    Fantastic professional wedding photography services

    Michael was the photographer we chose for our recent wedding and we have been blown away by how great the whole experience with him has been from start to finish. From the moment we signed up with him the process was so easy - with clear regular communication in the weeks leading up to the big day as we were planning what we wanted - then on the day itself he blended in so seamlessly and helped us feel right at ease when doing formal photos. And wow the photos we’ve received at the end are brilliant!! We are so so pleased we went with Michael and can’t recommend him highly enough to others!

    Michael Willatt Photography's reply:

    Hi Jen,
    Thanks so much - this genuinely means a lot. Knowing that the process felt easy and that I managed to stay out of the way on the day (while still getting the shots) is exactly what I'm after. That's the sweet spot.

    I'm really pleased the photos landed for you both. You were so up for it on the day and made it such an enjoyable and easy shoot. When people are relaxed and enjoying themselves, it shows in every frame.

    Seriously, thanks for the kind words, and for trusting me with it all. Enjoy reliving those moments.

    Professional, flexible, and truly talented: A highly recommended wedding photographer!

    Michael Willatt was an absolute dream to work with! He was professional, polite, and communicative from day one. The pre-wedding shoot was so much fun and really set the stage for a seamless wedding day. He was remarkably flexible, kept everything stress-free, and delivered stunning photos. 10/10, highly recommend!

    Michael Willatt Photography's reply:

    Paul, thank you so much — really glad the pre-wedding shoot paid off on the day! Stress-free and stunning is exactly what I'm going for, so that means a lot. Wishing you both all the best! 🥂

    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.

    Michael Willatt Photography's reply:

    Josephine, thank you so much - this is so lovely to read! It was a real pleasure working with you both from those first planning calls right through to the day itself. You made it very easy to do my job. Wishing you both a wonderful life together! 🥂

    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!

    Michael Willatt Photography's reply:

    Alice, thank you so much — this genuinely made my day! It was such a brilliant wedding to be part of, and you and your guests made it incredibly easy to have a good time. Wishing you both all the happiness in the world. 🥂

    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.

    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

    We couldn’t be happier with our experience!

    We couldn’t be happier with our experience! From the very start, Michael was kind, professional, and such a calming presence on our big day. He blended in so seamlessly with our guests that it felt like he was part of the celebration, which meant he was able to capture the most beautiful candid moments that we’ll cherish forever.

    On top of that, the portrait shots Michael took of us are absolutely stunning — natural, timeless, and truly reflective of who we are as a couple. He managed to capture every emotion and little detail so perfectly.

    We are beyond grateful for Michael’s talent and effort. If you’re looking for someone who is not only an incredible photographer but also a joy to have around, we can’t recommend Michael enough!

    Michael Willatt Photography's reply:

    Thanks Jess, This is absolutely fantastic to read! I truly felt like part of the celebration and am so happy that my "calming ninja" style captured those beautiful, candid moments for you. Thank you so much for your incredible kindness and high recommendation. Wishing you both all the happiness in the world!
