Old Swan-based wedding specialist Mike Powell creates relaxed, authentic wedding photography with complementary wedding video and portrait expertise. A friendly, non-intrusive approach captures genuine moments and crafted portraits.
Mike Powell is a wedding specialist based in Old Swan, GB, who brings a balanced blend of creativity, technical skill and a quietly confident presence to every wedding day he photographs. Focusing on wedding photography as his core craft, Mike’s approach is relaxed and non-intrusive — he listens closely to what matters to each couple and then works unobtrusively to capture the moments that tell their story. Why choose Mike? His photography combines years of practiced technical knowledge with a designer’s eye for composition and colour. Comfortable shooting with both natural light and controlled flash, he knows how to read a scene and make decisive choices about focal length, shutter speed and lighting to create images that feel both timeless and contemporary. Mike also uses vintage analog colouring profiles in post to add warmth and character where appropriate, producing wedding photos with personality rather than a one-size-fits-all look. What makes his approach special is the emphasis on atmosphere and authenticity. Mike aims to put couples at ease: a pre-wedding shoot is often used as a calm rehearsal that helps people relax in front of the camera and refine the look they want for their wedding day. On the day itself he prefers to blend reportage-style coverage of candid emotions with considered portraiture of couples and families — capturing both the spontaneous and the composed moments that will become treasured memories. How he works with clients is simple and personal. From an initial conversation in Old Swan (or by phone/video) Mike will discuss priorities, timings and the key images you want. He adopts a friendly, down-to-earth manner so even camera-shy guests can feel comfortable. As a practitioner who also works in video and portraiture, he understands sequencing and storytelling across stills and moving images, which helps when planning coverage and post-production. Mike’s local knowledge of Liverpool, Chester and North Wales venues, combined with a thoughtful, client-centred way of working, makes him a strong choice for couples seeking professional wedding photography that feels honest, well-crafted and unfussy. If you want a wedding photographer who captures the essence of your day without fanfare, Mike Powell delivers genuine images you’ll return to again and again.
