Kind Words & Wedding Photography Reviews, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Scotland:

 
 
Michael and Alicja are true professionals and artists in photography. We were fortunate enough to have them both capture our wedding. We arranged them from Singapore, and they made the whole process a breeze. The photos turned out beautiful. We highly recommend them and taking them up on the photo album process. The album itself is pure luxury and will be forever cherished. The album is of very high quality and I couldn’t have asked for more. I can’t praise them enough. Best that money can buy and a pleasure to work with. You will only be delighted by their ability to nail every detail of your photoshoot, wedding or anything else you engage them in. 10/10!

We couldn’t be more delighted with Fotogenic’s service on our wedding day. Michael is a true professional, extremely talented and worked very discreetly. We were especially pleased with the natural moments he captured and the excellent coverage of our full wedding day. Really great to have such good quality shots of our day to keep. Above all, having no photography knowledge or experience it was so nice for us to feel at ease after our initial meeting and have confidence that we made a good choice in what can be an overwhelming decision given there so much competition. Would very highly recommend for an all-round fantastic service!

Michael and Alicja captured our day perfectly and we would highly recommend them. We are so pleased with our photographs and our album is beautiful. They were a pleasure to have with us on the day and Michael was excellent at communicating with us.

Michael and Alicia were great to work with – flexible, understanding, organised yet invisible a lot of the day, which gave the observational photographs a really natural look. The photographs of our day were beautiful and fun and relaxed, which made it so difficult to choose what to put into our album. It literally took us months because we couldn’t decide between so many fabulous photos. I highly recommend you use this company and these two lovely people to take your wedding photos

We were absolutely delighted with the photos that Michael produced for our Wedding. They really captured the moment and he picked up on areas that we missed during the day.

Michael was very professional and organised – arriving on time and knowing where he was going. He knew everyone’s name and was great at getting the best out of my little flower girl, who was a little nervous. Michael floated around capturing the moment, but not once did we feel that he was in the way.

I cannot recommend Fotogenic of Scotland enough – Professional and top quality!

Michael was great! I liked his style from the very start, and we got amazing pictures we are so happy with. He even travelled to France for our destination wedding! He had very nice ideas, and went to visit the venue beforehand to see the best spots. On top of being very professional, approachable and discreet, he did a great job of “managing” our guests (most of them not speaking English) for the group shots and keeping us in timing, which was very much appreciated. He also took time to ask us what was important for us so he can take pictures of it, and asked to know a little more about the wedding party and close family, because he cares! These qualities are not easy to find in a photographer, and you don’t really know you need that until he does it! I would definitely recommend him.

You only get one chance to capture the special moments in time on your wedding day, and I’m so glad we used Fotogenic of Scotland to photograph our day.

Michael and Alicja where fantastic from beginning to end. For the build-up before the wedding; Michael spent the morning with the guys, and Alicja with the girls. Helping put both parties at ease.

They know exactly the types of shots to capture, and where very accommodating in taking particular pictures we wanted from the day.

Apart from the traditional group shots; you wouldn’t even know they were there. Always in the background, capturing things we weren’t even aware of.

You are consulted through every stage of putting the storybook/album together, and they are happy to answer all questions. The presentation and quality of the album is absolutely fantastic. One of the best I’ve seen.

I would not hesitate to recommend Fotogenic of Scotland to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

These two put the art into wedding photography- they captured all the stunning details of our venue, outfits etc I never would have thought of and they took wonderful pictures of our friends and family. Thanks guys, you captured our day perfectly! Lots of love xxx

 

Marie-Claire Redman

 

 

We were delighted that Fotogenic were available to photograph our wedding. We were even more delighted when we received our photo book – it is absolutely stunning! Alicja did a wonderful job of capturing the spirit of the day. We would recommend them very highly. Thank you, Alicja and Michael, for all your hard work – we are thrilled with the results.

