If I have a free Sunday I would spend it …
Having a great meal with friends by pool or if it's wet outside going to the cinema.
My most memorable travel experience was …
Walking around the Acropolis of Athens in the early morning without anyone else there. It was one of the first things I wanted to do when arriving in Europe.
What I love most about my job is …
What I love most about my job is… I get to be a part of people’s special day. Being invited into these moments and having the trust from my couples is something that I treasure. It’s incredibly rewarding to capture the joy, love, and emotion of a day that means so much, not just to them, but to everyone who loves them
I love where I live because …

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer than Michael, and his lovely assistant, Helene, for our wedding at Château de Cazenac. From our very first meeting, we instantly clicked—Michael just understood exactly what we wanted. We were drawn to his warm and personable nature, and his professional yet relaxed aura put us at ease right away. Michael went above and beyond by offering to capture our welcome party and day-after wedding party as well, and we couldn’t pass up the opportunity. He was always easy to reach, and throughout the process, he truly delivered on every promise. Helene was equally incredible—her eye for detail and creative vision really elevated our photos. One of the most exciting moments was receiving teasers on the same day and our prints the very next! Michael and Helene fit in perfectly with our guests and made the whole experience so much fun. They kept us calm, made us laugh, and felt like part of the celebration. We can’t recommend this talented duo highly enough. If you’re looking for photographers who are not only gifted but also wonderful to be around, Michael and Helene are the perfect choice!

We were incredibly lucky to have Michael as our wedding photographer back in August 2023 at Chateau de La Valouze. To say he was amazing is an understatement, Michael was so friendly and he really put us at ease throughout the whole day. He knew exactly how to get the best shots and we now have the best keepsake ever, our wedding album. We met with Michael a few times prior to the wedding to discuss day plans, styles and types of photos we would like, and everything went perfectly on the day, he even came back the next day to get some more shots of the Chateau! If you are getting married and you need a photographer that perfectly captures your day and all that you have asked for, then Michael is the one to book, we cannot recommend him enough! Thank you so so much!

We are absolutely thrilled with Michael's work as our wedding photographer. From the moment we saw his portfolio, we knew his talent was exceptional, but experiencing his artistry firsthand exceeded all our expectations. Michael's attention to detail and professionalism were evident from the start. He captured every special moment with such precision and creativity. One of the standout aspects of Michael's service was his incredible attentiveness. I was recovering from surgery and in considerable pain, but Michael constantly checked on me, ensuring I was comfortable and able to enjoy our special day. His empathy and care made a significant difference, and we are deeply grateful. Michael was also the perfect hype man on the craziest day of our lives. His energy and enthusiasm kept our spirits high, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. We received our wedding photo teaser in just four days, and the rest of the photos were delivered incredibly fast, allowing us to relive our special day without any delay. We are overjoyed with the photos—they are everything we hoped for and more. Michael's ability to capture the essence of our love, the joy of our family and friends, and the beauty of the venue is truly remarkable. Each time we look through the photos, we are transported back to that wonderful weekend. Thank you, Michael, for your hard work, dedication, and for going above and beyond to ensure we have these cherished memories to look back on for years to come. We feel so fortunate to have had you as our photographer and will wholeheartedly recommend your services to anyone looking to capture their special moments.
