About Me

Hello…

michelle waspe 1980 mini

I’m Michelle and I’m an alternative wedding photographer who loves to tell the story of a couples’ wedding day through photographs. I love to shoot weddings that are relaxed, a bit different from the norm and do it in a unique, creative and beautiful way.

I love getting to know people.  People and their quirks fascinate me.  I hope we’ll get to know each other so you feel as though you’ve got a friend with you on the day and not just a photographer.

Photography is important to you and you care about having beautiful pictures and you won’t mind how creative I am or if I whip out my holga or 35 mm for a few shots.

I hope that gives you some idea of who I am and what my photography business is about, but if you’re anything like me and you’d like to know a bit more, here are a few random facts …

I am married to Barney who is very supportive of me and my photography business.  I have an amazing, incredible, funny and totally gorgeous little boy – I really can’t believe I made him sometimes!  I’m rather nostalgic and sentimental…

 

michelle waspe 2012 miniI love a glass of wine or a cider. Even better if it’s by the riverside or on a beach.  I love bookshops and libraries.  I’m a bit of a softie – my husband always looks at me at just the right moment during a programme because he knows exactly when I’m going to cry … I love inspirational quotes and literature. I love tattoos, scarves and birds. I love pottering in charity and vintage shops.  I love lace, wearing jeans and my chunky bangles.  I love woods with very tall trees. I love pretty notebooks and scribbling notes and to-do lists in them.  I love looking at old photographs and having the radio on, usually it’s Xfm or BBC6 with a bit of absolute ’80s if I’m feeling cheesy!  I love the colour blue and patterns. I love collecting old cameras.  I love beaches and the sea. One day I’d like to live near one…