 

Edward Sweeney

 

 

We couldn’t recommend Fotogenic highly enough! Michael was professional throughout and such a pleasure to work with. He made everyone feel at ease and captured every moment of our day beautifully. Every image is just stunning and presented impeccably. Our wedding album is truly something we will cherish forever.

 

Amanda Naylor

 

 

Alicja and Michael were thoroughly professional and on our big day Alicja made everybody at ease. Funny, attentive and super friendly. Can’t recommend highly enough. Her pictures are absolutely stunning and really captured our wedding in a style that we adore. Standard is of the highest quality I have encountered. Fotogenic, thank you for shooting our wedding and giving us memories that we will cherish forever.

Myself and my wife got married at the lodge on Loch Goil in October last year and we were lucky enough to be photographed by Michael. He was highly recommended to us and after seeing his work we didn’t think twice and we were certain we wanted to use him. So much so that we didn’t even bother looking anywhere else. We were so glad we didn’t look anywhere else his work is outstanding, beautiful and very natural (no gimmicks which we wanted to avoid).

From our very first contact with Michael, he was exceptionally friendly, professional and put us both at ease straight away and nothing was ever a bother for him, he was always happy to help and listen to our ideas.

Myself and my wife hate having our photos taken, however on the day Michael made it enjoyable, it was very relaxed, he made it all easy, he was simply amazing.

When we received our photos they were stunning, and looking at them took us back to our beautiful day and how happy everyone was. We opted for the storybook and it did not disappoint, beautifully presented and the quality exceptional.

If we could give Michael a ten-star rating, we would. We have been to a number of weddings and have encountered many photographers however we have to say that Michael is the best wedding photographer and anyone who chooses him for their wedding will absolutely not be disappointed. We honestly can’t rate him highly enough x

 

Sharon Bishop

 

 

My husband and I couldn’t be happier with the service we received from Fotogenic. We found Michael after another photographer cancelled on us a few weeks before our wedding, and he was kind, understanding, and professional from the first call. We love our photos, which perfectly capture our day — they were above and beyond all we had hoped for. Our storybook album is stunning, beautiful quality and so well composed. I can’t recommend Fotogenic enough, and can’t wait to use them for photography services again in future.

 

Natalie Seale

 

 

Wonderful experience!! We had to organize our engagement photos remotely as we live in Canada and we were only visiting Scotland for a week, but the process was completely smooth! Goes without saying that the actual shoot was a dream as well. Highly recommend!

 

Veronica Calderon

 

I am literally blown away with the quality of my photo’s. Michael was so friendly and professional. I cannot recommend him enough!

I have seen so many wedding albums but this is definitely the highest standard I have ever seen.

If you are getting married, have an event or simply want beautiful photo’s please contact Fotogenic of Scotland.

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

Thank you once again,

Mr & Mrs Knox :)

 

 

Really positive experience from start to finish. Michael has been friendly and helpful throughout. He was very efficient with communication, he gave a lot of thought to my business and products in order to give me some helpful direction, and lastly took really lovely photos. Would definitely recommend.

 

Rachael Gibson

 

 

Michael was absolutely fantastic on our wedding day. He made us both feel so relaxed and he had a great sense of humour! We are so pleased with our beautiful wedding photographs and the storybook is gorgeous; all of the images were perfect and presented so elegantly. Such a lovely way to remember our day!

 

Eilidh MacIntyre

 

 

Michael is an extremely talented photographer, I’m in love with all my wedding photos, I would highly recommend using Fotogenic of Scotland, you will not be disappointed!

 

Ashley Smith

 

 

Michael and Alicja at Fotogenic of Scotland came highly recommended and they didn’t disappoint. They couldn’t have been more thoughtful and imaginative!

We had decided to purchase a compilation of the photographs into a picture book of our special day.

On the way up to our location Michael began taking photos of the scenery to help tell our story. His use of the natural lighting was simply amazing.

Before the ceremony Michael communicated what, he wanted to capture and made it easy for us to follow his direction. During the ceremony he managed to capture the magic of our special day.

