I take bold, colourful and natural wedding photos by being as unobtrusive as possible. I don't stage or direct moments, and promise not to take you away from your guests (or delicious canapes!) for hours. I'll arrange any formal family photos you'd like, and focus on all the fun and unique moments for the rest of the day.
Whether you're planning an intimate gathering with a handful of people in England, or a big party with 150+ friends and family abroad, I'll blend in with your guests and provide a beautiful record of your day. From your bridesmaids' reactions to seeing you in your dress for the first time to walking back down the aisle as a newly married couple, I'll be there for all the important moments that will unfold throughout the day.

Services
Every couple is different - and differences should be celebrated. While some might want me there until 2am, eight hours might suit you best. If you're planning a smaller wedding, then two hours might be just right! No matter how long I am at your wedding, I will be working my socks off to provide you with your dream photos.
From our very first email exchange and Skype conversation we knew Michael was the one. He's so charming, positive, and vibrant that even in the earliest of conversations his personality shines through the distance and screens between himself and clients. From day 1 to day-of (and ever after) Michael has been attentive, warm, and adaptable.
I offer beautiful and timeless fine-art albums that are hand-made right here in the UK so that you can enjoy your wedding photos for years to come. They open completely flat, are bound in genuine leather and the photos are printed directly onto the page. They're known for their craftsmanship, and will last a lifetime if looked after well.

Michael captured our wedding at Bingham Riverhouse, Richmond, in September and was such a delight to work with. He was communicative, flexible when our plans changed, and a lovely presence on the day. A lot of our guests also commented how lovely he was and how he managed to blend into the background. Michael’s use of colour and his editing really show off our beautiful flowers and venue, and the reportage style captured the relaxed nature of the day. We cannot recommend Michael enough. Thank you!

Michael photographed our wedding at The Petersham in Richmond. He was absolutely brilliant - spent time with us beforehand, listened to what we wanted, talked through the day to understand how everything was going to flow to work out how best to move around the venue and learned about our kids and closest guests. We wanted reportage / casual shots and Michael captured that style just as we had discussed.
Michael really added to the day, making suggestions that added experiences for us all, as well as adding great photos. His relaxed and understated way of making everyone, including our 4 kids

We couldn’t be happier that we chose Michael to be our wedding photographer. He listened to all of our wishes and requests and was always happy to chat through anything on the lead up to our big day which really reassured us.
He blended into the background so much so that throughout the ceremony I totally forgot he was there until I saw the beautiful images. He was organised and set up all of the group shots we wanted swiftly without interrupting the order of the day and still allowing us to mingle with guests and have welcome drinks. We were so pleased with his work on the day, and when we

Michael was the best photographer that we could have asked for at our wedding! He captured our day perfectly and we can look back at the photos and reminisce as if it happened yesterday. Each photo was beautifully edited and his style of capturing the natural emotions at the wedding was what we were looking for. The build up to wedding was flawless and made everything run so smoothly! Michael was great fun to work with and we would highly recommend him for his professionalism and attention to detail. Thank you again Michael!!

My wife and I had asked Michael for his services for our civil ceremony in the summer of 2021. I don’t know where to begin in saying how great this choice has been. Needless to say, there are many wedding photographers out there, especially in a city like London. Selecting the right person to capture your special day, especially when you cant actually physically meet them during a pandemic, can be a daunting task. We were fortunate enough to have received a list of photographers from our wedding venue which we carefully vetted and consequently reached out to the few we selected. From the first

No hesitation in recommending Michael. He made our preparations easy, was a total pro on the day, and the photos turned out beautifully. His candid, in-the-moment style captured the day perfectly (and we squeezed a few group shots in as well). Cheers Michael! Adam & Emma

Michael did an incredible job at our wedding- he caught all the little moments that made the day so special. His photos are beautiful and we'll treasure them. As well as being such a talented creative professional, he's also a genuinely lovely person and a delight to work with. Can't recommend him highly enough

Michael is an incredible photographer. We were immediately drawn to his documentary style when browsing for our options for our wedding.
having postponed twice, Michael was always checking in to see how things were going and giving us relevant updates. On the day of the wedding Michael was fab - he put us all at ease and was always there for the best shots, but never in the way of the moments. He captured so many beautiful, candid shots, that really tell the story of the best day of our lives. We are so grateful to Michael for the amazing job he did! I would recommend him to anyone.

Michael was incredible! From start to finish his involvement in our wedding was brilliant. He was communicative and attentive before the day, listening to our ideas but also bringing his own suggestions. On the day he was so professional and personable, making our guests feel at ease. And best of all the photos are better than we could have even imagined. He sent us through a small selection within days which was lovely for us to be able to share with friends and family who couldn't be at the wedding due to COVID. Thank you!!

I should of written this review a few months ago. Michael was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. His attention to detail, his professionalism, his kindness was just faultless. He is an incredible photographer and captures such beautiful moments in your wedding that you would not even see. We are so lucky to of had Michael as our photographer. If you are getting married and need a photographer, look no further. Thank you for being part of our day.
