Family Portrait shoot

I had a photoshoot today, mike and Jeanette were great,they made me.and my two girls feel very comfortable and at ease. Jeanette was great at keeping my little one amused while my older daughter and I had our make up and hair done, a thoroughly enjoyable experience, cant wait to see our photos

We’ve just been to collect our photos, what a lovely surprise Mike and Jeanette had done us a video of his favourite photos, it was so hard to choose our favourites, considering I hate having my photo taken that's high praise indeed, I can't recommend Mike and Jeanette highly enough, thank you so much to both of you xxx

Pat

Portrait shoot

“I’ve never enjoyed having my photo taken but was inspired when a friend had a portrait session with Mike. My well trained husband took notice of my hints and bought me a photo shoot for Christmas. Feeling very apprehensive I arrived with a suitcase of clothes unsure of what to wear. Jeanette was so helpful in selecting outfits and making sure that little details were taken care of. My hair and makeup looked amazing and so the fun began! Mikes professionalism put me at ease and I soon got in the swing of things. By the end of the evening I felt exhilarated and quite worn out. It’s surprisingly hard work. I was excited to view the results and wasn’t disappointed. The photos are beautiful and it was difficult to choose the ones to be printed out. There’s no pressure to purchase any but why wouldn’t you want a permanent reminder.”

Portrait shoot

“I recently had a shoot with Mike and initially I was nervous as I don’t like having my picture taken and I usually hate the outcome however Mike and his Wife made me feel so comfortable and I had such a great time! I couldn’t be happier with the outcome, the photographs are amazing I can’t quite believe it’s me in them! Overall a great experience with great people!”

Savannah

Fitness/beauty shoot

"I had a fitness style photo shoot with Mike for my PT business (with some beauty shots) & my experience with him was absolutely fantastic!

Such a lovely genuine man & made me feel extremely comfortable. He took his time & I didn't feel rushed at all!

Coming back to view the photos was also a lovely experience, sat comfortably & viewed them on a big screen with no pressure at all into purchasing them but of course I wanted them all because they where all so good!

Can't wait to work with Mike again in the future, I highly recommend him. Thank you Mike :)"

Harry & George with mum and dad 

birthday shoot for the boys

"We loved our photo shoot with Mike and his lovely wife Jeanette. Our boys, aged nearly 2 and 3 felt at home as soon as they spied the fish tank and colourful balls, and what we thought may be a ‘tricky’ experience with 2 vibrant toddlers turned out to be relaxed, great fun with lots of laughter and with the output of adorable photos! The hardest part has been selecting the photos as we loved them all....the ones we chose come beautifully mounted and we will cherish them forever. Mike takes the hassle out of a photoshoot and turns it into what it should be - precious memories of who you are. We can’t help but display them all...Fantastic value, thanks Mike and Jeanette (sincere apologies for the mess the boys made!) xxx"

portrait shoot

"You took someone who was broken and put the pieces back together again. The whole experience from start to finish was amazing.... really special. Mike and Jeannette guided me through the whole process, no pressure before or after the shoot, a genuine lovely couple. Thank you for everything!"

Karen

portrait shoot

"Mike and his wife Jeanette made me feel very comfortable and at ease throughout the shoot and for someone who hates having pictures of herself 😣😣 (there are actually none of me up in our house), I actually love them all 😍😍

It was lovely to feel like a princess for a night and I would definitely recommend Mike. This would make an ideal present for your wife, girlfriend, partner or daughter."

"After never having a photo shoot before.. having one with mike was a great first experience, him and his wife Jeannette went above and beyond to ensure it was enjoyable and that I felt comfortable. I love my photographs and will definitely be back in the future :)"

"Mike and Jeanette made my sister’s birthday treat a great success. Although she was quite nervous, they soon put her at her ease. She looked absolutely stunning after her makeover and the photos were amazing."

Baby Jack with mum and dad - 

New arrival

"When we had our little boy, Jack, we knew we wanted to have some photographs taken of him within the first few weeks because everyone had told us how quickly time flies with a newborn, and how fast they grow in those early days. We are so happy that we chose Mike to capture those precious moments for us. Not having had a private photo shoot before, we didn’t know quite what to expect, but working from his home studio, Mike, with the help of his wife, Jeannette, was able to put us at ease right from the beginning, and we genuinely had a lovely time, with lots of laughter, throughout the shoot. As any parents will know, babies aren’t ideal models sometimes, but Mike was so patient with us as we had to take time out to feed & change Jack (several times), and despite our darling boy having a few mini meltdowns, he was still able to capture so many really gorgeous moments. Now that he’s almost 6 weeks old, Jack has indeed already grown and changed so much, so it really is wonderful to have these beautiful pictures to look back on and treasure forever.

Thank you so much ☺

Love, 
Cat, Pete & Jack Rigby x"

Emma & Andrew - 

Maternity shoot

"Me and my husband Andrew had a maternity shoot two weeks ago...within a week the photos were ready to view and a few days after our finish products were available. Starting off with the shoot- Mike and Jeanette are very professional throughout but also make you feel very comfortable and at ease throughout and know who to get the best out of the photos that were taken. Lots of different backdrops and props available too.
Previewing the photos- mike came around to our home as we were short on time, arrived on time and with all the photos made into a video and on his laptop, we connected the video to the television then we could select the photos on the computer this was a very easy process but it was also so hard to pick which ones we liked the best! (We liked them all)
Finished product- we are so happy with our photos they are amazing quality and they are something that we will cherish forever and mike just captured that. 
We will be using mike again and I cannot recommend him enough, if your worried about booking a shoot don’t not hesitate!!"

