Wedding photographer Brighton, Sussex & Beyond.

& Hi, I’m Michael

a Brighton and Sussex wedding photographer. I specialise in relaxed, candid wedding photography across Brighton, Sussex, and the surrounding areas, capturing real moments as they happen. Whether it’s laughter, tears, or the quiet in-between moments, my goal is to tell your wedding story authentically.

While I’m based in Brighton and Sussex, I travel across the UK and even overseas for weddings.

From countryside barns in Sussex to city venues in London or destination celebrations abroad, I love photographing weddings wherever your story takes place. No matter the location, my approach stays the same: authentic, timeless, and completely you.
Authentic story telling

My wedding photography style can be described as Reportage or Documentary, capturing the story of couples' days documenting moments of laughter, tears and the rollercoaster of emotions captured in a way that’s authentic and real — nothing staged or awkward. Just honest moments.

This doesn’t mean I don’t shoot family group photos or portraits of the bride and groom.
