Briggsy was one of the highlights of our wedding day!! His fun, relaxed and chilled vibe put everyone at ease. He felt like one of our wedding guests and every time we looked, he was capturing an amazing moment- he just seemed to be everywhere at the right time! !! Our day would not have been the same without Briggsy there and we are just SO excited to get our photos- from the sneak peak we have seen, they will be bloody amazing!! Thanks Briggsy xx More...

Briggsy = best photographer imaginable! He stepped into the crazy house of Bride & Bridesmaids and eased everyone’s nerves immediately with his fun vibe and infectious positive attitude! He had us in fits of laughter and knew exactly how to get the perfect “action” shots! He doesn’t miss a beat and we cannot wait to see his work! He had everyone in amazement with his camera skills and had the guests revved up and excited to be captured! Thank you so much for capturing the best day of our lives and for most of all making it fun and carefree for us all! L.E.G.E.N.D Regards, Laura & Glenn Teasdale More...

This is an incredibly late bit of feedback, given that our wedding was back in October 2017! That said, Michael and his buddy were first class from the beginning to the end. The quality of the shots, the situations and creative ideas to make for some brilliant moments... nothing could have gone better. From the initial meet and greet a few days before the wedding, to present... Living in Australia you would think in 2019 it would be easy to download the whole gallery of photos, however we have internet for the dark ages down under, so I had to hold on to popping back to the UK just now before re-attempting the re-download... I was concerned when I tried to grab the gallery again and it was non-existent! I contacted Michael, who once again showed immense probity (given how long it has been) and assured me our gallery is still online, providing me a new link to the servers. Cheers Michael; if we ever decide to make a renewal of vowels or something else special again, we'll be in touch. All the best, Sasha and Dean More...

Our photos are absolutely amazing we love them so much! We enjoyed having him as part of our day and would recommend if you want awesome photos to book him!

I remember planning my wedding many years ago and searching through photographers online. The minute that I stumbled across Briggsy’s photos years ago I was absolutely amazed! Briggsy just has pure natural talent and love for what he does and this absolutely shines through. Our whole wedding experience wouldn’t have been the same without him! He was so friendly, calming and knowledgeable on our wedding day and as a person who wasn’t very comfortable with taking “couples” photos he guided us through and captured the most natural and beautiful photos and all our special moments. We cannot thankyou enough for all you did on our day and will continue to look back at each individual photo because they are all so amazing! I literally cannot keep my eyes off them!!! I highly recommend Briggsy, our day just wouldn’t have been the same without him! More...

Briggsy was the absolute perfect fit for our wedding. His skill in capturing the captivating moments on our wedding day was extraordinary and seemingly effortless. We had a lot of laughs with this legend, as did all of our guests. We loved how natural and relaxing he was to work with and still rave about him to this day! Our photos tell the story of our wedding day perfectly and evoke so many emotions and memories. Do yourself a favour and book Briggsy! More...

After meeting Briggsy we decided to lock him in straight away because we didn’t want to miss out. He was everything we were about and wanted for our wedding day: relaxed and fun. He was the first supplier we booked. As soon as Briggsy rocked up to photograph my bridesmaids and I, I knew it was going to be an enjoyable, stress-free day. He is full of energy (and hilarious) which calmed my nerves. You don’t want a quiet or boring photographer telling you how to pose; you want excitement and to get the party started! We are generally awkward with public affection but being photographed felt so natural. We’ve received many compliments on how much we are smiling and laughing in all our photos. These moments were not at all forced which is what we loved (maybe a couple were, but they’re for family!) The sunset photos are our absolute faves! Stunning. We felt incredibly lucky to have such a talented photographer for our day. He was a hit with our family & friends and gets along with everyone. Highly recommend! Thanks Briggsy for capturing such special moments that we’ll treasure forever. Kate and Jez x More...