Chloe & Evie-Mae - 

Maternity styled Photo session

"Just been to see the pictures of me and my daughter that I had done for a maternity shoot, and can easily say that I absolutely loved every single photo that was taken on Saturday and struggled to choose what I wanted.

From the moment we walked in, and to then coming to look at the images me and Evie felt so welcoming and had a great afternoon.

Thank you again to Mike and Janette for looking after us and making everything perfect, also thank you to Emma and Lisa for my beautiful hair and makeup.

Would 100% recommend if your looking for amazing quality photos, and a fun, relaxing afternoon"

Francesca - 

Makeover Styled Photo session

"I don't have a lot of self confidence. Am not model material. To be given a chance to get pampared and have some photographs taken. I was taken a back. I can't thank Mike and Jeanette enough . They were amazing and helped me with my nerves all the way through. I have to say very patient as am not the most flexible person. I loved every minute of the experience. Emma and Lisa who did my makeup and hair. Did an amazing job of getting my chosen 1950's style vintage look. To be honest it is probably the best l have ever looked on a weekday evening. From the contrast of my usual jeans and a baggy jumper look. The final result of my pictures themselves are truly amazing. I am happy that l will be able to have life time keep safes of my all time favourite retro iconic style."

Maddison -

Portrait Session

"Well what can I say other than Mike and Jeannette are just amazing. My 12 year old daughter recently had a photo shoot by Mike as one of her Christmas presents. Maddison was very nervous days coming up to the shoot and the day of the shoot, but she really had no need to be as they both made her feel so comfortable and at ease. The photo session was great fun and Maddison loved every minute of it. The setting was fantastic and Maddison had her own dressing room with complimentary drinks and chocolate. We have just been back to look through the photos and Mike had put a lovely video together that made me shed a few tears. If anyone is looking for somewhere to have a photo shoot or even a photographer for any other occasion look no further, I would highly recommend Mike and Jeannette

Forgot to mention the lovely ladies who did her hair and makeup, they both did an excellent job. Xx"

Lorra - 

Portrait Session

'I’m just an ordinary wife, mum and grandma. Not remotely model material. To say that I was nervous about the photo shoot was an understatement, but I decided to embrace the experience. 
Mike and Jeannette were very welcoming and reassuring. Great care was taken to ensure that I felt fabulous! Still me, but better. The girls who did my hair and makeup listened to what I wanted and when I wasn’t sure, Mike and Jeannette advised me as to what would be good for the photographs. 
Whilst I had taken several outfits with me, there was also a clothes rail with lots of other lovely options. 
 

The photograph session was great fun with Mike and Jeannette giving instruction and gentle pointers. I felt that they really wanted me to look my best and I think I did!
Seeing the video of the photographs was surprisingly quite emotional and choosing the ones to have printed was the most difficult part of the whole wonderful experience.'

The whole experience was amazing, I loved it. For a little while I was a princess!'

Kathleen & Mike - 

Wedding Day

"So for our most amazing day in our life Mike shot every breath taking moment and every funny moment of our biggest day and every shoot I have had I have felt more than welcome and comfortable. Amazing man to work with and I look forward your future family photos as I will only go to Mike for them.

Wish I could give more than 5*"

Chelsie - 

Portrait session

"Myself and my mum recently had a photo shoot done with Mike and I would genuinely recommend him to anyone. A photo shoot is not something we would normally do and so we were a little nervous as to what to expect. However, the home studio makes you feel very relaxed, as does Mike's approach when taking the photos. He is very professional, yet really down to earth and this makes you feel at ease straight away. The experience itself was fab but I was absolutely blown away when I saw the photographs afterwards. They are of fantastic quality and we found it so difficult to choose which ones to buy (we wanted them all!). His prices are very reasonable and his professionalism is worth every penny. I would happily book Mike for any occasion!"

Ryan & Jade - 

Cakesmash

"Mike was recommended by family to photograph our daughters 1st birthday cake smash, we have been to a few different companies for photos for our daughter as we like to keep photos for memories. I can honestly say mike's photos were by far the best quality, this was by a long way as well. Upon deciding how many photos we wanted and price I noticed a completely laid back and non pressured environment, which isn't the norm with other photography companies as they try and flog you the most. I will be returning in the future that's a definite"

Sheena & Jennah-Rae - 

Portrait session

"We had so much fun with Mike and Jeanette. They made us feel so relaxed, we came out feeling like we'd had a night out, it was brilliant! The photo's are so stunning, Mike has a way of capturing natural moments which I love x - can't stop looking at them xx"

Kimberley - 

Baby portraits

"We chose Mike for our sons first photoshoot. He is only 5 months old and dosent like the flash on the camera so we was a bit worried that we wouldn't get any decent shots. But Mike managed to beautifully capture our little boys personality and cheeky side. We will definitely be going back for future shoots and would highly recommend him for for any shoot, were you want your memories to be captured perfectly. Thanks again to Mike and Jeanette"

Sandra & Gary - 

Wedding Day

"Mike was our photographer at our wedding on 24th September 2016. He made me feel really relaxed and brought some humour to what was my nervous preparation for the big day. He's professional and has captured some amazing memories of our day. Thank you mike and his beautiful assistant/wife Jeannette. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to capture their special moments x"

Beth & Aaron - 

Engagement

"Made us feel really relaxed and we enjoyed the whole day. Would definitely recommend" 

"Mike was recommended to us by a friend and we are so glad we picked him to do our boys first photo shoot together. Firstly we were welcomed into there home by Mike and his lovely wife were we were made to feel so at ease then the shoot began. The experience was lovely and they couldn't do enough for us and then a few days later we were sent a preview to say the photos were amazing is an understatement when looking through them they made me so happy I cried. Will definitely be using Mike again and can't wait for the baby's first birthday as we want to do the cake smash xx"
