Exceptional service, perfect pictures

Service

An exceptional experience. From the outset Michael and Kathy impressed us with the lengths they went to to understand what we wanted from our wedding photography, with Michaels detail and Kathy’s creativity the partnership could not have been more suitable for our wedding photos. From the initial conversation to the final collection of all three albums we were pleasantly surprised with the extra mile that they went to to provide us with the most personal and suited style of photography for our wedding. They were helpful, knowledgeable and their communication was second to none, if they didn’t think an idea would work they would find an alternative (that was always better!). We cannot express how thrilled we were with the organisation of the day, every photo plus more were accounted for. And no detail was missed. The knowledge of Michael was outstanding giving us every inch of detail and rationale behind the best equipment that they use, even to researching weeks in advance what the weather predications may be like on our wedding day! The final albums were turned around in a super timely manner and again impeccable detail and care was put into every single touch. We would recommend Michael and Kathy for exceptional service - for any type of wedding you choose, if you have a vision they will make it happen!

Perfect photos, friendly and approachable

Michael and Kathy did a brilliant job of capturing our wedding! From the first meeting, my wife and I were impressed about how friendly and approachable they were compared with others we had met. They had experience with our venue before, and had some interesting ideas for nearby locations for some nice romantic shots! Michael and Kathy are clearly perfectionists and are passionate about what they do, and it shows in the end results. The albums they offer are fantastic. Many people who see our album comment on how they have never seen anything so nice before. M & K are good, honest people who go the extra mile to make sure you are totally happy with everything, and I can highly recommend them!

We're absolutely in love with our photos and can't thank Michael and Kathy enough! Haven't stopped looking through them! They were both great yet unintrusive on the day and managed to capture every moment perfectly. Who knew we could find such a great photographer tucked away in our little town.

Michael and Cathy provided a first class service from start to finish, helping us capture our wedding day celebrations. From the in depth initial meeting to discus the photos we wanted to sending us the discs with the hundreds of photos on; we have been thoroughly pleased. Our photos are excellent, Michael was unobtrusive and professional and Cathy was marvellous at organising all our relatives! We would highly recommend Michael to friends. Thank you

Best wedding album ever!

We have just received our digital album and it is absolutely amazing. It is the best memory from our wedding day we could have hoped for. We were so impressed with Michael and Kathys professionalism, attention to detail, and personal pride they took in our photos. Most importantly Michaels technical skill is fantastic and is reflected in the perfect colour, composition and detail of our photos. Thank you both very much for giving us such a wonderful memory of our day. I would (and have) highly recommend you to friends.

Well, what can we say!! We were 'blown away' by the photographs of our wedding and you have done a superb and totally professional job. We really like the mix of formal and non formal photos and the colours and quality are superb aided by the wonderful settings at Wokefield. From the first time we came to see you to discuss our wedding, you have really made us feel welcome and at ease, and I would particularly like to thank Kathy for helping us out with the button holes etc on the day and for her valued contribution to the process. We had a truly memorable day at Wokefield, and all our family and friends present at the wedding thoroughly enjoyed sharing the occasion with us. Seeing all the wonderful photographs you have produced will provide us with a wonderful and long lasting memory of the occasion. Thank you both again so much and I wish you both every success for the future of your business. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending your services to anyone looking for a top quality photographer with a totally approachable and friendly nature.

Thank you so much!!

WOW!!! Thank you, very much!!! Peter and I have just looked through the photos – you have done us proud. To capture the day as you have done is absolutely fantastic! There have been a few where we have fallen into fits of giggles!!! Pete particularly likes the single one of me lying on the stairs and the ones of his brothers and best man running. I love the one in the church with Fr. B giggling at the altar. There are so many, we will need to keep looking through them to take them all in! We are very pleased with the results. A very warm thank you once again! We will be in touch once we are back from our honeymoon.

Great photos

Michael and kathy did a fantastic job for our wedding. From first meeting to finally handing over our beautiful wedding album they were professional, friendly and above all patient. The pictures that Michael took are technically perfect and both he and Kathy have a meticulous eye for detail meaning the shots they got are really first class. We had seen a few photographers before we chose Michael and Kathy and none of them seemed to have portfolio that were as bright or sharp as Michael's photos. Highly recommended.

A professional team

Value

With Michael's technical knowledge and Kathy's artistic eye, this professional team listened to what we wanted and gave us a good balance of reportage and formal shots. After receiving the proofs as soon as we returned from honeymoon we had plenty of time to decide which to put into our album. We were particularly pleased with the contempory look of the album and how non-intrusive the camera was on the day.

Very Highly Recommended

Thanks to Michael and Kathy we have a fantastic set of formal and informal shots of our wedding. They prepared well in advance of the day, ensuring they understood our needs and how we wanted the photography to work. This put us at ease such that on the day we could just enjoy ourselves knowing that the photos were taken care of. All our guests commented on how well done the photos were - to us and our guests they "just seemed to happen" - this is down to all the hard work Michael and Kathy put in to make sure this hugely important part of the day ran smoothly.

Very efficient, thorough and professional service by Michael and Kathy. The day went as planned, the photos were ready once back from honeymoon and reprints just as quick. All in all highly recommendable.

Professional and friendly

This sums up very well Michael and his wife's approach to all aspects of wedding photography, prior to, during and after a wedding. From the first meeting we felt that they were very approachable, ready to discuss everything we wanted. On the wedding day itself, they were efficient, friendly, good-humoured and patient, whilst remaining professional the whole time. We are very pleased with the quality of the photographs and the variety of formal and informal pictures. It made it very difficult for us to choose a shortlist for our album!

Michael Whiston did our wedding photos last Aug on a very challenging day for a photographer....brilliant sunshine and heavy rain ! We were very pleased with the results, as he was aswell, as he asked to feature many of them on his website. Michael is something of a perfectionist and it has paid off with a stunning set of pics. It can seem like a pain in the neck posing for them at times when you just want to chat and have a deserved drink but when the dust has faded a great set of photo's is absolutely priceless and a cause for much joy. One thing we particularly liked was their friendliness and organisation beforehand, we really got to know Michael and his partner in a couple of meetings and the day flowed very smoothly as a result. The other aspect we really liked was Michael's eye for the unposed shot, we asked for and got, a minimum of posed 'traditional' shots and he caught some absolutely fantastic situations just through his eye for a shot. Overall, we personally liked Michael and his partner (which makes things a lot easier!) and we are very happy with the quality and style of his work. Highly reccommended !
