” What can I say? I contacted Mick with some concerns, requirements and what some may think of as silly questions, This guy ticked all my boxes and said have a look through my pics, if you like what you see you can make a booking, I booked there and then, I wasn’t letting this guy out of my sights!! We changed the ceremony time, “No problem” week before the event ” Hi just a quick video call to see what you want how and when”

Faultless!! On the day this guy has rocked up before me and walks the venue, introduces himself and I’m impressed already! Wow whirl wind of photos later, his banter and humour just work and his photography astounds me!

Just received my link to an abundance of amazing shots, captures & treasured memories. Mick, well done and thank you for every second! Superb…… Thank you so much, we haven’t even packed for honeymoon yet 5 days after the event and I have our photos!!! “

Here are some frequently asked questions, some not so frequent but questions all the same! If you can think of anymore please feel free to contact me.

  • How many weddings have I photographed? I have photographed over 200 weddings, on my way to 300.
  • Am I insured? Yes, I have public liability and professional indemnity insurance in place.
  • Do I cover weddings outside Cheshire, Manchester and Merseyside? Yes I do, but locations further afield may include an extra charge for travel and possibly overnight stays.
  • Do I just photograph weddings? Currently, my work is predominately wedding photography. In the past and to some extent, the present, I have photographed gigs, corporate events, school events, people ( portraits ) etc.
  • Do I wear a suit and/or a cravat? Quick answer is no! Not my style, I’m knocking it but it really isn’t me.
  • How long before you receive your photos? Your gallery is usually ready for you within 4 to 6 weeks after your wedding date. Your images will be in high resolution jpeg format, RAW files are not provided. 
  • Do I use flash or natural light? I use a combination of available light, on and off camera flash.
  • What equipment do I use? I use Nikon dslr full frame camera bodies coupled with Nikon and Sigma Art lenses.
  • Do you have to feed me? No, I usually bring my own food with me so there is no pressure to provide me with a meal.
  • Do I provide pre wedding consultations and pre wedding photo shoots? Yes, I provide both. Meetings are held in person or by video call, whatever suits you. Pre wedding shoots are offered but they do depend on location and time scale. All of this will be discussed at the point of enquiry.
  • Do I provide a contract? Yes, of course I do.

 

Looking for stunning wedding photography at a price you can love? I understand! Your wedding is one of life’s most precious moments, and capturing it beautifully shouldn’t break the bank. That’s why I offer affordable wedding photography packages designed to fit your unique needs and budget.

Love is Love, Captured in Every Frame.
Your All-Inclusive, affordable Wedding Photographer in cheshire

Your wedding day is a celebration of love, a tapestry woven with joy, laughter, and the promise of forever. It’s a canvas deserving of every vibrant hue, every whispered secret, every tear of pure happiness. And as your wedding photographer, I believe every thread of that tapestry, regardless of color or pattern, deserves to be captured with artistry and respect.

I stand proudly as an all-inclusive photographer, embracing the kaleidoscope of love in all its beautiful forms. Whether your union is a traditional ceremony or a joyous explosion of individuality, I’m here to tell your story with authenticity and empathy. My lens reflects the radiant spectrum of human connection, capturing the magic of LGBTQ+ weddings with the same tender touch I bring to any couple’s special day.

For me, photography transcends trends and expectations. It’s about capturing the essence of your love, the way your eyes light up when they meet, the unspoken promises exchanged in a touch. Your wedding isn’t just a ceremony; it’s a symphony of emotions, and I’m here to conduct the visual orchestra, ensuring every precious note is preserved with artistry and grace.

So let your love story unfold in all its vibrant glory. Let your laughter echo through sun-drenched meadows or dance under disco balls. I’m here to capture the kaleidoscope of your joy, the whispered promises, the tears of pure bliss. Because love is love, and on your wedding day, every colour deserves to shine.

” What can we say about Mick, he was not only a true professional but also an absolute gentleman too! He interacted with our guests and took fantastic shots all day. The pictures are stunning and we couldn’t be happier with the service he provided us. Thanks again Mick, we’ve done nothing but smile at our photos since the day we got them. All our love Georgie and Joe “

Wedding Photography Prices:
More Than Just a Click

Wedding photography captures joy, emotion, and fleeting moments that become cherished memories. But alongside the beauty comes a practical question: how much does it cost? Unfortunately, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Wedding photographer prices aren’t objective, they’re a dance between your budget, your requirements, and individual affordability.

