Mike Cook Photography : Falkirk Wedding Photographer

FALKIRK WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

CHILLED OUT WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY!

Hello good people, thanks for stopping by. I'm Mike, a Falkirk based wedding photographer and I've been shooting weddings now for 15 years; over 500 weddings in total ... so you know you're in good hands!

As the title suggests, I work in a chilled out, non-shouty, almost invisible, laid back style.

You can just enjoy the day and leave me to catch all the good stuff!

I capture real moments, real emotions, pretty much real everything ... with just a sprinkling of time set aside for some couple & group shots.

Don't take my word for it though ... check out what other couples had to say.

Sounds good?

SCOTLAND'S TOP RANKED WPJA PHOTOGRAPHER

Yes guys, it's true. I'm very honoured to be a member of the Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA) and, for the last three years, have been ranked by them No.1 in Scotland, for which I am truly grateful.

And last year, in their Artistic Guild category, I was blown away to make it into the World Top Ten!

Thank you guys!

IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU, NOT ME.

Your wedding day is just that, a "wedding day", not a photo shoot ... or so I believe anyway.

I'm a "hands-off" kind of guy, "ninja like" I've been told by some. I'm not invisible, but I'm not in your face ordering you around all day either.

"Hiding in plain site" I like to call it!

Because the day is about you guys, not me.

JUST BE YOU!

Whether you like to party like there's no tomorrow, prefer the quieter side of life, or fall somewhere in between, I want your pictures to reflect YOU.

I'll never ask you to do anything that's outside of your comfort zone and awkward as hell.

My chilled out vibe allows you to JUST BE YOU ... whatever that may be!

A Photographer You Can Trust?

Absolutely! I've been around a while now, shooting over 500 weddings across 15 years in all conditions - we do live in Scotland after all. Pouring rain, snow, dark churches, drunk guests, trashed wedding cakes (true story) etc etc - yep, I've pretty much seen it all ... and dealt with it all - you're in good hands guys!

These days, I only shoot around 25 weddings a year, so you can be assured that I'll be giving each and every wedding maximum focus both on the day itself and afterwards too working on your pictures and albums.

Couple Shoots

Although I do generally take a more hands-off approach, on what can often be a hectic day, some "couple time" pictures away from the crowd can be a good thing. I recognise that, for a lot of couples, this can be a little daunting ... but fear not. Chilled out and natural is how we go - no cheesy grinning, no awkward stiff posing ... just be yourselves and let me add the creative spin.

Fifteen minutes usually does it but hey, if you had a great time we can always go again after dinner for a short evening shoot where we can get extra creative!

Group Shots

Of course, I'll still make time for a few group shots as well, but the emphasis is very much on "short & sweet", as I don't think I've ever seen a couple enjoy ploughing through a list of shots as long as your arm. Oh, we'll have a bit of fun doing them as well!

Connection rather than perfection is the name of the game.
