Mike Garrard Photography

Mike Garrard is a specialist wedding photographer based in Amersham, just outside London. For nearly two decades he has focused on one clear purpose: creating wedding photographs that feel beautifully real and stand the test of time. Mike’s aim is to tell the story of your day with warmth and style — capturing the joy, the small in-between moments and the stunning portraits that you’ll treasure for years to come. What sets Mike apart is a blend of documentary sensitivity and a refined editorial eye. Trained in photojournalism and recognised repeatedly by his peers, he favours a style that balances natural reportage with a touch of elegance — pictures that deliver an immediate ‘wow’ but also grow in meaning over time. He listens closely to each couple, building a relaxed connection so people feel confident in front of the camera and then knows when to fade into the background to capture genuine moments as they unfold. Working with Mike is a collaborative, calm experience. From an initial conversation at the Amersham studio (or by video call) through the wedding day and beyond, he focuses on making the process simple and enjoyable. He limits the number of weddings he accepts each year to ensure personal attention, and often works with a second photographer for full-day coverage so every important moment is documented. After the wedding he helps couples craft their images into heirloom prints and handmade albums, designed in the studio and produced in the UK. Mike loves the variety of wedding life — from elegant London venues to sun-drenched destination weekends — and approaches each celebration with the same care and creativity. He speaks regularly at photography events and continues to develop his craft, bringing both technical excellence and a genuine enthusiasm for storytelling to every wedding. If you want wedding photography that feels effortless, creative and deeply personal, Mike Garrard offers a specialist service rooted in experience, sensitivity and beautiful, printed keepsakes. He’s passionate about delivering a gallery of images that not only look amazing on the day, but mean even more as the years go by.