After the ceremony my husband and I wandered the property while Michael worked more magic. He was able to capture the chemistry between my husband and a little of our goofy personalities.

As if that weren’t enough, Alicja, a photographer herself, did a fabulous job editing the photographs to really have us and the location shine.

I would highly recommend Michael and Alicja at Fotogenic of Scotland to anyone looking for a photographer.

 

Andrew Gambill

 

 

What beautiful imagery!!
We cannot recommend Fotogenic enough! They exceeded all of our expectations for our wedding photography and have been a delight to communicate with throughout the whole process. So easy to talk to and personal. Thank you guys so much for capturing our memories

Christine McNiff

 

 

I recommend Fotogenic very highly! My wife and I (from Dallas, Texas) hired them to do our honeymoon photos, and the photos turned out sooooooo good. Michael is a really funny and awesome guy. He’s super fun to work with! We felt like models trying on different outfits and shooting in such beautiful nature settings! We would love to work with him again if given the chance. Do yourself a favour and look no further. Fotogenic is as good as it gets! You will NOT be disappointed!

 

Mikael Ferm

 

 

We could not have been happier with the work that Fotogenic provided for us. Michael was incredibly professional on the day, and put us both at ease. The photos turned out amazing. Would highly recommend to anybody.

 

Vanessa

 

 

Hired Michael as the photographer for our wedding in March 2018.

Both my husband and I were hugely impressed with the photographs from both our wedding and engagement shoot several months earlier. The style on the day was relaxed and extremely easy to work with. The feedback from immediate family and other guests to us was also extremely positive. Could not recommend highly enough.

Tim and Michael

 

 

We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Michael at Fotogenic of Scotland as a wedding photographer. We were really thrilled with the pictures he took of our day, he captured the day perfectly with lovely, natural photographs and the storybook he put together is absolutely beautiful. Wonderfully professional throughout, very reassuring and he made us feel at ease when neither of us felt particularly comfortable in front of the camera. Thank you Fotogenic!

 

Rebecca McCann

 

 

We would definitely recommend Fotogenic. They were very organised and professional but also friendly and put us at ease. Our wedding photographs were a beautiful mix of candid shots and pictures of items that were special to us as well as group shots of friends and family.

 

Sarah Carey

 

 

We cannot thank you enough Alicja for your patience, calming presence and amazing eye for capturing those precious moments.
We love our photos and photo album so much! Love and thanks,
The new Gillespie’s

 

Alexandra Lynn

 

 

Michael & Alicja are amazing to work with and understood exactly what was needed. Their images are beautiful and we are very lucky to have them here in Scotland. Couldn’t recommend more highly….and they were great with the dogs!

 

Rana Webster

 

 

We had a fantastic time with Michael and appreciate everything he did to make us comfortable in front of the camera.

The images are lovely, capturing the beauty of Scotland and the peace that surrounded our session.

I’m so grateful Michael was our photographer, it would not have been the same with someone else; he made us relaxed and showed our happiness in a beautiful way.

“Thank you” is not even enough for the sentiment we feel when we remember this time with Michael.

Rosie & Jamie

 

We cannot thank Michael enough for capturing our wedding so beautifully. He was like a magician on the day! We never once had to think about whether he was there to capture a moment because, simply put, he did. Somehow, he stayed invisible, but didn’t miss a trick. We chose him because his photographs always told a story, and he did not disappoint with ours. Not only are the photos stunning in terms of quality, but they’re the perfect way to relive our special day, moment by moment, exactly as it felt.

 

Sarah Peachey

 

 

Michael is a friendly, professional photographer with a natural talent for capturing the essence of a couple on their special day! I would recommend him as a photographer if top quality photos and materials along with a personal experience is your priority. Thanks Michael :)

 

Akis Murton

 

 

Michael and Alicja were amazing throughout the whole process. They put us at ease and made the day so enjoyable. The pictures we now have are wonderful! We are very happy we picked them to take our wedding photos. Thank you both so much.

