If you have been searching for your wedding photographer you will no doubt have heard phrases bandied such as "unobtrusive", "ninja", "fly on the wall".... You get the idea
Well that's not me !!
My main priority is all about KEEPING IT REAL and to do this I LOVE to get in amongst the magic of your wedding day to tell YOUR story. After a little while guests tend to forget I'm there. They drop their guard and just be themselves. This is what I LOVE and I'll be there capturing all the good stuff for you.
Having me around on your wedding day is an excellent choice. Why ? Well first of all I will feel like a friend, put you at ease and bring what people have described before as "good energy". Also I will go out of my way to give you a gallery of photos that will no doubt bring some happy tears when you look back on your day.

No doubt you will hate the term "couples" portait
don't worry...
As an award winning wedding photographer ( just thought I'd quietly mention that ), I've become a bit of an expert at making these not feel too much like couples portraits.
forget the boring, staged same old, same old
You want a laid back, relaxed & natural feel to your day
Whilst not missing out on some stunning, creative photos for that WOW effect
You don't want to leave your guests & the party
To spend ages posing for photos when you could be eating canapes
You want photos of your guests
Having an absolutely cracking time and NOT posing for endless formal shots
You need a photographer who gets YOU
Hi, I'm Mick. Based in Yarm in the North East but always happy to travel
Not only will I bring my passion and enthusiasm for photographing weddings but my experience and knowledge of what works well and not so well.
This means the little tricks, how to relax those shy in front of the camera, how to capture the shots without getting in the way and how to bag that magical Golden Hour shot.
You do you !!
Your wedding is such a personal occasion. It really is all about you ( and your guests of course). I will never try and force you into a pose that doesn't feel natural. I want you to be relaxed, at ease and BE YOURSELVES. These are the photos I want to capture for you to enjoy.
​
I just love observing and documenting the moments. Moments that represent how awesome your day was. After all, these are the photos that you will have for years to come to remind you and your loved one of your wedding day.
How it works on the day
1
Getting ready
I'll generally arrive around 2 hours before your ceremony which will give plenty of time to capture your getting ready prep. If both parties are getting ready in different locations and you want coverage of both we can chat about arranging a second photographer.

The ceremony
Time to finish your glass of fizz and meet your one and only at the top of the aisle. I will be there waiting to capture all the joy and emotions.

Hey you're married
YES ... you did it. You are officially married. If you are having a confetti tunnel (makes for great moments) we will do this soon after you are married. We will then make our way to your drinks reception which is a time I LOVE as the emotions are high and it always makes for some lovely photos.
​
At some point that suits you both, we will sneak off for a very short time to capture some relaxed photos of just the two of you. This is also a great time to give you guys time to breathe and a few moments together as a married couple.

Party time
So if you opted for a cake cut and first dance we will have covered that and now onto the dancing....and drinking !!
​
I love the energy of dance floor photos and the best place for me to capture these is right there in amongst the fun. For those of you who want even more dance floor coverage I do offer the option to stay later for an small add on charge. Just ask.
