Becca + Rory

Another epic wedding. Another pair of legends captured.

These two were so much fun to work with and it was great being back at Bassmead Manor Barns again for such an incredible day!

Can’t wait to share more of this wedding 😍🎃

45 seconds. That’s all we got. 🥹🌅

No word of a lie, we had about 45 seconds of golden light pouring through the trees, and somehow, we managed to catch this absolute beauty.

What you don’t see? The bride had literally fallen down a hole on the way to this spot and sprained her ankle. 😅

But did she give up? Absolutely not. 💪

Luckily, she was wearing Crocs, because apparently, even a wedding day needs its own health and safety department. 😂

And this is exactly why I LOVE what I do. You can’t control the light, the weather, or the unexpected wedding-day disasters, but you can be ready when those little moments of magic happen. 45 seconds, one brave bride, and a whole lot of heart. This is your reminder that sometimes, the most incredible photos come from the most chaotic moments. 🤙🏻

A secret weapon for your dress details!

When you are limited for space inside and nowhere to show off your stunning dress, then this is where the handy little suction hook comes in and lets us get creative!

Beautiful Chaos at Sunset!

When you have an epic bunch of friends with you, no one wants boring photos. From Smoke flares, water fights and throwing each other in the air mixed with an epic location… Ericka and Sam got an album filled with the best memories to look back on!

👋 RIGHT, LET’S GET PERSONAL.

For those who don’t know me, I’m Mike. The face behind Michael Calders Photography. 📸

I’m a coffee-fuelled, music-loving, slightly tattooed wedding photographer who believes your wedding should be about getting married, not performing for a camera.

I’m here for the belly laughs, the happy tears, the questionable dance moves, the beautiful chaos and all the little moments you didn’t even realise were happening.

No awkward posing for hours. No pressure. No turning your wedding into a photoshoot.

Your wedding deserves better than a day spent saying “cheese”. 🤘

MAIN CHARACTER ENERGY ONLY. 🎬🤘

You’re the main characters of your own story. I’m just here to capture the beautiful chaos as it unfolds.

I’m not just there to take your photos, either. I’m in your corner, helping things run smoothly, calming the nerves, fixing the little problems and making sure you can actually enjoy the day you’ve spent so long planning.

Now, let’s get to know each other…

Tell me ONE embarrassing fact about yourself that I’d never guess just by looking at you. 👇😂

I’ll go first…

I once accidentally spooned a MASSIVE pile of p**p in Africa while serving in the Infantry.

To this day, I’m still hoping it wasn’t human. 💀😭

Your turn… I want to hear some absolute shockers! 👇
