An absolutely brilliant headshot session! Mike puts you at ease quickly and works with you to get the results you want.

I am so pleased with the outcome of the session and the images he produced.

I have already placed some in my acting profile, and one film director commented that they were the best headshots he has seen.

Now, if that’s not a recommendation, I don’t know what is!

Dave Lee actor

Mike was really good at putting me at ease straightaway.

He was very welcoming, had a great studio and really cares about getting the image you’re looking for.

I highly recommend him as a headshot photographer!

Kitiara Pascoe actor

Well done Mike, Thanks for the great headshot photos. We will be back again.

Darren Pinnick www.beatsolutions.co.uk

Mike took some fantastic photos of my daughter.

He made her feel comfortable and she loved the experience.

Very quick to send over photos.

Teresa Collier

We first met Mike back in 2013 when he took some photos of our baby daughter during her first 18 months. We were so impressed, not only by his talent, but his overall manner and professionalism that we knew he was the perfect choice for our recent wedding at Three Choirs Wickham.

I can’t say I like having my photo taken (nor my husband), but Mike is fantastic, he makes it fun, putting you at ease from the onset, which is just what you need when all eyes are on the bride and groom. The atmosphere was so relaxed, Mike felt like a friend to us and worked with such discretion and efficiency that I have received a number of compliments by our guests to this end.

We are thrilled with our photos and I’m sure we will be back at some point for a family portrait. Thank you Mike, from a very happy Mr and Mrs Symes.

Very impressed by the service and package at Mike Bell Photography.

Totally put me at ease throughout the process and the results were fantastic.

Jason Christopher actor

Fantastic photographer with a great knowledge and professional attitude.

Jayme Swiftt actor

Great session taking headshots, very friendly and welcoming.

Highly recommend.

Gemma Wallace actor

We can’t thank Mike Bell enough for everything he did for us on our wedding. Neither of us particularly like having photos but Mike Bell made us feel relaxed.

He has taken some amazing shots both formal and informal ones where people were gathering by the bar. We were so lucky to go to Titchfield Abbey too and Mike Bell was a true gentleman by driving us down there and allowing us to have some time just the two of us on such a busy day.

We would strongly recommend Mike Bell to anyone who is getting married. Our hamper of goodies after the wedding included some lovely photos already printed and some that could be put up on a stand already. Thank you so much, Mike Bell.

I really enjoyed working with Mike. He was extremely patient with me and constantly gave me feedback during our shoot. Mike was insistent we carry on working until we got the right shots and the end results were amazing!

I would highly recommend Mike to anyone who is looking for a skilled, experienced photographer who will make sure the end results are exactly what you want. He is also excellent value for money.

Tina Chantrey

Mike and Bev Bell were our photographers for our wedding. From the first taster session on the Thursday to our big day, Mike has been the professional photographer everyone wants. Our photos are more than we ever wanted and we can’t thank you both enough. Both Mike and Bev were super friendly and creative throughout the days. Our venue even wanted some of Mikes photos to help promote their venue for the future. I cant wait to put our photos all round our house! Thank you both so much! Georgina Lambert

More than professional and the results speak for themselves. The best there is. Oliver Barnett

We wanted to write to you to say a huge thank you for capturing our day as perfectly as you did. We felt so relaxed having you both there on our special day. Being a wedding photographer myself made it difficult because I wanted to be able to switch off from work and put all my trust into someone else to do the one job I love. You made all of this possible Mike. Our photographs are wonderful and having yourself and your wife Bev there ensured that we could relax and enjoy ourselves. We can’t thank you enough. We had an amazing day and love looking back through the photographs to remind us. With kind regards, Adam and Nicola Lang

Mike, thank you so so much for the photos, it’s been an amazing year for Stuart and I and you have managed to capture that for us. It’s been emotional going back through all the photos.

We are very blessed to have Phoebe.

Thank you again. Natalie & Stuart

We cannot begin to thank you enough for our wonderful wedding pictures. They really do tell the story of our amazing day from start to finish. The work you had done prior in terms of looking for the best places for lighting and scenery was very obvious. You knew exactly where you wanted to photograph and it made the whole process so effortless. Your knowledgeable, professional, polite and relaxed approach made all of us almost forget that you were there. We are so proud to be able to show our friends and family our photograph album. Everyone has commented on the outstanding quality, style and presentation of the pictures which have captured every element of the day. If we had one criticism it would be that there were too many fantastic pictures to choose from! We were spoilt for choice. We look forward to the next event where we or someone we know requires pictures. Sophie & James

Mike, Thank you so much for the lovely photo, I am still blown away by it!

