Michael Willatt Photography Full Description

Based in South London Michael is a professional wedding photographer with 11 years of experience photographing more than 100 weddings for happy couples. Michael has seen how wedding photography has evolved over the years, moving away from the stuctured, formal weddings to a more natural, personal approach. So to support those more individual weddings, Michael uses a storytelling or documentary photography style, which captures you and the wedding party in the moment, and captures the scripted - as well as unscripted - moments. So if you are not used to being photographed that's fine, he'll work with you to establish the best way to make the photography both easy & enjoyable. On your wedding day Michael will remain in the background of the festivities for most of the day in order to document all the small details you might otherwise miss. It's your day And you are the client so in accordance with your wishes Michael is happy to capture group photos as well as some intimate couple portraits. His focus is to put you and your guests at ease, as i know this is the best route to creating timeless memories that you will love to look back on, always.

We are so thrilled with the album.

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 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!!!

Michael was amazing - Highly Recommend

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.

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.

Highly recommend

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.

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.

We so love the photos

The reportage style was just what we wanted and the portrait photos of us are really lovely. He has made some wonderful memories of our big day. Not forgetting he’s a joy to work with in the run up, and on the day. Thanks Michael!!

Recommend, Recommend, Recommend!

Michael was such a calming and unobtrusive presence on the day, and made us all at ease, which meant he was able to deliver some truly special photos! He’s got an eye for fun and natural photos but also captured the emotions and intimacy of the important moments of the day, often without us even realising he is there. We'd wholeheartedly recommend.

We would definitely recommend Michael's services

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 photography style wasn't intrusive at all, was a pleasure, as the guests enjoyed the experience and so did we even though we aren't 'picture people'. We have lots of beautiful shots that Michael orchestrated, 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!

What is your most memorable wedding?

Photographing a wedding on the stunning, tiny island of Kizilada off the coast of Turkey. 3 days of gorgeous guests, a gorgeous couple resulted in a set of epic photos from their wedding & party!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Epic, elegant, fabulous, hardworking, thoughtful

What about your business are you most proud of?

My most excellent bike trailer and wheelie case that I sometimes travel to weddings on!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Get your suppliers locked in and give yourself the opportunity to get to know them so you can relax and enjoy your wedding knowing things are being taken care of by professionals.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

Fabulous Multi cultural wedding. With guests gathering before the ceremony in the grounds not knowing where the ceremony would happen. Gujarati drummers appeared and led the guests through a wooded area to a clearing where a makeshift ceremony took place with all the guests circling the couple. More music after the ceremony led guest to the reception in some fabulous teepees. A fabulous set of exciting and original personal touches revealed some thrilling & exciting surprises.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

We should chat over a Zoom or FaceTime call where I'll ask you about your plans and I'll give you some ideas about how I'll photography your wedding. It's important we get along as we'll spend time pre wedding planning things and then a fair bit of time in each others company on the day of your wedding! If we do choose to work together you get my mobile number and email to get in touch whenever you need to ask anything. I'll put together a plan for the photography for the day and we can update this continually up til your wedding. You get a contract so it's all official! We should meet at the venue if possible to scope out some great locations for photos.

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

Everyone is individual so there's not single photo that every couple needs. I'd always recommend a portrait photo of the newlyweds though at some point during the day

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

I have a rainy day guarantee so if it rains on your wedding day I'll reshoot your portrait photos and your partner in your wedding attire on another date after your wedding. That being said it's not all doom and gloom if it rains. I've forum that rain presents some fun photo opportunities so we can still make the most of it on your wedding day also

Describe how you got into photography.

Stories are such an important part of how we relate to our world through our memory and imagination. I can remember my mum reading ‘Ferdinand The Bull’ to me at night as a child. Subsequently I can recall the freedom that reading then brought to me. It gave me the chance to explore infinite new universes through fiction. Perhaps unsurprisingly I discovered that both writing & telling stories can be just as rewarding. At secondary school I first developed my interest in photography; telling the story of my family holiday or school performances (my poor friends) using still images, and then creating a record on the school wall or in an album held such magical storytelling possibilities for me..! So here I am a few (!) years later. I’m fortunate enough to be using my camera to tell peoples’ unique wedding stories, and I love it! I consider myself a very fortunate storyteller
