Michael Cusick is a wedding specialist based in Huyton, serving Liverpool and beyond. His work centres on natural and emotive storytelling — documenting the real moments, small interactions and human connections that make a wedding day unique. If you want relaxed, candid and mostly informal wedding photography, Michael’s approach is designed to let your day unfold while he quietly records it. His style is deliberately hands‑off and journalistic for the majority of the day: he blends in like one of the guests, capturing laughter, anticipation, and the small, perfect imperfections that become treasured memories. When it comes to family group shots and couple portraits he offers gentle direction — simple suggestions about light, position or movement — to create portraits that feel authentic rather than staged. Michael shoots primarily on digital, with the option to add 35mm film for couples who want a classic, tactile feel to some of their images. This mix of digital clarity and film character gives weddings a varied, timeless look that suits both modern city ceremonies and quiet, intimate celebrations in the country. Working with Michael is straightforward and low‑stress. After you get in touch you’ll have a meet-and-chat (online or in person) so he can learn about your plans and feel of the day. On the wedding day he aims to be calm, present and unobtrusive — ensuring you can relax and enjoy your guests while he documents the story. Final images are carefully selected and edited in Michael’s own style, delivered via a beautiful online gallery for easy sharing and long‑term safekeeping. He values quality and craft: from the way he composes each moment to the considered editing that gives the images their mood. For larger weddings a second photographer can be arranged, and there’s also the option of a bespoke handmade wedding album for couples who want a physical keepsake. If you’re planning a wedding in Huyton, Liverpool or elsewhere in the UK and want professional wedding photos that feel honest, timeless and full of feeling, Michael Cusick offers a specialist, reassuring presence to capture your day exactly as it happens.
