Michael Cheetham Photography

I’m honestly so grateful I found Michael. After my original photographer cancelled at the last minute, he stepped in and absolutely went above and beyond. I genuinely hate having my photo taken, but Michael has such a kind, calming presence that I felt comfortable almost immediately. He never made me feel rushed, had so many creative ideas, and his attention to detail is incredible. You can tell he genuinely cares about his clients and takes real pride in his work. His studio is fantastic, with beautiful outdoor locations nearby, so I ended up with a great variety of photos for my coaching website. The quality of the photos, the editing, and the turnaround all exceeded my expectations. Michael is an absolute unicorn of a human and an incredible photographer. I’d give him 50 stars if I could.

We needed a professional photographer for our annual Awards for Excellence ceremony at the Brighton Dome and Michael did wonderfully. We barely noticed him during the event and he captured so many brilliant moments of the day. It was such a pleasure to work with such a professional and hard working photographer and the photos look fantastic, despite the lighting challenges! We particularly loved the creative approach he had to getting key shots of all of the winners at the event. Great work Michael, we would absolutely work with you again! 👏👏

I needed some professional headshots taken of me, and Michael did a fantastic job. I'm not usually very comfortable with photographs being taken of me. Michael made me feel at ease during the photoshoot and helped me overcome this. I'm very happy with the results and I highly recommend him.

Delighted with the photos Michael did for us. He made us feel so comfortable on the day and gave us great direction for the best outcomes. Can't wait til the next one!

Michael is hands down one of the best photographers I’ve ever worked with. He recently captured photos for the relaunch of my business, and the compliments I’ve received have been endless. Michael has a remarkable ability to make you feel completely at ease and comfortable, all while keeping the experience fun and enjoyable. His professionalism and talent are unmatched, and the quality of his work is truly exceptional. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Michael to anyone, especially my network, for outstanding photography.

The photos turned out amazing! Michael is kind, professional, and knows what he's doing. He is very good at understanding you as a person and what you need from the photos. The photos have helped me a lot; I'm currently using them as my LinkedIn profile. I couldn't recommend Michael enough to anybody that needs photos. Thank you.

Michael was our wedding photographer and we had really excellent, attentive, amiable service: -pre-event meeting to determine what we needed -very good questionnaire about photo preferences -clear terms and prices -very responsive via email and very willing to go the extra mile (came to see the venue and had some really good suggestions for photo friendly setup) Michael is very hardworking (remember to feed him if it’s a wedding,he may be on his feet for 12 hours!), and very good at creatively coming up with the best places/ways/groups to take pictures. For LGBT+ folks, Micheal is very attuned and sensitive to some of the issues that may come up at queer events. We found him to be gentle, professional and very good at attuning to a client’s needs and particular circumstances. We very very highly recommend him. Thank you! Zoe
