Photos by Michael Hi, I'm Michael! A photographer based in Derbyshire. I specialise in Portraits, Weddings and other events with a modern and natural style.

I aim to be unobtrusive so you can relax and forget I am there to help capture real and genuine moments.

Ceremony 📸

Arguably the most important part of the day. (I mean it is the legal bit which actually makes you a married couple).

I love capturing ceremonies. I proper feel the emotion when the music starts, the bridesmaids start walking down, then the big reveal of the bride to everyone and her groom. All that planning, months of waiting, leads right to this moment. ❤️

Sticking with the golden hour theme ✨️

Saturday was an absolute joy, capturing Meg and Scott's big day. A proper family celebration filled with loads of laughter and emotion.

It's ones like this when you think, damn I love this job ❤️

Sunset golden hour vibes with A&R ✨️

Throwback to this beautiful evening a few months back. (Thank you Alanis 🦋✨ for reminding me to post this stunning bridal shot to the grid 😂👌🏻). "Golden hour" is what we camera peeps call the time of day where the light is soft, warm and golden, usually the hour before sunrise or sunset. So don't be shocked if I suddenly grab you and run outside for some shots like these 🤩

Deffo umbrella weather today 🌧

Bit of rain forecast on your wedding day? No bother. I am always prepared for any weather eventualities, (minus tornados and hurricanes).

Obviously the preference is nice warm sunshine, but I love rain shots, and think they always make a cool addition to a gallery 👌🏻

Saturday night who's out? 🕺🍻

Looking back over these shots from Charlotte and Shauns banging dancefloor makes me want to hit the town. However I will be spending my evening in my dressing gown reading bed time stories before eating a whole bar of Dairy Milk with a film 🙃

Happy Saturday!

A little bit of news!

I am indeed attending my first wedding fair next week. Absolutely buzzing, and cant wait to meet lots of happy couples and chat about their wedding plans.

Pop on down and have a good natter, or just come and have a nose. Hope to see you there 😁👍🏻

Golden hour sunset vibes ✨️🌅

Throwback to Gem and Dan's day last summer, where we were treated to this wonderously warm golden hour.

Hoping for a bunch more of these this year.

P.S - Has a song ever fitted an Instagram post as well as this one? Bang on the money 🤙🏻😎