Everyone, all my friends and family think the storybook is absolutely beautiful. We have never seen this type of album before. Absolutely unique. They are really wonderful photographers. Brilliant work!!!

 

Jamie Trust

 

 

Michael is a highly skilled, professional and reliable events photographer that we have engaged on a number of occasions. Highly recommended.

 

SURF Scotland

 

We used Fotogenic for our wedding photos at The Lodge on Loch Goil and we were very satisfied with Michael and the work he did. He was extremely pleasant and relaxed and put us at ease. The photos and the storybooks we received were unique and of a very high standard. We would recommend Fotogenic very highly.

 

Neil Gardiner

 

We are absolutely delighted with our dvd of photos and our storybook from our big day in July of 2015. The quality of the storybook is incredible as are the digital files we have received from Fotogenic. On the day of our wedding we were very impressed with the way that Michael and Alicja worked. They were not domineering but captured all of the images that we had requested plus many more which really captured the mood and story of the day. Many of our guests commented on how professional and unobtrusive they were. We wish them every success for the future.

 

Robbie and Hazel

 

 

Their photographs are timeless. We absolutely love the way they captured our special day. It’s more than a wedding photography. Thank you for your fantastic job!

 

Joanne Blackwood

 

 

Our wedding photos turned out more perfect than I could have ever imagined. Michael made the experience relaxed and easy, he has a wonderful style and everyone has remarked on the beautiful images he has taken.

 

Serena Cochinos

 

 

Michael photographed our wedding at Cottiers, Glasgow in June 2016. He made all of our wedding party feel very comfortable in front of the camera – no mean feat when both of our mums hate getting their photos taken. His photos were natural and really captured the day. We were so delighted with his pictures that we asked him to capture the arrival of our new born baby with some family pictures at our house in March 2018. Again, he did not disappoint with stunning unposed photos of our daughter Orlaith and other members of our family. We couldn’t have picked a better photographer and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and Fotogenic of Scotland. Thanks again Michael.

 

Kimberley McGregor

 

 

I cannot recommend Alicja and Michael highly enough. They provided an outstanding service to me and my husband but also to everyone who attended the wedding. They go above and beyond and even helped me stay totally relaxed when I was nervous. They managed to get the whole wedding party engaged with the photographs and when taking relaxed shots of guests, you wouldn’t even have noticed they were there.
They are a truly wonderful couple and magnificent photographers. They are warm and welcoming and nothing is too much for them. I cannot thank you both enough!

 

Mr and Mrs MacGibbon

 

 

We would definitely recommend fotogenicofscotland – both Michael and Alicja were very professional and good fun to have around on the day. We particularly loved our storybook showing the story of our day in pictures – a lovely reminder to have of a happy day!

 

Maria & Andy

 

Alicja and Michal are genuine, and very regarded professional artists. I am a wedding photographer based out of Seattle in the States. As many in our profession, we look for inspiration from other artists: for a look, for ideas, and most importantly divine influence.
Having been a huge fan of theirs for many years, I feel I have found my true inspiration in their work! The images they capture look timeless, elegant, and unique; but what I adore the most about their work is how the pictures look so effortless and natural. To me a wedding should speak classic elegance, and timeless beauty, with a story behind each picture, as that is exactly what they do. Alicja and Michal have a photojournalistic approach, in contrast to a traditional wedding photographer, they are story tellers!!! A photojournalist works unobtrusively to capture a “real life” appeal of the special event as it unfolds. It reveals the secrets and breath-taking exchanges between the two different personalities of the bride and the groom. Telling the story in rich detail. One would be so lucky to have them capture their special day, and have them write your own story by capturing it with their beautiful images.

 

Olimpia Flis

 

 

We absolutely loved working with Fotogenic Scotland and cannot recommend them enough! Our wedding day was a dream; we were inspired with confidence that Fotogenic were the photographers for us from the moment we first met them! Knowing that Michael and Alicja were capturing out happiness and precious moments and moving in-between our loved ones perfectly really enhanced our day. Michael and Alicja are the perfect photography team and will enhance the memories of your day with classy, poignant and unique photos.

