UK Documentary Wedding Photography, by Michael Stanton

Hi, I’m Michael, a documentary wedding photographer based in Sussex near Brighton. I work with couples all over the UK to capture beautiful and authentic wedding photos.

Love, beauty and humour cannot be told to ‘wait there’, ‘move here’ or ‘do that again’. That’s why I create expertly composed, natural, unobtrusive wedding photography as your big day unfolds, without interrupting to ask you to pose. This means you’ll receive hundreds of pictures that truly reflect the love and joy of your wedding day. I promise it will be these authentic, storytelling photos that you’ll cherish the most in years to come. Oh, and I also love creating beautiful couple and group portraits for those that want them.

Please have a look around to find out more about my approach to documentary wedding photography, or check out my portfolio, or more about me. Or simply get in touch if you want to know more and to tell me about your wedding plans.

"WOW! We are both blown away by these pics and so are all our friends and family. Literally amazing! Stunning! We even shed a few tears when looking through them, they really did make us feel like we were there again reliving the memories."
Annie & Charlie
"Oh my god! The pictures are beautiful! Thank you! Sorry for the massive overuse of exclamation marks, but I can’t help it, I love them! The photos have made me smile (and cry a little bit, in a good way). You’re a little bit of a genius with that camera, and a bloody great bloke. I enjoyed very much having you around."
Danielle & Ian
"We LOVE the pictures! And our family and friends do too. We watched the slideshow about 17 times! We liked you instantly and knew we’d chosen the right photographer. You were really polite and friendly and gave us great advice. Most importantly, the pictures you took really reflected what an amazing, amazing day it was for us."
Mel & Jez
"Thank you so much for the pictures! They’re absolutely fantastic and really sum up the day perfectly. I can’t stop looking at them! I love the different moments you’ve captured and it’s great to see some of the other stories from the day that we didn’t see ourselves. As our photographer you were brilliant – we had a laugh with you and you definitely fitted in well with the whole vibe of the day."
Aïcha & Dan
"A massive thank you for providing such a great set of pictures for us all to remember the day by. We’ve had countless positive comments: ‘best wedding pictures ever’, ‘so unique’, ‘really tell the story of the day’… Everyone’s raving about them! You also managed a perfect balance between fading into the background and, when needed, politely organising. You and your humour fitted into the day very naturally and we’re so glad we had you as our photographer!"
Lizzie & Jamie
"Thank you so much for these absolutely beautiful pictures – they really told the story of our day. You were brilliant on the day and you managed to get some pictures that we had no idea you were even around for. You were brilliantly inconspicuous! We were so pleased we picked you to photograph our day – these pictures are exactly what we were looking for."
Jessica & Steve
"Wow wow wow, these photos are incredible!! We sat down last night and went through them all, they are just brilliant, thank you so much! They really capture the day, the fun and laughter of everyone, we are so thrilled!"
