Australia’s finest.

Not your ordinary wedding photographer.

I am not about awkward poses or staged moments. I move with your day like part of your bridal party — relaxed, present, and capturing what’s real.

Based in Sydney and travelling worldwide, I am here to make sure you look natural, confident, and incredible in every frame.

  • ’m Michael Dela Cruz, a destination wedding photographer capturing love stories with a cinematic and timeless approach. I believe every wedding is more than an event — it’s a legacy in the making. Through intentional storytelling and heartfelt moments, I create images that feel as real and beautiful decades from now as they do today.

  • I believe wedding photography is more than capturing how your day looks — it’s about preserving how it feels.

    My approach is rooted in storytelling. I document weddings with a cinematic perspective, blending natural moments with refined artistry. I focus on genuine emotions, subtle in-between glances, and the quiet details that often go unnoticed — because those are the moments that truly matter.

    Rather than overly directing, I guide gently. I create space for you to be present, to laugh freely, to hold each other a little longer. This allows me to capture images that are timeless, heartfelt, and authentically you.

    Light, composition, and atmosphere are at the core of my style. I’m drawn to soft natural light, elegant tones, and frames that feel like scenes from a film — romantic, modern, and deeply personal.

    On your wedding day, I am both observer and storyteller — calm, attentive, and intentional. My goal is simple: to create photographs that not only look beautiful today, but feel meaningful for a lifetime.

  • I work with modern couples who value storytelling over trends — couples who want their wedding day captured in a cinematic, emotional, and timeless way. My clients appreciate authenticity, intentional details, and photographs that feel like scenes from a film. They trust the process and want more than just coverage — they want legacy.

  • "Michael and the photography team were punctual and professional. They were patient with crying children and ensured that we had photos with all of our guests. We love their photography style. We also hired the mirror booth from the team, all of our guests loved using the props and walking away with a photo memory of the day."

    Brad & Lauren

  • "We couldn’t have asked for a better experience than working with Litrato team for our wedding! From our first meeting, their passion for capturing love stories was evident. On our big day, they blended seamlessly into the background, capturing candid moments that we will cherish forever. The attention to detail and creativity in every shot truly exceeded our expectations. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about telling your unique story through their lens, look no further."
