Michael Maurer Photography

Michael captured our wedding at Bingham Riverhouse, Richmond, in September and was such a delight to work with. He was communicative, flexible when our plans changed, and a lovely presence on the day. A lot of our guests also commented how lovely he was and how he managed to blend into the background. Michael’s use of colour and his editing really show off our beautiful flowers and venue, and the reportage style captured the relaxed nature of the day. We cannot recommend Michael enough. Thank you!

We couldn’t be happier that we chose Michael to be our wedding photographer. He listened to all of our wishes and requests and was always happy to chat through anything on the lead up to our big day which really reassured us. He blended into the background so much so that throughout the ceremony I totally forgot he was there until I saw the beautiful images. He was organised and set up all of the group shots we wanted swiftly without interrupting the order of the day and still allowing us to mingle with guests and have welcome drinks. We were so pleased with his work on the day, and when we received our images we were blown away - he captured not only precious formal family shots, but candid moments where we didn’t even know he was shooting. So many beautiful photos which we will treasure for years. Michael was fantastic throughout, and since our wedding we’ve had many of our guests ask for his details and comment on how professional, polite and thorough he was on the day. Me and my partner couldn’t recommend Michael more!

Michael photographed our wedding at The Petersham in Richmond. He was absolutely brilliant - spent time with us beforehand, listened to what we wanted, talked through the day to understand how everything was going to flow to work out how best to move around the venue and learned about our kids and closest guests. We wanted reportage / casual shots and Michael captured that style just as we had discussed. Michael really added to the day, making suggestions that added experiences for us all, as well as adding great photos. His relaxed and understated way of making everyone, including our 4 kids, feel comfortable and confident, was ace. The photos are beautiful and a perfect memory of our amazing day. Michael was the very best photographer that we could have had - kind, thoughtful, engaging, and took absolutely perfect pics.

Michael was our photographer last August for our dream wedding at Syon Park in London. For an important occasion such as this you want to remember and relive every moment during the day and Michael makes that more than possible with his photography. Every photo is so full of life, joy and natural moments that it takes you back to each second captured. He is an excellent guy, warm, friendly and naturally relaxing, setting you at ease from the beginning. From the moment we met him we knew he was the one to take our photos and without doubt worth every penny and more to invest in his skills, as the day really does go by so quickly. He is accommodating to your every request and listens to what “you” want the photos to show. He doesn’t just takes photos of the moments you are enjoying but also captures the feeling of the moments that you least expect. Michael, thank you for your work and the memories that you have given us to look back on.

Having Michael be part of our wedding was honestly one of the reasons I was so excited for the day because I knew he would be able to capture the memories and help them live on. He has a gift to be able to show the true emotions and atmosphere from the day through his photos, something nobody else we looked at could do in quite the same way. Truly there was no other option for us. It was Michael or nobody. Not only do you get his talent when you work with him, but he’s just the nicest guy. A calming and capable energy to be around - I will recommend him for the rest of my days!

We couldn’t be happier with our decision to have Michael as our wedding photographer. From the moment we met him, he was warm, friendly, and genuinely invested in capturing our day just as it unfolded. Michael has that rare balance of being incredibly professional while also feeling like part of the fun. He directed our guests with ease - never intrusive, always kind, and his presence brought such a calm, positive energy to the day. Everyone commented on how brilliant he was. Without a videographer, we were hoping our photos would tell the full story - and Michael delivered beyond anything we could have imagined. His ability to capture the most authentic, expressive moments is truly special. Looking through our gallery feels like reliving every emotion, laugh, and quiet moment all over again. We’re so grateful to have had him with us! And GOOD NEWS - stop your hunt for a photographer for your special occasion, you've found him :).

Picking a wedding photographer has to be one of the biggest decisions on the ‘wedmin’ list and we could not recommend Michael more highly! My husband and I got married in London in November with our reception at Hampton Court Palace. Michael captured every element of the wedding perfectly. We were looking for a documentary style photographer who would capture the energy and essence of our wedding day. Michael produced the most joyous photos whilst still ensuring everyone looked like themselves, really capturing the feeling of every moment. In addition to this, Michael is extremely kind and just a lovely person to be around - somehow managing to be the perfect balance of present and invisible on the day. We honestly couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you so much Michael. Xx

Absolutely fantastic. Although the it was our first (and hopefully only!) wedding, Michael offered so much more than just being there to take pictures. The support and guidance that he gave was fantastic throughout the day, as well as in the build up to our special day. And I haven't even said anything about the photos...! The final photos were fantastic and captured the magic of the day! As bride and groom, the day flashes before your eyes and becomes a bit of a blur - so to go through Michael's photos after our wedding day really made us appreciate what a truly amazing day it was! I don't think our wedding day would have been as special and memorable without having Michael there.

Michael's photos are absolutely incredible and we cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. Photos were one of the things my wife and I were particularly nervous about, with neither of us being natural posers. Michael managed to capture some amazing memories without us looking or feeling awkward! He was extremely professional and diligent from our initial email right through to working on the album after the wedding. He worked very well with our priest and was very respectful of the church and marriage service. We couldn't have asked for more.

Michael is truly an incredible talent and an amazing person to work with. He covered our wedding in Seville, Spain in May 2024 and was a major part of what made the day so special. He is an incredibly friendly person to work with and so responsive to any direction we wanted to go. As a non-photogenetic, camera-shy individual he totally removed any stress from the process; five minutes after meeting him I felt we had known each other for years. Secondly, he was so helpful on the day-of, to the point where we felt we had an additional wedding planner with us when Michael was around. His ability to efficiently organize people and adjust in the moment meant there was never a moment wasted, and we could maximize time with our guests. As he switched from English to Spanish to coordinate with whomever he was speaking with, we could not have been in better hands. Lastly, he is simply so talented - every photo captures the exact moment and perspective you would want to have memorialized. Not only do my wife and I love the moments he captured of us, but his photos of Sevilla and of our friends and family truly encapsulate everything that made the day important to us. All of our guests are shown in the best possible light. His photos of incredibly candid moments we will always cherish - and all of this was done without ever feeling we had a camera on us. Many thanks to Michael again for his beautiful work.
