About Me

As a kid I always had a camera close by and photography was always a passion of mine - whether it was places, people or motorsport (my other love!).

However, it wasn't until my wife and I welcomed our first child that it really kicked off and, as most parents do, I loved taking photos of our kids (and still do!) and creating beautiful images to hang on our walls. I love the whole process - interacting with people, getting to know them, taking photos and the process of editing each one to really bring out the best in each image...

Our Christmas mini shoot with Mike was so much fun. The kids had a fab time and there was no pressure or rushing, everyone was made to feel at ease. The photos are amazing, I would recommend Mike to anyone looking to have their family portraits done.

We had a lovely outdoor mini session with Mike. Mike was extremely professional, friendly and fantastic with my little boy. The photos are gorgeous and were returned promptly. Would highly recommend.

My son has special needs and Mike was so understanding and very reassuring.
My twins had a great time at their photo shoot feeling very important and posing.
I will definitely use Mike Silver Photography again.

Becky HGoogle Review

Thank you Mike! This was the first time we’d ever done a Christmas photoshoot and it didn’t disappoint. Some beautiful pictures captured of our little family. So much so we ended up buying the whole set of pictures. We’d definitely like to come again!

Why Work With Me?

I want to share my love of family and event photography with you! My vibrant and warm style will help create images you'll love.

A Personal Connection

The best photos often come when you're relaxed and comfortable. Before any photo session you'll get a questionnaire or we'll schedule a call to get to know one another better.

Natural smiles are always the best so on family shoots we take our time, and make the session fun with jokes, laughter and a bit of silliness!

You're in Control

It's your shoot and they'll be your images so if you have a cherished location, need to make changes, or maybe you're party is over-running then it's no problem. I'll always help and advise but I'll work around what you want out of the session.
