Hey, I’m Michael Collins,
A wedding photographer Based in Lagos,Nigeria.
I specialize in capturing authentic moments and genuine emotions.
My goal is to create timeless & heartfelt images that reflect the beauty of true love where every moments is relived as time passes.
My style is unobtrusive which allows me be here,present & real, allowing you to be yourselves which increases the possibility of encouraging natural connections and genuine emotions.
Hopefully, you’re reading this as you like what you’ve seen in my galleries.If so, you obviously have amazing taste! If you’d told me even 4 years ago that I would be working full time as a professional wedding photographer, I would have laughed about it.
But how my life totally switched from being a programmer to being a full time love story teller gathering so much experience has been amazing.
I love that I get to be part of such an exciting, emotional and joyful day for the bride and groom and their friends and family. I feel honoured to be brought into the circle of a very intimate and personal time in someone’s life and documenting that day for them.
I enjoy the social aspect of the day, but I prefer not to be intrusive.
My goal is to capture the genuine moments of the bride and groom in an artistic way. I see myself as someone who loves the idea of love and being in love, which gives me purpose and fulfillment, rather than just being a professional wedding photographer.
The way I work is primarily to just stay in the background, listen and watch. I concentrate and observe in order to anticipate the moments as they unfold and capture couples naturally living their best moments.Every moment counts,the suspense,the excitement and joy,the tears,the hugs & kisses,They all count.
People tend to forget I’m even there, which lets me capture the authentic beautiful moments that really count.
Beyond photography,I’m deeply passionate about God and believe in His unconditional love.I’m a Manchester United fan and a romantic at heart. I cherish the genuine love I share with someone, which is a significant driving force in my life.
I will be honored to capture those special moments.
BRANAMA👑
There is a woman who gets dressed and then checks the mirror one last time, not because she is unsure, but because she wants to see what everyone else is about to see.
Branama was made for her. Sharp, detailed, deliberate and completely unforgettable. Every structured edge, every crystal placed on this gown was designed to reward the kind of confidence that was never up for debate.
She showed up. That was already enough. 👑🔥
