Michael Sheppard Photography

Bridgend Studios was opened on 1st April 2012 at No 1 Kilmore Road, Crossgar. We welcome everyone that comes through our doors

I established Michael Sheppard Photography
in 1997. Over the last 15 years I have
worked with everyone from happy couples
to grumpy chief executives. The results are
always the same; delighted customers that
have photographs that do what they want. It
may be you want a stunning album that tells
the story of your wedding day or you need a
press shot that will stand out on the pages of
a business publication.
Some people love being in front of the
camera, many of us don’t. By engaging
a professional photographer with years
of experience you can be assured that
whether you love it or hate it you will recieve
photographs that you are proud of.
Equally importantly the photographs we
create will not take hours to set up, keeping
you away from your guests or simply getting
on with your day job. The key to success is
understanding your needs and using the
camera to capture those great shots that
leave you with a smile on your face.

Your Big Day
It’s your big day; I will capture it in every
detail. From close-ups of your flowers to
bubbly bridesmaids I will create an album that
you will cherish and want to share with your
family and friends for many years to come.
I know weddings are expensive and I want
to give all my couples value for money. Some
people want a photographer there from
when they get up in the morning to the very
last dance. Others simply want a professional
portrait of the happy couple outside the
church. Whatever you want we can deliver
and I promise that we will be competitive.
Preparation and planning are some of the
essentials when it comes to getting great
wedding photographs. I work with the
bride and groom from the minute we are
commissioned to when we hand over the
finished album to make sure that we have
captured exactly what you want from your
big day.
Your Big Picture
Portrait photography is a real art form; I aim to capture the character of the person, or the family or even the dog. Together we will choose a location that suits you.
Some people want a formal studio shot with a bright white background, others want the children running around in the great outdoors.
A portrait makes a fantastic present and its a great way to remember a special occasion like at 1st or a 21st Birthday. By taking a little bit of time to understand what you want I will create a piece of art that will want to hang on your wall for years to come.
Your Big Business
There are many elements to our commercial photography and I understand that every client has a different objective. From formal studio shots of your product for brochures and web sites to PR shots for media I can deliver your photographic needs on time and on budget.
Unlike many commercial photographers we work on hourly rates rather than daily rates so as well as delivering great photographs that will help build your brand we wont blow your entire marketing budget.
Your Big Event
As well as our full range of commercial photography we also have a a well established events photography business. Add that special touch to you gala ball, company dinner, charity abseil or school formal and provide guests with a photographic memento of the event.
For charity events we can also run this service for you enabling you to create an income from the event.
