was friendly and relaxed with our family including our 5 year old and managed to get such a great range of shots of everyone. I knew they would be lovely but I was blown away at how nice they were and so happy that we have them to always look back on. Thank you Mike!

Thank you!!

Mike has been absolutely fantastic from the moment we first made contact. We received speedy replies and arrange an initial zoom call where we instantly knew Mikes style was what we were after, natural and candid! We met with Mike at the venue prior to the wedding to have a walk around and he picked out some great spots for photos. On the day Mike blended in with the guests and we had no idea when or where photos were being taken which captured the moments perfectly! We had so many compliments from guests and the venue on how brilliant Mike was. He was so patient with our two young boys and got them in more photos than we thought! We’ve received all our photos from the day and absolutely love them, we’ll treasure them forever.
Thank you again for being part of our special day and we couldn’t recommend you enough!!

Summer Bristol Wedding

We are so glad that we chose Mike to photograph our wedding day. We absolutely love the photos! They perfectly capture the emotion of the day and we will cherish them forever. Mike was very professional and even went to look at the venue before the big day. He fitted into our wedding day seamlessly and we barely noticed him taking most of the photos. It was a joy to have Mike as our photographer.
