Welcome to MD Photography

Hi Im Michelle welcome to MD Photography! I am an NZQA qualified Professional Photographer based in South Canterbury Timaru but I travel regularly to Christchurch, Oamaru and surrounds . My photographic services include all aspects of professional photography, including but not limited to

  • Wedding photography
  • Commercial photography
  • Property photography
  • Event photography
  • Advertising photography
  • Portrait/family photography

I have shot hundreds of events and portraits throughout the years and to date I have shot over 400 weddings Nationally and Internationally. I love chocolate and marketplace, music and roller derby and I dont like worms or telemarketers!  I have been in the industry for over 20  years  spending 5 of those as a professional photographic printer and previous to that I was in the  Hospitality Management industry organising and marketing events. I am an easygoing person who gets on well with pretty much everybody.  My style is a mixture of documentary and portrait and I can  blend into the background when required or jump in and organise family groups with equal ease. I look forward to telling your story your way

 

Families

Why I love photographing families…. For me, being witness to all that love, laughter, affection and chaos is like finding a special treasure, I want nothing more than to capture every little bit of that familys essence and happiness. Every single family session I photograph is completely different and I love it even more when fur babies are involved!

Weddings

Weddings are truly one of lifes magic moments! There is so much emotion all around and people seem to really put away their differences and come together to celebrate as a family.

Being surrounded by all that love and warmth is something I really enjoy. The way a mom’s eyes mist up when she sees her son all grown up ready to start his own family, that instant when a dad realises that his little girl is not so little anymore, the first kiss between a married couple!

What can I say – I am a hopeless romantic at heart and really enjoy being part of someone’s special day. There is always something going on and each wedding I photograph is different from the previous one.

I get to spend the day capturing romance, laughter, joy, anticipation, excitement, and many other photographic moments for my clients. Im so lucky!

Children and babies

Every child is different and Im a firm believer that kids need to let their personality shine, get the silly out and just plain have fun!
