We had a great photoshoot with Michael. He was very professional and our baby was very at ease with him and we ended up with some great pictures. The watch me grow deal is great value, I'd highly recommend.

Thank you Michael for some fantastic shots of Sonny, we are absolutely delighted with the end result. Michael was so patient that each session felt very relaxed which came across in the images he took. Service was great and we'll certainly be in touch again in the near future. Thanks again! :)

I was bought a photo shoot as a gift for my newborn. I was not bothered about getting photos done BUT I am so glad I did! The shoot itself was an incredible experience where my baby was put at such ease as was I. The photos that were taken were so good that I ended up buying the rights for them all as I could not choose. I went into this thinking I may buy one or two. I could not recommend more.

We came along just a couple of weeks ago with a voucher we won at our sons school - we had a family photo shoot and couldn’t be happier - you really caught our sons character! Not pushy to buy at all and explained how to get the best deal! Highly recommend!

I had a bump to baby shoot with Memory Gate and it was fantastic. The whole experience was great. Easy to contact, flexible, polite and professional service. The shoot was relaxed and fun. The photos were stunning and access to the online gallery was awesome-meaning family could help choose the shots to keep. Much better than the other 2 studios I had visited. Would highly recommend.

Michael was amazing with our baby photo session. We missed her early newborn session because of the pandemic and lockdown and were worried she would grow too quickly. Not only was Michael patient and friendly but was brilliant in getting our baby to smile and helped in capturing some of her beautiful expressions. Although very expensive, I would say worth every penny!!

We had a wonderful newborn/family shoot done by Michael. The pictures were all amazing and so difficult to just choose a few. Hence choosing to go with the top package so that we could keep them all. Michael was super professional (even more so with COVID) and patient considering our newborn cried and stayed awake majority of our time there. We never felt rush and were made to feel at ease. Thank you Michael!

We had an excellent cake smash session at Michaels Studio in Croydon! He managed to get some brilliant shots although one of my twins was moody that day. The cake smash followed with a bubble bath, pictures came out super cute!!!We were very happy with the outcome & recommend him!

I would definitely recommend Memory Gate. They were very professional and patient, taking pictures of a newborn can be a very time consuming and tiring day!! The end result is a collection of pictures which are flawless and beautiful. We will be back again without a doubt for our next photo shoot.

We had a fantastic session with Memory Gate Photography Studios. This was the second time that we have used them and we were very happy with the wonderful photographs on both occasions. Never rushed and very calm, Michael and Marcin went out of their way to understand what we wanted and made us feel relaxed and comfortable. They managed to capture some very natural smiles in our photographs, as well as managing to get the two of them smiling together – not always easy to do, especially with my shy elder child! Most of our personal photographs taken usually end up with either the backs of their heads, or blurred as they don’t stand still long enough, and we have very few of them together, yet Michael made it look easy! Family portraits bring a lifetime of memories and pleasure and we will not hesitate to use them again in the future.

Michael has done two cake smashes for me, one compliant son and one not so compliant. He has the patience of a saint and both shoots produced absolutely beautiful photographs. He also photographed my sister's twins and my three sons for my mother's birthday present. They are such lovely photos. I can't recommend Michael highly enough.

Many thanks to Marcin Mieczkowski and Memorygate photographic for the wonderful website they designed and developed for my photography, Equus & Aqua by Nur Tucker. Throughout their work they have not only been extremely professional, punctual and highly competent but also gave me loads of ideas on how to increase traffic to my website. They kept their promise for the deadline. I am very happy with their work.

Michael and Marcin are a thoroughly professional and creative team. They did a fantastic shoot of our son Leo in our home and the photos were excellent. The only problem was trying to choose a final selection of shots. I would highly recommend Memorygate to anyone wanting portraits with a bit of flair.
