Michael captured our wedding at Bingham Riverhouse, Richmond, in September and was such a delight to work with. He was communicative, flexible when our plans changed, and a lovely presence on the day. A lot of our guests also commented how lovely he was and how he managed to blend into the background. Michaels use of colour and his editing really show off our beautiful flowers and venue, and the reportage style captured the relaxed nature of the day. We cannot recommend Michael enough. Thank you!

Michael photographed our wedding at The Petersham in Richmond. He was absolutely brilliant - spent time with us beforehand, listened to what we wanted, talked through the day to understand how everything was going to flow to work out how best to move around the venue and learned about our kids and closest guests. We wanted reportage / casual shots and Michael captured that style just as we had discussed.
Michael really added to the day, making suggestions that added experiences for us all, as well as adding great photos. His relaxed and understated way of making everyone, including our 4 kids

We couldnt be happier that we chose Michael to be our wedding photographer. He listened to all of our wishes and requests and was always happy to chat through anything on the lead up to our big day which really reassured us. He blended into the background so much so that throughout the ceremony I totally forgot he was there until I saw the beautiful images. He was organised and set up all of the group shots we wanted swiftly without interrupting the order of the day and still allowing us to mingle with guests and have welcome drinks. We were so pleased with his work on the day, and when we

Michael was the best photographer that we could have asked for at our wedding! He captured our day perfectly and we can look back at the photos and reminisce as if it happened yesterday. Each photo was beautifully edited and his style of capturing the natural emotions at the wedding was what we were looking for. The build up to wedding was flawless and made everything run so smoothly! Michael was great fun to work with and we would highly recommend him for his professionalism and attention to detail. Thank you again Michael!!

My wife and I had asked Michael for his services for our civil ceremony in the summer of 2021. I dont know where to begin in saying how great this choice has been. Needless to say, there are many wedding photographers out there, especially in a city like London. Selecting the right person to capture your special day, especially when you cant actually physically meet them during a pandemic, can be a daunting task. We were fortunate enough to have received a list of photographers from our wedding venue which we carefully vetted and consequently reached out to the few we selected. From the first
