Excellent Wedding + Engagement Photographers!

M2 Photography captured both our engagement and wedding photos, and the results were stunning. Friends and family mentioned how beautiful the shots were — and how naturally they captured who we are as a couple.

Melissa and Michael are warm, funny, and genuinely easy to be around, which made all the difference. Feeling comfortable with your photographers is everything, given they’re around for more intimate parts of the day like getting-ready photos. We’ve never done professional photos and they guided us well with games and pose suggestions (without making it awkward) which made the whole experience a fun memory to look back on. They nailed capturing relaxed posed shots to family portraits to candid moments.

Absolutely the best!!

The M2/Stagger team are truly one in a million and we can’t say enough wonderful things about them. We knew they were wonderful from our initial phone call/meeting, and they were just as awesome in person as we suspected they would be. We are not naturals in front of a camera, but the whole team just made us feel comfortable. Our wedding day was rainy, so our first look shots weren’t in the original/planned location - however, they were able to seamlessly pivot to a new location and the photos are stunning - we are now so glad there was rain! The whole team was present, but not distracting, at the event, and seemed to blend in seamlessly with the guests. We have our teaser photos and they are absolutely gorgeous and capture exactly what we had hoped they would. They sent helpful and thoughtful surveys, including must have shots (but also included many more people when we changed our minds day of!). Truly, would love them to capture every important (and maybe inconsequential) event in our lives moving forward!

The Best People to Work With!

Michael, Melissa and their whole team are amazing to work with. From our first time speaking with them we knew that we wanted to work with M2 and Stagger. You can just tell that they are genuine people and care about each couple that they work with! Michael and Melissa made us feel so comfortable and at ease on our wedding day. We felt like we were spending the day with close friends! Our wedding pictures turned out better than we could have ever imagined! We have gotten so many compliments our family and friends about our wedding photos. From sweet first look moments to epic dance floor pictures—the M2 team does it all!

Best photographers in the business!

Wow- we were left speechless looking through all of our amazing wedding photos. We hired M2 very quickly after getting engaged, and ended up hiring one of their associates, Audrey, to do our engagement and wedding photos. It was honestly one of the best decisions we made! Audrey is talented beyond words and so kind and professional. On top of that, all of the photos M2 produces are beautifully edited so that we have the same cohesive look and feel with our engagement and wedding photos, which I love! Amrit was our second shooter on our wedding day and was also a joy to work with, and an incredibly talented photographer. M2 clearly hires the best in the business! Photos were one of the things we really wanted to invest in so we could always remember our special day, and we truly couldn't be happier with Melissa's M2 team and the photos they produced for us!

I also wanted to note that we had to reschedule our wedding and engagement shoot due to the pandemic and they were extremely understanding and helpful!

Absolutely Phenomenal!

Michael and Melissa are hands down the best.
They are amazing people, but besides that their work is absolutely PHENOMENAL.
Honestly, look nowhere else for photography when it comes to any of your events!
JUST BOOK THEM NOW! Their product is outstanding and it always exceeds any expectations.
We did look at other photographers when planning for our wedding, but were immediately drawn to them, and they came recommended by so many other people including vendors. The photos are timeless and just beautiful. They are both so fun to be around and working with a couple for your wedding is just so fun. They have amazing personalities and make you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Everything just feels so fun and nothing feels staged.
We worked with them for our engagement/adventure shoot, wedding one (COVID, backyard wedding) and our postponed wedding two (which was multiple events). They captured literally every aspect perfectly. Our big wedding was 15 plus hours of photography, and they were on the ball, moving with us, capturing everything at every second. They were so patient when it came to postponing and rescheduling/adjusting based on what our needs were.
We have received endless compliments on our photos and we can honestly not stop looking at them.
We truly cannot thank them enough for everything they did to make our day special and capture everything so perfectly.

Additionally, their entire team is so easy to work with.
We also used Stagger films for videography, poser photobooth for our photobooth, and we used them for our album. We worked with different people for all of these services, and everyone is just so nice and kind, with spectacular end results.

Hire M2 - You will not regret it!

Melissa and Michael are the best of the best. They make you feel so comfortable in front of the camera so you end up getting unbelievable photos that capture all of the best emotions from your big day. My husband and I were so worried that we would look and feel awkward taking our photos, but they are so good at what they do that you forget you are even taking pictures. They are amazing people and even better photographers!

The absolute best

We cannot say enough amazing things about Melissa and Michael with M2 Photography. this was one of, if not the most important decisions for our wedding and one of the first decisions we made while planning.
the style and beauty of the photos were outstanding - above and beyond expectations. The photos are timeless and will remind us for years to come of our beautiful day. But what was such a pleasant surprise was meeting and working with Michael and Melissa.
With so many changes and uncertainties surrounding a Covid wedding, Michael and Melissa worked with us and accommodated all changes. Once we got to meet them the real fun began. While we are naturally awkward people, Michael and Melissa made us laugh and cry and captured moments we didnt even realize happened. They listened to the types of photos we wanted and kept the vibe exactly how we wanted it to be. They made us feel like we had been lifelong friends and created an atmosphere of love and fun - what more could you ask for in a wedding.
we cannot wait to work with them in the future and would 100000% recommend them to anyone.

M2 Celebration

We had a flawless experience with M2. We worked with Audrey who was fabulous and made us feel so comfortable, free, and relaxed. I didn't realize how important this would be. Our teasers look AMAZING. And I cannot wait to see our full gallery. I am grateful to M2 for capturing our day with such love, support and beauty.

The best out there

Honestly- where do I begin!? Finding Melissa & Michael from M2 was one of the best things we did throughout the wedding planning process.

From day one, they were genuinely interested in getting to know us as a couple, understand who we are and how to capture our love on our wedding day. We had TWO engagement shoots, 3 postponed weddings, and finally got to have our dream day on 4/22/21. Melissa & Michael handled each change with patience and grace, and were there for support during a really stressful time, while it was equally as stressful for them as wedding photographers.

Aside from them being wonderful humans, their work is unmatched. We could tell that from doing our research, but when we got our first engagement shoot gallery back we were thrilled. What they capture is not staged or forced, it's pure and real, which is what we were looking for from the beginning.

OUR WEDDING PHOTOS- are quite literally out of a magazine. We have looked at our gallery so many times and you can feel the love that was shared on our special day. To us, that was so important. The day goes by so fast, and it meant a lot for us to have pictures that could bring you back to the day and feel the love surrounding us. Our entire bridal party and family felt so comfortable with M2, and they really made our day and our photos fun. I truthfully love every single photo from our wedding day.

If you are looking for amazing photographers who work hard to capture real, pure love in photos- look no further!!

Amazing Photographers

This past September, my wife and I had the pleasure of working is Erica and David from M2. They were responsive, incredibly professional and personable. 
On our wedding day, we had a fairly compressed timeline, only having about 30 minutes for getting ready, getting individual shots and doing our first look. However, Erica and David were able to capture some amazing photos in that time. During that small window of time, they helped us feel at ease in front of the camera, allowing us to really settle into our big day. They were on top of where they wanted to capture us, having no hesitation of where to guide us as we moved from scene to scene. They gave easy instruction for poses and welcomed humor for an easy smile.

After the ceremony, they easily handled family photos, as well as any requests off the tops of our head. As the evening progressed, they maintained an impressive low profile, capturing great moments while never being in the way. They were also easy to find if we wanted a quick photo somewhere. 
Overall, we’re incredibly thankful to have worked with M2. They captured our wedding day beautifully, and looking through the photos, we’re able to relive that special day. If you are looking for a low stress, high quality group to work with, look no further! 
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
