    Thoughtful & personalised! Highly recommend!

    We had such a lovely experience with Michael - what an absolute gentleman! From our very first reach out, the prep calls in-between, and the day itself, Michael was professional and thoughtful throughout.

    He guided us through the practical tips & planning that would help on the day (group shots, places nearby for location between venues), and the pre-wedding shoot was indeed a great idea to do to get all involved as comfortable as possible. We, for example, chose a completely different venue vs. what would be the actual church venue.

    He was enthusiastic about the different things we wanted to try, and the correspondence of admin via email & calls was a consistent and reassuring presence. On the wedding day, he was extremely sensitive about positioning and not being in the way. He also got on great with a number of our guests - making it a fun experience all around! We’d wholeheartedly recommend Michael to others; he’s a trusted & supportive pair of hands for sure.

    Incredible photos, amazing service

    Michael was very professional and accommodating. We had him as our photographer at our wedding, and he captured the sentiments perfectly while being discreet. Would highly recommend him to anyone.

    An Absolute Joy to Work With!

    If you are looking for a photographer who is as talented as they are kind, look no further than Michael Willatt. From the very first moment we booked him, through every stage of the planning process, Michael was the definition of professional.

    ​What truly sets Michael apart, though, is his incredible personality. He is so easy-going and has a natural gift for putting everyone at ease. He didn't just take photos; he made the entire process incredibly fun! He has this amazing ability to interject joy into the day, making us feel completely comfortable in front of the lens.

    ​Our guests haven't stopped raving about him, either. Every single person we spoke to commented on how lovely he was and how much they enjoyed his presence. He felt less like a vendor and more like a part of the celebration.

    ​The photos are absolutely fantastic. We couldn't be happier with how he captured the essence of our day. We cannot recommend Michael highly enough—he is a true professional and a wonderful person to have by your side on such a special occasion!

    A moment to remember.

    Michael Willatt is a very detailed oriented and patient photographer. knowing this day the customer demands could be so personal and varied. Michael could always adjust to suit the best of customer's need. Michael' ve been on the spot of my wedding for solid 4 hours and captured lots of precious moments. My partner and me have very high demand and Michael have been always very helpful. I really appreciate that.

    Michael Willatt Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much for the kind words! I truly believe that every wedding is unique, and I take great pride in being able to adapt to the specific needs of my couples. It was a pleasure working with you both to ensure those high standards were met. I’m thrilled that I could capture those precious moments for you!

    Great photographer and a great experience!

    Michael was a great photographer. From start to finish he was calm, flexible and really responsive. The pre-wedding/engagement with Michael helped us learn about him and for him to get to know us. This session helped us relax and made the day a lot easier. Our wedding photos are fabulous and we love them. Thank you Michael!

    Michael Willatt Photography's reply:

    Thank you for trusting me with your wedding! I had a great time working with you both. That pre-wedding session was such a highlight for me, too—it makes such a difference when we can head into the wedding day with a solid connection. Enjoy those photos!

    Michael is an amazing photographer and person!

    We found Michael online and reached out via email. He got back to us so quickly and we booked in a call to discuss what we were after. He was super friendly, clearly very experienced and knowledgeable, we felt we were in safe hands! We decided to book with Michael and his communication throughout was great, everything felt really organised.

    When it came to the wedding day, he was so great - calming, fun, very professional. I didn’t even notice him he just knows what to do!

    We were so pleased with our photos, we got them much quicker than we expected too! His photography is fantastic but having him part of are day was just so lovely. Can’t stress enough how reassuring and skilled he is!

    Would absolutely recommend to everyone! Thank you so much Michael!

    Michael Willatt Photography's reply:

    Wow, thank you so much for this incredibly kind review! It honestly made my whole week.

    I'm thrilled you felt comfortable and in safe hands from our first chat. My goal is always to make the process easy and organised, so you can just enjoy the day.

    Hearing that I was a 'calming' and 'fun' presence is genuinely one of the best compliments I could get! I always try to blend in and capture the real moments, so I'm chuffed I succeeded. I'm also so happy you love the photos and appreciate the quick turnaround!

    Thank you again for trusting me with your day. It was a true pleasure to be part of it. Wishing you all the happiness in the world!

    All the best,

    Michael

    Book Michael - seriously good choice

    We were so happy with Michael as our photographer. He's a real pro, took some showstopping pictures and is an easygoing lovely guy (important as you'll spend a lot of time with your photographer). We appreciated the engagement shoot as a warmup (we are pretty awkward people in front of a camera) so the actual day was relaxed and easy. Michael was super responsive, very organised and touched up pictures for us where requested ;) Wouldn't hesitate to recommend

    Michael Willatt Photography's reply:

    Wow, thank you so much for the 'shows topping' recommendation Livi! I absolutely loved working with you both. Being 'easygoing' is my goal because I know how much time we spend together on the day—I'm so glad it felt that way to you. You definitely didn't look awkward; you looked incredible!

    GREAT Photographer

    We loved having Michael at our wedding. He was really professional. He made us feel at ease and was great with all of our guests. But most importantly his pictures were stunning. We only wish we could afford to pint them all!

    Michael Willatt Photography's reply:

    Hi Keith, Thank you so much! It was such a pleasure meeting your families and friends—your guests were a joy to work with, which made my job so much easier. I’m thrilled that you’re struggling to pick favourites to print; that is exactly the 'problem' I want my couples to have! 😉

    We could not of been happier with the experience.

    Michael was an absolute joy to work with and did a fantastic job photographing our wedding. From the very first phone call, Michael was responsive, thoughtful and friendly. He had some great suggestions about where to take photographs and made us both feel at ease. He made the whole day run smoothly whilst being fun to be around. If you are considering hiring Michael, I would whole-heartedly recommend that you do.

    Michael Willatt Photography's reply:

    Hi Lyn, This means the world to me, thank you! Working with couples who are open to ideas and suggestions makes my job a dream.
    I’m so glad you had a fantastic experience from start to finish. It was an honour to be your wedding photographer!
