amazing photographer!

Michael did a fantastic job at my daughter and son in laws wedding in April, I almost forgot he was there! The pictures that he took that we did not realise at the time he was actually taking were truly amazing, every time I look back at the pics I cannot quite believe how good they are. So if you are looking for someone for your wedding look no further you won't be disappointed!

Very professional!

We were recommended to get in touch with Michael to capture our football match at Causeway Lane in Matlock.

By far one of the best we’ve worked with, and certainly one of the most professional. Much appreciated, we hope to have you again sometime!

Great experience

We happily recommend Michael as we found him very helpful, friendly, professional and super responsive to any questions we had. We had a very small ceremony and needed someone relaxed to capture the moment without too much fuss, Michael delivered and we are happy with our photos.
He promptly transferred us the first draft of photos and also super quickly delivered the final versions - could not ask for more.
Thank you.

Amazing photographer, recommend all day long!

We got married on 18th April this year and Michael captured every moment perfectly and the photos are so much more than what we could have imagined. For the days, weeks, months and years to come, the photos are what really being back the memories and remind you of how you felt, and Michael's work has absolutely done that and so much more. He was so efficient and professional and just slotted into the day perfectly to get all the best shots. Was super quick with sending us the photos after the wedding too, and just as quick with the final versions once we'd picked which we wanted, and amazing value for money. Absolutely cannot recommend enough if you want your special day encapsulated forever 😊

High quality images and very helpful

Having seen examples of Michael's work around Chesterfield FC, I emailed him looking for help with a university project centred around CFC. Michael sent me some excellent pictures for me to use. Thanks Michael!

Professional and comes highly recommended.

I contacted Michael having seen some of his impressive recent work with a small job that I wanted doing. Michael responded really quickly and his service for me exceeded my expectations. He comes highly recommended and I would have no hesitation on calling upon his services in future for myself. Thanks Michael.

Pet portraits

Michael did some photos of my dog Jackson (and one of the cats got in on the action too)! He got Jackson to catch treats and photographed him mid action. Beautiful photos. He also ordered a canvas of my favourite photo (I say favourite, but they’re all great and was hard to choose) highly recommended

Wedding photography

Michael was the photographer for our wedding in October and we are so glad we found him!
First and foremost, Michael is a lovely man who really takes the time to get to know you and what you want. He blends into the background and captures lovely little moments which make beautiful photos.
He made the entire experience relaxed so the photos turned out beautifully.

Michael is so talented and I couldn’t recommend him enough!

Our Wedding

Our Wedding was a day full of smiles and laughter, beautifully captured by Michael, including many spontaneous shots that we were unaware he had taken until we got the proofs back. We are very happy with his work and his friendly professional service. Melissa and Martin

We choose Michael South Photography…

We choose Michael South Photography after seeing some of his work on here. We wanted to get pictures of our two lovely cats and loved the idea of getting professional pictures done! Michael came all the way to our house at a time that was convenient for us which was really useful for us. He was professional, calm and patient (especially when he had two unpredictable cats to deal with!). Michael took lots of pictures and he allowed us ample time to select the best ones. He then edited them and sent them to us the next day! We were extremely happy with the selection of pictures. We would definitely use Michael again and recommend him. Great, efficient service. Thanks!
