WORDS OF THANKS

Josh Finn

Just to say, (prior to seeing the taster photos) that regardless of the actual photos, you were really fantastic – the energy and the involvement on Sunday was just incredible and you really added more to our party than just photos – we loved having you there.

And the taster photos – just amazing!

Thank you so much again – you really were fantastic.

 

Shiri Seymour

These photos are just beyond amazing!!!! I love how happy and joyous they are!!! Thank you so so much!!  Mum looks beautiful and she is delighted with them!!!! She has never liked a photo of herself before in her life! You are just brilliant!

Thank you for getting these to us so quickly, as I just got told you were at the batty last night too!!! Thank you so much again and can’t wait to see the rest!!!!❤️❤️❤️

 

Dalia Rachamim

 Firstly thanks a million for everything for the bat mitzvah just gone and all the past ones! Your energy and understanding is very much appreciated. I know I can be a pain to work with because I hate the camera! And I forgot I took yours on the dance floor and was reminded by a friend! 🙈

It’s been so lovely to have had you for all our kids! And going to so many simchas  makes me realise how lucky we have been to have someone who has lots of energy and gets involved and not felt so much!

Thanks for everything - we really do appreciate it so much.

 

Danielle Ellis

This album is amazing!!! Of course 13 is not the most photogenic age..

However you’ve captured it beautifully and done it very artistically, thank you so much! I’m really very pleased with that.

These were such a lovely surprise to receive today and I appreciate you sending them through. They really brighten these challenging days.

We love these - they capture the spirit so beautifully and we all really enjoyed having you as part of our simcha. 

​​​

Sima Setti

​I’m loving these photos!! They are amazing. I can’t wait to see more

​​

Natalia and Elli

​We had a wonderful experience using Michael Lee as our wedding photographer. He was adept at making us and our families feel comfortable in front of the camera (not always an easy feat, especially with young children!) and captured the craziest moments of a Jewish wedding with perfect skill. The photos of the dancing truly encapsulate the madness of simcha dancing and the schtick! Our couple photos also have the amazing quality of looking like candids -- if you want photos that are natural and fun, but still beautiful and classic, then we can't recommend Michael enough!

​​​

Dr Barsam

Michael Lee was excellent.

From the planning, on the day, actual photos and delivery.. he was perfect and faultless.

Michael was an absolute pleasure to have at our celebration, he was non-intrusive yet he added to the atmosphere in a fun and subtle way.

Michael's photos were so beautiful, he captured the mood and produced incredible photos.

Michael was organised, punctual and efficient.

​​

Suzi Rose

​Is there nothing Michael cant photograph! Our family photos were posed but fun and natural. Every detail of the room was artistically captured and there was not a facial expression or moment that was missed throughout the whole party itself. This is the second time we have used Michael and can’t thank him enough for helping us keep these amazing memories alive.

​​

Miriam and Laz

Michael - thank you so much for the amazing photos from our special day. You were a joy to work with from start to finish, you made us feel comfortable on the day and we loved all your creative and fun shots. You were professional and communicative in the lead up to the wedding which put us at ease, and you’re clearly passionate about what you do. We really love how you captured the energy, excitement and colour of our wedding - we hope to look back at these photos for many happy years to come!

​​​

Natasha and Nick

From the first meeting Michael put as at ease, although he had just started out on his own he had lots of experience working with other photographers, and he clearly had his own creative flair and exciting ideas for what would make good shots. On the day Michael was full of enthusiasm, he made sure to always be in the right place at the right time and really managed to capture the atmosphere of the day. We are so pleased with everything Michael did for us, and we've got some amazing photos to look back on for years to come.
