Michaela was kind enough to help us out at short notice when we decided to go ahead with our wedding during Covid-19 restrictions earlier this year. I had one main rule – virtually be invisible and get natural shots of the day. Michaela was perfect, with suggestions for some subtle shots and she was never invasive or bossy (my biggest fear!) it was a pleasure to work with her. She even helped me get into my dress and formally witnessed our marriage seeing as we weren’t allowed guests – we are so grateful for her help and highly recommend her for weddings and events.
