About

Hi, I’m Michael. I’ve been a freelance photographer for 10 years, specialising in weddings, portraiture, lifestyle and event photography. Based in South London, I live with my wife and children.

These days weddings aren't formal or standardised in the way they used to be.

The service provided by Michael throughout the process was excellent. He took his time to explain what services he could provide and tailored them to meet our needs. He made the process fun and a really enjoyable experience and the end result pictures are fantastic and a real pictorial story of our day. More...

Michael took some great photos for our wedding at Islington Town Hall. We made a last minute decision to have a photographer, and Michael worked quickly and professionally to make arrangements for the day and ensure everything ran smoothly. He suggested beautiful spots at the venue to take photos, and gave us and our families reassurance about the whole process. Thank you so much Michael! More...

Michael was hired to complete some onsite corporate photography. His work was professional, prompt and high quality. Will definitely be hiring him again. Highly recommended!

First Class - Michael was great to work with, and gave a professional service from first contact to the delivering our photos. He was totally clear about what we needed to do in advance, gave us reassurance on what would happen on the day also, which was important as we both had no prior experience. Great photos too. We’re really pleased to have hired him. More...

We hired Michael just a week or so before our wedding on bidvine!!( I know, shows accomdating he was).Michael was a pleasure to deal with, he is very professional, punctual and communcivate. This was very helpful as we didn't have a clue about wedding photography, it was very insightful, helped us plan our times to ensure we got the photos we really wanted as we where having a large wedding of 250. His photograph style wasn't intrusive at all, was a pleasure, the guest enjoyed the experience and so did we even though we aren't picture people.
We have lots of beautiful shots that Michael orschated, so now we have lots of wonderful photo memories. We would definitely recommend Michael's services as it was easy, straightforward and was a pleasure. You won't be disappointed and will have some beautiful photography to look back on!

Absolutely wonderful experience. Of all the people we worked with for the wedding, the most pleasant experience by far was working with Michael on the photography. He was friendly, communicative and had a real passion for what he did. I look forward to using him for my next wedding ;-)
Pro tip: Take Michael's photo booth offer as well as the standard package. It was great fun and resulted in some great pictures.

We thought Michael was an absolute pro from start to finish. Everything was clearly mapped out for us from the beginning, and we had lots of support from Michael whilst also ensuring we got the photos we wanted.

We were really reassured that he had things in hand, and that he knew exactly how we wanted things to run on the day.

The wedding photos are good but the candid ones were the ones that are our favourites. Really spot on. He felt like he was part of the wedding party on the day and the photos reflect that. Top job Michael. We’ll be recommending you to anyone who asks

We’re really pleased we chose Michael as our wedding photographer. He was easy to work with and very accommodating with late changes and additional requests. The photo’s we have just received from him are fabulous, an absolutely outstanding job! He managed to capture everything we asked for and more, including lots of lovely, natural moments throughout the day. All the emotions and reactions are in there. We have a fabulous account of our big day! On the day he was polite, courteous and discreet. If you are looking for a documentary style photographer then I recommend him highly.

We had the pleasure of working with Michael at our wedding, and we are so pleased we commissioned him. He was a real gent to work with and a professional throughout from our first conversation, to meeting up, on the day and continuing through to receiving our pictures. Michael listened to us and understood what we wanted from the outset. He made suggestions on how to make the best of the opportunities across what we had planned for our wedding day. He was a delight on the day also.. Getting along with our guests and never getting in the way. We are now so thrilled with the album & love the natural way he he captured each & every moment.. I’m am literally in tears here right now. The day went so well, and now we have the record of what really happened on our wedding day.. Most of it was a blur to us as it raced past, & we probably had too much red wine to be fair..! Now we have the beautiful pictures to last us a lifetime.. Thanks again Michael!!! More...

I am just going through the wedding album, again, and again… You really have an eye for capturing the spirit and emotion of the day Michael. . All the smiles and happiness are all captured and stitched into the story of our wedding album. We are so thankful that we found your website, we will recommend you to any of our friends. More...

Michael was recommended to us by a friend who was at a wedding he was photographing who liked his approach and pictures, and what a stroke of luck that was! !! He has been a pleasure to work with & was patient with us and professional throughout. He has a very relaxed manner, and I think that put us at ease. We had an engagement shoot also which went really well so we went ahead and booked him for the wedding. The album arrived today and what can i say? I can’t thank you enough. You captured the day in such a magical way. They are better than we could have hoped for, and there are so many moments that we both would have missed. The images are incredible. We cant wait to share them with our family & friends. Thanks a billion

We were absolutely thrilled with our wedding photos. Michael is very professional & made a real effort to understand what we wanted. As a result we got all the photos we were hoping for - some formal shots but also lots of brilliant natural shots which really captured the spirit of the day. He’s got a great eye and is very creative, framing shots beautifully. He also put a lot of effort into editing the photos afterwards & used different effects which meant we had a range fo different ‘looks’. We couldn’t have wished for a better photographer and highly recommend him.

Q&As

Working with two people on one of the most exciting days of their life, alongside a cast of up-for-it wedding guests, is a privilege.. Trust me… It’s a great base for a day job, and I do consider myself lucky to be in this industry.

As with many professionals I was an enthusiast photographer first. I developed my understanding and passion for image making whilst at school, taking qualifications whilst there.. This continued in to my adult life where I continued my education taking City & Guilds qualifications to the highest level.
Across my adult life I worked in creative industries so have been fortunate to have photographed for Newspaper publishers(Daily Mirror), design agencies ( The Grid) and clients (e.g. Clarks Shoes, John Smiths, 888.com, National Express).
I've discovered across my photography career that I prefer working with people on event photography, so wedding photography is the natural home for me now.

I don't remember having ever met a couple saying they are looking forward to being photographed all day on their wedding day. So one of my useful qualities is that I have experience going back years which I think helps me to have a relaxed and informal approach. This in turn puts couples at ease in front of the lens and puts us on the road to a great partnership together to make some beautiful images..

Finally, I do recognise that weddings are expensive so I keep my rates competitive. I think if I offer a great service at a decent rate then this helps all have a positive experience.
