Nice Words
"Mike was incredible at our wedding, chatty, made us feel at ease and honestly didn’t notice he was there most of the time!
Every single photo that we got back has been absolutely perfect and exceeded any expectations we both had.
He is ridiculously talented and we are very lucky that we had him capturing our big day!"
Vicky & Gemma, Married at Cornhill Castle, October 2023
"We booked Mike before corona and he was flexible and helpful with every date move and change of venue. When we finally got married in Dec 2022 Mike was fantastic, so relaxed and we were hardly aware of his presence. The photos were a fantastic mix of the formal & informal. Of course we liked the usual group shots but the natural ‘caught in the moment’ shots were the whole reason we choose Mike and he didn’t disappoint.
His patience while we took nearly 6 months to choose the photos for the album was so greatly appreciated. The real cherry on top was the absolutely stunning wedding album that was included in our package. I was expecting a simple album but this is a work of art with personalised box and engraved suede cover🤩"

"If you've still to choose your wedding photographer, look no further than Mike. Mike is a fantastic photographer, who has expertly honed his ninja photographer skills. You'll receive your photos from the day and wonder how he managed it, as you never even knew he was there. Mike's style is well suited to achieving candid shots of your day, which helps to capture the atmosphere of your day. For the more posed family photographs that we got, Mike has an amazing ability to make you feel relaxed and less formal.
I honestly can't rave about Mike enough. Amazing photographer and all round great guy that you shouldn't hesitate to book."

"Mike has been fantastic to work with. He shot a friends wedding a few years back and the results were amazing. We loved his candid documentary style approach to the wedding day. So when it came to looking at a photographer for our own wedding day we didn’t have far to look.
Mike has been incredibly easy to work with. He‘s always been quick to reply to E-mails, always happy to answer questions before and after the day. He kept us updated along the way.
On the day he was a great asset. Chatty and friendly, great at guiding people into shots and relaxed poses but he was also fantastic at milling in with guests and capturing many great candid moments without you realising he was there.
We’ve been delighted with the quality of photos and with the photos themselves. Highly recommended!"
Lucy & Mark, Married at Borthwick Castle, April 2022
"We had another photographer booked for our wedding, but as soon as we saw Mike’s style, we were blown away & immediately booked him! We had to move our date 3 times, but always made sure Mike was free first.
On the day, his style suited us to a T, very candid and natural shots worked so well as neither of us enjoys posing for photos. Having said this, he was aware of all of the posed shots we were looking for also.
Would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing, very professional photographer. I’ve never seen a photo album like ours - it’s absolutely beautiful.
Thanks Mike!"

"We couldn’t be happier with our wedding photography by Mike. He is such an amicable, polite person, nothing is an issue. Even when we asked for his help getting canvases created months after the wedding it was no problem.
Our pictures told the fairy tail story of our wedding day from start to finish and he caught all the emotions of the day with his ninja approach. Didn’t even realise he was there half the time. We are sure he seemed to clone himself as he was in two different places at the same time. Capturing multiple amazing images at different locations. It was so special for us to see what was happening on the other side.
We will be recommending Mike at every opportunity and I’m sure anyone who sees our pictures will too."
Angela & Craig, Married at Glenskirlie Castle, June 2022
"Well what can I say … Mike is 100% top of the wedding photography game. As soon as we were starting our wedding planning I booked him …. before we had even booked our venue. I didn’t want anyone else to shoot our day.
The service received is second to none. He has captured our day exactly how I wanted it. You can literally feel the atmosphere looking at the pictures. It’s like you’re there, living it again.
Thanks so much again Mike!
You really are the best!"
Sara & Barry, Married at Glenskirlie Castle, July 2022
"Mike photographed our wedding in September 2021, we couldn’t recommend him enough. From the initial contact with booking his service right up until now has been amazing.
We have also just received our wedding album and wow! It is stunning quality and everyone we have showed has commented on how lovely the photos and album are.
I love Mike's style of photography, that’s what drew us to him in the first place, to then see our own day brought to life in
the photos is fab!!
Thanks again Mike!!"
Collette & Gary, Married at Dalziel Park, September 2021
"There was absolutely no doubt in my mind who I was booking for our wedding photography. Mike was the guy. As soon as I came across his work on Facebook I booked him up.
He was fantastic to deal with on the run up, super organised on the day and not to mention just a lovely all round guy. He was patient on the day, darting around our venue capturing precious moments without most of us noticing and thankfully didnt have us holding any awkward lovey dovey poses!
Our photos are exactly everything we hoped they would be. Memories that will last a life time.
Thanks Mike for your fab work."
