Memories to last a lifetime.
Romantic, Dramatic, Timeless
Hello There,
Who is Michael Lean?
A loving husband, a first time dad, A photographer and someone who loves adventure and having FUN!
Wedding days are the absolute best day ever and I enjoy every single one of them. There is nothing better than seeing how happy the couples I photograph are, and then seeing them the reactions when they see them is absolutely priceless. I really do believe I have the best job in the world.
My couple all say the same thing “I’m shy in front of a camera” or “we don’t really like photos of us” and when they get the photos back they say “How did you get such incredible photos?”
Because I build that relationship from the first initial contact, through the meeting and booking, then continue to send you tips and Inspo in the lead up to your wedding day that couples all say they know I have it all under control. And by the wedding day we are besties!
I am their to document the day with an artistic licence. I don’t need to create fine art, I am their to make sure you have the best time ever and capture those moments from every hug to every tear.

My Style
My style has evolved over the years but has become something that I am truly proud of, Every wedding is different but I am always looking for the best most dramatic light in any location. My style has been called timeless yet dramatic so be sure to check out my instagram for the latest photos. To us every wedding is special as they each tell a unique love story brought about by the couple involved and whats lead them to this momentous occasion. We aim to share that story though our images by sharing all the smiles, tears, laughter and joy not only of the Bride and Groom but also from the loved ones chosen to attend.
Warm sunsets, Beautiful Happy faces, Romantic and Dramatic, Timeless and Full of life

Reviews
We have many different ways people can review us from Facebook, google and ABIA. Feel free to see what people say about us to help build confidence that I not only capture great photos but I’m fun to be around.
“The most professional, creative and kindhearted photographer. He brought out the very best in my husband and I. We had an absolute ball working with him. If anybody needs a wedding photographer look no further than Michael.” - Rebecca and Daniel
“Could not fault the service at all! Michael felt like part of the family during the time spent with us. Michael takes his job incredibly seriously, but encourages fun, joy, love and laughter. Michael's professionalism shone through with many emails to assist with preparation for not just his service, but the entire day in the lead up to the wedding. Highly recommend if you're after nothing but fun, uniqueness, and a photographer who listens to what you really want to remember your special day” - Rachel and Josh
“Absolutely amazing! I couldnt recommend Micheal and Ashley more highly. Their energy, guidance and attitude the whole day was incredible. Their experience really shows and made our day run so smoothly, we even got our sneak peaks that night, and the photos were beyond our expectations, so beautiful. We cant thank them enough for capturing our day.” - Shacara and Lachlan
“Magical. Theres no other word that can really describe it. By the end of the night it didnt feel like we had two photographers but more like two amazing friends only there to share in our perfect day.The photos; amazing! The weather didnt hold very well for us but you couldn’t tell.” - Jacqui And Andrew
“We just received our photos and we couldn't be more happy with our beautiful photos! We are so glad that we stumbled across Michael because we left looking for a photographer very late in our wedding planning process and was worried that we wouldn't be able to find someone that would capture our special day. Michael has been beyond perfect!” - Margaret and Dennis