 

Kirsten Cunningham.

 

 

We had the most amazing wedding day and our memories have been captured by the best photographer we could have asked for. Thank you so much to Michael for our beautiful photos! We were totally over the moon with your outstanding work & we are so grateful for our gorgeous albums we received today. We had some tears whilst giving these out to our family. They are so perfect, better than we could ever have expected! Thank you so much again, we wouldn’t have these amazing memories to look back on if it wasn’t for you.

We would highly recommend Michael, the service we received was outstanding & his photography skills are amazing! We aren’t just saying this but our photographs are the best we have ever seen!

 

From Linzi & David Gormley xx

 

 

Hiring Michael & Alicja to photograph our wedding was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process. We had a destination wedding to Scotland from the US which can be stressful but they made it very easy with the strong lines of communication throughout the way. On the day, they were extremely hardworking and after seeing our pictures, we were blown away with the quality. We highly recommend you consider working with them in the future. Thanks again!

 

Kyle and Alex

 

 

Fotogenic of Scotland are absolutely wonderful. They were friendly, organised, punctual and very professional. They captured some absolutely magical moments in our day. They are masters of their craft and have given us some incredible photographs that we will treasure for our whole life. I would recommend them very highly. They are worth every penny and more. Thank you so much Michael and Alicja.x

 

Michael Merrick

 

 

Alicja is an amazing photographer who we hired for my daughter’s naming ceremony! We highly recommend Fotogenic. They are organised, efficient, discreet and captured the atmosphere beautifully. We have so many gorgeous photos, there is a lovely balance between the posed family group photos and natural ones. The photographer was working to a strict timeframe and still managed to get everything we wanted. We would definitely hire them again! Thank you Fotogenic!!

 

Katie Thomson

 

 

Michael was great! We live in the States and wanted to do our engagement photos in Scotland. He was polite and understanding with any concerns I had! Our photos are perfect!

 

Sarak Pack

 

 

My wife and I hired Fotogenic of Scotland to capture our wedding day in May 2019 and we are absolutely thrilled with the results. From the initial meeting with Michael it was clear that he was the right person for us: his enthusiasm and support in helping us plan the timeline of events on the wedding day surely comes from his many years of experience in capturing such events – his calm and friendly demeanour is exactly what is required on what can be such an emotional and intense day. The quality of his photography speaks for itself – from the different locations to different lighting and weather conditions, he excelled in providing us with an album full of special moments and wonderful memories. We cannot recommend Fotogenic of Scotland highly enough – thank you Michael for helping to make our day unforgettable.

 

Robert Gallacher

 

 

Fotogenic did a great job photographing our wedding, approachable and helpful from the beginning, the photos were beautiful and our album is a great momento of a wonderful day. Professional service with wonderful images to choose from.

 

Joanna

 

 

Fotogenic of Scotland were absolutely exceptional wedding photographers! From beginning to end, they were incredible. I love our wedding photos, and have gotten so many compliments on them. I highly recommend them!

 

Brooke Bailey

 

 

I cannot say enough good things about Fotogenic. I contacted him last year as Scotland was a stop on our honeymoon, and I wanted photos taken there. It was raining, kinda sleeting- yet he still made the photos look magical! He also brought things I did not think of, such as sensible shoes, since it was so muddy and rainy. If you are looking for a photographer in Scotland, I HIGHLY recommend them!

 

Jessica Montie

 

 

I can’t recommend Michael highly enough – our wedding photos are really fabulous, and the finish and design of the storybook albums is beautiful. I love the style of the photos – they look beautiful and artistic and capture all the beauty of the day, and everyone looks lovely in them, but are also not stilted or staged looking and also capture the laughter and expressions and natural joy of us and our friends and family. Perfect! Michael was always professional, helpful, kind and efficient from start to finish. I’m so glad we used Fotogenic to make sure we have memories we will treasure forever of a fab day. Thank you!!!

