• We'd like to thank you for our photographs! They're great, and it really was very kind of you to have them finished so quickly - we were able to take them to Italy with us after our honeymoon to show the people who couldn't come to the UK for the wedding. Everyone there was very impressed that you had finished our photos so quickly (one of our friends there still doesn't have his wedding photos from his photographer almost 2 years after the wedding!).

• Thank you so much for letting us have the pictures. They are delightful and give a real flavour of the atmosphere of the day. They look so informal and natural and yet I saw how this was achieved through your experience and attention to detail. We are most grateful to you both.

• Michael Whiston Photography was without a doubt one of the best finds we could have wished for our wedding. Michael captured all the moments that went by so quickly and we now have them to treasure forever. On meeting Michael and his wife we both immediately felt at ease and thought they would be able to mingle unobtrusively with our guests and take some great relaxed shots - we weren't disappointed! Michael was an exceptional wedding photographer with a wealth of experience. Highly skilled, flexible and easy to work with, Michael takes pride in the quality of his work. I can't emphasise enough how beautiful our wedding photos pictures are; from the tiniest details of the shoes, to the big moment of the first kiss, each photo is just stunning. I'm delighted, as Michael Whiston also gave us the photographs on a DVD to keep and it was delivered to us very quickly so even better. For anyone looking for wedding photographers in Oxfordshire, Berkshire & Surrounding Counties we cannot recommend Michael Whiston enough!

• Michael and Kathy, Thank you so much for our wedding photographs. We haven't been home yet to see the DVDs but we have now had a chance to look through them all online. My facebook is full of comments about them, they are really brilliant. You've captured our day perfectly, thank you so much. I really love the bouquet throwing one that I sprung on you last minute! I have attached a testimonial for you to use on the website if you want and we are happy for you to use the photos:

  
  

  "Michael and Kathy provided a first class service from start to finish, helping us capture our wedding day celebrations. From the in depth initial meeting to discus the photos we wanted to sending us the discs with the hundreds of photos on; we have been thoroughly pleased. Our photos are excellent, Michael was unobtrusive and professional and Kathy was marvellous at organising all our relatives! We would highly recommend Michael to friends."

  
  

  Thank you once again

• Hi Michael and Kathy. Well, what can we say!! I know that Kay has already spoken to you, but we were 'blown away' by the photographs of our wedding and you have done a superb and totally professional job. We received your pack in the post this morning as Kay was talking to you on the phone. We really like the mix of formal and non formal photos and the colours and quality are superb aided by the wonderful settings at Wokefield.

  
  

  From the first time we came to see you to discuss our wedding, you have really made us feel welcome and at ease, and I would particularly like to thank Kathy for helping us out with the button holes etc on the day and for her valued contribution to the process.

  
  

  We had a truly memorable day at Wokefield, and all our family and friends present at the wedding thoroughly enjoyed sharing the occasion with us. Seeing all the wonderful photographs you have produced will provide us with a wonderful and long lasting memory of the occasion. Thank you both again so much and I wish you both every success for the future of your business. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending your services to anyone looking for a top quality photographer with a totally approachable and friendly nature.

  
  

  Very best regards to you both

• Michael was the photographer for our wedding last September and, from the first meeting, we were impressed by his relaxed but professional style. On our wedding day he captured both the formal and informal side of our day, and was so discreet that most of the time I didn't notice he was there! Having Kathy there to help organise the shots was very useful. The photos were stunning, and I still smile when I look at them. We thought the cost was very reasonable, definitely worth the money.

• Very Highly Recommended. Thanks to Michael and Kathy we have a fantastic set of formal and informal shots of our wedding. They prepared well in advance of the day, ensuring they understood our needs and how we wanted the photography to work. This put us at ease such that on the day we could just enjoy ourselves knowing that the photos were taken care of. All our guests commented on how well done the photos were - to us and our guests they "just seemed to happen" - this is down to all the hard work Michael and Kathy put in to make sure this hugely important part of the day ran smoothly.

• Michael. Apologies for my delay in writing, I just wanted to let you know how pleased we are with the photos of our wedding day. They really captured the spirit of the day, relaxed and informal, but very special. I think we were quite an awkward bunch, but you managed to get some lovely shots of everyone. Apart from all the ones of me and Jamie of course, my favourite is of Reuben and my sister sitting having a giggle! And I was so impressed about how you managed to capture the detail in my dress, it looks stunning.

  
  

  Thanks again, we are so pleased and if we're ever asked to recommend a wedding photographer we won't hesitate to pass on your details!

• Michael. The disc has arrived safely and I have downloaded the images and taken a quick look. You did indeed achieve a very full record of the day and we will enjoy many happy hours of browsing! Many thanks again for giving us such a good memory bank and achieving it all in such a friendly and relaxed way on the day.

• A professional team. With Michael’s technical knowledge and Kathy’s artistic eye, this professional team listened to what we wanted and gave us a good balance of reportage and formal shots. After receiving the proofs as soon as we returned from honeymoon we had plenty of time to decide which to put into our album. We were particularly pleased with the contempory look of the album and how non-intrusive the camera was on the day.

• Michael Whiston did our wedding photos last Aug on a very challenging day for a photographer....brilliant sunshine and heavy rain ! We were very pleased with the results, as he was as well, as he asked to feature many of them on his website. Michael is something of a perfectionist and it has paid off with a stunning set of pics. It can seem like a pain in the neck posing for them at times when you just want to chat and have a deserved drink but when the dust has faded a great set of photo's is absolutely priceless and a cause for much joy. One thing we particularly liked was their friendliness and organisation beforehand, we really got to know Michael and his partner in a couple of meetings and the day flowed very smoothly as a result. The other aspect we really liked was Michael's eye for the unposed shot, we asked for and got, a minimum of posed 'traditional' shots and he caught some absolutely fantastic situations just through his eye for a shot. Overall, we personally liked Michael and his partner (which makes things a lot easier!) and we are very happy with the quality and style of his work. Highly reccommended!

• Very efficient, thorough and professional service by Michael and Kathy. The day went as planned, the photos were ready once back from honeymoon and reprints just as quick. All in all highly recommendable.
