Questions
What areas do you cover for weddings?
Based in Staffordshire, I cover weddings throughout the UK and internationally. No location is too remote - I've worked from Cornwall to New York and everywhere in between.

Yes, I specialise in hybrid digital/film photography. This combination provides the best of both worlds - immediate digital access with the timeless quality of traditional film negatives.

You'll receive approximately 500+ edited digital images from a full day's coverage, plus all developed film negatives scanned to high-resolution digital files for complete collection.

I always work with an associate photographer to ensure multiple perspectives. This guarantees comprehensive coverage of simultaneous events and diverse compositional angles throughout your day.

I'm experienced in adapting to changing conditions. We'll discuss contingency plans during your consultation, and I carry professional lighting equipment to ensure quality images regardless of weather or lighting challenges.

Michelle captured our wedding, both in fact! Not only is Michelle great at what she does, she is compassionate and understanding - and knew exactly how to support when our wedding was initially postponed and continued to support with every date change. I feel it's really important to express that things don't always go to plan. In the event of things going wrong (clearly outside of anyone's control) Michelle was ever so patient with us, gave us some wonderful advice and was ever so supportive from our first consultation all those years ago, and still is! As for the photographs. WOW. We received

We used Michelle to photograph our wedding and we couldn't be happier. Michelle was professional and easy to get along with. The photographs were edited very well and fast and we couldn't be happier with the results. I would recommend Michelle to anyone who needs professional photography!

Michelle was able to shoot our engagement and wedding photos. She was fantastic from start to finish. The wedding looked even better in the pictures! The set up shots and candid moments were equally lovely. She was very easy to be around and it was a pleasure to have her be a part of our wedding. Could not have asked for more.

Michelle did our wedding and she was amazing great communication plus offering her expert advice. She made us feel so at ease throughout, nothing was to much trouble and she was soo approachable on the day but also blended in (to capture the natural shots) which we love. That was definitely a plus point for us as we wanted to enjoy our day. Would highly recommend Michelle

I had the pleasure of working with Michelle at the Lichfield Proms in the Park. Truly professional and knew exactly where to be and when to get the best shots on the day. Friendly and great to work with.
