Michael is very friendly and professional from the start. He established exactly what we wanted and delivered what we wanted and more. We were worried about suppliers having an issue as we are a gay coiple but that was never an problem with Michael and he put us at ease. The photos are incredible and we believe we got real value for money. We would definitely use Michael again for any photographry we needed.

While planning a charitable town festival, we found ourselves needing a new photographer with just a few weeks to go. Michael Thompson of Michaels Photography stepped in. He attended a planning meeting, researched the location, and planned a custom background all ahead of time. On the day, he moved around the event capturing a gallery of over 200 fantastic images, and offered free prints to competition winners as additional prizes. The theme for our Festival this year was 'Superheroes,' and Michael definitely saved our day!
