Stirlingshire Wedding Photographer

Scotland's No.1 Ranked WPJA Documentary Photographer 2022 & 2023

"Mike is 100% top of the wedding photography game ... we booked him ... before we had even booked our venue. I didn’t want anyone else to shoot our day!"

Hi, I'm Mike.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by!

 

What floats your boat, photography speaking?

 

If it's the same thing as me, we could be in business.

 

What about a storytelling, candid approach to the day? Where you barely need to pull yourself away from the party for any time at all? And a photographer who'll blend into the background rather than barking orders at you all day? That's my jam!

 

I've won a few awards for this type of thing. But couple's words mean more to me than awards, like the comment at the top from Sara, who is, also, a wedding photographer.

 

There are more "nice words" on this site along with other blurb on how I work, loads of real weddings, pictures and so on.

 

So please have a browse and hey, who knows, we may even meet one day...

A Photographer You Can Trust

 

When it comes to your wedding photography, there's only one chance to get it right. My experience shooting over 500 amazing weddings in all conditions ensures that you can relax and enjoy the day knowing that your photography is in good hands.

Creative Storytelling

 

A wedding day is, essentially, a "story" - a story with many parts, characters and emotions. I'll capture all this in an authentic but creative style and produce pictures that you can look back at and remember exactly how it felt to be there, as well at what it all looked like. The story of your day told in a real, honest, natural fashion.

Group Shots

 

I'll still make time for a few group shots, 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!

Natural Couple Shoots

 

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 you're in good hands with me. Chilled out and natural is the name of the game - no cheesy grinning, no awkward posing, no standing to attention...just be yourselves, have a laugh, and let me add the creative spin.
