How We Work

Modern bride and black tie groom during engagement photo session. Paparazzi style

After 9+ years in the wedding industry, I have seen it all. I’m more than just your photographer. I’m a bank of wedding knowledge to be used at your disposal, whether thats supplier recommendations, party ideas or just general nonsense that you want to run by me. Let me guide you through the process so that you and your guests can have the BEST time, without the fear of “I hope my guests are enjoying themselves”. I would prefer to hear “Jesus Christ, that escalated quickly”.

I’m your hype man, the instigator, rule breaker…. all in the name of a good time and even better images. It’s not about faking the fun and turning your day into a photo shoot. It’s about being amongst the action and documenting the fun that’s actually happening.

And yes, I will look after you. Even if that means fixing your dress on location or being the only person in the room who knows how to fit a veil.

Where to start?! Mike was absolutely amazing, he brought so much energy, enthusiasm and expertise to our wedding as our photographer. However by the end of the day he was more like an old friend and my mum even said he felt like part of the family! The pictures are so epic- he really caught the energy and joy of the day I have had so many compliments on them. The photos where the most important part for me and they exceeded all expectations. Thankyou Mike- absolute legend status x
