Michael Wells Photography

Hello, I'm Mike, and I'm thrilled you're here! My love for photography stems from a deep passion for capturing the essence of family moments - the laughter, the interactions, the unspoken connections that weave the tapestry of a life shared. This passion led me to photography as a career, a journey that began later in life. Before entering the world of capturing moments behind the lens, I held a unique set of roles. I served as a butler, first in the elegant ateliers of Paris and then in the grandeur of London, even tending to the esteemed members of the Royal Family at Kensington Palace. This experience, despite the change of pace, instilled in me a genuine ability to connect with people from all walks of life, a skill that I believe translates beautifully into my work with couples.

From the bustling streets of London to the sun-drenched shores of Greece, where I met my wife of over 25 years, Karley, life has been an adventure. Karley often jokes that my previous roles as a butler and a barman have something to do with my innate knack for putting people at ease. I'm truly blessed to have her in my life, and her unwavering support has been crucial to my photographic journey.

My Approach to Wedding Photography

Today, my focus rests squarely on capturing the magic of weddings - those fleeting moments that deserve to be preserved as treasured memories. But it's not just about the grand poses and the stunning scenery; it's about the genuine emotion, the heartfelt laughter, the tender embraces, and the unspoken connections that make each wedding truly unique.

My style is deeply rooted in authenticity. I want your photographs to reflect the real you, the true essence of your love story. I believe in getting close to the action, immersing myself in the joy of the day, so I can capture those raw, unposed moments that speak volumes.

Gone are the days of distant telephoto lenses. I want to be present, to be part of the celebration, and to capture the genuine emotions that unfold organically. I work closely with my couples, understanding their vision and ensuring their photographs truly reflect their personal style and the narrative of their extraordinary day.

More Than Just Photographs

When you choose me as your wedding photographer, you're not just hiring a technician; you're welcoming a storyteller. I strive to create an experience that is enjoyable, relaxed, and, above all, authentic.

I believe that your wedding photographs should be more than just pretty pictures; they should be a window into your hearts, a portal back to the joy and love that filled your special day.
