It's not really about the photos
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love photography, but what I really love is weddings. I love being around people on one of the happiest days of their lives, hearing your stories and being surrounded by love and laughter. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
HI, i'm Michael!
Let's make this easy.
If you're awkward in front of the camera and have no idea what to do with your hands, you're not alone. That's why I'm here, to make sure you actually enjoy your wedding and forget the camera is even there.
If you're looking for another mate who's just going to have a good time with you, make you feel comfortable and make sure you don't forget any of it... that's me!
I'll help when you need me and blend in with your guests when you don't. Dress need fluffing? I'll fluff it. Need a drink? I'll get you one. Feeling nervous? We'll have a laugh.
We'll get the family photos done after the ceremony, then you can grab a drink and take in the fact you just got married! Need five minutes to yourselves? Just let me know. No one will question it if I've pulled you away for a few photos.
Later on, I'll steal you both away for around 20 minutes for some relaxed portraits (hopefully with some nice golden hour sun). No awkward posing or an endless photoshoot, just a chance for the two of you to catch your breath while I give you some gentle guidance.
The rest of the day is yours! Spend it laughing, hugging your favourite people, watching your pals bring out some questionable dance moves and making memories you'll never forget.
I'll be there capturing all the moments you saw, and plenty you didn't even realise were happening.
By the end of the day, I don't want to feel like your photographer.
I want to feel like another mate who happened to bring a camera.

"All the beautiful photos that Michael has taken have blown us away!
Michael clearly truly has a passion for photography and noticing the natural moments, but also just really seems to love weddings and everything about them! He would be a great addition to anyone’s day and we would recommend him highly"
 
Sound like your kind of wedding?
I honestly just want you to have the best day.
Spend it with your favourite people, have a laugh, have a dance, maybe one too many drinks, and I'll keep all those memories for you.
If that sounds like your kind of wedding, I'd love to hear all about your plans.
