Winner - Best Wedding Photographers In Cornwall! - 16/04/10

Following on from an earlier blog post where we reported that we were a finalist in the West Country Wedding Awards, we're delighted to say that we were crowned 'Best Wedding Photographers in Cornwall 2010'.

Understandably we are absolutely delighted at winning this award, not only because we were up against some excellent photographers but, mainly due to the fact that a lot of the decision making is made upon client feedback. Our clients are always our number one priority, and their thoughts, ideas and input into their wedding photography is very important to us.

It was a great night too for some of our friends within the industry, with Victoria receiving the Best Wedding Venue Cornwall award on behalf of the Carbis Bay Hotel, Anna Sawle from Wedding Flowers in Cornwall winning Best Floral Designer and Rachel Bell accepting the Best Beauty Service award on behalf of all her team at Bells Brides

We would like to offer a massive congratulations to all the nominees and of course the winners, and a big thank you to all at Wedding Matters for organising the event.

After the awards night we got emailed through some of the comments made by our clients during the voting stage and we have to confess to feeling quite emotional reading through them. We love receiving thank you cards and letters after the wedding date, but never before have we seen so many lovely comments side by side!

If you are considering booking us for your wedding photography, please do take a look at some of the comments we received during the voting process:

“Well what can I say - these two men are fabulous! They made our day from 8am right through until the evening so memorable. They captured our whole day for us to keep forever.
When we met them months before the wedding we instantly knew our search for a photographer was over - they are so genuinely friendly, professional and approachable.
So many of our family and friends commented on their wonderful humor and manner.
When we saw our photos a couple of weeks later it was very emotional as they were stunning and we are so proud of them.
Thank you so much Chris and Mike!”

“i can't recommend Christian and Michael highly enough - they were relaxed, professional and they captured our day perfectly. Everyone has commented on how fantastic our photos were and we have recommended to many of our friends.”

“Great guys and fantastic photos - would highly recommend Chris and Mike.”

“Christian Michael did a fantastic job at our wedding. They were a pleasure to work with and the end result was amazing.”

“Fantastic photos, great photographers, made the normally tedious photos enjoyable. Very friendly, helpful and funny! Highly recommended!”

“Fantastic Photos all round and really kind and friendly people who made our day special and very personal. They stayed with each of us for the morning while we were getting ready and got some great shots and especially when we were in the church. They made it a day we could always look back on the photos and remember not only what we were doing but also what we were feeling. Fantastic all round service, many thanks xx”

“We are so glad that we chose Christian Michael for the photography at our wedding, and we have recommended them to everyone ever since. The guys are so nice and fit in on your day like one of the family. It is really nice having the two of them so one came to photograph myself and the bridesmaids in the morning and the other went to photograph my husband and the groomsmen. Nothing is too much trouble for them and their service truly is outstanding. I will definitely use them again for any photography I need to have done in the future. It was a pleasure having them as part of our wedding day!”

“Awesome guys, a pleasure to have at our wedding and we have some amazing photographs to remember our day forever. Many people at our wedding commented on Christian and Michael and how good they were and how well they fitted in to our day. True professionals!”

“Without a shadow of a doubt, the best service we had from all the companies we used, they were professional and committed to our day.
The quality of the photo's were superb, and both christian and michael were helpful, devoted and very friendly, i would recommend this company for weddings, family portraits, you name it they can do it. THANKYOU CHRIS AND MIKE!!!!!!!!!!”

“Amazing service and amazing photographs!”

“From the first phone call these fantastic guys stood out. They felt like old friends and part of the party, my husband hates having photo's taken and they made him feel completely at ease, everybody at the wedding commented how much fun the guys were and how unintrusive. With no pressure to fit to set timescales and specific formal photo's. We now have fantastic photos to remember the big day and very fond memories we would like to thank the guys, particularly as we are 300 miles from Newquay and were nervous about finding service providers for our wedding. These guys were by far the best service we got, in terms of value for money, support and quality photos with a fantastic CD.”

“Very friendly company who made us feel special on our wedding day. We never imagined we'd have such a good laugh having our wedding photos taken. We had great fun and our photographer had some really imaginative ideas for shots to make our photos really contemporary. Would certainly recommend Christian Michael!”

“These guys are truly amazing. The have great personalities, excellent professionalism and commitment to their work and fit in like one of the family on the wedding day! They capture moments you do not see yourself and when you look back at their work after your wedding it brings tears of joy. From the initial booking and telephone call to the actual day they are faultless and keep in touch discussing what exactly you want to ensure nothing is left out. Being voted in the top 10 wedding photographers really shows they are a up there with the big names of wedding photography. If you book a photographer for your wedding, Christian Michael is the one you need to be calling with out a doubt!”

“Simply put, an amazing pair of characters who were committed to providing us with exactly the type of photos we wanted, who were fantastic pre-wedding (providing me with wine!) and even better on the day. All of our guests commented on how friendly, funny and professional they were. They really captured our day and their sense of humour helped through all (my!) tears of happiness. I simply can't say enough good things about Christian and Michael, I would recommend them to anyone! Thanks guys, Tara.”

“We loved having Chris and Mike as part of our day, they made everyone feel at ease and took some gorgeous, fantastic photographs, especially those down by the harbour in Charlestown. As we were coming down from London Mike came to our planning meeting at the venue and nothing was too much trouble for them to help us get the pictures we wanted. They were happy to agree to transfer the copyright to us and that our pictures would not be on their website (my particular request). They were an absolute pleasure to deal with and we were so glad we chose them. We cannot recommend them highly enough!”

“Chris & Michael were absolutely fantastic, we really couldn't have asked for more. Our guests still talk about them 6 months on. They were extremely professional, friendly, personable and it felt as though we had known them for years and they were our guests. Our wedding story book album really does capture the day thanks to their outstanding work and we really cannot thank them enough.”

“I couldn't recommend Chris and Mike more highly. Not only do they take the most gorgeous photos that make even the least photogenic amongst us look ok, they are also really lovely blokes.”

“As the brides parents we were delighted with the service and finished photographs (even we looked good on them!) and would highly recommend Christian Michael”


“I would like to vote for Christian Michael Photography as I was very impressed with their service for our special day. Many of our guests (and even other residents of the hotel) reported on how considerate and approachable they were. Unlike some photographers they were not pushy at all and allowed us to lead the day whilst gently steering the large wedding party through the photography.”

“These Lads are the BEST from the moment we met them we felt like friends! have met since the wedding and have recommended friends and family all have felt the same.AMAZING, FRIENDLY, PROFESSIONAL, PASSIONATE ABOUT WHAT THEY DO AND WILL GO THE EXTRA MILE!!!!!!!!! AND AN ABSOLUT SCREAM the nerves just disappear.”

“Both my wife and I were DELIGHTED by the service and support which Christian Michael gave us on our wedding day. Excellent photographers!”

“christian and michael made mine and Barrys day so very special and all our guest commented on how great they were on the day, we couldn’t have hoped for more amazing photographers”
