Wedding Photographer Orpington
I have photographed hundreds – possibly thousands – of weddings all over the world. Each is a unique occasion and your wedding photographs should bring you joy both in the taking and the memories they evoke as they become part of your family archive in the years to come. There are many great venues in and around Orpington like High Elms Golf Course and Kevington Hall, and many others near by. Book me for your wedding in Orpington or anywhere else for that matter!

Portrait Photographer Orpington
Having won the Portrait of Britain Award in 2020, and been shortlisted for the same prize in 2023, portraiture is a speciality. Most people do not enjoy being in front of the camera but I take pleasure in getting people to relax and be themselves so that they shine. So whether you want to commission a portrait of your nearest and dearest, or arrange a whole family sitting in Orpington, it will be an experience you find surprisingly enjoyable.

A bit about me
Hi, I’m Michael and I have been a photographer in Orpington for over twenty years. I have loads of experience in commissioned commercial and wedding photography. I am known for being easy going, relaxed and most importantly: reliable. My creative reputation is to be innovative and distinctive, but my unique selling point is that I do not think like other photographers. With a background in economics I have a clear understanding of commercial imperatives and human behaviour. These skills enable me to get to the heart of the matter. Understanding your audience and creating the right images to fill your needs.
I get on with everyone whatever their background or beliefs, treating people with the same respect that I would want for myself.
The following services are what I mainly provide, but if it involves photography in any way I can probably cover it for you:
- · Wedding photography
- · Commercial photography
- · Event photography
- · Maternity and birth photography
- · Portrait photography
- · Schools photography
- · Editorial photography
- · Photographic lab services
I have been working in and around Orpington for over 20 years. I love to work in the area, whether in the vibrant town centre, or the parks, woods, homes, and businesses surrounding this up and coming town which manages to be both London and Kent at the same time.
If you need an Orpington photographer please get in touch to discuss your needs as below. I am sure you will come to find that it was the best decision you could make.