Kathy Downs

Just wanted to say thankyou for all your hard work in photographing and producing our beautiful wedding photos. We are all really pleased with them, we know how difficult it can be to take such clear shots of people, especially complicated photos of moving bubbles and balloons and high contrast images. Your photos were stunning and really show what a fun time everyone had. Each time we look at them they bring a smile and happy memories. The bubble and balloon theme went down very well with the guests and the flow of events was largely down to your direction which allowed John and I to relax and enjoy the moment. So thankyou for that too. Maybe you should consider a sideline in events management as well! As you may remember I personally feel that photos are very important treasures for the memories of people as well as events. They give history in picture and contain emotion and memories too. I am so grateful for the memories that you have caught on film for us. Everyone who has seen the photos said how excellent they are and friends commented on your calm approach. Hopefully some of our friends will use your skills too someday and hopefully we will also return to your studio for our future life changing events. I certainly cannot think of a better person for the job. Until that time thankyou and take care. Love Stella and John Cosens x

Wow! What a fantastic album. We have only had it a fortnight and most people we know have seen it, I can’t stop showing it off! Thank you for your patience, it took us a while to choose from an amazing collection of photos. The online viewing of photos and the actual wedding album was brilliant, we were so excited in Mexico (honeymoon) to be able to view them instead of waiting until we got back. You have been a pleasure to work with and please thank Bev for her help on our wedding day too. I am busy recommending you to all my friends about to start arranging their weddings! We hope you enjoyed the day and look forward to working with you again. With many thanks, Katie and Chris

You have a gift to capture just the right moment that translates into memories that will last a lifetime. Much appreciated! Rose, Jeff and Lucas Streznetcky

Our wedding pictures are truly wonderful, thank you for all your hard work before and on the day. It was a remarkable day for us and the photographs have provided us with many a fond memory. It amazes me how, compared to most wedding photographers, with no additional help and an unassuming manner you have been able to capture these moments. Everybody who has seen the photos so far have also been very impressed. Thanks again. Best wishes, Andy and Nicola

I came into contact with Mike through a deal to get 3 pictures of our baby over the course of a year and we were blown away by the pictures. So much so that we returned with number 2 and will be doing the same with number 3!

The photographs we have are priceless and we will treasure them forever. I have recommended him to all my friends. Laura Leech

Mike is amazing. I had my photos done with him when I was 6yrs old…now 29 my 4 month old daughter is doing the same. Highly recommended. Alishe Williamson

A very big Thank You to you and Bev for the photography at Yuki and Richards Blessing and reception. We are all absolutely delighted with the photos and we have had many compliments to pass on to you from our guests. We will soon be placing orders for the photos but you have given us a difficult choice as they are all excellent! Your friendly, professional manner was much appreciated by everyone on the day and your choice of taking the photos in the church on such a cold damp day was absolutely right. We can assure you that we will recommend you to all our friends and acquaintances. With best wishes, Penny and Alan

You really managed to capture the spirit and atmosphere of the day in all of the images and everyone who has looked at the slide show has made similar very positive comments. Thank you too for being so professional on the day, you managed to get everyone organised for the group shots but also seemed to blend into the crowd to take the more candid shots. Thanks again Mike and we cannot wait to see our Album! Yours sincerely, Kate & Dave

The photos are fantastic and the way that they are displayed to help you make a decision is wonderful. Really looking forward to our next session. Thank you 🙂 Su & Nick Wright

I wanted to put pen to paper to thank you for the fabulous job you did when you photographed our wedding. We asked you to be as inconspicuous as possible and to keep the formal shots to a minimum. You produced fantastic results, we loved all the photographs, so deciding which pictures not to include was very difficult. Your help in collating our album was very much appreciated. In fact, I have to say “You did exactly what it said on the tin”. Thank you. We also wanted to say that the portrait session at home, after baby Emilia was born was both enjoyable and again produced excellent results. We used one of the photographs you took on our “Thank You” cards, which went down particularly well with family and friends. Mike, I have recommended you to our friends Jo and Paul who are getting married soon and I will happily recommend you to anyone else. Thank you for your help and of course the fabulous photographs. Kind regards, Lindy & David Tittle
