Natural & Relaxed Wedding Photography
Hi I’m Michael, a wedding photographer with a passion for capturing the real, unscripted moments of your big day. My approach is simple: I focus on creating a relaxed environment where you can be yourself, so your photos reflect genuine emotions and true connections. Rather than staging every shot, I let your day unfold naturally, capturing the joy, laughter, and love as they happen.
Whether it’s the quiet moments before the ceremony, a candid laugh with friends, or the excitement of your first dance, I’m there to tell your story as it truly is. Take a look around, and if you feel a connection to my style, I’d love to be part of your wedding journey.
What my customers say…

Hire him now! You will not find a more professional yet personable guy. MC made us both feel truly comfortable and gave us great direction (we are both camera shy and not natural posers). MC is brilliant with communication (before and after the wedding) and the photos we received back where amazing, and exactly what we wanted! MC went above and beyond on the wedding day, he made everyone feel so at ease and even helped direct our videographers to make sure everything would be perfect for us. We can’t thank you enough.
Samantha & Paul
Me and my husband would highly recommend Michael Chilton Photography he stayed above his time at our wedding, he made everyone feel so at ease I felt like I had known him years! Made our wedding day superb and so glad we went with him.
Jessica & Charlie
Michael was our photographer for our wedding in August 2023. We could not recommend him enough! My husband and I were really nervous about finding a photographer who could put us at ease being in front of the camera and produce photos that felt natural. Michael went above and beyond to do this. His style and manner is relaxed, natural and also fun. His communication with us leading up to our big day was great and he met with us beforehand so that we knew exactly what to expect on the day and he was open to any requests we made. On the day he was a calming presence and helped make all the guests feel at ease when he was taking photos (he is also very supportive in communicating with the other wedding staff if anything goes wrong and helping with all the things that happen during the day - especially the getting ready rush!). We were really impressed with the wide variety of photos he took, we got some at different times of the day so the different lighting looks incredible! He also sent us some sneak peeks the day after the wedding, which felt a truly special touch. We are so incredibly happy with our photos and are so grateful to Michael for what a special job he did! One of our friends has even hired him for their wedding after being at ours! Thank you once again Michael for everything you did!
Natalie & Graham
One word wow! Amazing and so professional from the moment Michael arrived to moment he left.
I felt so at ease all day and the photos that he captured were incredible too. We are booking another photo shoot in the spring time. Thank you so much the Charlesworth’s
