Mike Lister - Professional Wedding & Commercial Photographer in Devon

Every Moment, Every Detail, Forever Yours

I'm Mike Lister, a Devon and Cornwall wedding and commercial photographer with one simple belief: the best photographs come from real moments. Based in Plymouth but working across the Southwest, I capture the unscripted joy of weddings and the authentic story of your business.

My Photography Journey

It all began with a chance encounter in Athena (remember those stores?) - two prints stopped me in my tracks. Frozen moments, never to be repeated, yet preserved forever. That spark became a flame, then a passion that's driven my career for over a decade.

"Weddings became my perfect canvas - those fleeting glances, the quiet hand squeezes, the belly laughs that make your ribs ache. This isn't just photography; it's time travel. Years from now, you'll look at these images and be right back in that moment."

Your Wedding Day, My Approach

As a Devon wedding photographer, I've learned the magic happens when couples forget the camera exists. That's why I work like a friendly guest with a professional eye - capturing your day as it naturally unfolds. Whether it's a Cornish cliffside ceremony or a Plymouth Hoe celebration, I'm there for:

  • The nervous giggles as you get ready
  • The way your partner's eyes crinkle when they see you
  • Your nan tearing up the dancefloor
  • Those quiet moments between the big events
