Guisborough wedding photographer Mick Merriott specialises in candid, creative wedding photography across North Yorkshire and Teesside. Relaxed, natural images with no cheesy or stuffy poses.
I'm Mick Merriott, a Guisborough‑based, award‑winning wedding photographer who loves photographing real people having an amazing time. My work is built around one simple idea — KEEPING IT REAL. If you want no cheesy, no stuffy poses and images that genuinely reflect the joy and atmosphere of your wedding day, we’ll get on well. My approach blends documentary, reportage and creatively composed portraits. For most of the day I work quietly and unobtrusively, capturing candid moments: the laughter, the hugs, the tears, the guests letting loose on the dancefloor. Then, when it feels right, I’ll take a little time with you both to create portraits that are relaxed, fun and full of connection — never awkward, never forced. Why choose me? I bring years of experience shooting weddings across North Yorkshire and Teesside and I’m proud to be part of the Flash Masters community. That background gives me a confident, calm presence on the day so you can forget the camera and simply enjoy yourselves. Couples frequently say they barely noticed I was there — and that’s the point. Great wedding photos come from natural moments, not staged performances. How I work with you: I keep the planning simple and stress‑free. We’ll talk about your day, any must‑have shots and the timings, then I’ll adapt to the pace of your celebrations. Many couples like to add an engagement shoot beforehand — it’s a relaxed way to get comfortable in front of my camera and leaves you feeling confident on the big day. I also offer tasteful extras like handmade albums and bespoke keepsake boxes to present your images in print when you want them off screen. My style has a creative edge — I love using light, colour and composition to produce memorable, striking images while still telling the full story of your day. Based in Guisborough, I cover weddings across North Yorkshire and Teesside and I’m always happy to recommend trusted videographers and suppliers when needed. If you want professional wedding photos that feel honest, joyful and beautifully crafted — with no awkward posing — let’s chat and see how I can document your day.
