What's included in this guide?

It’s the little things most couples don’t think about until they’re in the thick of it. That’s why I pulled together everything I’ve learned behind the camera to help you feel relaxed, look like yourself, and actually enjoy the day.

This guide isn’t about perfection. It’s about focusing on what matters, cutting the stress and setting yourself up for photos you’ll actually want to print.

This is the same prep advice I give clients before every wedding.

LOVE NOTE FROM Ellen + Josh

"We're extremely grateful for how organised he was, not only on the day but in the lead-up helping us plan the logistics and timings when we had no idea what we were doing. He's an easygoing and lovely bloke and was particularly good at getting photos of the kids. He helped ease our nerves and made sure the day ran smoothly and we can't thank him enough."

He helped ease our nerves and made sure the day ran smoothly

LOVE NOTE FROM Brydie + James

"He took time to get to know James and I on a deeper level so that on the day he nailed the type of photos we were after. He made the day so enjoyable and was a sense of calm when times got a little stressful. The photos are absolutely beautiful.
We will be recommending Mike to everyone we can possibly think of.

Thanks Mike, highly recommend!"

An amazing human and an even better photographer

LOVE NOTE FROM Laura + Tom

"From start to finish, he was relaxed, fun, and an absolute joy to have around on our big day. He has an incredible ability to capture moments in a way that feels natural and effortless. During the ceremony, he took stunning shots without us even noticing he was there (in the best way possible!). Our family and friends have not stopped raving about how friendly and great he was - especially when we had a sneak peak few photos to show the day after the wedding!

We can’t recommend Mike enough!"


Mike was absolutely epic!

LOVE NOTE FROM Elisabeth + Jan

"... Also clearly experienced with knowing which range of images to capture and how to set them up perfectly, including guiding you to the best poses in a fun and easygoing way. Mike was so supportive and helpful just in general on the day and his energetic, warm, fun and friendly personality also made us feel super comfortable - which really helped with the photos as well as contributing to the happy celebratory vibe on our special day!

Thanks Mike, highly recommend!"

 He is truly talented and also clearly experienced

You want your wedding to feel like you, not a performance. That’s exactly what I’m here for. No forced smiles. No awkward posing. Just the real stuff: connection, comfort and the kind of moments that hit different when you see them printed years from now.

I focus on the in betweens, the quiet glances, the belly laughs, the hand squeezes and the chaos no one else noticed. My job isn’t to direct your day. It’s to help you remember how it felt.

Wedding photographer. Straight shooter. Big fan of real moments.
