Michael Calders Photography Full Description
Hi, I'm Mike. ​ I am a natural wedding and portrait photographer who instead of putting you in front of big studio lights in a studio, gets you outside in the elements where you will feel more comfortable and confident in front of the camera, no matter how shy you are. This way your photo shoot will be a lot more relaxed, fun and 100% natural. ​ I have my own original touch by incorporating props into my work such as my signature glass ball, string lights, sparklers, a Moon lamp and many more to give a whole new feel and perspective to my images. ​ Last year I was shortlisted for the Bridebook.co.uk Wedding Awards 2017 and this year I have won the 'Silver Certificate of Excellence' at the Bridebook.co.uk Wedding Awards 2018. I have also came in the Top 6 photographers as a Finalist in the Guides for Brides Customer Service Awards which I am over moon about! ​ I hope you like my work, feel free to get in contact with any questions or enquiries and hopefully we can work together soon to capture some amazing moments!

A brilliant set of memories from our day

We got married in August and we can't recommend Michael enough. He is friendly, relaxed and truly talented! He put us at ease in front of the camera, has a relaxed approach to getting his shots and has given us the most AMAZING wedding photos we could ever have imagined! We also got our photo album designed by Michael and couldn't be more pleased with the results. A genuinely lovely chap and an amazing photographer.

A wonderful photographer!!!

Me and my partner were very selective about our photographer! Mainly because I love photos - but my husband DOES NOT. If he could have gotten away with no photos at our wedding day, he would have! Then we were recommended Mike! The package we chose offered us a free engagement shoot. We made the arrangements but unfortunately the day came and the weather just wasn’t fit for purpose. However, instead of just cancelling on us Mike still suggested we meet and for a coffee and discuss what we’d like for our day! We met him and instantly felt at ease and knew we’d feel comfortable with him behind the camera! We re-booked our engagement shoot and the photos were beautiful! We knew then we had nothing to worry about when it came to our wedding photographs! The day came & Mike was as professional and friendly as ever! All our guests commented on just how lovely he was and how sneaky he was with his natural photographs that we kindly asked him to retrieve! When he showed us our album we were so stunned! Every photograph was beautiful and he managed to get a photo of every guest at our wedding! We couldn’t have loved them more! Mike we can’t thank you enough!

What an amazing guy

Michael photographed my partners sisters wedding. He is an amazing guy because just 2 months before the wedding her photographer sadly died leaving her photographerless. After 2 weeks of no luck getting a replacement at such short notice we were about to settle for phone pictures only when a friend of mine gave me michaels contact details. I messaged him with the feeling of no hope until he replied with a YES! We were all so grateful that he could help in this desperate situation to give my girl the best day. And boy did he deliver! Not only did he fit in like family he also took the happy couple aside (without the guests realising) and captured some true love shots. He was so great with the children. Like a ghost he moved around the room capturing the natural happiness of the day (and even took some beautiful shots of their doggie so he wasn't left out of the day). To end I would personally like to say thank you for everything you did for us to make the guys the happiest they could've been on their wedding day.

FAQs

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Unique, Natural, Fun, Friendly, Professional.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Try not to stress! Stress can cause a lot of friction on you and your partner. Things may get a little hectic no matter how organised you are, but once you take that first step on the aisle and see you partner standing there, all your worries will disappear.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Before a couple books me I like to meet up with them first, have a good chat to get to know them more as a couple and to get a lot of detail on what they would like to be captured on their day. If they are happy and would like to book me, then we will arrange a free engagement shoot for them so they get a chance to work with me before their day to make them feel a lot more comfortable and familiar with how I work.

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

To introduce my glass ball into my wedding photography. It has given an amazing effect and a great and creative new prospective on my images.

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Wellies and colourful umbrellas! No one will see your wellies under your dress and it will keep your shoes clean for when you go inside. I say colourful umbrellas because no one wants to turn up at a wedding and see dark and dull umbrellas all over the place. Even if it rains, it can still be a colourful and magical experience for you both.
