Candid first
The expressions, reactions and interactions that happen without prompting are usually the photographs that matter most. Andy gives those moments room to happen.
Candid, natural coverage of the people, atmosphere and moments that make the day yours — with gentle direction only when it helps.
A wedding is not a photoshoot with a timetable attached. It is a day full of people, movement, nerves, laughter, small details and moments that happen once.
Andy Michel photographs weddings around Mauritius with a documentary-led approach: staying unobtrusive when real moments are unfolding, then stepping in with simple direction when portraits, light or logistics need it.
Coverage can range from an intimate elopement or small ceremony to a full wedding day with getting ready, ceremony, couple portraits, reception, party and more than one location. For sessions outside the wedding day, see couple and family photography in Mauritius.
The expressions, reactions and interactions that happen without prompting are usually the photographs that matter most. Andy gives those moments room to happen.
Portraits do not need to feel stiff. A small adjustment, a change of position or a little guidance is often enough to make the light and composition work naturally.
The goal is a polished gallery that still feels like the wedding you actually experienced — the people, the atmosphere and the unexpected parts included.
There is no reason to choose wedding coverage blindly before Andy understands the day. Tell him what you are planning, which moments matter to you and how the locations fit together. He can then recommend the coverage that makes sense.
Tell Andy about the wedding →Couple-only celebrations and smaller ceremonies can be covered without turning the day into a large production.
Coverage can include preparations, ceremony, couple portraits, reception, dinner and party depending on the day you are planning.
Preparation, ceremony, portraits and reception do not need to happen in one place. Multi-location wedding days can be planned into the coverage.
Drone photography is included when weather and flying conditions allow. More extensive wedding plans can also incorporate underwater photography and boat trips.
Mauritius can move from hard sun to cloud, wind and a passing shower quickly. The useful thing is not pretending the weather is predictable — it is knowing how to adapt when it changes.
Andy photographs throughout Mauritius with no additional travel charge within the island. If the wedding uses several venues, those movements can be factored into the photography plan from the beginning.
And when conditions are suitable, aerial photography can add a completely different view of the coastline, venue and surroundings without replacing the human moments on the ground. Practical questions about weather, timing, delivery and drone photography are covered in the wedding photography FAQs.

You do not need to decide on a package or number of hours first. Send the date, venue and the shape of the day, and Andy can recommend suitable coverage.
