Michael's attention to detail and being able to capture those small moments that are normally missed was priceless.

We hired Michael as our wedding photographer on the 9th February 2019. His attitude, personality and approach to our wedding made us feel comfortable and we felt relaxed knowing our wedding picture were in good hands. Michael's attention to detail and being able to capture those small moments that are normally missed was priceless. We wanted a photographer that could blend into the background and take natural, unposed, "real life" pictures. It's earned him the nickname "ninjatographer" between me and my husband. All our friends and family absolutely love the photos he took on the day and they also found him friendly and approachable. We would definitely recommend him to friends and family getting married. Big thanks Michael, Gulsun and Kemal

We struck gold when we found Michael. From our first email enquiry and to making our beautiful photo album, Michael has been the most organised, most polite and most talented photographer we could have chosen. He made us both feel totally at ease in front of the camera - we didn't even know it was there half the time. We've come to feel like he is more of a friend than someone we paid to photograph our wedding so we loved having him with us and he played such a huge role in making it our 'best day ever'. Not only is Michael lovely to have around but his photos are just beautiful - although this did make for a very tricky time deciding which ones to print and have in our album! We also had a videographer who Michael had never met until our wedding day and he worked alongside her so professionally - lots of our guests thought they were business partners as they worked so well together! In all, Michael is patient, professional, friendly, super organised and an all round lovely guy. If you're after candid photographs to document your perfect day then Michael is 100% your man. We can't recommend him enough and we look forward to seeing him again when he photographs my sister's wedding in the not too distant future - we hope ;-)

We knew from seeing his work that he'd capture our day perfectly; what we couldn't have anticipated, though, was his attention to detail, his responsiveness, and his level of care.

Michael did an incredible job photographing our wedding at the Barbican. We knew from seeing his work that he'd capture our day perfectly; what we couldn't have anticipated, though, was his attention to detail, his responsiveness, and his level of care. We couldn't recommend him highly enough!

. He captures everything so beautifully, and even managed to send us over a few extras that we asked for because we just couldn't get enough. He has truly left us wishing that we could do it all over again!!

Aside from being an obviously brilliant photographer and so professional from start to finish, Michael is also such a lovely person to work with, it was just like having a friend with us at our wedding. We were lost for words at his ability to capture every single emotion and happy moment on our day while being completely unobtrusive and blending in with our guests. We fell in love with his documentary style photography from the moment we saw his work and instantly knew he was the one for us. Every photo is so natural and taken at just the right moment! Although we can normally feel a little awkward having our picture taken, he allowed us to feel so relaxed which meant we really got to take everything in and enjoy our day to the fullest. He had our album ready for us to view less than a week later which was just incredible timing and we still feel like we can relive our special day now whenever we look through them. He captures everything so beautifully, and even managed to send us over a few extras that we asked for because we just couldn't get enough. He has truly left us wishing that we could do it all over again!! Thank you so much Michael!

Almost everyone says that getting married is the best day of their lives and Michael has definitely made sure we and our friends won't forget the fun that was had.

We both didn't want to spend our day posing for hours and having a load planned group shots and found it very hard to find a photographer that had the reportage style we liked and Post production style too. My wife found Michaels website and although he had some great examples of group shots his style stood out. We met him twice to run through what we wanted and he tailored it to suit. A very happy and smiley person that dressed for the occasion merging into our groups of friends and family taking photos without anyone knowing. To get those photos come through with all the moments we loved and those we missed too of people having fun, laughing, drinking, drinking some more, and then of course dancing was a joy. Almost everyone says that getting married is the best day of their lives and Michael has definitely made sure we and our friends won't forget the fun that was had.

And now, just two weeks later, he has sent over the most breath-taking, eye-welling, giggle-inducing, magical photographs of the happiest weekend of our lives. We haven't been able to stop scrolling through the images he sent us and laughing, crying, and aw-ing in turn.

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. Leading up to the event he made sure to keep in touch, if only to say hello and express his growing excitement. During the wedding, he blended in so well that we felt his energy but didn't even notice the camera (or him too much, as he can somehow be everywhere at once). And now, just two weeks later, he has sent over the most breath-taking, eye-welling, giggle-inducing, magical photographs of the happiest weekend of our lives. We haven't been able to stop scrolling through the images he sent us and laughing, crying, and aw-ing in turn. Michael is an exceptional photographer, with an incredible ability to capture truly candid moments, these expressions and emotions that would otherwise flicker by and... well, his work speaks for itself. But as for him? Michael exemplifies the great distinction between service and hospitality. Service is fine: transactional, detached, and straight to the point. Hospitality goes beyond that: it is about giving, intimacy, and all in the details. Hospitality is an act of love. Michael's manner and work speak more to those virtues that than any vendor we could have dreamed of. Throughout this process, he has become closer to friend and family. We could not be more fortunate to have had him as such an important part of the goofiest, funnest, most perfect day ever. Thanks, Michael! We love ya. xoxo, gabi & raúl

If you are lucky enough to bump into Michael's work in this massive internet world then don't think twice - you can stop looking now.

If you are lucky enough to bump into Michael's work in this massive internet world then don't think twice - you can stop looking now. Go have a coffee with him, just for an informal talk and you will see it for yourself. I couldn't recommend him enough to be the photographer of your big day. He has his own style, with beautiful striking images. As a photographer myself I can say that wedding photography is so challenging because so many key moments happens so fast, but he was always there to get everything. And not just his images are awesome, Michael himself is such a nice person, you will love having him around. Our wedding was in Germany and he was up for travelling there and even stayed with us for 3 days - both our families loved him, specially because he could communicate with everyone so well (speaking german, spanish and english!). Honestly, thank you so much Michael! You rock!

Michael was amazing! If you are looking for a photographer to capture every special moment of your day, look no further!. The photographs were beyond our expectations, it was wonderful looking at them all and remembering the day :-) Michael was unobtrusive yet still managed to catch every moment. He even joined in with a game of Doh Nutters!

Both his candid and 'posed' shots were so much more than we could have ever hoped for. We cant stop looking at the photos.

From the first time we met with Michael, we knew we had made the right decision in picking him as our wedding photographer all those months away. He took genuine interest in how our planning was going and what we were going to be doing throughout the day. We met with him twice before the big day and both times we knew we would be in safe hands when the time came. On the day you could see Michael snapping all moments that everyone else would have missed and made us and everyone else feel at ease in front of the camera. Both his candid and 'posed' shots were so much more than we could have ever hoped for. We cant stop looking at the photos. He captured all the feelings, emotions and expressions throughout the day and we couldnt have asked for better photos to remember such a special day. We never expected them to arrive so soon either! All our guests both on the day and in the following days have said how amazing Michael was as a photographer, how he joined in with us on the day and how nice he was. We would 1000 times over recommend Michael to anyone looking for a documentary style wedding photographer. Thank you so much. Oriana and Michael

We loved working with Michael; not only is he incredibly talented, he is really friendly, genuine and personable.

Michael was our photographer for our wedding earlier this month at Narborough Hall Gardens in Norfolk. We had a Christian and Hindu wedding ceremony followed by a reception. We loved working with Michael; not only is he incredibly talented, he is really friendly, genuine and personable. We felt that along the process he got to know us as a couple, and showed a lot of interest in our day. He has captured the wedding beautifully in his shots. We would highly recommend him for wedding photography, and will be no doubt contacting him to photograph more memories in the future. Anish & Cat x
