Richard and Joanne’s wedding

Michael from start to finish was very friendly and helpful with our wedding photos, even having the rainiest wedding day ever he was able to capture our ceremony and took some lovely shots of us and our guests including Max our dog.
Would highly recommend him for any occasion.

Top notch photographer

He was exactly what he advertised and more importantly exactly what I wanted for my low key wedding. We hadn’t wanted official photos initially but we are so glad we did. Michael was great and really wanted to make our day special. We met up so he got a feel of who we are. He wasn’t intrusive on the day and his pictures were amazing. I had family from abroad and so the memories he captured are worth a million, I couldn’t thank him enough for all he captured.
We couldn’t be anymore grateful to Michael for his very down to earth photography.

Wedding Photography

Platinum Package, this was a mixture of posed pictures and invisible photographer. The preparation beforehand minimised the waiting around for the posed shots. The invisible photographer caught some truly amazing pictures, he blended in so well you forgot he was there. He tailor made the package for us, he phographed everything from getting ready to the first dance. I fully recommend him to capture your special day. Book with confidence.

First rate wedding photographer

Michael came recommended by one of our family members and he did an absolutely smashing job!

He met with us before the wedding to discuss potential shots and scout out the venue (As he'd not worked there before).

On the day he caught every moment and got some truly amazing shots. After we made our selection (from the 1500+ shots on the day) he promptly edited them and visited in person to drop off the USB drive.

We would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a wedding photographer,

Thank-you for capturing our big day,
Phil & Kim

Go to Guy!

Micheal is our go to guy when it comes to junior football photography. As well as great action shots, Michael is able to capture character, passion and humour in his pictures. He puts everyone at ease and gets the most out of any situation. I’d definitely recommend Micheal to be your go to guy!

Excellent photography, excellent service - highly recommended!…

I contacted Michael South Photography looking to purchase a CFC themed photo print to create a price of art work from. Michael couldn’t have been any more helpful - he made great suggestions, always responded quickly and positively to my messages and questions, was very reasonable in his pricing, continually kept me informed, and delivered a great quality photo quickly.

Chesterfield Town 20th Anniversary Fun Day

Michael recently attended our club anniversary and annual fun day.

He was able to capture lots of amazing action shots as well as some really poignant atmospheric images that really summed up the community spirit of the day and the club.

We would highly recommend Michael be the photographer of any sporting occasion or large social events.

Thank you Michael!

For and on behalf of Chesterfield Town FC.

Photo of my grandson

We spotted a photo of my grandson in a book co-written by Michael (Chesterfield FC 2018-24, highly recommend if you are a Spireite) and I contacted him to see if it was possible to have a copy of the photo. Absolutely no problem and it arrived a couple of days later. Many thanks Michael. Very helpful, friendly and responsive.

Brilliant!

Michael was fantastic, from start to finish his communication was prompt and he answered any questions I had. He met with me beforehand to ensure that he understood what I needed him to do and that we were on the same page. He made the time to make the experience personal and ensured that we were happy with the pictures. He directed us brilliantly to make sure he had all the right shots. He sent the pictures the same day after editing and the final results are fantastic.

Really happy with our wedding…

Really happy with our wedding photography from Michael, he provided the natural feel that we wanted for the day. Micheal was very easy to work with and once we had picked our photos (that was the hard part as there were so many great ones) he was really quick in getting the final images back to us. Would recommend. 9

Wedding Photography

We recently chose Michael to take the photos at our daughter's wedding. Right from the start he was very approachable and responded quickly to any queries we had. On the day he made us all feel at ease and captured the day beautifully. We received several hundred photos to choose from the very next day and once we had selected the photos we wanted to keep, he hand delivered them to us on a memory stick less than a week later. The photos are stunning and he's also a thoroughly nice guy - we can't praise Michael highly enough.

The National League Years

The National League Years is a must-read for all spireites! I read it in one sitting. Michael’s photographs really capture the rollercoaster of the last six years and it was especially nice to relive the joy of last season. The book is definitely something I’ll look back on in the future. Massive credit to Michael and Dave for their great work!

Chesterfield FC The National League Years

This book is a fantastic record of Chesterfield FC's time in the national league, capturing the highs and lows of 6 years in the league. Really well put together by Michael and Dave (Legends of the spire). A must for all spireites fans.

Chesterfield FC National League Years book

National League Years book, what I have read so far I am hooked. Brought back so many memories good and bad!! But that’s the joys of football.
Please start to gather information for the League 2 as I hope another book will be incoming 🤩🤩.