Briggsy, what an absolute flurry of personality. He was the very first supplier that we booked once we locked in our date. We were adamant that he had to be our photographer before we even met him. In fact we could have happily booked him without meeting him. He is so very informative through the whole process. Any questions we had, he had an answer to and was always willing to provide suggestions. On the day, when Briggsy arrived at our location he certainly brought the party with him. He made everyone feel so comfortable with his presence and made the day even more enjoyable. Briggsy was so professional through the whole experience and everyone has made comment about how fantastic he was on the day. We’re so proud to show off our photos, he really nailed it. More...

Michael covered our wedding a couple of weeks ago and we were very very pleased with the service from start to finish. We met up and spoke on many occasions about the day and what we wanted from a photographer, had a pre wedding shoot which made us surprisingly relaxed and got us in the mood for the big day, on the day Michael was on time and went about taking pictures that we had discussed and lots of his own creative and natural shots without us really even noticing. Throughout the wedding he kept to time scale and captured all of the shots we wanted and again lots more natural and creative ideas. We viewed and had access to the pictures online within a week of the wedding and they are simply wonderful, we could not be more happy with them and can not wait to have them developed - just need to choose from all of the great photos now!.

We had so much fun with it at the same time and that was all down to him making us feel so relaxed and at ease. So many of our family and friends commented on what an incredible photographer we had and we couldn't agree more. We wanted someone who was unlike the traditional wedding photographers and that's exactly what we got with Mike, who is literally a creative genius. We were even graced with a rainbow to top off our special day, which of course Mike was as excited about as much as we were!

Briggsy... WOW... Where do we even begin? From the moment we stepped out of our inital meeting with you 18 months before our wedding, we knew you were the perfect person to capture our big day. Our confidence and trust in you was the one thing that we never changed our minds on once throughtout the entire planning process. Fast forward to our wedding day and your enthusiams and the pure joy you brought along with you was completly infectious. We truly felt like you were as happy and excited for us as our friends and family were. Every laugh and every smile on our faces for the entire day was 100% genuine - the bridal party and Pat and I felt so comfortable and relaxed and most of all, we were having fun. We did not want our wedding day to be a stiff or formal affair and your precence there certainly put all of us in the mood to party from the first moment of the day through to the last. Our friends and family have not stopped raving about 'that awesome photographer' and many of our guests thought you must have already been a close personal friend of ours because you were just so genuinly happy for us all day. And then came the photos. We are so, so blown away by our wedding photos and have spent hours staring at them already. Whenever we look back on them, we can feel the happiness and excitment we were feeling that day coming right out of the images. They are beautifully shot and excude so much love. They are going to serve as the most amazing memories of just how awesome our wedding day was and they will take pride of place, proudly on display in our home for the rest of our lives. Thank you Briggsy, for being the best wedding photographer we could of hoped for, and an all around top notch guy! If we could go back and do it all again, we'd chose you every time!

Simply put, Michael Briggs (or Briggsy) is amazing at what he does. He's energetic, passionate, professional, helpful and organised. When we received our online album, my husband and I did exactly as Briggsy suggested; we settled down together, our favourite Elton John CD playing in the background, and our pup running around us as we viewed each and every photo from the day. I can say with total confidence that Briggsy really did capture our wedding day organically. We, and our family, could not only remember how we felt at the moment the photos were taken, but to some extent, relive those moments. Tears, laughs, nerves and craziness - he captures it all.

Briggsy ! What an amazing photographer....seriously 1 in a million. You will never find any one like him. Michael or as everyone calls him 'Briggsy' was the life of the party or should I say wedding. He gave both my wife and I the most amazing wedding day experience. Normally wedding photos are so stiff and staged , so unromantic for what should be the most romantic day of your lives. But Briggsy let's you be who you are, nothing was staged, it was romantic and fun and it was exactly how we wanted our wedding. The photos turned out amazing, sitting down with a glass of wine and looking at what Briggsy captured was spot on. I can't describe how amazing Briggsy is at what is his job, his life and his love and I probably don't need to describe it, as you just have to see his photos to know he is 100% focused on delivering the best wedding experience.
