Testimonials

Discover the impact we've made.

We met with other photographers, but we hit it off straight away. Mike was excellent and willing to help with things like other suppliers, run sheets, and venue items. On the day we felt so comfortable, and our family and friends loved him too. The photos were stunning — and the turnaround time was incredible.
Tim & Casey Wedding · Kauri Bay Boomrock
Choosing the right photographer was our priority — after the day all you have left are the photos and memories. Michael put everyone at ease with his humour and great personality. Not a day goes by that we don't look at our absolutely stunning wedding photos.
Sym & Hanin Wedding · Hedges Estate
The man not only knows how to capture the perfect shot, he is also a top professional. He spent lots of time getting to know us way before the wedding and as a result, captured some amazing moments. Going through the photos months later, we are instantly brought back to each magical moment. Couldn't have asked for a better photographer.
