Emma & Ron July 2024: Farm Wedding

Mickey, you're truly fantastic! From family photos, farm photos too our wedding. You've become more than a photographer to us, you've become a trusted friend who we know creates the most calming atmosphere to capture the most breathtaking photos. That's not always easy when your subjects are wearing the oppositions rugby tops.

We would not use anyone else, we made sure our wedding day was when you had availability, you were as important to us as having the vicar in church!

You made everyone feel at ease and captured photos that will be cherished by our family for years to come.

We 1000% recommend you!

Micky was professional, a calming presence and you always knew he was in control. He captured our personalities so well and the photos tell a perfect story of our wedding day. Thank you so much!

Thank you Micky for our beautiful wedding photos we absolutely love them! You are an amazing photographer and we are so glad you were able to be part of our special day and capture every moment. Micky was great he has such a sense of humour which put us at ease straight away. From start to finish you made us feel so relaxed and comfortable. We would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.
 

Dani & Josh: March 2024 Shottle Hall

We had Micky for our wedding and from start to finish he was amazing. I was really nervous and didn’t know what to expect but Micky blended into the background even during the getting ready photos and came out with the most beautiful shots. His sense of humour fitted into our day and all our guests loved him. The service from the day of booking through to the wedding was amazing. You won’t be disappointed if you go with Micky!

 

Phoebe & Aidan: December 2023 Donnington Farm House

Fantastic service and fantastic personality, we highly recommend Micky, he became part of the family on our wedding day, and has become our go to family photographer. The photos from our wedding were outstanding, the way Micky captured our special moments was above and beyond our expectations. We highly recommend three six seven nine to anyone.
 

 

Kayleigh & Will: July 2022 Grangefields
Micky is a fantastic photographer and always goes the extra mile! (He even stood in the frezzing cold river at Dovedale to get the perfect shot of us).
On our wedding day he made everyone feel super relaxed, he blended in to the background so he wasn’t on show but takes the perfect shots that you want from your wedding. The best photographer around!

 

Liz & Shane: June 2022 Whatton House Tipis

We were so delighted with Micky as our wedding photographer - right from the start he was professional and personal, and on the day he captured it day beautifully. I hadn’t grasped what an integral role the photographer plays on your wedding day but we couldn’t have been in safer hands - from showing the groomsmen how to fit their buttonholes properly to herding the wedding party! All done with a great sense of humour and a natural knack at putting everyone at ease. Thank you so much Micky for the wonderful photos to remember the day by!

Mikey is basically a really nice down to earth bloke who is also is very very good at his job. When you are looking for a photographer you want someone who you feel at ease with and someone who is going to get on with all of guests. And this is Mikey 100% we had a good laugh with him he listened to what we wanted and was very chill about the whole thing. I found his presence very calming in the morning and he and my make up artist entertained us with stories from the wedding business which was great (No names of course).

He charmed all of my quests got some lovely candid shots and some really funny shots (my mother and a potted plant true story). He even did little things like help my son with his buttonhole and assist my make up artist to carry her things up a spiral staircase.

I would 100% recommend Mikey he’s amazing ! Thank you for everything x

We asked Mickey to photograph our wedding (he is also our ‘family photographer’) and he has done an amazing job with capturing our special day and even captures our personalities throughout. Micky was also so helpful during the lead up & on the day. I didn’t want photos of me getting ready before & Mickey had no issues with this at all, he was happy to do whatever we wanted. He has lots of great tips & advice too. We are over the moon with the photos, I never dreamed they would look as good as they do! Also the photos came very quickly online & so nice to have the little touches like posts on social media just after the big day. It helps too he makes you feel instantly relaxed with his great sense of humour! I have no doubt we will continue to use Mickey in the future for all our photography needs & we have no hesitation in recommending him to others! We are so thankful to Mickey for doing such a fantastic job

Sam & Amelia May 2016 Tipi Wedding

We could not have found a more fitting person to be part of our special day! He made us feel so at ease and ensured every moment/emotion was captured perfectly. I didn't realise how much I would be captivated by our photos, being able to relive every step, tear and even the bits I'd not remembered! Michael truly framed our memories for life and we would highly recommend him to anyone.
 

 

Kyle & Nadia: July 2015 Callow Hall

We cannot thank Micky enough for his amazing efforts as our wedding day photographer. We planned the whole day from abroad, and finding people we could depend on was tricky. One of the main things I was worried about was finding our photographer, and after a bit of a search, I started to wonder if we would ever find The One! Luckily, a friend came to the rescue and recommended Three Six Seven Nine. After seeing some of his photos, we knew instantly that Micky was exactly who we were looking for! He was absolutely fantastic, even making an effort to get to know us by email, which meant that when we did finally meet, we felt complete confidence in him – he really was an absolute star! On the day, he was consistently professional, and amazing at putting even the most camera shy guests at ease. His photos were inspired and really show off what a beautiful day it was – his approach put an even bigger smile on everyone's faces which has given us some absolutely beautiful natural photos - exactly what we were looking for! All the photos are absolutely amazing. He has even managed to capture the personalities of our guests, and capture the whole feel of different parts of the day. The whole album really means to world to us, and we are so proud to be able to share these special moments with friends and family all around the world.

We really cannot thank Micky enough. We highly recommend Three Six Seven Nine and look forward to seeing many more people capture their special moments with him.

 

Glyn & Louise: July 2014 Yeldersley Hall

We agonised over many decisions for our wedding, but who to use for our wedding photography was not one of them.   Three Six Seven Nine was one of the first suppliers we booked along with the church and the reception venue.   Micky’s availability was instrumental in choosing our wedding date as we knew we absolutely had to have him as our wedding photographer.
As Micky had taken photos of our new-born daughter, Olivia, in 2012, then at her Christening in 2013, we knew and trusted the style and quality of his work.   Micky is a talented photographer who can easily recognise the most beautiful possibilities and compositions in any given situation.   His intuitive ability to use the best of the light, weather and his subjects is second to none.  In addition to all of this, it helps that Micky is a thoroughly nice chap who is great to work with.
Before our wedding Micky took the time to understand what we wanted for our wedding.   In addition to great communication in the months preceding our big day, Micky arranged an engagement shoot for us.   Whilst this was an added bonus to the wedding package provided by Three Six Seven Nine, it is also testament to Micky’s attention to detail in preparation for the wedding.   The engagement shoot helps you, as a couple, to get used to being photographed – which for some (me certainly), does not always come naturally, unless you’re used to gracing the front cover of OK Magazine!!   
On the wedding day itself Micky was, as ever, the consummate professional.   He arrived promptly, and immediately set about seeing what he could capture until I was ready for my wedding preparation photos.   I loved the little details that Micky captured for us, such as the dresses, accessories, my beautiful shoes, jewellery etc.   Naturally, I was a bundle of nervous excitement on the morning of the wedding, Micky helped to diffuse any nervous tension with light-hearted conversation in between setting up shots and talking me through things.   Throughout the wedding day itself Micky worked tirelessly to get the best shots for us using the best of the light, weather and the stunning grounds and features at Yeldersley Hall.  I feel that Micky has the balance just right, he worked hard to capture the best moments and features of the day but achieved this without having to spend hours and hours of staging photos and without being obtrusive.  We are so pleased to have a wedding album which captures perfectly the best day of our lives.  We can re-live it through wonderful images whenever we choose and look forward to sharing the memories with our family for many years to come. 


I whole-heartedly recommend Three Six Seven Nine to anyone planning their wedding or any other special occasion they wish to capture.
