“Michael has a great talent for capturing the emotion of the day. All the photos we absolutely love, the candid photos and portrait photos are amazing.

I would highly recommend Weddings by Michael. Thank you Michael, for helping to make our day so very special.”

Diana McNamee

“Michael and Helen captured all the special moments from our day, and the resulting photographs are beautiful.”

Demi Kinder

“Michael and Helen did such an incredible job for our wedding. We both felt so at ease all day, so much so that we didn’t even notice a lot of the photos were being taken and had some lovely surprises when looking through our final photographs.”

This is right for you if:

  • You want natural, unposed photography

  • You care more about moments than trends

  • You value experience and calm guidance

This probably isn’t right if:

  • Price is your main deciding factor

  • You want heavy posing or constant direction

  • You’re comparing purely on package size