 

Anna MaCaffrey

 

 

We are delighted with the pictures Alicja took of our wedding. We had lots of outdoor pictures which are just stunning; beautiful colours and light. Our wedding was small due to current restrictions; and it was lovely to have Alicja there as part of our day. I would 100% recommend Fotogenic for their photography.

 

Claire & Peter,

 

 

Michael photographed our wedding at The Lodge in October 2020. It is rare to meet someone so personable, easy to work with, understanding, genuinely caring and who knows his craft inside out. From our first conversation by telephone with him we were in doubt that he was exactly the person we wanted to entrust recording the biggest day of our lives with. He takes the time to understand your requirements and makes a real effort to know you personally and reflect this in his work. During our wedding day he has the ability to strike the balance of being unobtrusive yet managing to take a range of images that were truly stunning. I cannot recommend him highly enough. If you are thinking of booking with him do not hesitate, he will provide a fantastic service and photographs that are breath-taking.

 

Inika & Anthony,

 

 

Absolutely thrilled with our whole experience with Michael and Alicja from Fotogenic of Scotland. They are both so kind and friendly and made us feel so at ease. Having them photograph our wedding was the best decision we made. Our wedding album is just gorgeous and they put our wedding video on a stylish glass usb. The quality of the photos and video is absolutely perfect. If you want the best wedding photos and videos look no further than Fotogenic of Scotland. My husband and I will be forever grateful

 

Amanda Davidson

 

 

Michael was our photographer for our wedding in March 2020. We had met Michael previously at my brother’s wedding in 2018 when he was the wedding photographer there too! When we were planning our wedding, we knew we wanted Michael because he did such an amazing job of the photos for my brother and sister-in-law. Michael is very professional and highly organised. We had a video call the week before the wedding and Michael talked through exactly what would happen on the day. We made a plan together of which photos we wanted (which family members, where to take photos etc). Michael captured every aspect of the day from getting ready right through to some of the dancing and it was just perfect. Our photos are amazing and we are so happy with them! Thanks again Michael!

 

Kirsty A

 

 

Michael was our wedding photographer and, what can we say – what a professional!

Not only did he do a great job by catching every special moment (and I do mean “every”, he didn’t miss anything!), working with and sublimating the natural light, fully capturing the beauty of the location and the good looks of our guests, he also brought in huge value during the day itself – his precious advice was invaluable and he ended up being the one to ensure everything kept moving with our timeline.

The final photo album that he made with his wife also deserves special mention, because it is a stunningly beautiful, completely customized piece of art and craftsmanship – also thanks to their great patience for our unending stream of editing requests.

The quality of his work really is amazing – as an art director, my wife has met and worked with numerous great artists and now considers Michael to be among the best. If we were to do another event with a photo session in Scotland, we would certainly call on him again.

Thank you Fotogenic! The memories will stay forever.

 

David Riefenstahl

 

 

Can’t recommend Michael enough! Such a professional and an amazing photographer. Made our wedding photos so special. So, delighted we picked Fotogenic of Scotland.

 

Lauren Gemmell

 

 

We would highly recommend Michael. He worked tirelessly on our day and produced some absolutely outstanding photographs. Fantastic attention to detail, and fitted our brief perfectly. We are absolutely thrilled to have had him capture our day perfectly, each and every image is just amazing and tells a story. If you are looking for a photographer, then we would 100% recommend hiring Michael.

 

Emma Thropic

 

 

Michael photographed our elopement in December 2020. We could not be happier with how the pictures turned out. They really captured the atmosphere of our day and Michael was so lovely to work with. I cannot recommend him enough.

 

Grainne Cullen

 

 

Fotogenic of Scotland have been fantastic from start to finish after a year of uncertainty and unsure of whether our plans would change or not. We got married on the 3/10/20 and Michael made us both feel so comfortable and fitted into the day seamlessly. We are so pleased with the final outcome of our photographs and love our storybook and prints. They bring back the memories of the day perfectly. Would highly recommend. Thank you again Rachael and Steven.