Budget acts as the stage. Sure, everyone dreams of a celebrity photographer, but a realistic assessment of what you can comfortably afford is crucial. Remember, wedding photography is just one piece of the puzzle.

Requirements are the spotlights. How many hours of coverage do you need? Do you desire engagement or second shooter photos? Do you want physical prints or albums? Each addition influences the price.

Affordability is the personal soundtrack. What’s comfortable for one couple might be a stretch for another. Consider prioritising photography within your overall budget, exploring payment plans, or discussing options with photographers who might be flexible.

Remember, the value of wedding photography goes beyond the price tag. Invest in someone whose style resonates, whose experience inspires confidence, and whose professionalism ensures smooth sailing.

Ultimately, the “right” price is the one that aligns with your budget, vision, and comfort level. Communicate openly with photographers, prioritise what matters most, and capture the magic of your day without breaking the bank.

What Happens Next?

The first step on your relaxed wedding photography journey with me begins

here.

  • Decide on the wedding photography option that is suitable for your requirements. We will discuss your plans together with you and agree on the ideal wedding photography package for you including any additional extras you may want.
  • Pay the deposit to secure your booking. Deposits are non-refundable and will be deducted from the final balance which is due 1 month before your wedding date. For full terms and conditions please visit T’s&C’s
  • A contract will be drawn up and emailed to you for your approval.
  • We will arrange an initial consultation or video call with you.
  • Arrangements will be made for further pre wedding consultations and pre and / or post wedding photography sessions ( if applicable to your booking ).
  • You can continue planning your wedding day knowing that you have just booked your wedding photographer.

The pre wedding consultations and photography sessions are important because they give the photographer a chance to get to know you and your partner better and understand what kind of photos you’re looking for. It also gives you an opportunity to discuss any special requests you might have and to make sure that your expectations are clear.

This ensures that your special day is captured perfectly, creating timeless memories that will last a lifetime.

From Black Country Grit to Cheshire Charm: Meet Your Wedding Photographer!

Ever wondered who’s behind the lens, wielding the magic that captures your precious moments? Well, hold onto your hats, because I’m about to take you on a whirlwind tour of my life, where Black Country spirit meets Cheshire charm with a dash of photography magic!

Born and bred in the legendary Brierley Hill, I swapped the clang of steel mills for the Mersey’s gentle murmur when I landed in Runcorn. Photography has been my jam since I was knee-high to a grasshopper (yes, back in the days when dinosaurs roamed the earth and photos weren’t beamed by magic!). My first film developed at 11? That’s dedication, folks!

Fast forward to 2012, and I snagged my first event gig. A couple of years later, I took the plunge and went full-time pro. No wedding bells yet, though! I honed my skills on commercial shoots, event snaps, and the occasional family portrait (think: chaotic charm, endless smiles, and maybe a few tears – all part of the job!).

Finally, in 2014, I said “I do” to the world of weddings. Fancy training polished my skills, and in 2015, I unleashed my shutterbug fury on the unsuspecting public (don’t worry, it’s all love stories and happy tears!).

But when I’m not wrangling cameras and capturing your special moments, you’ll find me in one of these places:

  • Throwing punches (or teaching others to!) as a qualified England Boxing coach ( Runcorn ABC ).
  • Lacing up my boots for a good walk or a spot of glamping. Fresh air and nature, my friends!
  • Belting out “Come on you Baggies!” at the match. Yes, I’m a West Brom fan, and proudly so!

So there you have it! Photographer, boxing coach, walker, camper, football fanatic – I’m a quirky mix, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Buckle up, it’s going to be a wild ride filled with smiles, laughter, and maybe a few unexpected adventures!

P.S. Looking for someone to capture your special day with a smile and a cheeky wink? Hit me up! It’ll be more fun than a barrel of monkeys (and infinitely less messy!), and just a tad less crazy than a box of frogs (but hey, who doesn’t love a little bit of crazy?). Let’s create some memories that will make you grin from ear to ear!

Your Dream Day Deserves Real Stories.
