About us
WHAT DO YOU WANT
your wedding to be all about? Think about that for a moment. Go on, I'll wait...
What I’m interested in is the people, you, your partner, your family and friends. I’m interested in relationships and human interaction. As far as I’m concerned the role of a wedding photographer on the day is to make a record of the people and the event and that’s what I set out to do without any of the other stuff that makes the pictures look like all the other wedding pictures you’ve ever seen. No smoke bombs unless you’re getting married on a battlefield, no frocks in trees unless you always store your clothes in a hedge, none of that tedious wedding cheese. I set out to make pictures of your people being people.They’ve come together all in one place on that day to be with you and celebrate your wedding.
My job is to become immersed in the stream of that day and lift moments out of it. Your job is to forget about me and enjoy the day, nothing else.

Angela T. asked:Photographer for our wedding.... We want a creative, artistic photographer who isn't afraid to make photos look dark, sexy, use filters, photoshop and make the pictures look like they're out of some arty photoshoot. Both my partner and I are creative/artistic and we want someone to share our vision. Obviously the obligatory family shots will need to be done tooMike R. replied:I cant decide if I fit your description or not :) Some of its dark and sexy some of it isnt :) I approach a wedding in a particular way. Its not for everyone but for those people it fits nothing else will do. Regardless I love that you say that you "want someone to share our vision" That to me is exactly what choosing a wedding photographer is about. Sharing a vision of what the day is about. IF you fancy a look at my stuff its here. www.michaelrileyphotography.com good luck! :)
